Thanks for catching that, I'll get it changed around to correct that.

Working on this conversion of the MPC GMC Deserter kit . The cab/bed are not glued on as there are parts that need to be added to the engine bay. The suspension was cut down to non lifted stock height , and remains a 4X4. The tires/wheels come from a 90's Chevrolet Pickup since Chevrolet was using basically the same wheels as a choice back in '81. The conversion grill is from Iceman Collections , and is awsome indeed. The grill is very well detailed.

I made my Bel air 4-door from the sedan kit that is like the 150 in your photo. It's not a hard conversion to do. Cut and move the door post forward, cover the old door seam , Then scribe in the new front/back door seams. Then add the rear vent window pillar, and outside door handles.

Thanks, I think I have every main color's that Chevrolet had for 1957. One tone wise, two tone wise I know I don't as there were so many two tone color combo's. about 80% of those are the AMT Re-tooled with the opening trunks. There is one resin four door wagon, and three die cast 1/24 Nomads in with those. One Revell Bel-air sedan was converted to a four door sedan. Just have to get a resin copy of the four door Hard top. I also turned one of the AMT re-tooled into a 210 prototype that almost made it to full production that's the Prototype in the photo.

On the Bottom (last shelf of "57 Chevrolet's) the three race cars #6 , #22, #47 all are the early Amt kits (IE Pepper shaker) The brown with silver roof is a monogram, and well the Revell Sedan's are easy to spot due to the door post.

Yes I do I think IMHO that the '57 Chevrolet was the best looking of the tri fives. I have the Original tooled Amt '57 Chevrolets, The retooled Version's, The new Revell bodied copies Convertibale/ Bel air Sedan and 150 sedan. Monogram 1/24 '57 Chevrolet's And 4 of the Revell snap copies also in 1/25. Also have a couple of the old revell ones that the door's ,hood.Trunk opens on. Then there is Three 1/24 Die cast Nomads. and a Nomad Delivery customized Snap on tools Glo-mad.

Yike's Don't throw away that Pro Shop '57 Chevrolet (yellow car on the box) ! That is one of the best detailed '57 Chevrolet model's going, In fact I have over 40 of those Retooled '57 Chevrolets built here. Those pro shop retooled copies come with real rubber hoses, bumper dagmars, and the photo etched parts! Not to mention plug wire as well! Of course I have nearly 70 built 1:25- 1:24 '57 Chevrolet's

100% 1970 Impala kit in that '69 box. The dead giveaway is that the front fender's are cut in for the front bumper, Unlike the '69 i the added photo

MPC should have done the Chevrolet Pickup's from 1981- 87 . Either in Scottsdale or Silverado. with the options of 4X4 , two wheel drive, short box, long box and step side's

The only one real issue with this kit that bugs me is the Chrome suspension part's front and rear.

Hobby Lobby today: MPC GMC Deserter, and AMT '63 Impala. Plus they finally had the model master paints reduced so I bought 5 can's of spray and three bottles. MM spray paints: 1913 flat green, 1923flat gunship gray, 28128 Chevrolet Nassau blue,290205 Artic blue Met, and 2938 racing Orange. MM bottle's : Skin tone, rust, And Ford /GM engine Blue.

found and had the only bid on them on Ebay! Surprised the me that no one else had bid on it, nor did it have any one watching other then me.

Since I am in the process of making the MPC "Deserter" GMC into not only a two wheel drive pickup, but a '81 Chevrolet as well. I have read on here about using a chevy van kit for the two wheel drive conversion. Then it struck me why not see if a '88-94 Chevy C-1500 parts would work. So I took a short bed 90's promo, and unscrewed the chassis to check into if it would fit. The body/bed fit right down on that promo chassis like they were made for each other! the wheels line up perfectly under the '84 GMC cab/bed. So I found an sealed '90 step side C-1500 that will become the needed parts for the two wheel drive '81 Chevrolet pickup. I bought a copy of Ice mans Collections '81 Chevy pickup gill to complete the conversion from GMC to Chevrolet Photo's show what it looks like on the promo chassis

Got the MRC Texaco gas pumps with island today (unbuilt copies).. The Width of the pumps look right, but the height is way to tall . So I cut em' down some before building them.

Decatur Indiana flea market which is held only once a month. I bought these from four different vendors. The '63 Galaxie friction promo $25.00, the 60 Ford 4 door promo $3.00, the '96 collectors corvette $3.00 and the '74 Cuda plus '88 Camaro $10.00 each

I know Revell had some kits that were brittle from the start back in the 1980's . One was the '57 Nomad (1/25 ) and a chevy pickup kit . Both were molded in a bronze color. A friend of mine when we were in high school gave me a Revell '57 nomad kit he had got for a gift. He did build model's anymore, and knew I did plus that I liked '57 Chevrolet's. Kit was opened but the parts were factory sealed. Any time I tried to remove a part from the sprue it would shatter like thin glass.

He Guest stared on; Mr Ed, Little house , murder she wrote, the big valley, Donna reed, Hawaii 5-O, and was a young man John Wayne shot in the Movie El dorado. Plus he made a gust appearance in one on the Kenny Rogers Gambler movies Playing Mark McCain. That movie also had Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain, and Gene Barry as Bat Masterson.

I have a copy on pre order with Tower Hobbies, and I'm thrilled to see that Round2 did a major expansion on the decal's to include the stripes for the box art copy!

A couple of month back I won an Ebay auction for two '64 Oldsmobile's . One Promo, and one Original kit. Both were worth saving so the Promo was first, and while the Original kit provided the passenger seat it was still missing the complete windshield frame. That was supplied by a recently reissued '65 GTO kit, And seeing how the Original kit was not only missing the hood as well as the passenger seat. So Again the '65 GTO gave up parts such, as the Interior tub along with the front seat's. While the Original kit retained the Oldsmobile's dash. Then I got the newly reissued '64 Oldsmobile Via Ebay in the mail today. So I was able to use some of the custom racing parts on the Original kit to do a complete save of it. Now I have all 3 Oldsmobile's Finished. Yes I built the new copy in around 7 hours. Added photo's of the two restored as they were when I bought them off Ebay.

I got the new reissue of the '64 Oldsmobile today around 10:30 am., I used some of the custom parts to save an Original '64 Oldsmobile kit that I bought which were a two for one deal a promo , and Original kit.

If you watched the final episode "old Tony" he plays the guitar and sing's Greensleeves.

John "Johnny" Crawford was first a Mouseketeer, then became Mark McCain on the rifleman, he was an actor singer, Musician, and band leader.

My copy came in the mail today, And I ordered it from an ebay seller just two days ago. One issue with this kit is that the tires are quite loose on the wheel's (rim front and wheel back's.
