In a small town I lived in called Campus, Illinois, the Post Office was a window in back of the General Store. 200 people lived there.

I see what you did there, Tom.

Yes, congratulations. Hope you do well next year.

Kinda true. I like them. But for what they were trying to imitate (street rod), It could have had a bit more oomph under that hood.

I would give that kit a good home. I had one back when it was a new kit.

The Prowler would be the true loser. Underpowered V6, no usable space. And yet, the PT sold lots. I still see them all over the place and I only see Prowlers at the occasional car show. As owner of a PT Cruiser's brotha from anotha mutha, the HHR, I gotta give props to the PT. Perhaps they sealed the Prowler's tomb a bit better this time around.

80 MPH top speed....um....No!

Touching, but I did not know what point they were trying to make other than the guy's respect for the Jeep's former driver.

Fun fact...I used to own a 73 Eldorado convertible. Same underpinnings the Toro had except engine of course. You did NOT want to lose a power steering drive belt on these things. You will not be able to steer the beast whatsoever. Don't ask how I know that. LOL. The drive shafts were so stout that any attempt at trying to steer the unpowered beast would give your arms a serious work out.

Excellant work, Tulio. Sure would like to see you come up to the US with your models for an NNL (Milwaukee hint hint)

I see nothing wrong with the car. You did a great job building it. I love the tail lamp treatment.

Nicely done

Actually the Aussie two seater was based on Mazda mechanicals. The 323 was the basis for the car. True, the Escort was based on the 323 in those years and the Escort was known as Laser in Australia.

If there was an option to select only car subjects, it would make it much easier for us gear heads.

At Milwaukee NNL I bought 20 bux worth of raffle tix and wound up with AMT Double Dragster Kit in tin box. Revell Snapper lambo Diablo. (Lori commandeered that one.) Monogram 1993 TransAm. AMT Lil Red Truck Dodge. Lindberg 1953 Ford Pace car edition. Two Pinewood derby decal sets (meh) A Sharp pokey stabby thingy (X-acto)

Looks are subjective. I mean the truly ugly is ugly to everyone. I find the Rainbow intriguing, whereas I find the Countach to be squashed looking.

Also a convertible will be coming. Seen some built ups at NNL Milwaukee last night....and a convertible too. Saw a Fleetline with wood sides which should fit the coupe and later coming rag top.

I think he wants to know if the convertible top was in the kit or from another source. Plus if it could fit onto the AMT Chevelle kit. By the way, really nice model you made.

That is a very nice looking car, Mr Huang. You did an excellent job on it. Are model cars as a hobby very popular in your home country?

Gee Sven, that is a really nice car you made. i have this as a built up I did years ago. Not as nice...LOL . I have always wanted to address the chassis issue as that torque tube style of driveshaft was not used since 1966. It's right for the Marlin, but not for the later Rebels, Matadors and Ambos

Technically it is a cam in head, as it has rockers. Overhead cam engines usually do not have rocker arms. I know, it confuses me too.

I'm thinking the Revell engine is generic. Didn't they intend for it to go in the Visible Chassis? I don't know if they are the same scale, but that is what someone told me. I think the chassis was designed from Buick prints.

Can the AMT snapper body be used on the AMT glue kit?

The difference between the EidaiGrip kit and the AirFix is that the EidaiGrip kit had an actual Mabuchi can motor and chrome, the AirFix has neither. The saving grace of the AirFix is the body is molded in white.

Not a PT or HHR. It's a Dodge Magnum wagon.
