Well, I'd toss the engine as it is not, in my opinion, very good. But the basics appear to be there.

Haven't checked this out in detail, but would not the AMT Cadillac Escalade Pickup be a better starting point? https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/6/0/0/1410600-63-instructions.pdf

Even though an MPC 69 Camaro (optional engine in some kits) and the 1969 Firebird, I got my engine a few years back from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. MCW Finishes appears to offer one. You might give it a try https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/pontiac-ohc-6-cyl-motor-125-scale Here's mt Replica and Miniature version. The Model Car Garage PE Set has the Sprint hood script.

LS engine question
Exotics_Builder replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Well, it may be as stated. But, I'm looking at a photo of an LS with a similar "bauble" and it looks more like the accumulator/dryer can for the A/C system -

The tires are not as small in diameter as compared to the wheels when you bring them loser. In the box, they looked a bit smaller. The centers of the tires need careful trimming from the cloddy center tab. They are not the greatest in tread and look. I still would recommend using something else, but here is what they are

Looking at the tires in the Coupster kit, I think they were originally the same as the Vantastic. And the tires in the box are smaller than the rim and look like street tires. I think, over time, they would split off as they aged. I think it is the material used in the tires. I have a bunch of tires in my stash and can check them against the kit wheels to see what might work. If I were building any of these kits, I definitely would not use the included tires. You're showing SATCO. Are they still in business? I thought they shut down years ago. I bought quite a few aftermarket tires from them.

Are these IMSA or Challenge cars? Or?

I checked the Coupster kit, and the tires are smaller than the rims which means they would be stretched out to go over the rim. The Coupster is a parts kit and I did not get a chance to mail off the Midnite Cowboy today. I could open the box and put the tires inside with the Cowboy kit if you would like? I'll then get it mailed tomorrow.

Getting close to completion. I did not take a lot of progress pictures. Revell 1957 Ford Del Rio kit is the base with aftermarket seats from Texas 3D Customs, Engine from Revell Foose FD100 kit, wheels from AMT Meyers Manx and tires from AMT Parts Pack. More details with finish review in about a week and a half.

Gravity Colors
Exotics_Builder replied to Madman Mike's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It is high quality paint. I use it along with HOK, Zero, Scale Finishes, Firescale, Splash and MCW depending on what I'm painting. They also carry a large variety of interior color options including sets to replicate Alcantara if you wish. -

1969 Chevy Truck with Camper?
Exotics_Builder replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Not AMT, but this is sitting unbuilt in the stash. I think it is better than the AMT rendition, but have not spent a ton of effort looking it over.
