A bit clunky and heavy duty looking. That and the Wagon Rod front suspension looks a bit more like a modified GM IFS than an MII setup, at least if I recall.

Can I get a standing ovation for this man, please! Couldn't have said it better. I don't mind a pic or two being quoted if the person responding is pointing something out, but if it's an exact copy of the post with nothing more than "Kool model, bro!" at the end, that person is usually on my ignore list after a few more instances of same. Funny how they love 'quoting' pics over there, but post a thread that's almost kinda/sorta related to another one and watch the old timers throw a fit.

The Revell/Monogram '37 FORDS are 1:24, but depending on what particular 1:25 vehicle you use it on, the scale difference doesn't matter much.

Running or not, still pretty impressive.

Wait- what? A General Lee themed model Dan actually likes? Is that crackling sound I hear glaciers flowing over Hades?

Know what's really funny? I did a search for Doyusha Bluebirds, and in the images, most of what I saw on the first page was posted on this thread.

Sounds like a plan to me! Gotta ask- that wouldn't happen to be a set of Mopar cop wheels on it in the very first pic, would it?

Last I knew it was still in the AMT catalog- it's just molded in blue now.

You might have to wait, but Al is a good guy and he will NOT steer you wrong! If an issue arises, he'll let you know.He's an upfront, no bs, just the facts kind of guy. I can say first hand the quaility of his product speaks for itself, you won't be disappointed at all in that respect.

What Dave said. In additon, I think the AMT '55/57 Chevy Pickup street machines had a similar intake, caveat being I'm trusting my own memory here, and it could be a later-style dual plane intake on those.

That's the beauty AND the beast of a free market... whatever particular item you have is worth whatever someone will pay you for it.

The turbines look pretty good on it, but I'd go with the Watanabe wheels just for the kink factor (given the paint/graphics scheme in this case).

Somehow an orange Bluebird doesn't sit well, but it works just fine for me. I've really been wanting to locate one of these- I'm assuming its a 1:24 curbside style kit, right?

By the way- that engine looks INCREDIBLE!

MCM 162 shows how they're routed- they had kind of a weird setup for the heater hoses.

Cut down a '51 Chevy grille to use, now just need to dig up some bumpers.

If I recall, the '62 Ford Fairlane annual had one.

Ditto- which is exactly why I like it!

Did some mockup work on it-

If you look at the most recent reissue, you'll see it still has the 7" LCD TV monitors from the Rides issue in the backs of the bucket seats, and that four-gauge panel on the dash was another LCD screen in that issue. If you get the Rides issue, in addition to the pro street chassis you get a stand-alone LCD display, a laptop computer, a PS2 and a controller for it. I routinely hoard those PS2 controlers as there was an air-suspension controler with the same shape.

Didn't even know there was resin of this Suburban body style. My eye keeps getting drawn to that bright green '59/60 (?) Chevy wagon.

Very cool kit- looks like a perfect candidate for a resto, from both the subject matter and the condition of the built up.

DeSoto grille in the stock surround seems a popular setup on these.

Great save! I did kinda like how it looked in orange, though.

The store or the message board? Never bought anything from them, but I have been on their board quite a bit. Pretty good place to be, if the old-school format doesn't give you headaches.
