I got this about three months ago to haul my model cars in. Almost the same color as that Porsche a few posts back, AND it's a two seater like a Vette. LOL. I also got a 1/20th scale S10 and a Chrysler 300 kit and a T bucket kit for the missus.

I don't think most of the posters were intentionally driving dangerous wrecks. It is what they could afford at the time. I drive a new 2010 truck now, but back in the day, my first cars were suspect! 64 Buick LeSabre 4 dr sedan...50 dollar car, no floor boards and lost the seat attachments over the Marquette Hi Rise in Milwaukee. Cop said I showered sparks like the 4th of July. 64 Buick LeSabre 4 dr hard top...another 50 dollar car, broken motor mount, and I drove it all the way from Wisconsin to California. 66 Ford LTD 4 dr hard top...bad brakes, so rusted that when my sister's husband helped me push the car out of the way with his truck, the whole body broke off from the frame. 78 AMC Concord 2 dr coupe...The Widow maker...the only car I was actually afraid to drive. Anything over 30 mph would cause it to go sideways on wet pavement. Forget about winter conditions. Body shop could not find any trouble with the unit body, no bent pieces, no loose or mis-aligned suspension, but it just would not drive nice...haunted maybe? Should I call Art Bell? It's nice to have safe cars and today, kids have almost new vehicles to drive cuz mom and dad buy a safe car for them...but where is the memories from a Corolla or mini-van.

Have her contact Jimmy Flinstone or Don Holthaus for casting when she's ready to do that. Nice guys.

All ya gotta do is ask. 99.99999% of the people here are willing to help with any trouble you might have, model wise.

That would be $40 in Aussie money. Considerably cheaper in the USA

Nice chart...very helpful indeed.

Because radio delete deletes radio, not antenna?

Would it be easy to build a 55 into a 56 Chrysler. A friend of mine owns this one. http://www.amcarguide.com/custom/custom-1956-chrysler-300b/

You could use Monogram's Miller Mustang or Folgers Mustang for engine detail and chassis. They were very similar cars underneath.

Proof positive that you do not need a 300 piece kit to make a nice model. Very well done. Now I want to take the kit I have and build it along with the Chaparral from Monogram.

150? Yer whole life? That musta been a record breaking birth! BTW, from 476, I'm down to 391!!

It is! Looking for a fall release date.

I love this kit. My Aero is in mid build and I used styrene strips to replicate the trim. Frame is painted and detailed engine installed. Haven't decided what color it will be. I saw these at our LHSs (both) and are priced under thirty. I'm thinking about buying the sedan delivery too. As I said in a different thread, a new version of this car will be out in the fall as a five window coupe. I got that from a very reliable source while at a Buick car show/Lionel train exhibit Sunday.

I have it from a reliable source that Galaxy will do a 1946 Chevrolet five window coupe. Although the box will say 1946, you will be able to do the 46, 47 or 48 years.

I had a CB back when you had to get an actual license, which was free from the FCC. You had to give your call sign every so often (KBBA 3477). My handle was Milwaukee Kid when I lived in California (I'm from Milwaukee) When I moved back to Wisconsin, I became California Kid.

I was at Autozone looking for paint and noticed the small amount of what they had and the counter monkey told me that AZ was switching over to Rust-Oleum because corporate was having complaints about the nozzles not working in the brand of paint they had (Plasti-cote). Rust-Oleum has only limited basic colors and is useless for duplicating actual car colors. They never figured out that people just don't properly care for the nozzles and never clean them after use.

I got a 41 Plymouth (Coke version) and a prepainted AMT Edsel.

Isn't a lanai just a fancy word for "porch"?

I saw something new, but I am sure you guys have seen it. I found clear Elmer's glue at Micheals while looking for spray adhesive. I am trying it out on some clear window pieces on a model. Regular Elmer's just doesn't get clear enough for me.

Eric, you should be banned for posting those...uh...zaftig beauties. One thing I see here is every HHR has Buick portholes on them. I promise never, ever, never to put them on my HHR panel.

Another thing to note. These owners cannot sell to others. Those cars are kept in the same family since new.

Now with all that said, what would be the likelihood of inquiring of Tonka whether those tools are still extant. Perhaps this would be a good thing for Model King to inquire into. I would certainly like to build those models. I know this is not a real popular style of kit, but I would like one.

...and Spuds was bringing the beer.

68 GTO wagon? Never even heard of that one. Info please.

Have you done this conversion, SpaceCowboy?
