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..

No plastic here this year...there is always next year...LOL...

Nice...I can understand that...there are some people that have over 2,000 kits sitting on a shelf or in boxes. Me counting my dads old stuff have probably close to 150 and some of those are build ups or rebuilders...most coming from my dads old collection. I do believe there is a time where one has to use discretion on what they will buy if any in the future once you have so many sitting and what the budget allows...me I only get things that are ether cheap or something I really want and have been waiting to find and when I can afford it. I respect one having priorities.

You must have a nice stash then. Snake...I do not believe the early Corvair molds were ever modified to my memory. AMT made 2 versions of the Factory stock 66 Buick Skylark...one a curbside and the other a full detail kit..I have both but they both need parts to restore them...Id buy ether version if they were re-issued most likely many of them. A lot of builders do not like the curbsides or snaps or promo like kits...to me they have loads of potential and worth the time...I love them myself always looking for more. Maybe they could re-issue the old Craftsman kits as a quick build or snapfast plus like line..??? Id buy them. I believe the mold AMT re-tooled of the 66 Buick Skylark was the full detail glue kit one...maybe they have the other one still..? Their 70 Buick Wildcat was a hit...I should have gotten more of them.

Id be right on the Kenworth Challenge mixer kit...it was awesome as a kid..! here is a few others Id love to see or find... 69-72 Grand Prix...(even the custom one called Super Fly). 69,71,72,73 Impala/Caprice. Universal Dune Buggy Jeep kit with 1/2 cab options. 60-63 Ford pickups. 70s Ford Modified race team set...pickup/trailer and early modified dirt track car. 71,72 Pontiac Sprint II maybe MPCs old Mild and Wild series kits with the 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 options? the AMT Craftsman series kits.

Would be really cool if they could re-issue the old 66-69 Bonnevilles and a 70 HT version....but there is tons of others Id be very happy to see again and would buy..some multiples of....I have a ton of ideas for possible re-issues that would be great to have back out.
