  1. I'm so slow at building, it will be a while...not sure when I get to it...not sure what chassis I will use, have a bunch of Mopar Pro Stock kits to build...Johan '71 Cudas, CR '71 Challenger and '72 Cuda, MPC '72 Duster and '73 Duster..
  2. I got my set of Chuck's Billy the Kid decals today...they look great, excellent quality. Look forward to using them on my Competition Resins '72 Demon Pro Stock.
  3. Yeah, as well as an April 17, 2014 on-sale date...
  4. The proportions on that blue illustration look weird..too much front overhang and too much space between the door and rear wheel..
  5. The Evos is probably foreshadowing some of the styling themes of the next Mustang, if not the details. Since the next Mustang will be a world car on sale in many markets outside NA, I suspect it will be more of a modern/forward looking design rather than a retro design..
  6. The '71 Firebird Pegasus...a pet project at GM built by/for GM Styling exec Bill Mitchell...it had a restyled front and rear w/ Ferrari-esque styling. http://www.motortrend.com/classic/features/c12_0603_1971_pontiac_firebird_pegasus/
  7. Why would you believe something he posted? He doesn't work for Ford. He's just a tv personality.
  8. Some people believe any image posted on the internet is 100% accurate. They aren't thinking critically about the sources of such information.
  9. I've seen people comment on the front end shape being off (heard similar issues w/ the Revell 1/24th one)..... the chassis is pretty simple w/ molded in driveshaft (though other more detailed chassis can be swapped in from other kits like the '69 Olds 442). If Revell were to do a full detail '68-72 Chevelle in 1/25th , I'd vote for a '68 or '71, since the '69, 70, and '72 are easy to find...
  10. That would be wild... I wouldn't mind having a couple spare Cosworth DFVs in 1/25th.. maybe put one in a vintage Mustang. I read a long time ago in Car & Driver that in the '70s someone put one in a F100, but that may just be an urban legend.
  11. Until official images of a production model are released, can't really say anything...this is just pointless speculation at this point.
  12. There was also the humpback '82-87 Lincoln Continental sedan that was a Fox body. And the '81-82 Granada and Cougar 4dr & 2dr (distinct from the '80-82 XR-7). That platform got a lot of use....
  13. Supposedly the Cuda is coming as an SRT brand model (like the Viper) on a shortened LX platform, but the Challenger is going to continue. But nothing has been officially announced yet, so it's all rumor and speculation still at this point...
  14. For a variation of the '62 Corvette, I'd love to see a race car like this:
  15. NNL East is sometime this month, isn't it?
  16. I have both of those; Harts Parts makes the Ventura trans kit, and IIRC the Impala 4dr ht was made by F&F Resin Casting and is long out of production (I got it at least 10 years ago).
  17. Probably 10 items previously reissued in the last 5-10 years. Zzzzzzz On the subject of upcoming releases, they've done something odd w/ their website--the new items scroller on Monday did show the '03 Jeep Rubicon and '08 Magnum which were previously announced for late April, but today I noticed those two are gone and it's all armor and aircraft except for a RoG M-B SL reissue. Strange.
  18. Sharp build of a neat little car.
  19. Looking good....looks like it would build up nicely w/ an SBC and a set of Rallys from the parts box...
  20. Sounds about right...IIRC, I found that kit at a Wal-Mart up in the mountains of Colorado while on a weekend trip to Aspen.
  21. Don't know, maybe it could be modified to fit.
  22. Without a '70s MPC Pinto being readily available, I'd say the reissue of the MPC '70s Mustang II Pro Stock from a few years ago ('Fire Fighter') would be the place to start, shortening the chassis...
  23. I'm going to adapt the windows from the donor kits.
  24. Haven't built the ones I have yet, but they are cleanly cast and fit together pretty well w/ the donor kits... I've got their '71 Challenger Pro Stock, '72 Demon Pro Stock, and '72 Cuda Pro Stock...
  25. Sharp build...I like the wheels, a big improvement over the kit wheels which seem undersized.
