Sport Suburban

Here are a few of my 69's, all of these were built in the early 90's. All three will be replaced with new builds that I havn't done yet.

Here is my 67 Z/28 Here is my 68 Z/28 Here is my 67 Pace Car conv built from the 67 Z/28 kit.

I was joking, but I did enjoy the history lessons.

What no Plymouth Hemis? I know, I know they didn't get any Hemi's the first time around.

Looking good so far. What are you doing about the rear bumper and tail lights? Are you sticking with the 70's rear bumper? Or are you scratchbuilding a 71 bumper to fit this Revell kit?

Yeah, They are out of buisness. I bought that one above back in 2001, I think. I wish they were still around as they had some nice muscle cars. They also did a 69/70 Shelby convertible and a 68 Mustang California Special. I have both of those but the one I waited too long on was a 68 Cougar GTE.

I agree with George 53 and MrObbsesive. Cutting the roof and deck almost to the spoiler is the way to go! Here is a pic of an Eleanor Mustang that I did just that with. Also in the backround is my resin 68 GT500KR. That one is a resin body from Mini Exotics.

It's very nice and I will mostlikly buy one. It seams that it is missing the ridge that goes down the center of the trunk. The Revell 58 and 59's are very nice. I have a few of them along with both the resin 61 and 62 transkits from Historic Racing Miniatures. They are very nice and the trunks are open just like the 58 and 59 kits.

That is not bad!! I just painted my car and the basecoat was $815 a gallon and the clear was $400 a gallon. I wonder how much those glass bottles cost x 256? Glass isn't cheep and those bottles use alot of it for what they hold.

I would like to kitbash it with the 2010 GT500 that is now out.

I'm excited about the 32 ford and the 62 Vette. It is no surprise since I just got the Historic Racing Miniatures 62 transkit for the Monogram 59 kit. Also the Monogram 59 kit has a hardtop in it and the 58 Promodeler has a soft top uptop in it. The rear glass may be leftover from the 59 kit. I also just remembered that most of the Revell Corvette roadsters have tops. The 53/54 kit has a softop, 57 kit has a hardtop, 67 kit has a softtop and the 68 kit has both tops.

I don't know of many but they did offer an enthusiest series that was full detail. I have a few of the Lamborghini Countach kit's.

Very nice job! I like this kit also I have built two so far, Russ Davis and this version also. I have three more unbuilt in my stash. I also hignly recomend this kit!!

I thought it was a good picture of a flying motor!!

Nice job!! It came out great!

Yes it is!!! I live in Peoria (AZ) and it's 13 miles from my house!!

Thanks everyone. Yes it is the kit's engine.

I'm going to get one or two of those!!

The new one is painted with Testors model master spray in Grabber Blue.

Here is the old one. The body was airbrushed with a custom mix of testors white and blue to get the color close to grabber blue. It also only has BMF on the hood. The white interior was airbrushed but all the black was brushpainted. It looks pretty good from back then and is one of my better builds from back in the day. I don't have any side by side photo's but I could take some.

Here is another one that I finished up earlier this year. This one is right out of the box with one exception. It's the classic Revell 1070 Boss 429. I did change out the blank sidewall tires for the same ones with the Goodyear lettering that the older issues had. I built this one just like the old one I built over 20 years ago that I still have. This one was somewhat of a quick build.

I started a kitbash using the 69 Barracuda and the 71 Duster kits. It's not easy and takes lots of fitting. Here are some pics of the work I did. I had to hollow out the rear vallance panel and trim the rear section of the chassis. I also shortened the wheelbase of the Duster chassis the with of my hacksaw blade. This project stalled for a few years and has been sitting. I recently got the Bandit Resin 69 Notchback and that killed this one somewhat. I recently pulled it out of my pyle and started converting it to a 68. It will mostlikely end up being a S/S Barracuda now.

I love it. It is a direct copy of the AMT kit. Here is one I restored to look similar to our 71 Malibu. I would love a Malibu dash too. The Malibu hood is a nice touch.

Gabriel, I beleive those ones that are molded in color are the 70 GTX version and not the Roadrunner that came latter.

My thought exactly!! Nice job.
