Totally awe struck with this build. I've been watching a couple of threads on Britmodeller for builds of this car too.

I'm looking forward to this bunch of models. I've been wanting the 914 even with all it's worts and the hotrod sounds like a fun kit.

Ask yourself this....Does it flow. I mean does the design really look like it fits. Other than that, I say if you think you need to add one more small thing...STOP!!!!

What? I'm not supposed to paint the inside of the engines?

I hear the Porsche 914 is coming out too from Revell

I was awestruck by the quality of the work. I expected some hackneyed body banging, but not so. It was amazing. I was also struck by the beauty of the New Zealand landscape.

The correct term would be hydrocephalus.

He said "even if I DIDN'T Build". not I DON'T.

Interesting find.

Just got the Testor's / Bburago Jaguar metal kit. Kinda lumpy but it was free. Owner of the hobby shop put it on the table where we were hanging out doing builds and said who ever wants it can have it. It was already started with the body primed in grey. No one wanted it so like the sad ugly puppy at the pound, I felt bad for it and took it home.

Just the stuff that is seen. I like to put the date of the build and my name under the interior bucket or elsewhere. I can imagine thirty years from now when someone buys one of my old builds at a swap meet, they wonder who I was.

In regards to Tandy, Radio Shack has declared bankruptcy and will sell off 2400 of it's stores. I knew that when they became glorified phone sellers, the end would be near. Tandy also had a leather store and I believe the Heathkit electronic kits were sold through them.

Or maybe the Fieros are just squashed Lotus Esprits.

Nice art Jairus.

That looks pretty cool.

Change the grille work, engine, and front wheels and you have a Ford 9N. Might be some smaller bits that would need to be changed. You need to get them together and do some photos of the differences.

I am surprised that there is no fitted luggage. I think the AMT kit supplied those. Either way, I will be buying one of these.

Since the Challenger is meant to evoke a 60s or 70s muscle car feel, Torqs are the perfect wheel for it. The Volk wheel longbox put up would look good as well.

Wouldn't mind that Hussein Dodge. I know AMT had one as well in a curbside kit.

No it is not, that is the most misshapen monstrosity I have ever seen.

Where do those come from? I know the kit tires will slowly flatten I hear.

I'd rather have the Aston. Understated bad assery, just like Bond himself. A Saville Row suit hiding kevlar body armor.

Pure basic unadulterated hot rod.

Awesome build, Yuri. I lived not too far from where they built those cars. They were made in a small city called Kenosha. Contrary to what others have said, I thought the Matadors were the best looking cars of that era. I had a four door version which had a completely different kind of body. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/1975_AMC_Matador_sedan_blue.JPG/220px-1975_AMC_Matador_sedan_blue.JPG

Very nice. Reminds me of a small town where kids in the Mennonite community would cruise the main drag in their family car. They bought the most austere version because they shunned chrome. Some even painted the bumpers black, hence the term Black Bumper Mennonites. Locals called this spectacle the Amish 500.
