Says 'Build Drag, Stock or Custom' on the box art in the photo...

I like the phantom retro box art...they've also done '67 and '69 kits this way, maybe they will do something '68 style (one of my favorite years of vintage AMT box art)...maybe the El Camino.

Fascinating...I'd seen pics of the 1:1, didn't know it was kitted. The kit seems to be inaccurate as far as some details like the side windows...

Alas, doing an '83/84 or '85/86 from this kit would require a lot of changes...different interior, different side windows, rub strips, front and rear bumpers, hood, side quarter windows, etc. Basically a new body w/ all the trim differences.

MPC made the '83 and '84 in 1/25th. The '85-86 (non-SVO) was never kitted.

YOLO!

Sharp build...nice to see one with larger wheels/tires than the tiny ones the 1:1s have...I see so many of them everyday, they blend in after a while.

Some nice builds...as far as the scale, remember these kits date back to the '80s---before Revell bought Monogram, and 1/24th was Monogram's standard scale. I built these back in the day as a kid and they still build up nicely today IMO after so many reissues.

I remember that...I bought some resin kits from him at a Copperstate show and the NNL West probably 10 years ago. Sad to hear, he always had some interesting items in his resin line.

I see no problem with lots of categories, as long as they are clearly defined. Imagine how awful it would be if there were no categories and just one forum with page after page of uncategorized posts and threads...

I doubt if many people would read it either. People are lazy...

'70s cars are one of my favorite old car eras, esp. full size. I have the AMT '70 Fords (Galaxie and LTD), '70 Buick, AMT and MPC '70 Impalas, and the MPC '71 and '72 Impalas, '73-76 Caprices. The drop-off in promo orders from the automakers probably accounts partially for why so few kits were made back in the day after 1970 in the full size niche. However, the resin makers, esp. Modelhaus and Missing Link, have done many interesting subjects in this niche...I've got the Modelhaus '70 Ford wagons, '72 Ford Custom, '72 LTD, '72 Riviera, '73 Caprice wagon, '75 Impala 4dr, '76 Caddy Coupe de Ville, Motor City Resin '70 XL, ML '71 Galaxie and '78 LTD, AAR '71 Olds 88 and '71 Riviera, R&R '70 Chrysler 300, '70 Chevy wagon, and F&F '70 Impala 4dr ht.

LoL...in theory, 5pm, but some coworkers start drinking at lunch, esp. on Thursdays when we have our weekly company meeting in the afternoon....

Collecting diecast, promo models, watching a lot of motorsport (F1, IndyCar, NASCAR, DTM, etc), movies, going to races (IndyCar, NASCAR, ALMS), travel, listening to music, going to concerts, dining out (consider myself a foodie--love good food, good wine, good beer), enjoying time w/ my dogs.

+1. My company has plenty of Jameson, Laphroaig, Johnny Walker, etc in the kitchen (along w/ a fully stocked beer fridge) for happy hour and after hours consumption...

Sharp build..that kit is on my to-buy list, will look nice w/ my AMT '67-71 T-bird annuals.

I So lots of fake garbage. I have coworkers that drink that junk, I'll stick w/ coffee, OJ and water....

MCW makes a 2dr sedan body that works w/ the Lindberg kit, it's pretty nice.

Vile garbage..another 'Freakshow' abomination. needs to go straight to the crusher.

Probably not, but the Modelhaus also makes '57 Custom Royal 2dr ht and convertible kits.

Neat subject...the Modelhaus also has a '57 Plymouth Savoy 4dr sedan, this would be nice paired with it....

Or California Wheels...don't know if this is a Foose build, definitely is of the style...

I think Revell is done w/ the 'donk' style kits, and big wheel hi-riders are a GM thing anyway...looks like it will have stock and Pro-Touring style wheels w/ lowered suspension.

The '78 was the last year that MPC offered it, so that's what they had to work with without retooling. I already have the '76 kit, looking forward to the '78. I wonder what happened to the AMT Pacer wagon...I know there was a custom version, but I don't know if those were add on parts or tooling changes. Who knows, maybe we will see more 'last year of release' MPC kits like this if the tooling is still out there, like the '79 Pinto or '80 Volare...

I wasn't really familiar w/ his earlier work until I heard him on the track 'Hands of Time' w/ Groove Armada on the 'Collateral' soundtrack back in '05...great voice.
