    Story goes i use to own this kit when i bought it for 5 bucks at the flea market and someone looked like they shoved a Nascar engine in it, so i begun to paint it red and went to tape it for the stripes but wound up cutting through the tape and into the paint So since then the kit as vanished in between all my moves around this country and i found this at hobby lobby and said to myself "Redemption will be Mine!" This time i started cleaning up alot of flash from Round 2's aging molds and noticed its molded in white which is great, Very little cleanup on the body except for 1 little spot which looks like it was still soft when it came out of the molds? 1. Not alot of parts it looks like involved with this kit? (Of course the one i had years ago had a Nascar engine shoved in it?) 2. Parts cleaned up rather well for Round 2's typical old molds and ready for first prime 3. The part of the body that looked a little warm when it came out and the part im going to have to fix

    Today was a good day, Got some work done for the Lord in his Community Garden that i head, So celebrated a bit with some new plastic! The Escalade was $19 bucks and some change from Michaels since i found a 40% coupon... Now to find 2 99 Silverado kits to start my REDEMPTION on my 04 dually i was building till i moved and sadly lost all those parts, 2nd is another Redemption of a 70 chevelle i got at hobby lobby for the same price as the escalade with theyre 40% from when i bought this chevelle kit for $5 bucks at a flea market and started to paint stripes on it but cut through the tape into the paint not knowing anything since i was a teenager... Sad that kit is long gone with a bunch of others in between all the moves i made.... And i know The Snake is mad at me since they have the Barris 65 riv kit that i DIDN'T bring home SORRY!!!

    Im trying to find inspiration to build my 84 desserter kit and you said you used the chevy van's suspension... How much cutting/grafting did you have to do or is it what i think it is? the actual suspension from the original 2wd truck? and did the suspension come from amts nypd police van kit or is that the same as the one you used???

    Speaking of the amt coca cola issue, Is there any BAJA aftermarket parts or anything for it anywhere? even maybe a Porshe engine to adapt to the rear transaxle? I have an idea ive been meaning to scratch but cant find any aftermarket support or anything on this kit

    Looking good, Not sure but if you want to get it color matched take the cab to a paint supply store for automotive paints and they have a machine they can then try to determine "Exact/Close enough for Gov't work" color(s) to look for? I wonder what i did with my Cornbinder project? I was doing some custom stuff to it then disappeared b/w moves???
