The Revell 63 snap kits (both roadster and coupe) are great curbside kits and should bash with the Revell 67 kits, which also are in both roadster and coupe bodys. The only external differance between the 63 and 64 are the grille, rocker moldings, wheel covers and the lack of the hood grids, which arn't molded in on the 63 snap kitanyway. Madelhous makes all of these parts. Are your modeling skills up to changing the side fender vents on the 65 and 66's on one of the other bodys? Modelhouse does the hoods, grilles and such. Add the photoetch parts and.......

Modelhaus resin will be your friend for the Sting Ray years unless you want to kitbash the Revell 67 into the other years. Revell did the 68 and 69 back in the early 90's, and AMT did the 70 about the same time. That would take you through the 72's without any problems.

Not hard at all but it won't be all shake the box projects. The mid 60's Sting Rays in 1/25 will have to be old OOP kits or resin, and the mid to late 70's will require some kitbashing. The 61 will have to be done from a 62 kit or resin, and I think all of the needed emblems can be found in MCG photoetch sets.

Its precentages, there are 10's of millions more Fords on the road.

Only if you are wearing shorts with dress socks and garders.

For me it was about 15 years ago, I was chatting up a cute young thing in a bar when she told me I was so cute and fun to be around, and that she wanted to introduce me to her mother.

Just googled "hyundai transmission problems" and got 5.380.000 results. Living with a car for 5 or so years is a bit differant than riding around the neighborhood in a new one.

Try Dupla-Color, Ford also called that color Rangoon Red, Carnival Red, Fiesta Red, and other names.

My 76 thousand mile Elantra is now a three cylinder, spark plugs didn't fix, coils are good, I never had these kinds of problems with a car untill well over 200 thousand miles. And the right rear door glass is inoperative, again.........

What contemporary hot rods had become is what started the rat rod / traditional rod re-birth, which is what the kids around here are into.

Sorry, the headlights, front end and chassis are far too much for me now that Revell has done the subject light years better.

Nope, it's all about what the owner / builder likes and wants, it dosen't matter if its been done before or not. We please ourselves, no one else's opinion matters.

It must be, and the decals !

It's not well known in the U.S., but not all beetles were created equal, We never got the 1302, and all 71 and newer U.S. spec beetles were 1600 cc. With Revell of Germany doing the tooling it would naturaly be a German spec car, and look like a 67 to us.

Early first gen Bronco, first gen IH Scout, first gen Dodge Power Wagon.

I built an orignal 62 Corvette in 62, with an opening trunk. I can't remember if it was an AMT or SMP.

Nothing a tube chassis and one piece tilt front wouldn't fix!

Very cool idea, Did you strech the body and frame to the right length? Olds Vista Crusers and Buick Sport Wagons had a longer body and wheelbase than other GM "A" body wagons, the added leingth is in the rear doors.

You bet your sweet bippy!

Nope! I'm with you.The 69 & 70 Mustangs, and the 64 1/2 to 66 Mustangs are overdue for modern re tools.

X2, and a good 56 Belair 2 door sedan.

The 50 grille I have is from an ebay buy, unknown caster. It was part of a resin 50 Chevy coupe kit that was flat unbuildeable but the grill looked to be salvageable. I don't want to let it go but it actualy looks like it would be simple to build.

I stand SO corrected, it WAS a 52 conversion I bought, OOPS!

You're ahead of me Nick, I've been hit with a bunch of overtime at work and my Ranchero is still MIB!
