Plenty of unbuilts waiting, only planning on buying the Revell 57 Ford wagon and the 1910 model T turing car.

It's cold and windy outside.

I've built a lot of resin but I've never got into a huge amount of bodywork like this before. I have a R&R '50 Plymouth body that I want to build a model of the Ramchargers High and Mighty drag racer, and I've found the body is WAY wrong. It is going to need both widened and stretched and the belt raised before it gets chopped. Is epoxy my best bet? Any ideas or suggestions?

I can see severial coming my way.

Pretty much what I have in mind.

Theres your two choices, the AMT does have the 6 bbl. intake and carbs.

Junkman, Round 2 is reissuing everything they can, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I feel your pain.

Dito on the Monogram kit.

Every time this subject comes up I'm amazed how many people don't know the difference between a muscle car (factory built high performance car) and a street machine ( home built high performance car).

Very nice.

None of the 1:1 SS 396 SS's did after they were about 6 months old.

Back when I was a kid a friend of my fathers built a V8'Vair with a 427 in the back, I built a model of it the best I could at that time. And yes, I used the "Vair tranaxle. I'm going to try another one now.

Remember this, the model companys don't make one thing that anyone HAS to have, when they get so bad that no one wants them the market will be gone.

I bought a flat hood for my '71 pace car build from Time Machine Resin, I think he has the Twin Scoop hood too. Ops, mine are 1/25 for the AMT kit, I just read you want the 1/24 parts. Sorry.

It ain't snowi'n.

I'm 60 and I never liked cold weather.

Pretty much the way I see it, but both the convertable and 4 door hardtop bodies are available allready.

Looks downright nasty ugly to me.

There is NO time when snow is needed or wanted as far as I'm concerned.

It just might be worth it.

PE is great, but I can't afford to buy PE sets anymore and US kit manufactures aren't going to include it when printing emblems on the decal sheet works for most builders. I guess they could include them on the chrome tree like the Revell 69 Z/28 emblems. Those looked good.

That's why I don't expect Moebius to do an AWB kit. But these cars were factory efforts and used more stock parts than you would think. I built a resin 65 Dodge AWB, and the rest came from one Lindberg 64 Dodge kit. Although the chassis gets sliced and diced it is pure 65 Mopar.

Not from this kit.

So, who's going to be the first caster with a resin AWB racer?

Having several hundred unbuilt kits in my stash, if the entire model industry goes out of business tonight I'll never live long enough to build what I already have on hand. If a model company wants my ever harder to earn money the new kit better be a subject I'm interested in, and it better look like that subject. And it better have the scripts and emblems molded on it. Moebius is doing that, others aren't.
