Looks GREAT! See Rich (Ramfins59), the old '54 kit builds up nicely and can be made stock looking!

Nice! As originally designed and a kitbashed one!

Submission deadline was today, did anyone enter?

Yes, the resin HHRs are a touch underscale, but the master was a motorized toy... Better than no replica, and at least the donor PT Cruiser chassis doesn't need any modification width-wise, only shortened a bit!

Nicely done! Looks like it belongs there!

You think she's cool, or did you have a crush on her in her younger days? Don't worry, we ALL did!

Tommy, get in touch with Jens here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showuser=11527 He's a member in Germany, and he's got a few 1:1 American muscle cars, maybe he can help with a European connection or two?

Very cool Ron!

Congrats Billy!!! Very cool to have your ride in a well known publication. That's something not many can claim!

Stan, if you are planning a highly modified HOT ProStreeter like your '65, I'd use a new(ish)-tool AMT '67 and buy just the exterior bright parts and a hood from the Modelhaus... I'm converting one (slowly) into a '68. Hardest part is the front header panel and front inner fenders. Chassis and floor pan is a drop in. If you want a stock SS427, then go resin (you can sometimes score a deal on an original promo or kit though with patience). Depends on how you want your model. MCW does have a neat '68 Biscayne

She's a BEAUTY Tom!

Nice Scott! Sure wish the Shawn Carpenter parts were still available

Can't find a pic of an OEM pan from back in the day, but here's a new aftermarket: #31470 383-440 & HEMI - 81/4" DEEP, REAR SUMP Originally designed for Super Stock campaigners and today used on all Super Comp, Super Gas and bracket classes as well, this design moves the sump completely to the rear, where it should have been in the first place, and where the oil wants to go! Fits '65 and later chassis for all Wedge and Hemi engines. Pan and a Milodon oiling system will allow the 8500 RPM plus range. Uses a tie rod tube through which the drag link is inserted after engine installation. Minor drag link modification may be necessary due to frame, steering and engine mount misplacement or movement from stock.

Oooh, that would work!

She hardly knows you & she let you drive her 2 day old EXPENSIVE car, by yourself? She wants you Jeff!!!

Really hoping some kit manufacturer steps up with a kit of the super sharp new Jag... http://www.jaguarusa.com/all-models/f-type/overview/index.html

I think Chuck Most was looking for a set of Jim's vintage International heavy truck wheels?

The box art for the cabrio shows a Super Beetle, is that what's really in the box? Has there ever been a Super kitted? The Aoshima 1303s Beetle has a Super on the box as well, but I understand its not a Super either?

Welcome Brendon! Nice flex on the 1:1 Your replica is looking great so far

Nicely built, looks like a 1:1!

Very cool! Never knew a kit existed!

NICE! All 1/18 scale?

KEWL!!!

Thanks for the great review Tom! I have passed right over this kit recently, but now I'll pick one up!

VERY nice!!!
