    I would like to know how to contact them directly so I can buy piece parts like bumpers and hoods.

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    Beautiful build! With the boat you have made a very well know kit very fresh. Well done!

    Nice clean build! As others have said I am glad I took a look as it exceeded my expectations.

    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

    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!!

    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

    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.

    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

    After seeing tis pic I really hope I can find my original issue grille
  14. Carmak
    Thanks! That test shot is the same color green as the parts I have. Cool!

    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.

    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

    Ever have any issues with lifting or surface crazing? An specific paints you can't put on it? Thanks. Craig

    Thanks Robert! this is perfect!
  19. Carmak
    Thanks Snake! Do you know if the hood is the same?
  20. Carmak
    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.
  22. Carmak
    Thanks, I didn't think so but I have been surprised in the past by some obscure kits.
  23. Carmak
    Was the 64 GP ever re-issued?
  24. Carmak
    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.
