My build collection is 1/25, but can't find near as many 1/25 kits as 1/24. Sure revell has the 70 and Johan has some but where else can you find 1/25's.

Looking for a resin supplier of this Johan body -- if any

Is there a person that has made there own or copied the Johan version. They are getting very hard to find.

Can I use a 68 Amt RR grille in a AMT 69 GTX. Going to make GTX look like RR.

What I meant to ask - Will the AMT 69 gtx work as a RR replacement, with Harts part grille. Are the cars close enough to be the the same

Thanks for the help gentlemen. I will keeps my eyes out for Johan bodies. What about the GTX, will the make a Roadrunner look alike with the Hart's grile.

I would like to build a trio of roadrunners. AMT only offers a 68. Revell has a 69,70 but they are 1-24. My collection is 1-25. My other Mopars are also 1-25. Could I hear from Mopar fans about the difference between the the 3 years. Where to get parts and anything I should know.

Got anything to say about the kits available. 1970 Dirty Donnie, 1967 Drag-on Lady, 1967 Revell, 1970 MPC. Foose 67 I know some older kits are out there but here's a few. I asume Foose can be built stock.

Thanks for the help

Are these kits different or the same. I like to build 1 of each year - but not if they are same

Whats going to happen to all the promo rebuilding when they go out ?? I am not sure weather to by any more if you can't get parts any longer.

I know it, a 53 (last year for flathead) but what is you guys take on Lindberg's flathead. I know it was a good builder but I don't know how you experts like it. Love that 53 Ford kit.

I am looking for info for building C2 corvette models. Amt, revell and mpc. I want to build each year if possible. I know I can just get available kits but I am wondering.. The 67 Revell kit appears to be the only full chassis kit readily available and relitivly cheap. Sure their are others but at getting at least 4, it's easier. Knowing it's 1:25 like will the chassis from 67 Revell work under Amt or Mpc bodies. 1963 Easy split window and conv 1964 not so easy 1965 not so easy Monogram has 1:24 I did buy a 1:25 from Stingray (TV show)Revell 1966 not so easy 1967 Revell fastback and conv Mpc has some fastbacks but I want stock not dragstrip There are many diff vettes made for various years but not really affordable $50 or higher Is the 67 revell chassis good enough to represent all years

I have done a little more work,mostly sanding, smoothing and surround around grille. Getting ready for next thin coat of primer. I usually do this 2 or 3 time to work out all the scratches and marks I left in the body - LOL. All one color lets me see the imperfections. Looks I will these tires and rims

Thanks for all the compliments guys So far (LOL not painted yet) this has been really fun. Stupid me I found out where the hockey sticks came from - 1955 Pontiac - I did'nt know !!! Bear with me this build could take awhile. I don't have the paint I have to order it. Hope to go with Brandywine candy from HOK. Like the pics, Maybe Candy apple red. On to the grille. I have scratch built a little something. I could not find anything I like in my small stash of stuff, I used .047 music wire and bent each piece a little diff I made the retainers for the wire from styene. I will trim the retainers away and glue the tubes in when all done.

I found another pic. I googled "56 ford chopped" and ran across this.

As of last nite Better skirts

Some othe pics One more

You nailed it Joker. Funny you came up with that pic. I saw the same one and it is my inspiration for this build !!!!! My wheels are just mock-ups in the pics above.Tires are Modelhaus but may be too wide of whitewall. Not sure yet how I will paint but I love the colors. I have some more pics to post yet. I used the wrong skirts and had to change them. The grille I found was from the 58 Impale kit but It doesn't seem to have enough shape to follow the hood beak. I am still on the hunt for one that fits better.

Here is a little different 56 Ford - not to diff just styled different.

I have also built a 57 for this contest. I took a little diff approach, a little more 50's with a twang of 2000's tires and wheelsl.

I have a real 1987 but I can't find any 1st Gen Rangers. Any help out there for resin bodies.

Anyone know of one of these, somebody has cast them.

The CARBS Club from Dayton has been around since 1990. We invite anyone to join us in our fun. Most of the area clubs form Cinci club, Buckeye club from Columbus and others know of us. We will be at thier shows in March and April. Some know us as the Daddy Cats Show we have twice a year. http://www.carbsmodelcarclub.com/

I got my own hell child. I know the kit sucks anyway (Lindberg 48 Lincoln) but I just felt like commiting suicide I guess. Despite the 93 piece body (LOL) I really had no assy problems at all. I am building as many Indy Pace cars as I can otherwise i would never have built this kit. Every thing was going well till my new clear (Upol) I think I put on to heavy, 2 other models were OK. The passenger door bubbled up and the front fenders did the same. I had previous problems with the fenders and had been already painted twice. I was lucky with door I saved it and was lucky the Fred Cady decals had 2 sets of Logos, Whew. The fenders not so lucky I threw them back into the pond for about a month. I just took out about a week ago, cleaned them up a little and threw the whole kit back in the box to be finished at a later date. Been about 3 months since I first started it and may be 3 years till I go back.
