  1. Ford of Brazil used that 1966 Galaxie platform all the way into the 80's with multiple facelifts. In the mid 70's it was called the LTD and in the late 70's / 80's it was called the Landau. Carmak
  2. I would like to know how to contact them directly so I can buy piece parts like bumpers and hoods.
  3. The missing 394 could be a blessing since it might direct you to a newer engine/trans and that way you will replace the horrific Slim-Jim Roto Hydramatic. This is a 61 Olds C/B ambulance I had MANY years ago.
  4. I have a Palmer "PSM" 71 Challenger and with a little work it would make a nice model. The body proportions are nice and it has the standard dash. The chassis is really bad but this will be easy to replace. I wish the Lindberg version of the kit included the nice hood that is in this 71.
  5. I agree with the previous advice. I would add that It looks like you live fairly close to Indianapolis. You should look into Indy area swap meets and model shows (that typically have a swap on the side). One big savings is no shipping .
  6. I will try to his the model cave and the Hudson Museum. My wife is very much into 1:1 cars but not as much into scale cars. She is already all in for the Hudson Museum.
  7. Beautiful build! With the boat you have made a very well know kit very fresh. Well done!
  8. Nice clean build! As others have said I am glad I took a look as it exceeded my expectations.
  9. I just saw niteowl7710’s post and pictures of the Revell 71 442 (the picture of the built kit is his picture). At first I thought either the front wheel opening looks kinda long or the rear wheel opening looks kinda short but after finding a 1:1 pic taken at about the same angle I am not so sure. Carmak
  10. I tried hard to include Milwaukee and/or Madison but I lost . I do occasionally do business in the Milwaukee area so I will keep your list. Thanks!!
  11. I am taking a family vacation this summer through parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, The UP of Michigan and Wisconsin (see map below). I am looking for model car / slot car related places to stop along the way. This would include good antique shops that may have models or slot cars. Thanks. Craig
  12. The box is Satco. The key Satco detail is that the glass is vacu-form. I don't know if AMT ever updated the chassis (from 60-66). I will need to dig out my 63 kit to see what the chassis look like.
  13. I just saw these pics on a Facebook Forum for vintage slot cars. Although technically slot cars I feel they are relevant to this topic. Until I saw these pic this morning I did not know these ever existed. Carmak
  14. Thanks! That test shot is the same color green as the parts I have. Cool!
  15. Although it's currently packed I think my parts box has an original front bumper grille. If I can't find my original I agree that the Modified stocker grille could be made to work since the 66 grille pattern is basically horizontal ribs.
  16. I can't find the completed auction. I would like to see if the green is the same shade as the random green parts I have. Thanks. Carmak
  17. Ever have any issues with lifting or surface crazing? An specific paints you can't put on it? Thanks. Craig
  18. 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
  19. Monogram did a 1/24 57 Nomad way back in the day. Similar in design to their 57 BelAir HT.
  20. Thanks, I didn't think so but I have been surprised in the past by some obscure kits.
