I bought a 50 grille and bumpers from Star Models, I dont know who cast it or if they still sell it.

I be a buyer this spring (after the winter heat bills).

Nope, Chris lives in Cinci, and Fiberglass Freaks rebuilt the wreck in Logansport In. Chris started building that replica at home, and decided to have someone experanced finish it the first time so he shiped it to LA.

That replica is in Cincinnati ohio, and built on a mid 70's Pontiac wagon chassis.

There should be a big club near there judging by the size of the Toledo NNL. 50 miles west, you can't be far from the Indiana line, and severial forum members are from around Fort Wayne. You might try the Indiana thread.

A lot of box art was really cool, but it really boiled down to subject.

Lindberg's 64 Dodge 330 Super SPORT? Super STOCK is more like it.

Noted.

They can't even make the 1:1 sliders work correctly !

A fiberglass replica, with no provenance , sold at a Florida auction (R&M) for $214.000 in 2008.

Years ago in SAE someone had built a 61 Plymouth as a 4 door taxi, and the editor noted that all 4 doors opened and closed, perfectly.

Check out this replica built about 5 years ago. Also note the third from last name of the builders at the end.

Nice find!

There's A LOT more to it than cutting the roof off if you want accuracy.

There are four builders of 66 Batmobile replicas, (one is officialy licensed by DC comics), one of which has built over 30 cars himself, another has built almost 20. add 6 or 7 people selling kits for homebuilders, and over 100 replicas is quite posible. Barris still owns a fiberglass replica, I think it is the one that was used in the Back to the Batcave movie a few years ago. Barris has been traveling with this replica for years as the orignial was far too valuable to move around the country in a trailer. But in best Barris tradition it is "the orignal" Batmobile when shown.

All I could find quickly on the Munster Koach is that Barris sold it at auction in 1982, and had a reproduction built in 84. So if you've seen Barris with the "orignal" Munster Koach tn the last 28 years I've got so bad news for you...........

Update, it WAS hanging from the celling of the PLANET HOLLYWOOD at Alantic City, which is now closed. It was restored in 2011 and is now at Volo.

Got mine yesterday, in perfict shape, at my local hobby store.

Yes, Barris bought the rusted run down Futura for $!, it had been setting unused in his back lot for years. I don't know about the real Munster Coach, but the real Dragula is hanging from the celing of the Hard Rock Cafe on the east coast. (New jersey ? Atlantic City?) And as the Futura this car would have never sold for any where near four million dollars.

I have been suprised buy how little has been said about this kit. My guess is everyone who wanted one has allready built one with aftermarket decals over the last 25 years.

Not bad for a car in dire need of a complete rebuild.

There are three, the AMT 1/25 which might be the MPC one, the Revell snap kit in 1/25, and the Monogram 1/24 kit which might also be boxed by Revell. The Revell snap kit has the best body , but all three build up OK.

What good is a model collection thats been footie stomped or a pickup thats been burnt to a chrisp?

Just give me one and I'll kitbash the ones I want.

So true! And it's all about taking something that you value away from you. Best revenge involves hooking up with her best friend,
