That is expected, your a MARINE! Remember, they CAN'T put MORE than 24 hours in a day, And yes, hopefully you'll be home SOON! Semper Fi,my brother! -
Ryan, you did the Radiator right, but the Engine DOES need to be set back at least 3 to 4 inches. You also gotta dent in the firewall in about another inch for more Distributor clearance and you CAN'T use a large cap distributor. At least on a real one you do.

If you do have a Rat Packer kit, just UN alter the rear wells, It's not hard. Then use the interior an Chassis from the 66 Nova. Just use the Competition dash, and you can fake it. I was fortunate to have an extra stock interior in my stash, but the 66 interior will fit.

Roge, if your serious, I got an extra one to let go. I'm gonna keep one just to see if I can make it turn out right! Pm me if your interested.

Ed, the guy who reviewed that kit for "The Dark side' should been shot! Did you see the modifications that the guy from europe had to do to make that Bonny kit accurate/right? I don't think there was a SINGLE peice on that kit he DIDN'T modify! He cut the roof off, modded the trunk lid, the front fenders/hood ,and TOO many other things to make it worthwhile! He sent a copy of it here, so i think if you go back far enough, you could find it! He ended his reveiw by saying, "It CAN be built into a nice kit,BUT, it'll take ALOT of work on the part of the builder to do it!" Yeesh, WHAT an UNDERSTATEMENT!!! I got TWO of them BEFORE I saw his reveiw! I got 2 of the Nova Coupe kits too, but since I'm NOT buildin them stock, I can go head an chop em up if I gotta.

1/24 Revell '69 Pontiac GTO "The Judge" 2'n1
george 53 replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Guy's you CANNOT build an ACCURATE 68 from that kit, as it does NOT contain the UNIQUE for 68 ONLY dashboard! It can be built up as a 69, or a LOOKS like 68, but WITHOUT the PROPER dash, it's STILL a 69. I speak from expierience caz I bought one for the dash(i wanted to build a 68) But it wasn't in the kit. Steve, one of our forum brothers was KIND enough to give me a 68 dash for my project. But be forwarned, You CANNOT build an ACCURATE 68 from this kit! -

16.5" Ford XLT Wheel Covers.
george 53 replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Eric My MAN!!! Yeah, Daddy-O, them the ones!!! Maybe if Chuck can adapt the center hub and lugs to them they MIGHT work. I just don't know if they'd be large enough to fit into them big ol truck tires. But Yeah, Chuck waddaya think??? -
16.5" Ford XLT Wheel Covers.
george 53 replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Chuck, Revell made an old snapper Trans Am in black with caps that look per near whatcha got there. They'd need ta have that center hub and lugs attached, but the outer "spokie" area looks dead nuts to yer truck wheels. I THINK i only have one layin round here somewheres. IF i can find it, I'll send it to ya and MAYBE you could get it cast. Try Alan Raab, He's GREAT for doin one off odd ball stuff! -
WoW Marty, that interior came out GREAT!!! Looks REAL classy! Since you missed your deadline, you can finish at your leasure. Did ya ever think about the 429 Elimenator decals that come in the 69 Cougar Elimenator, to go on the hood? Just a thought.
