Thanks Snake! Do you know if the hood is the same?

I have an original issue AMT 66 impala to restore. I need both bumpers and a hood. Are the hood and rear bumper from the modified stock car kit the same as the original issue? I know the front bumper/grille was altered for the modified stock car. Thanks. Carmak

Monogram did a 1/24 57 Nomad way back in the day. Similar in design to their 57 BelAir HT.

Thanks, I didn't think so but I have been surprised in the past by some obscure kits.

Was the 64 GP ever re-issued?

71-72 Heavy Chevy!!

Although I understand a lot of tooling was scrapped I know suspect there is still some undiscovered stuff. I have a sample shot of the 66 Thunderbird Craftsman that was run in the early 2000's. The tooling was not labeled correctly. I cant find any pics of it right now. When I do I create a new post.

My next attempt would be to leave it on the supports for a few days. You might be correct about the daylight causing the problem. Do you have the ability to core out the frame rails to the top to reduce the will thickness?

At what stage is the warp occurring? When still on the print platform and supports before wash and post-cure When still on the print platform and supports after wash but before post-cure When still on the print platform and supports after wash and post-cure After removal from the print platform and supports Also just curious, what CAD are you using for your design work?

IRONY!! Being the owner of a 68 Coronet convertible I have been on the lookout for affordable kits or builders since the mid 80's. I have found and restored a couple builders over the years but never a kit until now. Of course is was just a couple weeks after it was announced that a re-tooled version was on the way. Found locally "in the wild" as part a very reasonably priced lot of models from various eras. The 68 Coronet is missing the interior tub (I have a spare) and the 68 Barracuda is missing the hood other wise they look complete. Carmak

How about a "Parts Pack" with the following parts designed to fit the current 72 C-10 kit: 69-70 C-10 Grille 67-68 C-10 Grille 67-72 GMC Grille (I know there are differences) 67-68 Sloped hood 69-70 Bowtie emblem for the hood GMC Tailgate A topper

Looking back to 1966 MPC had the 32/33 Chevy roadster/panel, the 28 Ford Sedan/Woody/Truck and the King T. The 15 Chevy proposal aligns with what was going on at the time with kustom rods and multiple bodies.

This release will make the demo derby builders really happy!

Hard to tell in this picture but the wagon has even more room for rear tires. I sold this one about 10 years ago and wish I had it back.

This is a picture of my still not completed 68 Coronet 500 convertible with the original green top in "crush" material. The green top was a one year only deal. The windshield of 68-70 B-body convertibles is taller the hardtops and sedans. When the B-body was facelifted from 67 to 68 the hardtops/sedans got a new lower roof and shorter windshield. Since the convertible and station wagon were low volume sellers they were left unchanged with the taller windshield. Craig

There is a YouTube series about the guy that bought the car. He is a Pontiac guy that has a nice GT37. He made the car drivable (not really street legal). He replaced the engine/trans and rear end to do it. The roof on the car is really bad and I think the chassis is twisted. It looks like it was rolled before being shot up. There is an engine teardown episode and it is REALLY nasty. Some of the pushrods are rusted thru.

I got this 72 RR from the same person as the 62 Olds. I kinda like it as a survivor so it will just go onto the shelf.

There is a Jay Leno's Garage (on YouTube) episode that features one of these. Worth the watch.

Just got this on the road. Original Nevada car (solid body / baked interior). 1960 Buick LeSabre.

Just got this 62 Olds 88 as part of a stash of models. There is a corvette front clip welded to the front of it. I have many models from this builder, his building skills range from poor to fair but his hand painting skills were solidly fair and creative. Since I am not sure what to do with this one right now I am just going to bag it and tag it.

My son was involved in FIRST robotics and our small town school went to the worlds competition for the first time when he was on the team. I know VEX is not FIRST but they are both good programs! Carmak

The wheels look like the wheels that came in the original issue AMT 69 Camaro. Very cool build.

The plan is to restore most of them. I have traded a couple to local model friends and I think I am going to leave the 71 Duster and the 72 RR as is. Carmak

I found these locally over the last couple weeks. 71 Mustang is built (in the box) (MPC) Super Teen is just a very cool empty box 71 Camaro is partially built (MPC) 73 Camaro Warlord (MPC) 72 Road Runner (hand painted Sox & Martin) (MPC) 65 Imperial (AMT) 65 Chevelle (Time Machine AWB) (AMT) 67 Toronado (MPC) 71 Duster (MPC) 70 Chevy C-10 (AMT) 71 Torino (ElToro) (AMT) 69 Grand Prix (needs stock bumpers) (MPC) 67 Barracuda still has the slant 6 in it (missing the intake) (AMT) 66 Cadillac Ambulance (JoHan) 71 GTO (MPC)

I also have some random pieces that are molded in what I would call a "mid purge" aqua green. Possibly transitioning over to the turquoise color.
