  1. Love it!
  2. Courious? If a resin corrected interior tub was available. How many of you would buy one @ $15 a tub?
  3. They are the same kit and same tool in different boxes. Only difference is my old one has the correct hood.
  4. Very nice build! I bought that kit in that box as well. The box art car had the entire chassis, engine and engine compartment from the 69 GTX! Notice the front sway bar! Just like you stated it had none of those parts in it and the Daytona hood instead of the correct 69 hood. The hood issue has been that way since the 80s. The last issue I know of that had the correct hood was molded in yellow from the 80's
  5. Same here. I was wondering what happened. I bought his 2013 Shelby and 2014 Camaro Z28. Both are very nice and I got a few sets of his 67 Shelby wheels. I'm wanting his 2012 Boss 302 and his Dodge Demon Widebody.
  6. If your looking to make money your chances are slim. Best bet is on truck but no bed is a killer. If your looking for fun and experience go for the Chrysler with the 383. Car can be fun and engine and trans parts should be easy to get but not always cheep. Rest of car is hard to get parts for. This I know all to well. AMC is also difficult to get parts for and even less of a market for it.
  7. That is beautiful. I built the original issue and the decals were brittle even then. I have one more of the Pro Modeler version and I'm sure the decals are toast now.
  8. It gets worse if they know you can fix things, have a truck and a welder! At least I'm in AZ, everyone has at least 1 truck.
  9. Thanks for the tip. I'll probably do that to the 59 as well. It's not as noticeable on this 60 because of the black paint.
  10. Maybe?
  11. Really looks great!
  12. Looks great in white!
  13. Thanks. This one is one of my favorites and just looks great!
  14. Thanks everyone! This is a really nice kit and for the most part builds well. The chassis doesn’t seem to fit well into the body and I think the rockers need to cover the sides better. Now to build the 59 Impala but what color? HMMM.
  15. Thanks everyone. This one was an easy build only because I started with a nice unbuilt kit. Sometimes it is easier to buy a complete unbuilt kit at just over $100 than the rebuilders. I bought the three rebuilders between 50-75 each and was still trying to find some parts for these. But once they are past the 1/2 way point and I’m enjoying what I’m building I forget all about the money. And that is what this is all about!
  16. Thanks everyone. This one came out awesome and the redlines are the kit issued tires! My only problem was buying up a bunch of builders to get all the parts. I had a resin 67 from F&F, resin Mini Exotics 67 and a resin Mini Exotics 68 GTE. Along with 2 67 rebuilders, this 68 rebuilder and another unbuilt 68 that I scored for $100 only missing the tail light lenses but I had some! Some of the resin I had a long time and this is the first one that I finally built!
  17. Thanks everyone. I love this one and was not real motivated to finish it for some reason. All Revell has to do is tool up a new body, grill and decals and this could be a kit. Exspecially now that I finished my project and they have all the rest of the parts in various kits. I built a 69 Boss 302, 70 Mach 1 and 72 Olds 442 convertible before Revell issued kits of those so it could happen!
  18. Thanks everyone! This one came out great and just seemed to want to be built. I have had some fight me but this one practically put its self together. Even the paint just about applied itself! I hope my other GTO go as well as this one did!
  19. Thanks everyone. This one was a pretty easy resto one I got all the parts gathered up.
  20. Thanks everyone. This is one of my favorites. Just a real joy to build and looks great even though this one had a broken windshield frame. Here is my first one and it is going to get a rebuild as it has a few errors and the paint is splotchy. Or maybe I’ll finally build the Pace Car version.
  21. Thanks everyone! This was one of my more challenging builds as it seem to fight me no matter what I was doing. Glad it is done!
  22. Thanks everyone. I love how this one came out but man. It’s a great kit out of the box but as soon as you start modifying it you better check the fit!
  23. Thanks everyone. I almost didn’t want to show this one as it was so nice to start and not my work. But after having to strip the body and start over. I figured why not.
  24. Thanks everyone!
