Matt, it's lookin good, the interior work looks good too.Don't worry bout the engine, ALL small blocks look the same from the outside, unless it's a late model LT-1 block, then it won't have a distributor in the back, but BEHIND the water pump!

NONE of Mongrams 55/6/7 kits are accurate.They're just as bad as Revells early 55/6/7 Chevys.Those poor kits are only good for parts, and I have NEVER seen a built up one look acceptable.They were too busy tryin to come up with "working features" to make them even slightly accurate and buildable.I still see some of those early kits goin for more bucks that they're worth. The artwork on the ORIGINAL 57 Nomad release is the only good thing about them!

Ok Fella's Some good news, It's our Fearless Leaders Birthday! Time ta show the Boss just HOW MUCH we owe him for our GREAT Magazine, and this here BEST forum inna world! Let's be good and loyal subjects and celebrate this auspicious day with him. He's still a young guy,and let's hope he'll tolerate his goofy subjects for MANY,MANY years to come! ALL HAIL THE GREAT AND MIGHTY KAHUNA, Giver of the Magazine and Forum We ALL LOVE AND ENJOY, THANKS to HIM!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gregg!

Rick, did you actually modify the Coupe body to that style(it looks GREAT) or is that the cab unit from the Lindberg kit that everyone says is a POS? If you modefied it, MAN, you dun a GREAT job, Looks like it CAME that way! You dun build you a great lookin tractor there Bro! What it gonna tow though, wit a 6 banger for juice? I think a TURBO would REALLY kick some arse! Again,GREAT job.

Grandt Line makes some BEAUTIFUL nut w/washers in various sizes that'll work for 1/25th models, and the AMT 71 Charger has a real nice lookin Carter carb. So do the Revell 68/9 Dart kits. Hope this helps.

Man,K, just how oldis that kit? I haven't seen that roof since the original edition of that kit! Just goes ta show what a nice kit it was in the first place!. You dun a GOOOOD job on it Daddy-O! (I like that vintage air cleaner!)

Well then If Harry's is comin in another 2 wks, I guess mine'll be here in 3, but that's ok, caz they seems ta be catchin up, an that's a good thing!(to quote Martha)

Ok NOW yer slackin! ONLY 47 peices? Couldn't do an EVEN 50? just 3 little lousy peices an we'd have a Jen-u-wine half a hunnert peice dash! Ok that's enough now. I like it, an Clay an Custom hearse'll, just hafta get in line, caz if I can't have Hollywood, this'n 'll do. Great job Dave, as usual!

Welcome Foxer! I saw that kit at the last show I went to. Yeah, Ray has alot of RARE stuff, but check it out closely to see if it's worth the hassle to build it. He is kinda hit an miss in his castings, but most of his stuff is workable without too much trouble. I've gotten quite a few models from him, so I'm talkin from expirence. Sometime he's the ONLY game in town! Looks like your gonna do alright there,kidd-o. Let us see some wip pics as you build yer lil Plymouth.

Ok Harry, I checked it out in the blown up(pic) mode, and all I could see to tell me was that cut out in the side glass, there looks to be a SLIDING section in it, TOO detailed for a model, to me. I go for REAL, probly wrong, it looks so nice though, I can't say, FOR SURE, but, that's my vote, an I'm stickin too it!!!

WOW, Achance ta meet the Kahunas Kahuna!You guys over onna left coast better take advantage of this! It may be the only chance to meet the "Power"behind the throne!!! Gregg, always remember, "the family that play's together, stay's together!!!

They look GREAT Alyn, That lil 32 is a KILLER! See what a little break can do for ya? Welcome Back, an Welcome to the BEST SITE in the web!

James, Modelhaus has the Hood, Air cleaner an spoiler for that kit, and they're REALLY nice peices.

You guys should see this Bad Boy up close! Mike actually let me pick it up an scope it! Pictures don't really do this car justice, it's even MORE impressive when you see it live! Mike's a REAL talented builder, an he hasn't been at it 1/2 as long as some of us!!!GREAT BUILD Mike, I'm REALLY glad you posted it! Show the 62 Catalina, so they can see what we were talkin about detailing.His Cat's a REAL nice ride too, only not as detailed,BUT JUST as nice!!!

Such a shame. Good bet by the time those cars get to be worked on,they'll just be rusted hulks. Parts'll be so hard to find an expensive,that they'll just be towed away an scrapped. I HATE hoarders. They just let stuff rust away rather than let it go to be restored.How much longer ya think that Chevelle can last without proper storage?

looks good Ed. Man that engine compartment looks like it could swallow a jet engine, it looks so big! Was the top of the line engine a 394 that year? Either way, GREAT save an GREAT build!!!!

Oh Heck yeah! I'd like ta know if'n it workd too! Looks like it might be a good investment if it does! I'll be watchin too, ta see if anyone has used it!

Caswell Plating System? What is it? Do you dip the parts, as in real chrome plating? I used to watch a freind plate stuff in his shop, and man, it was labor intensive! Ya gotta watch how long it stays in the solutions and wear ALL KINDS of protective clothing! Is this process similar? Can't see useing harsh chemicals on plastic. Sounds very interesting if it's safe,AND it works!

Just wondrin what was so wrong about the Willy's? Ithink it's a nice kit. Is it somehow not properly purportioned? It LOOKS right, And it does build into a nice kit. Plus, it can be used for some GREAT parts!

Real nice build Bern. I think you sure did capture the look you were goin for,I like it! Thats probly what most of 'em looked like back then, varieing on what the owner could afford, no doubt. Looks nice, Yep, I like it!

Aaron,If your S/O has a sensitive nose, a spraybooth is a God send! I built mine from an old 70 cfm bathroom fan, an an old microwave stand. My 1st one vented outside, my 2nd one vents into a water/charcole filter system that TOTALLY kills any fumes or smells.It doesn't need outdoor venting. But if you get one,you'll be glad you did!

Eve, I got the green 64, only mines a hardtop! Go figger?

What this now? 2/3 weeks inna row now? LOOK OUT I'm Onna ROLLL!!! Well, Harry, I guess your allowed a misstep every once inna while, they're so rare! But I was right onna money AGAIN!!!!(Happy Dance,Happy Dance!)

It IS FRIDAY!!!! isn't it? Anyhoo, I'm up,an I'm guessin Clay's up too,(Babies don't care WHAT time it is!) So we're just hangin out waitin for the H-Man, hopefully them lil birdies will chirp him awake, soon! Rise'n Shine Harry, me Laddie! We's wastein day light boy!!!! Hope you slept well.

Now THAT'S the product of a twisted mind! A Luxury Monster Truck! Well, .....Why not ? Looks good!
