Roger- I actually have one of those kits (Okey Spaulding era reissue) and it includes steps on converting the kit into a pickup AND four-door sedan. Not sure how I'm going to build mine just yet. Cranky- Taking a nasty, disgusting glue bomb and turning it into a thing of beauty? Way better feeling than starting with a fresh kit.

Then, he saw John Teresi's Cosma Ray Vette and broke his no-emoticon policy... FIVE TIMES!!!! But, I suppose he's earned it!

Yep the AMT reissue has all the MPC street rod parts, but they returned the seat upholstery engraving to stock. THe AMT kit has all the hot rod parts, but they arent' mentioned on the box.

Ditto- that's why I went with a Fotki page. Yeah, Photobucket is free, but you get what you pay for, right?

Ditto.

I've never built one out of box, but the '33 Panel is very nice. The majority of the parts are shared with the Cabriolet- the body, rear doors, windows, and floor are about the only major differences between the kits. I'd love to see Round 2 tool up a new Panel body for the Cabriolet kit... heck, throw in the original Gangbusters parts, too, if the demand is there!

The A-Team vans were reissued not too long back, and they're still pretty cheap. But yeah, you do have to look for deals on the van kits. (Great score on the Ford and Dodge by the way, Steve! Especially the Ford, that's a SCREAMING deal!) I paid 40 a few years back for an MPC 'Wanted Van' (similar to the Rescue 911 van but with the correct grille), and felt like I made off like a bandit on that one.

It MUST be good, it actually forced Danno to break his "No Emoticons Policy"... FIVE TIMES! Fantastic model, John. Kind of reminds me of that Moon Rocket T-Bird custom I saw in HRD a while back.

You know- like I said, if it were mine.

If I were building it, I think I'd nix the covered headlights and just black out the bezels, then maybe find some photoetch sheet with a 'honeycomb' pattern to use for the grille. However you end up doing it, it'll be cool in my book!

Awesome! And kudos for keeping the Nailhead.

I can always use spare Lincoln stuff!

Oh- the '98 Mercury I posted a while back is now dead- 13 years and 320,000 miles on the clock. I got my money's worth out of that one!

AMT '63 Impala is the same way. Personally though, I'd rather have the hood be a touch too small- paint tolernace is in check, and if it's TOO small, adding a bit of material to the edges isn't a big deal.

Twenty Two Years old Had a few too many Champaris one night and wrapped himself around a telephone pole

Loving that Comet- it's making me think of re-rebuilding the '62 Fairlane in my stash.

You are either talking about Thursday night at my Uncle Kevin's place, or the beginning of what looks like it will be a very off-the-wall, very cool Merc build!

I 'bumped' into him on Facebook a while back, he's a member of a couple of FB modeling groups.

Don't worry- I've got just such a creation in mind. Just want to get the more complicated build out of the way first!

Really cool- there are about two dozen jeeps just like this one around my area.

Shaping up very nicely.

Oh, I've got a Corvair-based truck or two in the works as well. Stay tuned...

Great job, Bernard, on the model, and getting every last ounce out of that double kit!

I'm thinking of getting some aluminum '99 Super Duty wheels, so I can use some Maisto wheels from the die cast kit on my proposed model!

Just took the wheel covers off my '94 F-250. Nobody makes the covers in 1:25, so maybe it will be easier to model!
