  1. Nice! Great stance and the under hood detail is outstanding!
  2. I agree, Thanks Scott!
  3. Nice work on that frame! Looking good!
  4. Excellent job! Great color choice! I like the multi-tone interior.
  5. The original issues did not always have the same color as the box either. I had the Monogram Charger "The Fiend", first issue with the body tin. I think the box art was red or orange and the body was molded in a gross dark olive green. I was a young kid and very disappointed, so my dad spray painted it blue for me, I still have it!
  6. The Monogram 1970 GTX and Superbird have a 440 6 pack in 1/24 scale. The Amt 1969 GTX and 1970 Super Bee have the same in 1/25.
  7. Wow! Another absolute stunner! Beautiful color combination!
  8. I like it. Things were different back then. My dad was working at a Dodge dealer in the early to mid 70's and he told me that custom paint could be done as long as they could provide a paint code and the cost was something like an additional $50 to the cost of the vehicle.
  9. Super job! It is so hard to do stuff in 1/20 scale, but this is probably the best hot rodded Hubley model I have seen. Love the color too.
  10. That's really cool! I really like what you did with the moon tank and front end, much better than it is box stock. The group photo is neat also!
  11. Eventhough I did not know him, this hit almost as hard as when you find out about a friend you have known for some time. He was such a great writer and as so many have said, made you feel like you knew him. It is just a terrible thing. I really enjoyed the blog he was doing and looked forward to seeing the emails when they popped up. Condolences to his family and friends.
  12. Oh. My info said the separate kits were 1965 and the Wild One was 1966. I saw it on the internet, so it must be true... ? Well, serves me right for trying to be a know it all, when it doesn't really matter anyway!?
  13. The recently issued AMT '29 kit is the MPC kit and I am guessing the new one will be the same with Coke decals added.
  14. That's not the original issue. The original issues were 2 separate kits: Issued around 1965
  15. Looks like it held up pretty well for 37 years! Nice job! The Daytona body looks good as a Pro Street car.
  16. Very cool little models, your restos look great! A little trivia: LineMar Toys were Marx toys manufactured in Japan to reduce costs, I believe.
  17. A LaSalle transmission in 1/25 would be great! That complete 1/16 Olds engine is really cool also!
  18. Wow! Outstanding! Super paint,! Chassis and engine are fantastic! Stellar model!
  19. I don't know, but the other part I forgot about is "cloned". Maybe that is how those parts are being added. FWIW, There is an awb chassis in the Tempest, Nova, Mustang, Falcon and Cyclone, which are all recent reissues.
  20. Looks great! Your builds are always very inspiring! The stance is perfect and the swapped parts are dead on! I am not a fan of T-buckets either, but this one is definitely cool!
  21. Given the info we have in front of us, the fact that the subject has supposedly been mentioned and we will "freak out" (perhaps a reference to a street freak or awb type kit) I would say it is "the Streaker" AWB Olds kit. This makes sense given the fact that the majority of parts are already available with the reissue of the 442 and convertible '64 kits. My second guess would be the '65 Chevelle AWB, which would be super awesome. Either one would be great in my book, but I would really love to have the Chevelle again. I foolishly sold mine in the early days of ebay and they are very pricey now.
  22. Well, you are in luck! At least as far as the funny cars are concerned.....Atlantis is reissuing them. I see the Camaro, Charger, Duster and Mustang are available for preorder on ebay now. The Vega, Pinto, Gremlin and Mustang II are supposed to be coming in the near future. It would be cool to see the Streeto Vandito, Vanana Split and the emergency versions of those available again too!
