Very cool Dan....I really dig the Dodge cabover in the background...

That sounds cool...!

Thanks Rob...now to find one to start with......I have been trying to build replicas of the vehicles the family owned over the years.

Oh I like that....! very cool.

it says 429 Coupe

NICE...! I have some that were my dads that will remain the way they are...the others have to have repairs done on them.

Rob....I wander how hard it would be to make a Aspen from the Volaries or RR kit..?

Andy...must be something very rare to not show up...there has to be a photo of one somewhere out there just have to figure out where..? I know the Aspen R/T was a very rare car..wish we could have kept it...thinking it was a 360ci 4 speed car and looked close to the RR version of the kits. I might have to see if they made a promo of the Aspen to make a R/T from..? I do remember seeing a Pinto with the stripes on it once. I did find the Aspen R/Ts photos on the net.

Cool project.

The stock versions shown here are pretty decent but there both short beds...only way to get a long bed is get/find an old original issue of it which is a nice kit in my opinion.

Andy...have you check on google images..? You might find it there....while your at it look up a Aspen R/T...that is the one I want to make we use to own one that was Petty blue or sort of.

You both did a very nice job on her...looks great..! Nice to see someone get and save them instead of what usually happens to them...getting tossed in the trash....

Stephen...I have a few on my wish list too I ether cant afford or find yet....hope you find yours...its nice to see others find something that means a lot to them.

I really dig this.....

Your right Bill...if it was a manual trans it would be the one like the AMT Chevy Blazer has in it...one of the ones I owned had a TH400 and the other had a TH350 trans in it. The one we have right now is a 84 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 long bed it has a 700R4 trans due to its newer year.

I am glad they have the Honeycomb wheels in them...its 4 less parts I need to find to make a replica of my old 75 Trans Am I once owned....shame they cant bring the 75 Birds back.

Steven...if you have one the Monogram 70 Chevelle SS 454ci should work well in the truck just swap the trans on them that way you can keep in scale with your truck kit. I use to own 2 70s Chevy Camper Special trucks...1 was a 350ci and the other a 454ci truck both had automatics.

Yep this is pretty much the one it is...the power steering pump has the mounting bracket behind or towards the middle of the engine in the instruction photos...its not real easy to see but its there. I love the Johan stuff glue or snaps there all good to me and they offered kits of cars you couldn't get from anyone else.

Yep Johan Olds Toronado engine...think its from the 70-72 ones.

Looks very nice Tom.

Me too...its about the cars,etc. to me.

looks nice JT...been after that one too.

That is awesome Erik....glad you finally found you one.

Thanks for the information Stephen...its appreciated. Only bad thing is my budget or pretty much the lack of one I just cant compete with those guys out there....I also need parts to a 64 Cutlass mines a old promo of a convertible needs..glass and glass frame unit and think the steering wheel to restore it. I dont mind modifying parts to make them right or close enough to work ok. After a breakin here and then a tornado many of the ones I have need work and parts and the list is huge. Thanks.

That is COOL..
