Kind of cool for what it is, but way, way, WAAAAAAAAAAAAY to wedge shaped.

The SC/Rambler or Javelin kits might supply a V8- from what I understand the Jo-Han AMC V8s were all first-generation later half-heartedly 'dolled up' to resemble the second-gen AMC V8s. That and you'd have to fill in the gigantic axle hole. I do hope MK/IMC nixes the green 'bottle glass' for this one.

It's LISTED as 1:25, not sure what scale it 'really' is if it deviates at all.

That '60 Lincoln has a separate upper windshield frame (a posts and header) does it not?

Even when that 'perfect' kit everybody says is possible nowadays comes out, there will be people who don't like it or over analize it. Some people just aren't happy unless they are unhappy. On THIS board, though, I'm pleased to see nothing but constructive criticism on the kit, and more importantly, Dave Metzner taking an active role in producing and improving kits. If you don't like the Hornet, don't worry- Moebius is listening. More importantly, they are ACTING upon the input they are getting from modelers. It can only get better from here.

THe last reissue of this had a few tips and pointers to convert it to a pickup, but no actual parts were supplied. Basically you just got a few guidelines on where to cut the roof- the rest was all up to you. Along with this, there were some breif steps on turning it into a 4-door sedan printed on the box sides.

Don't know if this quailfies, but I've MacGyver'd up a few paint/detailing/drying stands for parts using nothing more than a toothpick and a paint can lid-

That is cool! Almost looks like a painting in the pics.

Don't worry- the rashes and lesions should appear within the next 48 hours, and the all-over itchy/burny senation should kick in any minute...

The door length shouldn't matter- it would just be a simple matter of rescribing a new door line in the coupe kit to use on the convert. I'm about 99% confident that piece will fit the convertible body, if the body is the same length (as far as I know, the 1:1 bodies share similar dimensions), and Revell got the shapes and contours close on the two bodies.

They might look a bit thick because they are all chrome- on the 1:1 the inside part of the grille appears to be painted gray or dark silver.

Hopefully this weekend I'll have some 'test results' to reveal.

I've got all the intense you'll ever need right here-

No thanks.... I was up all night LAST night with a Hudson kit (jeez... that doesn't sound right does it... ), I've been awake about two hours now and I'm still dragging. The sidewinder sleeps tonight....

As soon as I get a specific plan in mind, you'll see some pics. So far... I got nothin'.

Don't worry Cranky, I'll be churning out a Hudson or two within the next few weeks.

1. Still haven't used my SA decals. (Hope that changes soon...) 2. Love the model. 3. WHERE DID THEY GET AN INTERNATIONAL PANEL TRUCK!!!!!

Somewhere, there's a 'Full Classic' car nut screaming like a little girl! Love it.

All I'm going to say is I like how this one came out. The kit may be far from great, but in the right hands it can be built into a pretty good looking model.

Is this the same kit as the chopped verson reissued a couple years back? (Minus the chopped coupe body, of course.)

I did not see it on the website, though the new coupe and the reissued '48 Woody are listed.

Not a huge Chevelle fan myself, but even I can see they'll fill a void for sure. Seems like everybody wants all-new offerings, but there's quite a bit of stuff that's needed to change and improve existing kits. Replacement hoods are right up that alley.

A zany little hot rod... WITH A FARMALL 300 grille! Love it.

A couple of young tourists are pulled over by a highway patrolman. The officer walks up, asks for the driver's license and registration, and when he doesn't get it quickly enough, whacks the driver in the head. "That's for not having your driver's license ready," he snaps. "I ain't got all day." After he issues the driver a ticket, the patrolman walks around to the other side of the car and whacks the passenger in the head. "Owwww!" hollers the passenger. "What'd you do that for?" "That's to make your dream come true," replied the cop. "I know that when you'd gotten a half-mile down the road, you were gonna say to your friend here, 'Wish he'd tried that with me!'" **** A banker is proudly driving his brand-new Jaguar sedan around New York City. On reaching his destination, he parks the car at the curb and gets out on the traffic side. Just as he opens the door, a taxicab slams into it, ripping the door right off its hinges. The cabby drives off as if nothing extraordinary has occurred. A policeman who witnesses the whole thing walks up to the banker, who is now wailing loudly, "Ohhh myyy gaaawdd! Look what that idiot did to my new Jaaaaggguuuaar! The cop looks at the banker, shakes his head, and says, "You bankers are so materialistic! Here you are whining about your expensive car, and you don't even realize the cab tore off your arm!" The banker looks down at where his arm used to be and begins to wail loudly, "Ohhhh myyy gaawd, my Rolllllleeeexxx is gone!" **** Someone at the auto repair shop locked the owner's keys inside his car. While the locksmith was working on the driver's-side door lock, the anxious owner walked up and tried the passenger's-side door. It opened. The locksmith looked up. "Yeah, I already got that one." ****
