When I was little, drug stores, dime stores and even grocery stores had a decent selection of kits. My grandmother had a small dime store for a while, but all she stocked were Palmer kits.

That's really cool!

Michael's will match Hobby Lobby coupons but Hobby Lobby won't take Michael's coupons. Really, the only reason to shop at either is for the coupon discount.

Not designed as a kit car kit, but I have an extra Countach kit that is missing the engine and I have been thinking of building it as a kit car version. Maybe with a NASCAR V-8 or something.

I've used a couple of times. 3 years and it hasn't yellowed.

Has he dropped his line of wheels and tires?

1958 Ford Pickup truck? If only.... Sigh..

We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

Really nice. I almost bought that El Camino yesterday. I put it back because they had just gotten the Lindberg Owens Custom Cruiser. I may have to sneak back and get the El Camino as well.

How much do you charge to put one of these things together? LOL. I love the car, not so much the kit..Anyway, you can always LS it. There's lots of Chevy engines available... Ow, quit hitting me!

I don't think there are any rules on titles. My personal rule is to just make it clear so people know what I'm saying. LOL. I've like the Fujimi 911s because they have such great bodies, but I like the Monogram Revell 911s for everything else.

I love this. I've been collevcting Porsche models since I can't have a real one. Been working out ideas like this. Have fun, you are doing excellent!

Last weekend my wife wanted to go to Hobby Lobby for fabric. I checked out the clearance aisle and there was a Higgins 2mm India Ink pen on clearance for $2.75. I got it just because. Now I'm wondering if it might be good for panel lines and such. 2mm is pretty wide I know. Is India Ink a forgiving material? I have used fine tip Sharpies but if you slip, it is hard to clean up the mistake.

I really hope to see this one!

Not been off-road, but there was this really gnarly speed bump at Walmart...

I looked and mine is back too.

Love what you are doing!

I bought two of this kit last year, one to build stock and the other to build like you are doing. Love the inspiration.

Is there a chance that he has an American vendor, or do you have to order direct?

Love the wheels and the beer! This body style of Ford and the 61-63 are really needed as kits. I have a few of the old AMT ones but they are getting super expensive. Maybe Moebius will do one or maybe some Indiana Jones-like AMT employee will come across the old tooling somewhere back in the warehouse.

This was a redo of the original Blue Beetle wasn't it? That would mean that the engine was probably the Cadillac engine modified so they didn't have to pay royalties to Cadillac.

MPC had a nice Toyota Supra that could stand to see a reissue.

Beautiful work! I saw one of this on eBay last week and meant to bid on it, then forgot about it until it was over.

Beautiful!

Great job on the weathering!
