  1. not that hard to make it near stock I've done it it was posted on the forum last year. Body is still in the molded blue, I didn't have the heart to paint it a diffrent color. These cars were closer to a regular car than the nascar cars of today.
  2. Model roundup say's Revell sold out of this trailer and already disscontuned it.
  3. Didn't you forget the retooled 57 chevy's? and 70 Monte Carlo?
  4. 1 caprice depending on how it looks, Will the hood be sealed shut? Will windows be supplied with it as well?
  5. Basically a two door Cosica, They are good cars
  6. Is that O or H.O. scale? Like the 60 chevy in the scean
  7. 1/25 Chevy or (ford) or Ertl models, AMT, Revell and so on. You can also go with something like 1/25 57 ford models. Gluebombs or model junkyard
  8. look for the grand national buick kit.
  9. Check yahoo images( 1960 chevy crew cab pickup)
  10. Yes they made a 60 crew cab.
  11. Looks to be a 1952 Pontiac chiefton
  12. That is factual info there, I have the 75th anniversery book And that is the info from that book. All G.M. cars had to design its divisional auto's around the 59 buicks door and roof.
  13. Any of the International truck parts, IE engines, transmissions, stacks, fuel tanks,cab's and or sleepers, hoods, frames, ect.
  14. Really? bad keselowski and joey lablameo? No thanks don't care for cheating wine baby car driver's I'll wait for better cars and drivers.
  15. Pontaic G.T.O 1964-74,, Oldsmobile 442-1970-75,Buick GSX 69/70, Chevrolet laguna 74-76,Monte Carlo 70-87, Impala SS 67-72
  16. Steroid use also is cheating! Pete Rose had a gambeling addiction,so that's not cheating. Shoeless Joe Jackson took the money,but din't throw any games. a fact backed by his game stats, yet got for cheating. A rod used drugs and still in the sport, and the new commish say's gambling is worse than Steriod enhanced cheating? Who know's how many NFL reff's have been paid off to blow call's? The Cleaveland brown's would have been in the super bowl in the 80's , Webster slaughter was clearly in bounds when he caught the ball in the game against the then oilers. Officials called him out of bounds costing Cleveland the game. And ending their hopes for a superbowl. Cheating is everywhere, Nascar is full of bad kelwoski's and cheatgano. Penski racing and others have been fiened many times.
  17. And you missed The AMT/ERTL Coca- Cola 57 chevy which is the same as the Yellow and the coral new tool versions.
  18. Like most new cars it's down right ugly and looks about like all the newer BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH with the large bottom grill even the mustang suffers from this ugly yokahoma looking junk.
  19. The kit was based on a 92 Caprice wagon that runs around here in Van Wert Ohio. the chrome strip had damage near the rear bumper, and the door hanles are blacked out on it as well. And their roof rails matched the body color, Maybe it was orderd that way? Thre is a buick Roadmaster wagon at a used car lot here but it's in need of a transmission work, body is decent though and has the woodgrain on the sides. I wish that Revell would take these two cars and make plastic kit's of them(full detailed) , They could be one of the first 4 in ones. With options like, Factory stock plain without wood grain, factory stock with wood grain, police,fire dept,taxi and customized . All they would have to have are actually two diffrent sets of tires four diffrent rims, decals and the lights/taxi light for the service cars.
  20. Anyone else rember these Monogram snap tite kit's of the 70's? Dragsters in a plasic 16 oz pepsi or 7*up bottle. Must be hard to find now ,show em' if you got them.
  21. The 4270 (4200) #2 in the international model line for ertl, #1 Transtar 4070A #3 1466 farm tractor all were first issued in 1973. although the 4270(4200) kit was around till as late as 79, it was out of production. The molds were changed over to the 4300, this is easy to spot on the first 4300 (yellow molded) hoods. If one looks at the underside of the original issued 4300's hood they will see where the extra length was added to the 4270(4200) hood. On another note there was two diffrent issues of the transtar II, So ertl acually made three IH transtar cabovers! When ertl changed the 4070 a into the transtar II the air ride suppension was carried over, The later edition went with the hendrick walking beam suppension. Which got shared with the 4300.
  22. Three more pictures can bee seen in my profile gallery.
  23. Bought a modelhaus 92 caprice wagon, heres the finished product.
  24. My first Car was my older sisters 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme with an olds 350 in it. ( Monte Carlo rear window design) Loved it , BUt wished I would have gotten my older brothers car that my oldest sister gave him after she went in the army. She got it from my Grand mother in 1978, A very low mileage 1966 Pontiac Tempest with the OHC 6.
  25. I have had a few bad cans of testors spray paint's but I have been having more problems with their bottled paints. I have had three bottles that I used once or twice then the paint jelled and got hard, Yet I have four bottles of Pectra from the early 70's that is still good to use. The bad colors that hardened were kept closed and stored with the rest of the bottled paint's. The three Colors were turn singnal amber, saphire blue met, and red. I have had this issue in the past as well with other colors from testors. Anyone else?
