Yes you could. You would also need to source the specific decals for the Deuce (Fred Cady did a set which I have). The original 69 Nova release (2-n-1) would be a good choice as it has the LT-1 engine, drive train, etc. Another source would be the AMT 70 1/2 Camaro Z/28 which has an LT-1 and does not have chambered exhausts. (I can go downstairs to the stash and confirm any questions on either of the two)

Slixx for sure.

1996 is a C4 and 1997 a C5. Which one are you after?

Got mine late yesterday afternoon. One will likely be built stock and one custom. Now which to do first?

That's what I thought from your original post. I don't remember seeing any from resin casters. When I use other fuel pump options, I will usually save the ones that aren't blobs on the block (lot of older AMT engines). Revell has a lot of engines with separate fuel pumps that I stuff in the stash when I don't use them. Wish I could help you more.

I can second that.

Sorry, this is the only picture I have at the moment of the side. But this will give you an idea:

Are you asking about mechanical fuel pumps that attach to the block (like Chevy Big and Small Block engines) or in-line pumps mounted on the chassis?

I have a couple of Detail Master and a KA set down in the wheel stash, so I think I am good. One of the reasons to buy and store, but eventually you use them up and then hope.

Revell has supposedly standardized the skill levels on both sides of the "Pond". Some older USA kits still use the tier model. The USA web site, however, still denotes the 3 tier.

I pretty much go for aftermarket wheels and tires where I can. But you are right. Protar is the biggest violator I've had experience with.

His picture says Creative Models Limited, http://www.creativemodels.net/ is where it is from

X2.

Check flea markets or swap meets, you never know. Especially flea markets. If you are wanting to build stock, an older kit with custom parts missing may be the ticket. Otherwise, think newer version and Modelhaus front grill/headlamp assembly is a good, cost effective alternative.

This is a good option for a stocker. The Modelhaus front end is very good and a variety of chasses can fit under the AMT body with a little work. My preference is the Revell Chevelle (Z-16) chassis or the 66 GTO, There are other options, like the PL 64 mentioned.

That is about what I've been seeing (150-170) for a clean, everything there unbuilt. I've seen a couple at swap meets for a little less (100-125), but content was iffy, missing parts or started.

With you there. He mixed up the Tomcyzk Audi colors so I could do the DTM version of his car. When I queried about thinner gassing out of some paints, he sent me a free thinner bottle, even though I said I would buy it. I like the latest bottles that have a more positive capping.

A couple of years back before IHOBBY I queried Revell on doing new tools on such cars as the 65 GTO, 68 Camaro, etc. Basically, the comment was AMT had pretty much cornered that market and not much benefit was perceived for them to do a new tool. I hope they'll change their minds, as it seems AMT doing an upgrade is likely a long way off, if ever.

First test fit of Flintstone body. I cleaned up the body, including a little bit of the interior area at the back. Having already scratch built the delivery back floor, I taped the sides and dash together for the test. The fit looks pretty good. As you can see, it appears a Revell 57 Del Rio was used in the master since the front chassis slots into the body. I’ll clean up the outside of the body and get a primer coat to do a semi-final test fit. I’ll also try the kit windows.

If Revell is doing a gasser as the next version (sounded very likely), you may want to hold on for a bit.

Ed, what is your website? Was it the old Drag City Casting? I couldn't find any reference to these interiors.

Here is my box version from the kit stash downstairs:

Mine (still unbuilt) says 65 GTO and has the custom part on the side of the box and the convertible on top.

My reshipment of the order arrived yesterday as we were heading out to an event. In his email, Jameston said several shipments just before Thanksgiving never arrived. So much for the USPS thoroughness, I guess. Hopefully he can recoup the costs of the original shipments.

My replacement paint arrived yesterday. Scale Finishes had to resend it as the original shipment got lost. Of course, if I hadn't accidentally spilled the original paint bottle contents (about half the bottle) I wouldn't have had to reorder.
