Johnny... I have hit the wall way too many times myself...usually due to lack of needed parts it just seems to plague me. I think the really nice 70 Wildcat curbside should do the trick...its a great kit and like me right in my passion area too...never bothered me if a kit was a curbside or not heck some I even prefer that way. Give the old Buick a try I think it will get you going...big beautiful and long.

NICE...!

looking like you have all the mold lines cleaned up good...cant wait to see it in some paint.

They usually do take quite a bit of care taking them apart old plastic gets brittle but you did a good job of it by the looks. Most of this body style promos have a small crack where the quarter panel meets the roof at the side window top rear...was lucky with mine they were not cracked and still pretty flexible. I have to agree with you the 70 to 76s were my favorite shapes of the cars...I am partial to the 75s though owning a real 75 TA once.

Thomas ...that tractor kit is cool!

That is SWEET Frank...!!!

If I had it I would just restore it to its proper glory...just polish the body out. I had a promo of a 72 I restored but it went when the thieves broke in here along with many other old promos and kits. I think it looks great the way it is adding a little polishing...I love restoring these things!....love to have more.

Great score Nick!.... Love the 4door Tempest and wagon...very cool!

Very COOL Dan...!!!! Love it!

Very nice build up!...I have one of those but there was no rear bumper in the kit...bummer! I like the resin one but there is just no way Id ever be able to justify or in the first place afford that for one...yikes!

real nice!...I always had trouble with the pinstripe decals...looks great!

Here there just are too many reissued and or new kits that never show up since we have no real hobby shop...so most kits to me are a HSO item.

Very cool!...love wagons!

Me I like them all but have a soft spot for the 74.75s owning a 75 once.

Me too...!!! While your at it what about doing a 73 to 76 Pontiac Grand Am...?....love wagons!...absolute nut about them from the 60s to 70s.

Now that is cool!

Exactly G.... And that is how it should be its a time to cherish their and your memories and help each other get through the loss. Keepsakes are more important than many people realize no matter how small...it helps in the grieving process to have something to remember them by and times you had with them. A month before the wife and I were married her moms house had a fire...her mom and step dad both died in the fire but her 3 brothers jumped out a second floor window and escaped. With no other choice we had an instant family adopted her brothers as my own..wouldn't have had it any other way ether...they had lost their parents and closest relatives were 9 hours away so I was not about to see them loose their sister and friends too. It was not easy but we managed.

I would never buy a car on line but might make a sort of arrangement to buy if one was ok once I was there...maybe. Unless I dealer puts it in writing with all stipulations I will never buy an extended warranty again...we did once on a car that was 1 year old 19,000.miles bought 7 year 100,000.mile coverage...(dealer neglected to tell me the extended warranty starts the very first day the car was put into service when it was new and that does include the factory 3 tear 36,000 mile original warranty for a total of only 4 years extra so we paid for the original warranty coverage ourselves) When the car was 6 years old to us the trans went out...was on my own to get it repaired with only 60,000 moles on it...it had passed the 7year(extended) warranty we paid for...buyer beware.

Nice work Tim!

Looks pretty cool...!

Man I am sorry to hear you all had to go through all that...some people just cant seem to think of anyone else but themselves...specially in your dads and you time of need and comfort. Seems strikingly similar to my situation with my aunt....some people just never get it buddy....in the end there the ones that end up left out by their actions.

That one is the same as mine molded in white....shame the burglars stepped on it....now it needs a body,glass,bumpers to restore it.

I hear ya Chris....Love those body style Falcons!....there a different cool little car. I have 2 of them from my dads old stuff left trying to restore to factory stock as they were...not too sure on the years of them.

Nice collection there...keep up the good work you two.

Yep its a 61 wagon... I have one its rough too...bummer love wagons.
