Great build so far......I have a few of those kits in the stash. My Dad was racing director for Valvoline 1960-70 in So Cal. Tommy was one of their first 'big' names to run the Valvoline logo. Parent company Ashland didn't see the benefit to race car sponsorship but Tommy changed Ashlands mind!!! Tommy gave me a factory built 4 engine kit when it first came out....Revell had given him a few of them. I was too young to realize what it was and it got destroyed. All I have today is the drag chute with a decal on it.....thought that was super high detail back in the day!!! I need to build one......

Grabbed a set last trip.....at 40 off a good deal.......need a few mods but that's easy!

Been watching this build.....fantastic work!!!!! I built a gas station dio about 1985 or so.......It was fun to watch as you built many of the same things I did.....different years and styles of stuff....but lots similar! Again great work!!! Fun stuff!!!!

I have two of those Hess vans.......I hope to convert them someday! I always wanted to replicate the orange 'Palm' scheme!

I love movie cars....built the 57 but there was no post car back in the day.....but mine was close!

WOW....all I cam say

The AMT kit CAN be built into a nice model. The T nose has to be glued on and then putty applied but the kit still fits well and has lots of options. The RM T is a decent kit....but in 1/24 scale HUGE on the shelf.....zero options....and the detail is not a GREAT improvment over the AMT. I've built a number of them.

Nice neat clean work....my fav.....

Don and Carol are true assets to the hobby. Met them in 1983, first time, and buying ever since. Top folks on every level......

Sean does a good job.....the Hudson Convt is nice too.....

I bought the kit.....like it.....don't really care what 'model' it is.....will make a neat modified build.

I've built a few FnF cars in scale.....I have a GTR for the blue car Paul had in one of the films......

Watched from day one........still a Mad Men fan....and Breaking Bad....but no it's done it's MM and WD....few other shows I watch every week. Season final was tough.....I liked the character that was killed off...... (not to spoil too much)

Used to watch every week.......after the episode where Stewie and Brian were locked in the vault......a REALLY bad episode....I kinda stopped. Early stuff was funny....no so any more. Seth has gone very dark.....and not a funny dark. I think the Brian thing is much like Louis' death.....not real.

I like your spin on the Stoogie!! I was so happy to get this kit back. I had a mint vintage kit but never had the guts to build it....plus I had too many ideas on how to build it. I bought a case....but only 1.5 built yet! I did mine in a Rat style. I changed a few things, like you did, but it keeps the original flavor. That's what is so kool about these kits....they are so open to mods!!

I did the contest thing big for many years. I traveled all over the East and then some to enter contests. When I got a 2nd place at the Hot Rod Nationals at Indy I figured I had done all I could do.....plus contest building had burned me out....I wanted to put the fun back in. Only NNL types shows now.

Agreed......the 55 was nice....but the design of the 1/1 and the way it has been captured in scale.......a much better looking car IMHO. I want to build a retro street machine....but have to finish a special build I need to do first.

Just because you can....and you have the cash.....doesn't mean you should.....

Nice and Neat....my fav!

Monogram is thr only ones I know of. They made some early 70's that were generic and later 80's era that were name drivers....the same time they did the 1/32 snap NASCAR kits IIRC.....all were 1/32 scale.

Very nice work!!!

Been asking for the VW bus series for a while......hope they happen!

Carb work is the hardest car part to get someone good to work on. I'm fair but my twenty-something son is better than I. We have done 100% of the work on our 66 Mustang rebuild.....

These early kits are production kits air freighted in. So the kits themselves are 'on the water' . When will they land at distributors depends on a few things Moebius has little control....but well before Christmas I'd hope.

The first photo is of the MPC 1/25 scale kit Californian custom based off a Toronado IIRC. I have the kit but not opened it in years.
