Blowers/Superchargers make power from compressing air or air and fuel into the cylinders which gives it a larger fuel/air charge to fire on and actually to a point pushes the pistons where a normally aspirated engine has to draw the fuel/air into it which is drag. In other words the blower is kind of a compressor to a point but the boost or pressure is much less in most cases...a healthy stock engine can handle around 7 pounds of boost if its compression of the engine is not too high to start with. 7 pounds of boost may not sound like a lot but it adds loads of horsepower. I wish I could find one that is like a Paxton for our truck that mounts like a alternator.

I have one of those...my chrome trees were platted very badly and warped...bummer.

Welcome Scott... ...Me I am a big fan of the 60s to mid 70s cars,etc. too.

Cool project. I have the snow plow kit by Revell shame it is missing the wheels and tires...bummer I am wanting to build it.

NICE...! I like the Monaco and 68 Chrysler 300....sweet finds. I have been after the 66 Chrysler 300 for years my dad once owned one think there beautiful cars.

That is awesome..! I love 58 through mid 70s wagons..! need a few for my collection of them...

never be afraid to build a curbside or snap kit...they can build into good looking models and work your way up to more detailed kits...I still will build the snaps myself and I have been at it for over 40 years. best advise anyone ever gave me is it treat every part as if it were a model itself...ends up looking very clean and nice when done. Build for yourself...it only has to make the builder happy. take you time...building is no race its meant to be enjoyable.

I have the 61 Ford Currier and the 65 Dodge van resin bodies from JF...there both nice.

Glad your building again....I wouldn't know what to do if I could not..? Cool project there...the GTOs chassis sink marks are for the older chassis screws ones. A life without plastic is a empty one...

NICE Rob...I hope to get me one before there done its just a funds thing...would be cool behind a 60s station wagon.

NICE...! Now if I could just get them to make a kit of the 75 Firebird or TA.

I had the six million dollar man bike kit as a kid....cool...!

Bummer about your truck getting rear ended...maybe you could find a friend with a portapower and straighten the frame...?...I have done it before...just depends on where its bent and how badly.

needs finished and restored....Id drive it.

Very nice!....dare to be different and look what comes of it....

AMTs 70 Buick Wildcat builds nicely and is a easy kit to build into a nice model.

PM me Ken...if you have anything that sparks my interests we might be able to deal I have an old Fall Guy kit

Nice haul Karl...!

Me too Andy....very cool...good memories from my childhood.

Nice looking Cadillacs guys....the old Lincoln is not bad ether old school.
