I'm still looking for one of these.

After having problems with the body I took a break. I asked a 3D designer who had designed another body for me to take a crack at the International Metro Mite body. He nailed it and it was affordable. I paid $40 for the file. I had one printed and it turned out really nice so I’ll use the 3D printed body instead of scratch building one. He also designed the freezer units for the top. I’m still using the scratch built chassis and I’ll be scratch building a dash board and freezer for the interior for this too. The 3D printed body came out too nice not to use. I fit the chassis into the body.

I’m looking for an MPC ‘Deserter’ GMC cab or cab from a similar kit.

The 1982 Firebird looks great! What scale is this?

What latex mask did you use? The chipped paint looks great!

Have you downloaded the Gambody kit? You mentioned I would need to play around with the scaling to make it fit the MPC kit.

Thanks Steve and Dan. I hadn't seen the files on fab365 but I did come across the complete kit on Gambody. I contacted Gambody a couple of days ago and asked if the designer would be willing to sell me the files for the front bumper and the interior KITT parts. I haven't heard back yet.

Does anyone make 1/16 Knight Rider KITT Conversion parts for MPC 1/16 1982 Firebird?

The difference in wheelbase between the short bed(6.5") and long bed(8") trucks is 14". You would have to add 14 scale inches ahead of the rear wheel arch as well as ahead of the rear end on the chassis. Then about 6 scale inches behind the rear wheel arch as well as to the chassis behind the rear end.

I'm looking for a set(4) of the chrome wheels from a Monogram Ford F-250 Pickup.

I love this one!

This is awesome! What chassis did you use?

I'm still looking for a set.

I'm looking for a set (2) of front tires from a Revell '41 Willys Street Rod kit. They are the small front tires that fit the smaller rims in the kit. They have 'GOOD YEAR Eagle ST on them in small lettering. Tomorrow in daylight I'll try and take a picture of one I have.

Thanks Les! I actually found this a couple weeks ago and already got files from them of a '91 model.

Bill, You did an amazing job on this kit! Now I have to get one.

Great job David! It's amazing how good you made a snap kit look. I actually like the way the body looks with the Testors Dull Coat on it.

I know but I wanted to build one for my wife soon for either Christmas or her birthday 3 months after that. I was hoping to find someone who can help me with this.

Great job on this.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Can you post some pictures of the two bottom shorty conversions?

Is there anyone here who can design a 1991 Dodge Shadow body for me? I have other pictures, drawings and can provide measurements of the 1:1.

I had bought a '78 kit a couple of years ago and saw that it came with the older style dashboard and interior(doghouse). I found a '79 interior and dashboard on E-Bay that I'll use when I get around to building it. Back in the 80's I wanted to build a model of my dad's '78. I had found a Cannonball Run kit and was surprised that the body was a '79 so I modified the fenders and hood to resemble a '78. MPC got a lot wrong back then. The Dukes Of Hazzard kits were all inaccurate too. It would be nice if Round2 would tool up a new Dodge van for the '71- 77(78) or one for the '94-'03.

Does anyone make a 3D/resin Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance body? I can use an MPC Dodge Daytona kit as a donor. I'd like to make a model of a Dodge Shadow my wife used to have for her? She has fond memories of that car. Here's a reference picture(not my wife's car).
