Cool story and photo.... I miss my old 75 Trans Am I once owned badly...maybe someday I can find a model or promo to make a replica of her to have..? It had a .30 over sized 400ci Pontiac with a 472 lift 512 duration cam,ram air heads and exhaust manifolds,balanced engine assembly...ran super strong. Id also love to find ones to make replicas of the ones the family had owned over the years... 75 TA 64 Bonneville/Safari wagon 68,69,70 Bonneville HTs 69,70,71 Grand Prix 69,71 Impala early 70s Dodge window van and factory custom van mid 70s Dodge van motor home 70,71 Mercury Cyclone GT 74 AMX 71? Hornet 70? Rebel 67,69,70 Cadillac coupe de-villes 66 Chrysler 300 HT 68 Chrysler Imperial HT 66 Buick Skylark GS and others....replicas would be good for the memories.

That is very nice Mike....cool..!

Me too Vince....I had one as a kid.

Welcome Jody...! I have been there too...hang in there. Building is a great way to pass the time...and I have lots of it to pass...LOL...

Id be happy to see the 63 Ford pickup reissued with the over head camper....trying to restore one that is rough.

Welcome Daryl...! We have some of the same interests...me I am a 60s through mid 70s guy.

Id LOVE to see these make it back out too...would be great if they would reissue the old model kits with the complete bonus kits or accessories they had. Anyone can see they would be great sellers.

Very cool..! Glad you got them.

Tim.... I have that same old license plate sign in my garage...LOL...

Glad all of you that are in recovery are doing better and for the ones still working on it hang in there. Me Id be happy to feel my age instead of feeling like I am in my 70s or 80s....I am just glad I wake up in the morning now.

Yesterday my brother of all people shows up at my house and gives me a 64 Mercury Parklane convertible promo that is damaged he found...got to find the glass and frame,top boot,bumpers,taillights and steering wheel to restore it...too cool not to.

Welcome Tim..! For me the golden age of building was the 60s and 70s stuff....glad some are making a came back. Your right...once a builder always a builder...I cant imagine life without plastic...would be very boring for me.

Chris....Will you be using the tires and wheels from the Uni-mog kit...??? I need a set for the kit I have they were missing.

Xs 2.....Very cool...!

Welcome Kevin...! I have been building since the age of about 6 or 7....love it.

WOW...nice haul Alan....I still need to get me one of those large scale Kenworth trucks...then add as much detailing i can to one.

Ken buddy....is there any way to remove more than one at a time....???....I need to do this too but one at a time it will take forever...?

Me I am 52....been building since about 6 or 7 years old....man I am glad i got better over the years....LOL..!

Simply stunning...! I am a fan of the big bodied Pontiacs....have a old 70 HT that needs another body and glass I have to find someday.

Now that is COOL...!

Looks nice Chris....I love the old promos and restoring them.

Stan....All good advise here. I have been there many times myself...still have those days when nothing seems to go right. Best advise anyone ever gave me on building is.... Treat every part as if it were a model itself. Build for you or what makes you happy with them. Building is no race...build at your own speed and the results will show it...after time they will all start to look much better as each one you build you learn from. If you love it never give up...me if I am having a bad building day I just take a break for awhile on them. Me I have been looking for old parts to my dads old ones that need restored for MANY years now and will never give up on them.

Rob... I have the van kit...LOL...I like odd stuff.

Welcome Brian...!

Welcome back..! Any time without building is too long.
