This is so well done it actually looks stock! VERY nice job. You did a GREAT job of blending EVERYTHING to flow together! Outstanding job, right down to the color!

Mike, Ya CAN'T take the XanaX with the coffee!!! ya gotta chill homie, Harry'll get here when he gets here. But yeah, he IS kinda takein his time donchaknow! WAZZUP HARRY?????? UP an ATTEM, Daddy-O!

Looks good,Jim! Thanks for the good words about the Corps! Been a LONG time out, but the pride remains, and ALWAYS will! SEMPER FI!!!

As long as it DON'T run into you, you'll be alright,Primo!!! Aye te miro!!!!

Alan Raab HAS made a name for himself with ME, as far as I am concerned! He is one of the coolest ,easiest to get along with resin casters that I've met inna LONG time! I've sent him masters after we spoke about some ideas i had. He agreed, and cast them up for me! Now their in his product line. He's got the ONLY GM Toronado/Eldorado front wheel drive Trans-axles on the market! Plus he has the VERY limited "66/ 76 "Strato Backed" BENCH seat too( It's a FULL sized bench seat with Strato Bucket seat backs) they were standard in Caprices, an the Pontiac "Grand Ville" NICE seats. ALL of Alans stuff is PREMIUM quality! He DON'T cast NO junk!!!!! If you deal with Al, you can rest ASSURED your gonna get a QUALITY product!!!

Holy shamoly, Kev, I forgot you just came out with that 70!!! Well then, there's choices Bran! and the nice thing about it is haveing seen Kevin's casting, I can tell you it IS TOP NOTCH!!! ;)

Ohhhhhh This is just TOO COOL!!! THIS IS a MOOKIE DOOK!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nawwww Jim, I go "Au natural". I like to paint my wifes nails though. GREAT practice for stayin INSIDE the lines!!! :D

CVS, Walgreens, and Rite-Aid, often have sales on them. Sometimes as cheep as a buck. My daughter buys them for me when she sees them on sale, so I gotta few REALLY nice colors. Haven't ACTUALLY PAINTED with them yet, but when I get around to it, I got them rascals!!!! :lol:

Mike, if they come out as nice as your Turbo's, I'm in for a coupla sets!!!

Simon, I don't think that they are in buisness any longer. At least I have not seen any advertiseing for them in quite a few years. But, I may be wrong, Anybody else know about them?

Sam, it sure is nice to see the old Silhouette? built up again. It's been a LOOOOONG time since I've seen one built. Yours came out GREAT! That lil fiddy ate ain't none too shabby either!!! Great job!!! :lol:

Well them Ohio Border Guards sure had YOUR number down! I wonder if they wasn't just MICHIGUN profilein?!?! :D

Len are ya gonna hafta mod the interior to fit the tubs? I think them big ol tires look alot better when the interior isn't chopped up. Looks good so far!

Glad ya got back safely,Jeff! Hope it went well for ya! you an Kev AND Kris goin to Sylvania aren't you? Hopefully I'll see yaz there! :D

Imma gon go wiff REAL!!!

Brandon, no conversion kits are available as far as I know. You'd have to change the entire front end,as the two used totally different sheetmetal from the front doors forward. Modelhaus, and Time Machine resins both make a 70 Charger body to use with the old MPC General Lee. But I think the AMT 68/69/70 RoadRunner,GTX, and SuperB's Chassis would be a much better way to go.Hope this helps. :)

Jim, I bought the re-issue that came out several years ago, from the revell SSP series. I opened it up when i got home, and man, the memories sure came back! It's nice to be able to build (some of) those old cars from my childhood. ;)

My first model CAR was Revells 56 Chrysler. I was 6 and my big brother bought it for me. It had the seperate sides, roof, trunk, and hood. It didn't go together very well, but it was my first one. That was April 1st, 1959, my 6th birthday. I've been steady building ever since.

Mike, you did a WONDERFUL thing for that child, and I'll bet he'll remember you for the REST of his life! "No GOOD deed goes unrewarded!"

Rod has TOO MUCH class and is TOO mature to get physical over MODEL CARS! But he DID remember what these UNFUNNY clowns looked like, and he'll probably stay away from bad news rather than associate with it. (But ya SHOULDA just smacked the Bastiges,Zuke!!! )

WOW! I haven't seen THOSE in a million years! I remember them being advertised in the old Car Modeler magazine. Those are cool if nothing else, just to look at! What ever happened to Richard Carrol? I remember seein alot of his builds in those days.

Gary, never haveing seen the interior of the 59 kit, i honestly couldn't tell you. BUT they were almost the same on the REAL cars, and as long as you don't mind MAYBE grinding on some resin, it think you could very possibly get it to fit. After all, it IS only Plastic/Resin.

Already got Mikes Turbo's an they're NICE!!! Gonna get me some of them Centrifical Superchargers when they're ready! Mike casts some REALLY nice stuff. Check him out!!! :)

Gary, Jimmy just put the Quicksilver roof on the R/M 60 Chevy. I have one, only paid 10 bucks for it at our yearly toy show. It does mount pretty easily on that chassis. You WILL have to mod the interior to make it a delivery van, but the rest of the R/M chevy parts fit pretty good. Just the usual type of work needed that you'd put into any resin conversion . It DOES build up nice. :)
