Very nice!!!....I love the old school trucks.

Just had a great trade with progplastic...excellent to work with!

I would have to had looked at all of them....

Welcome Nigel

Nice truck!... I had the same thing happen here a couple of days before Christmas....lost around 70% of my stuff...many were from my dads old collection...huge bummer.

I like the idea of the roof....makes the kit look completely different and cool.

Thanks guys... I still cant believe how close the two are in building style...LOL...

As a factory stock builder I see your point of view and the huge task of trying to restore one of these to factory stock again...I have the same problem with many I have. But there are some that just need to be left as is if they cant be restored....trying to restore the old builds can be a HUGE task.

Yep it sure did it was called the(ding a ling)....me myself I LOVE the little accessories the kits came with I collect them and use them in dioramas cant get enough of them...scale figures were great too.

Tom... I love wagons anyway so I can understand why you had to have it....real time piece and full of model history.

Well I am not real computer savvy but I think its horrible for people like me that can not afford to get another computer.... I barely know who to run this one to start with. I cant help but feel there could be a inside interest in the whole thing for financial gain here of the sales of new computers or ? I have an old 84 Pickup that is much more reliable than many of the newer cars/trucks out there...guess they would want me to through away it too and force me to buy a new one if I want/need to be able to drive anywhere???

WOW!!!!...very very nice!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool...you have to check out my weathered pickup in my photo bucket here...we must think alike....LOL...

That stretched 60 Ford wagon is wild looking! Talk about a creative mind!

I enjoy seeing these old build ups from days gone by and it does hit home of my own childhood days of building. Me if I find one that is pretty nicely done Ill leave it as is but if there in need of repairing or a total makeover I will restore them to factory stock if possible. I look at old models and promos as restoring and trying to save some history and love doing it. With my main source of models coming from garage sales or trades I have seen many of these old builds...some are just crying out for help...far too many do end up in the landfill in my opinion...wish I could be there to get them and give them another life nothing ever goes to waste here there is always another use for them if they cant be restored or repaired.

I like it...! Very nice! Nice to see a built that is not top of the line muscle car.

I love it...!!!! This is one that is on my bucket list to get someday....love the shape of these things just beautiful!

Welcome Nikki... Congrats on the choice to build...its great therapy and very fulfilling hobby...stick with it and hang tough you will make it.

Very nice work...I like them!

70 Buick Wildcat 61 Ford Galaxie 72 Torino 74 AMX 78? Cadillac Coupe DeVille 62? Stude convertible 64 Galaxie might be fun to try and find some of these there older kits.

If anyone is interested in this old sealed kit I might trade it off just send me a PM

Very nice!.... I built mine as a low end car...6cyl with dog dishes.

Cool build...almost looks like a mobile home toter

I think I have some parts for the chassis here I found in a box of old stuff?

Very cool!
