  1. Oh- the 'Rides Magazine' reissue of the '66 Nova has the Pro Street chassis as well, but you are on your own as far as tires go. The Resto Mods version had the stock style chassis, interior, engine bay, etc.
  2. Now, if only they would reissue the '67 Chevelle Pro Street kit!
  3. Yeah- same here. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one!
  4. Not planning an exact duplicate, but something along these lines.
  5. Sweet!
  6. I knew it was going to be good- three Hudson Hornets, a '55 and '56 Packard, and a Jag Xj220 on the cover- three of my favorite cars of all time. On top of that- a '78 Ford LTD in Resin Talk AND a pricey (but oh-so-cool) '73 LTD model in Collector's Showcase. And after looking at page 32, I dug out a long-lost Sidewinder kit. Those were the highlights for me anyway.
  7. Love seeing this one on the bench, it's making me want to dig out my stalled Datsun variant!
  8. You can also delete your own topics- I do that when I find something I need in the Wanted section. Unless there's some useful information in the posts, then I just lock it so that info is still out there for people to read.
  9. Yeah- found that out the fun way- yanked the radiator off the chassis during a test fit. Between the tight fit of the radiator/core support and the rear mounting surface, you can almost get away with using no glue to attach the completed chassis/interior assembly into the body.
  10. What Nick said. When Rob gets his question answered, he locks the topic so it doesn't go on and on forever.
  11. Well, Fiat is already selling a rebadged Dodge Journey in Europe, so I suppose anything is possible.
  12. I passed on a 1:1 Bill Blass MkVII shortly after I sold my Turbo Coupe. I remember it had a hideous canvas faux convertible roof, and it was a little old lady car with suspiciously low miles... as in, the miles were so low I was suspicious of the engine being full of sludge due to never being driven.
  13. I think the '53 Panel came with a 409, but I'm not sure. If I recall, the '39 Chevy sedan and sedan delivery came with pretty nice 427 BBCs with headers, scattersheilds, and a tunnel ram intake.
  14. Just wondering. One appears to be a '67/8 Mustang sheet, the other is for an SC/Rambler.
  15. In a handful of cases, yes. For instance, when I first saw the Revell '69 COPO Nova, I knew I had to build one as a base-model beater car. But for the most part, if the subject matter strikes my fancy, and/or it's just a kit I'm familiar with and like, I'll buy it and worry about what to do with it later.
  16. For a roll cage I wouldn't use styrene tubing- I'd go with solid rod. Aluminum or brass tubing would be workable, but if you're going with plastic (which would be the way to go if this is your first major project of this kind), solid styrene rod would be easier to work with than tubing.
  17. The only bad part about that site is, after looking at some of the other threads, now I wanna build a MKVII Bill Blass edtion and a convertible!
  18. When the time comes to assemble the chassis into the body- (actually well before that) I'd suggest sanding the sides of the radiator just a little bit, as it is a very tight fit into the core support!
  19. KILLER! To anyone working on a Mark VII (where you pretty much have to conjure up your own engine bay anyway), T-Bird, Coug, or other 'big' Fox body, I hit the motherload for underhood reference pics! Here ya go- http://thelincolnmarkviiclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=3752
  20. It's already having a bad influence on me.
  21. Engine bay is mostly there, at least roughed in. Those empty areas in front of each inner fender may be filled with twin turbos eventually.
  22. Only if the large key on the back is wound tightly before use.
  23. Oh, forgot this one... Jo Han '61 F-85 4-door wagon converted to a sedan delivery and, you guessed it, plopped down upon a '66 Pro Street Nova frame.
