    Yep those are cool too...me..Id like to find the workshop or ambulance ones. I have a old glue bomb busted up I might be able to do something with but its missing the complete chassis and wheels and tires. Its beyond rough. If you like van kits and dont mind the large scale its one you need to get to do. My grail of the van kits is MPCs 71-75 Dodge van and AMTs 70s Chevy mini motorhome van.

    I cant agree with you more Bill. I miss the power and styling they had...they were real cars. My first car was a 72 Olds Toronado...never asked me for anything. I hate the fact most newer cars all look the same and rear wheel drive is almost a thing of the past. With todays prices one would expect a little more from them. I had a 72 Chevy van with a 350ci in it..it had 479,000. miles on her when I sold it due to the body condition still ran awesome and was very reliable.

    Cool..! I have been wanting to build a replica of one the family had owned once...it was a crew cab long bed...,shame they dont bring the early 70s ones back out with the long bed for us.

    They sure would Mike...along with factory stock wheel covers too. I have been waiting over 10 years to restore mine but without the doors..?

    Nice work saving this old one. I have a 59 Buick convertible that was just like it for the most part....I restored it to factory stock and believe me it was a challenge. I had to re-scribe a lot of the trim on it but it came out nice.

    What irked me today...??? Well the other day I had a member of a facebook model collector/builder site ask me what all parts I need to repair/restore my dads old ones with and my project builds..(knowing I needed old and hard to find parts) mind you. So I spend an hour typing out the huge long list of them for him...I get a reply back of..(I dont get rid of any of my older parts)..??? Now mind you I understand someone not wanting to let go of stuff I have some that way myself...but he knew I was looking for old and rare parts..etc. in the first place. Why waste someones time and hope like that...???

  19. disabled modeler
    Very nice...! I have the old jeep with the 1/2 cab but mine is missing the doors to it sadly.
  20. disabled modeler
    My dad owned one with the 429ci...4 speed once....I wanted that car so bad. From his old collection I have a 70 and a 71 model but sadly they both need a lot of parts and work thanks to a tornado here in 2011...along with many others. Stunning build..!!!

  23. disabled modeler

    This is one of my childhood ones I actually have left after our storm in 2011....It was one of the first ones my dad got me back then. I have to find some pieces it needs and useable decals yet I never finished it back when I got it as a kid it was a bit too advanced for me then as a new builder with little experience. If anyone loves crazy wild drag cars its one for your list. Id love to see many of the old Johans come back..there are many I once had Id like to have again.
