Great color choices in my eye. One of the few I have seen done and this one is on top. I agree with others as this is a great parts kit also.

Dad drove a green one with a super six for a few years to well over 200,000 miles.

I have been lucky with the Excell brand of blades. I did just pick up a pack of the coated #11 X-acto blades this week. When they arrived this week I used one at work and I am not sure they are any better for general use as of yet.

Mine was in the mail box today. Temperance MI.

Nice looking Ford interceptor. This would have made the Bandit and the Duke boys shake in their boots . ?

I picked one of these up when Ollies had them, to bad they did not have the tall T as well.

The body is looking good, Mike.

I think you are correct about those wheels.

The Model Cave in Ypsilanti has them in stock. They just put it on facebook. Mine should be here soon then.

Bruce keep it easy on the 32 body, but if you have a problem I have an extra. I wonder if you put some wire on these post to make them stronger. Also do you have any extra trans-axles from any vettes sitting around? LOL

Amt 34 Ford truck was molded in red.

First I want to say this looks great. I love the color of the wheels just not sure if the grill matching in the same color would not be a bit to much.

I am sure it is the same one sold for many years. Nice engine kit.

Yes, LOL

Looks like he was into John DeLoren's old papers to create this.

Holly cow this is awesome, even in the smaller scale.

Bill if I see something I like that is aftermarket I buy it because if you wait you may never see it again. Even if it is just for an idea that may change. If I don't have the cash I try and get it when I can. Some may call that collecting or hording but I have wanted things I seen years ago that are no longer around. I waited until I had time to do the project but the parts vanished. LOL

Thank you for posting.

Welcome aboard.

This is looking good Jim. The toned down rust looks better. On the Astro van, Chevy was repainting trucks from that era fro having paint adhesion problems. I bet that van started out down south in the sun baking states. The front fenders look just like the trucks I have seen before the repaint from Chevy. Ford had the same problems back then.

These Photos are great. Nice work on this old kit. Now I know what the funny chassis I found in a parts lot is from now.

Thank you Tim. Great pictures.

Longer than that. The new 23 years ago or so was the old style Coke bottle in plastic. Along with that came the 5 foot base so they did not have to have the plastic cup on the bottom of the bottle. This was cheaper and stronger and let the bottle stand up on it's own. When they had the coke bottle the way they wanted they started on the sprite bottle with the little round bumps in the side. To make it easier Alan just drink it down to the top of the label and refill with your favorite mixer.
