Does the latest version (black box art) come with stock and custom wheels ? Both types of decal are a bonus. Good move Revell. I have stock wheels & tyres to trade for the customs if you cant find a stock kit. Everything else in whatever version you pick up is the same. The base of the front seat is moulded to the floor which makes swopping a pain (or just mod into a Custom Glide Engineering seat as I have in my 1;1)

Revell snap kit, one of the best out there if you want a 2 door coupe.

Thanks David. Yeah its quite big & no room in cabinet at the moment. I have a few to lower n modify.

Both are 1;24 Action brand. Crew cab is nice, shame no rear window is cast in so I will prob 'paint' one on rather than trying to cut it out. I also have a 2005 Action Silverado crew cab that does include side rear and back window but is bigger compared to the 1998 ?? Will get a pic of the 2 together but here is the 05 with a Jada crew cab. Never having seen the real version of the boat, are Bass boats generally bigger than Crew cabs ?

Guy sent wrong Action boat, but was same no 29 Goodwrench as Silverado so worked out better. Crew cab needs lowering but heres a quick pic. Bass boat is very detailed and heavy with a nice detailed trailer.

Ive got several sbc in spares box. Wondered as thinking of modifying more than just the engine

Anybody know if Franklin Mint moulds / castings are exclusive or shared / based on somebody elses ? I picked up a 1/25 scale 57 Chevy kit that has a missing engine.

Well been a bit bad this week lol. Finally got a 1;25 AG 32 Ford with Milner figure after missing a few due them going for crazy money. Just need Toad, Debbie & Wolfman........ Also 1;24 Action Silverado crew cab with trailer & NASCAR (car will be sold on as not my thing) along with an Action Bass boat

Looks good. I love satin black 1;1's when done right, that Charger looks very nice.

That looks pretty good Snake. We get the JADA F & F models here in the UK, sometimes can be picked up cheap. Looks like the F & F Daytona is the same as yours bar different paint tho I was never drawn to it until seeing yours. The F & F Chevelles have ARE style 5 spokes, wonder if a wheel swop would make the Daytona look different / more track inspired ?

Great build Oliver, be watching this closely as I started the exact same build some years back (never got far due to a house move n stuff) but with the RR hood. Always been one of my favourite brief appearing movie cars. Of course the 1;1 wasnt accurate, it was a movie car but a very cool one.

I keep looking at the 58 Furys, so far managed to avoid the temptation though....

Wonder if the bass boat would suit to oversized Dually ? I have the Revell kit to go behind a Revell 99 Silverado ext cab.

Thats a nice 2012 Bob, get it lowered. 3/5 drop totally transformed the ride of mine. Ive just ordered a blue Jada. Ive got a couple of the 2012 plastics but they are red remote control versions. I have a few and like you thought about a crew cab conversion. I bought a clear glass for it too from a resin company.

And the 2014 Jada vs 2005 Brookfield, both are listed as 1:24. Again I havent measured to see what is true to scale. The Brookfield 2005 dually is bigger than the Brookfield 98 dually I have, both listed as 1;24 ? Id like to get one of the Norscot's one day to compare too

A few quick pics. From L to R, Jada (1;24), Motor Max (1;24/7 ?) & Welly (1;27) Not measured them to see what is actually true to scale. Jada has a pretty good finish and detail (paint on mirrors isnt good) this is also lowered. Motor Max also has good finish and detail but only available as stock height, so I lowered it. Welly is obviously smaller, paint finish isnt great, door fit is bad (all are mail ordered so I couldnt look for a 'good' one on the shelf), detail is ok. Again I have lowered it. I have ordered the Motor Max in black and white and searching for a Jada in stock height. Will pass on anymore Welly's. At some point they will all get detailed and painted interiors etc.

I will try n grab a few pics this eve Bob. My cabinet front is screwed on to keep grandkids out lol. Never heard of the Norscot brand, but just had a quick look. At 1st I thought was a reboxed Motor Max or something but they pics I found look very detailed. Do you have any & are they readily available in the US ? The few I found on ebay aint cheap, with postage to the UK. What year Crew Cab have you got ? Mines an 04, with a few modifications

Since owning a 1;1 Chevy crew cab, my 1;25('ish) collection has grown somewhat. The Motor Max 2017/18's are far better and more to scale than Wellys (paint isnt great). I will try and post comparison pics at some time, as the current Vette thread. Other than Brookfield /Motor Max / Welly are there any others ? I've seen mention on FB of a pull back n go crew cab (modified pic below) available at Wallmart, anybody shed any light on it or a brand name ? We dont have Wallmart here in England.

I found David Molski's photobucket build, unsure where he sourced the parts ? https://s769.photobucket.com/user/davidsmolski/library/Two Lane Blacktop 55 Chevy?sort=6&page=1

Hi Gents Several years back I had an 1;18 Ertl Two Lane Blacktop 55 Chevy (& foolishly sold it on). It wasnt that accurate with Cragars instead of Daisy Mags etc. Rather than pay the crazy prices they now are advertised for, I picked up the Street Machine version (more like the Graffiti 55 & yeah I know the 1;1's were the same car....) and will be stripping and rebuilding it. As its not arrived in the post yet, but I asume its got the AG front bench seat ? Does anybody know of aftermarket suppliers of front bucket seats and big n little Daisy mag wheels and tyres ? Or any other 1;18 diecast that might have them ? I found a 67 Corvette with the wheels, but they are same size all round and the Vette cost more than the 55 !

Looks pretty darn good to me Peter. Love the weathered look and 'Joker' scars.

Thats real nice. Buddy here in the UK has a 1;1 that he is restoring. Are your decal sheets available ?

"But ya cant polish a turd" Great idea and looks real cool.
