  1. Revell will most likely go with a stock 442 next. The holes for the spoiler have to be opened on the truck from the bottom side, top side is smooth without the hole showing. With that being said the body is already stock as are the rear bumper and front end, Just remove the chin spoiler on the front, and a flat hood and it would be stock.
  2. I'll post pictures of all parts later today when It gets here.
  3. Tower Hobbies has them NOW, I just Ordered one total just under $32.00. I'll get it delivered May 2-4 Update It will be here April 30,2016 and was mailed out Thursday evening.
  4. And it Sold for $80.00 + $6.80 shipping.
  5. 1 day 19 hours left auction price is now at $77.19 + shipping $6.99
  6. Luck man, None of the Hobby sops I went to has any. I wish I'd have one but I'll have to wait I guess. My plans are to remove the hump in the hood and replace that area with a same sized piece from a 86 Monte Carlo's hood.
  7. There's one on ebay that started a $10.00 and is now at $59.89 with two days to go! But you'll have to bid 60 + and still might not win the Revell 83 Hearst Oldsmobile
  8. Or go with the rare windowed Hearse like this
  9. pretty well the way I bought it. Just a minor rebuild, and BMF applied
  10. 63 Oldsmobile Starfire in Yellow before and painted blue after
  11. 60 Nomad that I bought on ebay as I got it and after being re done..
  12. 60 El Camino when I got it via ebay and after
  13. I got (2) MPC 1970 Pontiac Bonneville kit's in the Mail today.
  14. If you add a modern pickup truck, And three men at the still site you'd have Discovery channel's Moonshiners! as Mark and Digger used this concept this season on the show along with Jim Tom, They first made apple rye then hazel nut rum on their 2 still set up.
  15. Nice job on that 56 Chevy!
  16. Jo han 1931 Cadillac almost the same color I painted the 1931 Cadillac Cabrolet.
  17. No vent window's? Didn't the 68 have them, I know the 69 didn't.
  18. What I think they are saying is That they are trying to catch up on the order's that they have had just before their loss of their son. It also say's that their site is open and order's are being taken,But they are letting you know that your order will take longer to fill. The death of their son was unexpected, and being such takes longer to come to terms with. Unlike the passing of both my late wife and my Dad, we knew they were going to pass, So it was easier to let go.
  19. Jada makes a die cast , And I seen a resin copy on a yahoo image search. As to who made the resin ??????? You could try to alter a Lindberg dodge dragon wagon van into a ford as the body looks simular to ford's
  20. It would be nice if the Oldsmobile would also come with a regular hood and 442 decal's
  21. Nash,Studebaker, Desoto, Auburn, Edsel, Very few Oldsmobiles as well.
  22. While frame weight might be diffrent, Keep in Mind that when Ertl made the 4070 a and the F-4270 kit they shared the frame. Thus the first issue of the Transtar II had the 4070 A frame/suspenision . The 4300 got the same frame/suspension from the second Transtar II, So using the 4300 kit would just be a frame update. One has to remember that International Harvester trucks (Transtar F Series ) ranged from 4200 up to 4370. You could also update the resin hood to the headlight design of the 4300 kit. Just by cutting the light area's out. When Ertl changed the 4270 into the 4300 they added the extra length to the hood and cut the headlight area for the new haedlights. The Extra length of the hood seem is visable on the Original 4300 release, Just check the underneath part of the hood. Also Keep in mind some of those trucks were special Ordered trucks and things were added or deleated depending on what the customer wanted.
  23. Snake, To answer your Question: I'd find any and all JoJan molds/dies and restart the JoHan brand up.
