I know a couple of Coca-Cola fanatics who have all of the old AMT Coke kits, as well as the new Lindberg releases. Are they ever going to build them? Nope. But there's a huge market for Coke collectibles, and these kits fall into that realm.

Like it! Glad you chose not to incorporate the side pipes.

I know the Double Dragster tin has tinted glass and printed whitewalls and new tool, pad-printed slicks, but the standard, cardboard-box version does not. Personally, paying extra just for a collectible tin box isn't worth it, but if it includes a few extra bells and whistles, I'll be more inclined to pick a couple up, like I did with the tin Double Dragster release!

Tasty! I've said it a thousand times, gotta have this kit!

Yeah, the kits themselves were usually far from great, but the subject matter was terrific. A shame there will likely never be another significant Jo-Han 'comeback tour'.

Well, one thing I can't say is 'clean build'. Love it though!

Okay, now I see it. Yep, just took me back to this thread.

Neither do I- all I can see is the 'Follow This Topic' button in the upper left corner.

And as an aside- "First Hudson stock car will be a Model King exclusive 1952 Tim Flock Hornet. Hoping for late September, may be early October though." Close enough to taste it!!!!!

Not completely on topic, but since they're bringing back a number of the IH truck/tractor kits, why not the Scout SSII and Off Road versions. I think it's about time!

Those headers are from a Revell Beatnik Bandit.

The Model King/AMT '70 Wildcat has similar wheels, not sure if they are the Buick-specific style or the Magnum 500s, but if I recall, they're a bit smallish on the diameter.

Indeed, though there was quite a bit of hand-fabbed stuff on it, no doubt! The roof was actually made from Ford station wagon pieces (the front 'hatch is a '63/4 Ford wagon liftgate), and the exhaust outlets on the sides are '65/6 Mustang taillamp bezels. There's actually a guy doing a recreation of the Deora (he might even have it done now, I heard of this a few years back), and he's doing it exactly the way the A-Bros did it-

I NEED one of these! Or at least that engine!!!!

Batty... The Deora did actually start out as an A-100, though, and the A-Bros made it look pretty with a ton of Ford parts. Other than the fact the engine is missing an air cleaner, it is a very complete and nicely detailed piece for its era.

A day late, but I was wrapped up in a couple of projects yesterday! This is a '61/'63 Rambler American, the AMT 'Rambler' slammer kit on an AMT '66 Nova Pro Street chassis. Or how about a 1910 Studebaker Hot Rod? It's the old 1:32 Minicraft kit with a chopped top, scatchbuilt frame, and a few choice bits from a Revell Edelbrock Midget. And what I hope will eventually be a 'pro-street' style Revell Gran Turismo. Yes, those are the wheels and tires from the Ramblur. And of course I'm still plugging along on the Buick.

I passed on this kit when it was on clearnace at Wal Mart, because it looked like it would be too much of a pain to convert back to stock, or close enough to stock to be a drag car. Looking at that chassis, kinda glad I turned it down!

Uhhhhhhhh.... I don't see no stinkin' zoom button.

I've never even seen the Bud kit... now I MUST have one!

And getting rid of the stock windshield fixes one of this kit's main issues- the fact that the glass DOES NOT fit in the frame very well at all!

I'd like to see them do a set of stock tires as well, like the old Satco Redlines, Gold lines, and wide whites. One of the many reasons I'm hoping Round 2 sells a TON of these!

Beautiful buildup of a beautiful car. Yep, and this is one of their best kits.

Love the inner doors!

Love it! Must ask- where did those wheels come from?

Can you hear me now?
