Looks like you will have shorten the bumper sides too.

Is there a source for the Ford V6 as found in 80s Fox body cars? I'm doing my 83 Mercury Marquis Brougham station wagon build andf I need that particular engine. I've only ever seen the V8 or the inline 4 Turbo in Mustang kits.

Rear half of frame is sort of close as is the front suspension. The engine is very different. The grille slats need to be changed. Ford used the same Fergie system for the towing of implements. It's doable but a lot of work. The hood is a bit different as well.

That sure did come out good. The designer really knows his stuff.,

So cool.

Go for it.

Nice car. You should do a 3D version of yourself and put it in the car.

I owned a 73 Eldo ragtop when I lived in California.

Sounds great. Looking forward to it.

Y You might have to trime the chrome strip down the side a bit. Nice build though and very cool.

The aerosedan has the separate wood paneling. This will also fit on the coupe very well, so if you build a fastback without the wood grain, save it for the coupe

This is pretty good. love the color, and I am amazed that you are making your own dash panels to make a right hand steering set up. Good job. Just an aside, if you ever get your hands on a late 70s AMC Matador, they sold the real cars in Oz with right hand drive. Just a cool bizarrely designed car that I really like. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/cc-cohort/cohort-capsule-1976-rambler-matador-x-coupe-one-of-80-made-in-australia/

Too Many Projects? I know a 69 could be converted.

About the slats. Australians are known to put those in the rear window on the inside. Photos of these Aussie cars will reveal this to be so. Not sure, but maybe to keep bright sunlight from backing the inside of the car. Quite hot and sunny there.

Love this car, I'm currently working on a convertible version. It was a glue bomb also with all kinds of glue burns, broken windshield and someone tried to do the custom pick up version. I rebuilt the trunk area and pulled a windsheild from from a Johan Plymouth wagon.

I would suggest going through whoever you bought it from. I don't find a web site but they do have an official Ebay page. Perhaps going there and messaging them from there explaining your issue.

I know last year I mentioned that they only had a 3 speed if you wanted manual. I did dig deeper and found the AMA list for Buick. They had the three speed only as the manual. If you knew someone at Flint or really great friends with the dealer like my grandfather you could order almost anything. So it is possible that a Wildcat could exist out there with a factory four speed. My grandfather had a 69 Buick Skylark Custom that was ordered with all the GS bits underneath but no GS call outs or trim on the body. The dealer put an Olds 442 style fresh air intake mounted under the bumpers. This thing was a sleeper.

That is some nice stuff there. Glad you got them.

I have a test shot of a round window Taurus NASCAR racer. Accurate Miniatures was thinking about releasing this but never did. Could someone like Salvino's JR acquire the tooling for this model and add it to their line up? It would be a good addition to their inventory in my opinion. I'm not building it because decals would be difficult to locate for it. Moldings look very nice to my eye. Very detailed. Not selling this. I'm giving it to a friend who builds racing cars.

Nice.

Ollies will be opening stores in Fond Du lac Wisconsin and West Bend Wisconsin. The West Bend store will open on the 12th of February. I do not know when the FDL store is opening yet.

I do too. But I am an American living in Wisconsin (sorta Canada Lite) But I do have a thing for Canadian cars. So unique.

I like all three cars they are working on. The Chevy because I like station wagons, and also two of my fave MOPARS.

Interesting techniques in regard to a windex bottle spray.

STS decals could make a custom set for you. They did my chrome FARGO decals for my cab over Dodge truck conversion to my Canadian version. Excellent decals
