I started one of these as soon as the flat nose kit came out. REALLY messed up the paint and put it in a box. CONGRATS on a great build! Lone the show and love movie TV cars! I did finish Walt's 300 and the 72 Thunderbird of Pete's.

Our new toy we picked up Sunday........
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Waiting on some parts and for a weekend my son can come over to help. So I am doing things I can do......and that are free!!!! Pulled the Recao seats out, cleaned, removed tracks, painted and oiled. Had to make the connector for the seat sliders as it was missing. Been told the seats are worth almost what we paid for the car. Driver seat had one hogs ring missing so I fixed that. Otherwise about perfect. Not bad for a 1979 seat!!! Thanks -
Fantastic product.......I buy when he's at shows....

I was there day one show one at Charlottetown mall theater. My brother and I went back the next day again. I built this not long after using only photos in movie program and small photo in Starlog mag. So it has some in-accuracy issues. But I still like it and it lives in my living room today! A balsa frame covered with Matt then sheet plastic and junk box parts.

NEW AMC Javelin ASA resin body available
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Right now Jimmy Flinstone has them. JoHan should be getting them too. Thx -
I mastered this body a few years ago for my Penngwen Hobbies. But things happened and it sat. I asked the guys at JoHan if they wanted to work on this with me. Jimmy Flintstone is casting it. I am doing a series of decals for it. The body is a 73/74 ASA short track type body. Thanks. Video from Mark Batson a great channel.

Would a Salvinos GN stocker chassis stand in for a vintage MPC?
Dave Van replied to Ragtop Man's topic in WIP: NASCAR
The AMT chassis, with mods, is a better pick. Use two AMT to splice and make the WB match the older car. I've done 3-4 this way. Correct for the era and you can use the GM or Ford front suspension if you know which the prototype used. Thx -
I know the original kit was alter a little for a reissue when Monogram was altering all the Tom Daniel kits. Circus Wagon = Hangman Dog Catcher = Sand Shark Trick T = Stinger ETC.......but I figured Atlantis would just reissue the Pinro in altered state like it did with Horn Toad/ Rattler. So are they retooling to the original kit??? That would be a good thing but I may have run a batch of the altered tool THEN retooled it. IMHO! Or is the tool is broken and not usable?? Thx

Look into the book '100 year marathon' to see what China's goals are world wide and to the USA. Something had to be done. Become informed about more than our plastic toys. PS I have worked with people in China. The PEOPLE are great.......government not so much. Thanks
