Great looking Autocar! Love the colors.
Also love your simple & super clean work bench & work area.

Love those 36 Fords! This one looks like it's going to be another sweet RRR build!
-
I love what you have done with this 32 so far!!

I have one of these Falcon models & like 99 % of them the rear wheelwells were hacked for slicks.
I hate the stock rear wheelwells,but filled mine in anyways. Looking at you beautiful model, I am going to
do my rear fenders like yours. I love everything about your build. Nice work!!

After a couple of weeks of haggling and back and forth conversations, I finally managed to get my grubby little mits on a resin gmc crew cab. Now to decide if I’m going to build it as a 2wd dually, crew shortbed, or massage it into a suburban! Or maybe a 4wd?? I’ll be poking it on the back burner for a little bit.
I’d like to make it it into a retro version of my shop truck.
Is that 4-door cab still available or is it an older resin piece? I like those trucks lifted & lowered.

Car turned out beautiful! Is cool you guys all get along & can build together on projects.

Here are a couple Luv's I built in 1979 from the original version on this kit.
-
Bob Bond's Chevy Luv built in 1975. Always liked these mini trucks.

Nice job !! Love that color combo!! Did you change the SS dashboard?
-
Nice work oh the Toyota. I built the Miller Datsun when it was issued in the 80's.
I built it to look like a friends lowered truck.

The 400 IS a small block. I had one in a '72 Station Wagon. Miserable Engine. 2 Barrel Carb only and totally gutless on the topend. But It had gobs of torque. Smoke most Factory 350's off the line, then ran out of steam, about 5 seconds later. The 350 would beat me to the next stoplight every time.

I am aware the cars had 400 sb engines.The trucks that have the factory 400 emblems represent the big block 402 engines. GM didn't put a 400 sb into it's pickups until 1975.

I will never understand why AMT did what they did with these trucks.
The current '72 is a mishmash of this kit and the AMT GMC stepside with a new very poorly done grille. They didn't even get the headlights round.
They tooled up a new '72 Chevy grille on the GMC chrome tree and cut a complete new mold for the small block engine. WHY ?? The MPC kit already had both. The interior seems to be from the MPC kit and the chassis plate seems to be the AMT piece stretched to the long wheelbase. I never really took a close look at the cab but I think it's from the AMT kit but don't quote me on that.
They would have been much easier just put the new box and underhood details in the MPC kit and had basically the same thing,, but with a much better looking front end.
That said, I do now suspect that this MPC kit is mostly intact somewhere but missing it's interior.
Are you saying there is a new grill in the latest Coke edition 72 Chevy kit?
I have a Rolling Thunder kit. The chassis seems to be from the extended gold MPC truck as is the extended bed & wrong step side fenders.
The hood has no underside detail. Cab,interior tub & dash all seem to be look the same as the AMT parts. Still has the 8-400 emblem even though the engine is a small block.

Nice work on this one Kurt! The 67-72 GM trucks are a favorite of mine. I have built a few of them &
still have 8 boxed kits & a ton of junkers to build some day.
I like your work on making the taillights more like the way they should be along with all the other mods
you did to correct a bad kit! Keep up the good work! Brad

Built this back in 04 after I saw a rendering done bt Steve Stanford. Started with a junker 78 Dodge.
I shortened the wheelbase,shaved the emblems & trim,filled the cowl vent,made a 1-piece rear door & sunk the taillights.
Custom made the grill,& used masking tape for the vinyl roof.Added Prowler wheels.

Mark,so good to see you are still plugging along on this project. Wrapping those headers must have taken a while to do as I know wrapping real ones are a pain.

I built a 50 Ford back in 2009. Great kit with a ton of cool parts, although I went a different way with mine.:)
Your model is coming along nicely! Will be following your build.
