I am not a big truck builder, but I had one that I ruined as a kid. I might get one for nostalgia.

Great resto! Nice updates and the color is really nice! I like the wheels too.

Super job! Nicest build of that model I have ever seen!

They are usually common kits that have been done a bunch of times, so I think they can turn a profit on them even with the licensing fees. I agree that they mostly appeal to the collectors market. I doubt they are jacked up price wise at model shows and if they are, they wouldn't sell.

Wow! Nice build. We had a green '72, I will eventually build a model of it based on memory. I can't seem to find any family pics of it. I think my dad only had it for a few years. The Ford was used and he bought a new Dodge in 1978.

I am sure you could put the '65 wheels on a '66 if you wanted. I know there were some things carried over on the early '66 cars from the '65s. Whose to say you couldn't have a set of those wheels? These cars were a little more personalized than factory built stuff. I agree they are way nicer than the 10 spoke ones.

Look's great so far!

Nice job!

Great pics, Thanks!!

I usually listen to The Jim and Sam show or Bennington, which are on XM/Sirius. I listen to them on youtube through my laptop for free. I also like Marc Maron and Jim Florentine's podcasts.

I agree, I don't know him and I am not doing a commercial for him, but he is top notch! Hope to see those motors built and in your "shop"!

Can't pick just one, LOL!

Here are some of my favorites: Street Rodder and Neet Streeter are my favorites from when I was a kid, and Pass'n Gasser and the '55 Gasser are pretty cool newer castings.

More engines: Ah, I see you found topgaskz , he's my go to guy for parts on ebay. I recognize the packaging. I have a few thing arriving from him in a day or two!

Beautiful work!

Great work, love the B and R model Macks! They made them in my neck of the woods, so they were every where when I was a kid. Now not so much, lol!

Great looking Firebird. Love the wheels, nice color too!

Wow! awesome build!

Very nice job! You nailed the look perfectly. Those Acme/GMP kits are nice, but not easy!!

Nice!

Great work, love the motor!

Love this model !! So much to look at! Love what you did with the dash and all the details come together to make this a super build!

Anybody have a suggestion for a set of tires for the 1/24 Monogram/Revell 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340? I want to build the car stock. The T/A and AAR Cuda had larger rear tires from the factory, so I am wondering what is out there in 1/24 to make this look right? The stock tires it comes with might be ok for the back, but you would need smaller ones for the front. If you use the stock ones for the front, you could use the BIG street machine tires Monogram has included in the 2 in 1 kits for the rear, but they look way too big to me. I know that people are using the AMT big and little tires from the parts packs on the new AAR Cuda kits, but the are 1/25. If I can't find a suitable tire combo, I am thinking I might be able to fake the look by slightly dropping the front end and using the kit stock tires. Any thoughts or help appreciated!

My question is, how much can you actually make turning these kits so quickly? Maybe sell a few at $15? Will you sell all of them? With ebay fees and your time factored, how much are you making? You probably could do better parting them out, but again, your time and fees. Maybe if you sit on them and turn them in a few years when it gets harder to find them. But then you have to store them until that time. I guess you can hustle them at a local car show or flea market, but most people who are looking for models know what they are looking at. Just seems like a lot of trouble for small return.

I hope they make this, and it would be fine with me if it was just static, without the motorized stuff. Hopefully, that would take any problems off the table. These would be great for the Monogram T's and 32's especially with all the extra intake options.
