Side note: Hard to believe Charlotte still without a regular hobby shop. Back in the day I could spend a day off visiting the many shops from Monroe to Gastonia. Modelers Hobby, Science Hobby, Action/Whistle Stop and even our shop Deb's Model Car......how does a city that big with that much $$$$ not have a shop?

My understanding this is a modified tool with SOME new parts. I thought the body was 'corrected' along with new tool bumpers and grille. Maybe I'm mixed up.

That is about perfect!!!!! Now you need a race ready Trans Um Tirebird!

I can see that at the LA Car show around 1966.....great outside the box thinking.

I hit Revell up for the S&H Torino in 1984......it took a while but I got it!!!

Drop R2 a note saying so......it does make a difference!

ZZR is my grail. The kit is not that good, I have 3 junkers, and the real car was an oddity for sure. But I love the film for the campy 60's style that brings back growing up in SoCal...... My dream is to get a mint or new kit and build it with a full detail chassis and correct a few things.

Same here.......my go to was 'Flex-i-file' glue, paint or Tamiya masking tape. Always something. Last 2 visits I left with zero.

Back when I printed 40% off I'd print extra and hand them to anyone in the model isle.....99.999% of the people did not know about it. I hate the loss of the 40% as I will never get supplies at a deal.....but Hobby Lobby knows what they are doing......still making $$$

I understand the need for ads.........but agree the ads that are 2 or 3 screens tall seem out of place.....and they are often blank pages!

Very nice work!!! I bought one to build the car from 'Romancing the Stone' film!

I want 2-3 of these.......

No first hand info here.....but I worked for Gofer at one time. He was a big hobby distributor at one time and did private issue kit and I think he knew Pete at Atlantis....so makes sense he would have Atlantis runs some stuff. They may be over runs of items Atlantis is doing.

I have asked about both. Both were altered and would need retooling. I kinda doubt ewe will see them again.

The original Monogram tooling of the Vette was for a model of a car from a TV show. The TV did not have wipers so neither did the kit. The TV show was gone quick but not the kit!

Yes...funny stuff.

Move it to WV.....we had a HUGE car show last weekend with thousands attending over 2 days. Parts of it were indoors with more people than would attend a IPMS event. Sad the way things are going.

This is one of the few ERTL kits I never owned. It looks great and very 'ERTL' and that is a positive. Thanks for sharing Tim.

I have gone to Flex-i-file glue after Ambroid went out of biz.

WOW!!!

THX!!

How do we get the decals?? Nice work on Milner's rail

RIP Bobby......
