  1. LOL...Nice..!!! I have been planing on making one from brass rod for some time. It also would help me make trim around the windows on my station wagon conversions...not to mention trim that is too light or missing on kits.
  2. Very nice save...!!! I need a couple of those early grilles for some restorations I have.
  3. I feel your pain Snake.... I have many that Id rather have an realistic looking up top on I think it makes them look classy but finding them...??? 63,64,68,70 Bonnevilles 70 GTO/Lemans 64 Cutlass 68,70 Impalas 61 Buick Invicta 63 Electra 68 Cadillac coupe deville 67/68 Ambassador 68/69 Roadrunner 68/69 Coronet 63 Falcon 63,64,67 Galaxies etc.
  4. Nice find...!!! I built that as a kid...good kit but some fit issues with parts...still a good kit and good memories.
  5. That is cool Scott.... I lost many from my childhood and some of my dads in the 2011 tornado here sadly...some had a huge sentimental value to me sadly. Memories of building with my dad feel gone since they were lost. been on a quest ever since to see if I can replace any of them.
  6. Chris....Its always good when you can get a hold of one from ones childhood days again or something that has a special meaning to you...that seems to be the hardest thing to do...cool find on the Chrysler.
  7. Very very nice...!!!! I love it been wanting to do one like that for years now myself.
  8. Welcome back Tony....!
  9. Very nice...!!! I use to have that one its a good kit like most Johans were. I have a few Johans on my grail list myself.
  10. Very nice...!!! Lots of good stuff in there.
  11. Man do I remember those...they were cool.
  12. Very nice Chuck..! I could use a couple of those grilles myself for some family owned replica projects.
  13. SWEET...!!! I need a few of them for family owned replica builds..and the older style grilles. Be nice to get a few more family owned replicas in my collection of them.
  14. What is the 78 Dodge pickup release date..???
  15. I wish that Dodge pickup had the older grille treatment...but it will be on my must have anyway...been needing a few to make family owned replicas with.
  16. I too was hoping the Astro would have the optional Turbine engine...like you I already have one without it.
  17. I need a MPC Dodge van that body style...71 to 76? to make a replica of one I once owned. It was a factory custom..thinking a Goodtimes Conversion if I remember right. Mine was a 75 but any the right body style would work I think. back when I was a kid I tried to get my hands on any of the MPC Dodge van kits I could they were great kits with lots of building version options.
  18. As many of you already know I love promos just as much as the kits...in some cases the promos offer a version or vehicle you cant get in a kit as well. In many cases kit or promo parts will interchange for the most part with each other. In many cases I actually prefer a promo over the kit just depends on what its of or availability. I love restoring both..its rewarding and helps me pass the time.
  19. Very nice..!!! I have been wanting to build the same thing for awhile now.
  20. Those are cool Pat and the figure looks very nice...!
  21. Casey...So true. I had no idea they were reissuing the Dodge LWB pickup kit....I hope its a 3 in 1 like the originals were and a backdated grille. My family owned many of these trucks and i have been on a quest to build family owned replicas for some time now. I got their Gremlin kit hoping to find the needed parts to make it thew earlier small bumper car like my late uncle drove. A friend of mine owns a Gremlin with a beefed up 401ci engine in it...stands up pretty easily.
  22. No doubt. I have the original 65 Olds too from my dads old collection...it needs a lot as well before I can restore her....tornadoes are not nice on plastics. Needs...body,hood,glass,taillights,wheel covers...bumpers got lost to it as well sadly.
