  1. Carl buddy...LOL.. That is a great reply and advise...there are times where you just have to make time for what makes you happy.
  2. Me I couldn't its too nice as it is for me to...I love these things...always on the hunt for them for my collection.
  3. WOW...!!! Nice stuff...you got a couple I have been after for YEARS..!
  4. On mine I just make a RTV rubber mold of the original ones on the body and cast my own new ones to use...I have even used Elmers glue in place of the resin or plastic to make them with..worked for mine.
  5. Rick...that is cool. What scale is it and is it plastic..? An old neighbor of mine once had one of those Dodge ambulances he drove around in everyday.
  6. very nice build....sorry for your misfortunes...they can be a real challenge to deal with.
  7. Bill.... we were in the same boat for learning to drive them. I had to teach myself to as well when my job required it at a car dealership in the mid 80s.
  8. very nicely done...looks very realistic.
  9. Nice work..shes starting to really look the part of a 83.
  10. Very cool build...I liked the cotton tire smoke..we use to do that when I was a kid..thanks for the memories.
  11. id love to see them bring the(Big Drag) and (80 Pontiac Trans Am) kits back out. My brother has an old build up of the Dig Drag kit its awesome.
  12. Welcome Jason...! Thank you for your service to us all...we do appreciate it more than you know. Nice build.
  13. Bill... I understand that one completely seen it many times myself. Me..I miss working I had jobs I loved. bad thing is there is always someone out there that is only looking for a hand out while there are many that really truly do need the help....there is always others much less fortunate than another out there just trying to get by.
  14. I should be as lucky to have this problem...LOL..
  15. Robert.... You can scribe your 4 door body lines to convert one into a 4 door it just takes lots of patience. I will use many layers of pinstripe to use as a guide as well...the trick is to lightly scratch your new door opening lines where you need them...over time they will get easier and more pronounced(keep in mind the 2 door doors are longer than the front doors on a 4 door car). after making your 4 door opening lines you just fill in the old 2 door ones and smooth it all out. I have done it many times...like on my 69 Plymouth 4 door wagon build i did. You can do it...it just takes time.
  16. John... Me I love promos of the 60s/70s era...I restore them if at all possible. If there too far gone they become models that way they have another chance. Some one finds are just too badly damaged to be restored as a promo..some are not. id say if it is nothing rare or too expensive Id do what ever I wanted to with it in your case. I have several old promos I want to restore and finding the needed parts to is a real challenge even though many kit parts would work on them. Ether way enjoy the Monza.
  17. NICE...!
  18. I like it..! Nice lifts too..!
  19. Awesome project..! I have wanted to do the same thing for quite some time...make a replica of one I owned once my was a factory custom van was very cool.
  20. Very nice...!
  21. Same here...LOL... Very nicely done..!
