Yes, you could probably take the stock Belvedere kit w/ some drag parts from the CMG Dodge kit and aftermarket decals..

Nice....didn't the ads for that show originally have a Chevelle?

Got mine a week or so back, arrived in fine shape.

Good stuff..I've bought a few of his bodies and parts, no complaints.

Well, Lindberg announced it first in 2009 as a 2010 release IIRC...and it didn't come out last year or this year, don't think it was shown at the recent iHobby expo, and no announcement about it since then, so people assume it's not going to happen. Lindberg seems to have stopped new development a while back. Just speculation on my part, maybe one of the insiders here can weigh in.

For more expensive diecast, I have a number of large scale Exoto F1 cars and a dozen or so of Danbury Mint 1:24th diecast...agreed what others have pointed out about the fit and finish and quality of the plastic parts...great stuff.

Sounds like they are out now..people have found them at various hobby shops around the US. Will to check my LHS and see if they have it.

I like both the Charger and Superbird..both look factory.

From eBay an AMT '60s 2 kit set of a Porsche 904 and Ferrari P4...it's a Heller tool originally I understand..unbuilt, and really cool..love the subject matter and box art.

Kitbash it with another airplane like a F16 or something.. When I've been bored w/ a build, I just put it back in the to-do closet to pick up again later. I have some kits I started 20+ years ago that I have yet to finish.

Don't know that for sure, but the buzz I've seen about it here and elsewhere is that it's not 1:24th regardless of what the box says...

I wouldn't mind having one, but correctly scaled to 1:24th to go w/ the bus.

Spent my teenage years living in Marathon, in the Middle Keys. Beautiful down there. Thinking about going down to the Keys for a vacation in '12...

AMT is reissuing the Econoline next year also (Vantom). I just assume they weren't connected...just for show like the side pipes on '50s customs often were.

I saw a really cool phantom Charger Daytona convertible in one of the Mopar mags recently...plan to do one like that in 1:25th eventually. I have a couple other phantom Charger convertible kit builds I've started using the Revell '69s...one was a kit that I bought new but had a crushed roof, so I'd like to do it similar to a show car that Chrysler had back then--a low-windshield 2 seat Charger roadster..the other is a conventional convertible using the boot from a Coronet.

We didn't feel like cooking for xmas so went to a delicious Christmas brunch at a restaurant at a local mountain top resort. Didn't really get anything modeling related for xmas- some shirts, Macys and Amazon gift cards, some Blu Ray movies. I have a couple gifts to myself I'm waiting on from eBay, incl. one vintage model. Today just hung out watching a Top Gear marathon on TV..

When I was in Paris, I was enjoying the food and culture (museums, etc) too much to look for hobby shops...

For 50 yr old tooling, it does hold up pretty well. I don't do customs, so the custom parts will go in the parts box.

No..the black and gold was a special edition or something. They came in wide variety of colors IIRC.

Is this the kit that there was some issue with the scale, that it was more like 1:22nd? Or was that the Aoshima one..

I use Fotki. Some people probably use Photobucket, Smugmug, Flickr or others...

I think that was the season I quit watching...I was 12, was getting too old for it.

I can see getting 2-3...one stock in a period color scheme, 1 drag, and maybe 1 to kitbash w/ the resin '71. For something more out there, a 6 wheel stretched nose version w/ the Allison engine like the Hot Wheels 'Open Fire' car would be cool.

Hopefully the stock parts are there..perfect to build a worn work van or serial killer-type van (that's what these blind box style vans make me think of).

Sharp...I have the Tamiya kit unbuilt. Picked up a 1991 issue AMT 935, kind of simplified, but not bad..don't recall the AMT kit..maybe it was of ESCI or Airfix origin?
