Nice bunch dude.there is no flea market here close.but so true....buy to biuld...not to collect.that is me to.build'em...take car. ..Chris

Here's how the rear axle looks in the finished model, I agree it's a little undersized but you can't see that it's hollow once it's all together. Two suggestions if you can't live with it is you could swap out the rear axle from the Polar Lights 65 Dodge Coronet. It's the same style but a little larger. I think that one's also molded hollow. The Lindberg 64 Plymouth or Dodge's would also work but I believe those kits have the Dana style rear axles. Both kits are pretty common to find if you don't have them already. Steve Steve thanks for showing what it looks like built.i decided to make my own mods to it.filling in the areas i want different...like the real one is.I have most of it done now.still working on the pinion top side...getting there.I will be drilling holes after I cut the snap pins off for the wheels...its fun to me.If you know...is this a representation of the 8 3/4 rear axle that was in these cars with the 426 wedge motor?

Dudes....love this thread. ..great pictures.

I just recieved some from Dan as well...smokin products..just love my stuff from him and now I see first hand the parts..I willbe getting lots more...thanks dude.

What is the problem with the kits...I must not have heard.

Thanks for the info.I'm not gripping I like this kit.but like everything in life,nothing is perfect.the rearend looks small to me.what would be agood exchange from another kit? and from what I see its a 8 3/4 rear axle.I'm as well going to change parts about the rear axle and suspension. shaft has to be fixed.yes the wheel attachment pins I will remove and fix that part as well,if I use this rear axle.there is no seperation lines in the leaf springs..I may build my own leafs.my biggest question is there a better rear end from another kit to use? thanks guys......Chris

I would love higher parts count kits or skill level go up to 4.most of the kits saying pro modeler were repackaged kits with afew extra parts.if Revell,AMT or any of the other company's would design from ground up a kit.I would be interested in it.Galaxy kits are difficult to come by.you order them.I want to see them on a shelf..not having to order it.I never saw the model ever on a shelf.I'm not intetested ordering and being unhappy with kit.after receiving the kit.I love seeing higher detailed kits.I also will snap kits.and detail them the most I can with what it gives you.modeling is fun to me.

hi all,As said. I uust bought a 65 Satellite. was going through the parts,noticed that the rearend looks small and has no top the the rear axle center like alot of monogram reatends are.how to fix the problem and does anyone else think so...thanks....Chris

I just saw today, that archer transfers has a new sheet with all different sizes of confederate flag decals I know this is terrible of my Ben...but do you have a link to acher...love your Idea and it will turn out great.I like most of the rest of us watched the dukes. but I've never really wanted to build the general lee.I didn't like the tires or wheels and the antenna, an push bar.I'm going to build a street version of the general lee...same decals,paint color...but a street version.so I'm interested in the decals and where to get them from?..take care dude....Chris

That is so cool Dan...nasty question...was there a 65 crewcab?

I believe the Cragar wheel in MRC kits are not 15 10 inch reverse rim..I believe there 8inch reverse..I make my own out of tge MRC kits....Chris

So true.I have a few 66 Olds that I could use.I don't have the 66 GTO...I mite look at that one to use on the chassis for the 64 GTO. I have the model now for the GTO 64...was you modeling or around when AMT kitted the Lemans,GTO in 64? if so my friend Ken Falletta told me that was the best...most accurate body...is thay true in your opinion? ....thanks,Chris

I would buy one but I don't know I would build it..I would love a 1973 74 Chevrolet Nova.I would love a 1973 thru 77 Chevrolet or GMC C or K 30 or 35 crewcab dually ...but most anything is great to me.

Bill, on the chassis plate what is a good detailed substitute for this kit?..thank you..Chris

Does anyone have instructions for this kit..I believe its a Revell 1969 Corvette. ..thank you for any help.

I have a bunch of both..f 2674 an f 2575...I'm with ya as well.I would love to buy a few more of both..don't care about the chrome or or long frame rails either.what was the inaccuracies of both kits.its been more years then I care to say sense I looked or built one?...Chris

Thank you all.this talk and pictures have been very helpfull.here is the body and chassis. body is just gotten out of the purple pond. the chassis still struggling on getting off the psint.I think its the Revell kit...Chris

I found out through your help..its a AMTconvertible with a big block and two tops a rag and hardtop.manual trans and stock or factory wheels.the original body plastic color is red.anyone with box art? and thank you all for the help....Chris

is this the one that had a cloth style roof and the top that is hard and a big block in it?.I have a buildup that I'm rebulding.I want to see stock box art,instructions and decals.I've saw them w/sm block and big block.what is the history of this kit?..thank you..Chris

hi all, I have a question about AMT's version of the corvette.how many years did they make the corvette between 68 and 78.I have a buildup that I want to know more about.like the parts inside,box art,instructions and decals....thamk you for any help.

LOL...I hate that question.more then I care to know.my wife doesn't say no..I have to tell me no...which I do.

LOL...love all the older kits and the dudes building...thanks for the info and pictures.

I'm with you.I want more kits.so I'm happy about.no matter the problems....I build what I want out of it anyways....do I just fix the problems I don't like don't agree or like...just need more kits.
