Good choices and stories gents....keep posting them...someone might just have one of them and be willing to let it go...if not its good just to see or hear and remember them.

YES...! Ours was blue like Petty blue...love to build a replica of it someday.

Nice Ron.... I have the convertible promo but its warped horribly...other wise mint...bummer.

I loved the Touch Tone Terror kit as a kid....love to find all the phone company stuff and good decals for one.

Michael... You wouldn't be a laughing stock with any build...its all up to the builder to build anything the way they want to..it only has to make the builder happy in the end. You could find a funny car chassis to use on it...it would save you a lot of scratch building and make the build a bit easier for you to do..? Id say dare to be different...you might be surprised at what you can make.

Welcome..! Nice builds they look great...

WOW...That is cool and nice...

Hi everyone... I was wondering what kits,etc. did you have once you wish you could get a hold of again...? It can be kits,promos,toys,etc...Whats yours..? Mine are these...

Normatt Winnebago motor home promo toy kit. Johan 66 Chrysler 300. Johan snap kits..AMX/Javelin,Stude,Torino,Rambler taxi. AMT 70 Ford LTD 4door HT promo kit. MPC 66-70 Bonneville HTs. AMT 71/72 Pontiac Sprint II. MPC 70s Grand Prix custom kit called(Super Fly). Barris custom Dodge van called(Super Van). IMC (Touch Tone Terror). AMT Kenworth Challenge mixer kit. MPC 71-75 Dodge 2wd long bed pickup kits. and some of the old promos I use to have. If for nothing else its nice to think and remember these old ones we once had.

Nice...very nice...

Hi Mac..! Welcome..! You need to check out where i am from...whats the chances..?...maybe they named my town after you..LOL... Were glad to have you with us. I build/restore very very late 50s through 70s body styles...kits,buildups,promos,etc.

60 to 70 Station wagons. 60s Chevy and Ford vans. camping trailers and overhead campers for pickups like the one from the AMT 63 Ford pickup kit. mid 70s Pontiac Can Am and Grand Am,75 TA. 60s 70s crew cab pickup cabs. 60s 70s hearses. long bed for the AMT/MPC 84 GMC 4x4 pickup. ???

I agree with all of the above....very nice...!

That is cool looking... I have a few planed to do someday...hope anyway.

I like it...

Mike....I like what you trying to do and the route. Snaps are a great way to get the young builders started..or anyone who has never built one before. I have tried to get my 11 year old nephew interested and he built a couple snaps I got him but he spends most of his time on the video games...still trying...he spends way too much time on the games. Id think the best thing to do is find a snap kit of something they like or are into...it might be just the thing to get them interested enough to start in on one. Keep at it at least there interested Mike.

Welcome....to you both...

I am liking this....

Andy.... Yes they had a transaxle and torque tube in them....a friend of mine has a wagon with a 428ci ? SD in one hes building a drag car out of it. many had slant 4cyls in them which was 1/2 of a Pontiac 389ci basically so they were pretty easy swaps for a bigger engine.

Decals and work looks nice to me...

Cool project Jeff.... I have a few of the early 70s Dodge 2wd long bed pickups I need to get restored...loved those things.

Cool project Terry...

Ken buddy....That is COOL...I have always liked those Tom Daniels show rod kits...nice work...

Mark...it would be nice to find those full wheel covers for the early Dodge 2wd trucks...I have a couple I am trying to restore. Jeff...I wonder if any other car kits had ones that would work ok for you...????

Scott...I hear you there..those old and odd kits were cool. I have the Chevy open road camper van from my dads old stuff but its missing all the raised roof and camper parts(already has the huge roof plate cut out on it)...need to find those for it...shame they cant re-issue it someday for us all its a great kit.

I just use the wife's emery boards/sticks...there cheap and work great.
