    I built that one as a kid...IIRC, it only had the stock wheelcovers. I don't have the later Presige or Millenium Series reissues, so I don't know about them.

    Nope..that's the AMT 1:16th scale kit.

    IIRC, the R-M C4s were all 1:24th scale tools.

    The ones I get from Japan come via a Fed Ex plane and get here in about 4 days door to door..can't beat that for delivery..

    After a haboob last night, it's kinda icky sticky hot and humid here in PHX..

    I'm not familiar w/ that Monogram '55 ht/conv kit...did that kit evolve into the 'Badman' drag car kit?
  7. Rob Hall
    It is odd..since other Chevy convertibles of that era have been kitted ('55, 59, 60, 61, etc). I like convertible kits, esp. since they show off the interior well in the finished kit..

    Sharp build... one thing I've always wondered about this kit--the box art shows a '73-75 style grille, but the one I have (and the red built up pictured here) has a '76-77 style grille. Did AMT change the grille during the kit run?

    Looks like the reissue in the vintage style box art is out now..(my favorite online vendor has it marked 'Just Arrived').

    I used to take Ambien but I've got stronger stuff now (Trazadone). Been dealing with insomnia for 20 years...

    Sweet Vettes.

    Beautiful pair of Ferraris. Love the color choices and detailing.
  13. Rob Hall
    I think that's a 40 standard grille. The AMT kit is a DeLuxe, different grille.

    hoods are different also, looks like...

    Looks much the same as past issues...I've built a few of these from the 'Countdown Series' issue onward. The boot is there from the original '60s tooling---AMT did convertible and 2+2 kits back in '65 and '66, the coupe body came later--based on the promo body, I assume. I like the vintage style box art.

    MPC's '65 Monaco ht and Custom 880 convertible were molded in a gold plastic...

    On this car, they are speedholes... make it go faster. Too old to be a lease, I would think..
  18. Rob Hall
    Front and rear fascia, grille, hood, roof paint, wheels,seats, maybe some engine details...

    Looks like the body was warped, w/ the windshield frame mashed down like that..

    It's hideous and tacky, but in it's own way no worse than a lot of the nonsense that's been done in the 1:1 Pro Street style cars...

    And funds...it appears Okey's operation was chronically undercapitalized..an effort like this requires a lot of capital.

    Since Ford is a sponsor of Block's endeavours, obviously they are going to use a race car based on a current Ford product. It wouldn't make any sense to use an old car.

    I have a bunch of unbuilt RoG, Tamiya and Fujimi Ferraris...want to build them eventually, and avoid red as much as possible.. I like the offbeat colors.
  24. Rob Hall
    It is..must have been a promotional photo for the song back in the day..

    It's interesting that after many decades Ts, As, and 32s remain popular for hot rodders. I assume the reason they were popular originally with rodders is they were at one time cheap and readily available compared to similar models from Chevy, Plymouth, etc?
