Rember when you drove your Dad's car then this happened? When it happened to me, the car I was driving My Dad's car was a 78 Caprice Classic 2dr. I'd just about got across the street when I was hit on the passenger rear Quarter panel . comments on the model and If you wrecked your dad's car are welcome

I just seen one on the September 2, 2014. round 2 release date September 2014.

Just starting this build. First thing to be done The grill. Before and after
-
It's funny that no one mentioned that under the hood is two batteries, As far as I rember Gasoline engines only need one.

Yep, it can be hard to change a race car but , It's easier to do to a early to mid 70's then 79 up. I plan on building a second one but paint the body this time. This first one is blue because I liked the shade of blue it was in.

thank's for all the kind comments

I know what you mean, I wished they would have made the Scout Traveler as well. An 1980 scout is a easy conversion to do by just changing the grill and the head lights. Ertl did have several scout kits out which included Super scout , off road, and ralley. The topless door less one was the super scout, a rear kit indeed to find.

Quick silver/ Bad actor Johan Ambulance Revell' s 53/54 SMP 60 impala wagon Revell's 66 chevelle wagon -
picture search shows the 283 as either red or orange as Chevy may have had a mid year engine color change. But then again in factory photo's in 1959 you will see a lot of the v-8's red and the six cly in a blue paint. The 57 Convertible that I'm building will have the engine in red. Although it seem's to me that any of those three colors would be correct. As it will be up to the builder on the choice of engine color.

EDSEL Chevy
-
If I rember right that yellow engine was a FORD product and not Chevy. At least that's the color AMT/ERTL painted the 58 EDSEL engine on the pre-painted kit with white valve covers.

I bought one this week at a hobby shop for a mear $24.00 + tax. It started out white but now looks like this I found that the head light chrome lacks detail so I swiped a set from a retooled amt 57 Chevy (they fit perfectly on the revell.) My only real gripe with the kit would be the bottom is from the 56 chevy kit ( I know this because the 56's firewall, radiator , engine are included in this kit. BTW Revell call's the Stock rear bumper and the stock air cleaner CUSTOM? the Other back bumper would have been a option that you could have chosen back then. Even with this It's a great kit and I for one am glad Revell issued it.

Will GM's problems ever end?
ranma replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
small steel tube's rusting, that's a fact for anyone who has a car in area's of the country that has snow, salt, and such. My brothers ford's body was rusted badly and it was a 2005! most people who live in the north know's to expect rust and should keep tabs of any chassie components. Really brake line is not all that exspensive to buy and replace. you can buy Green coated bendable brake line and fittings for less than $100.00. I replaced the rusted brake lines on my 88 Chevy for around $50.00 and had the lines changed in under 2 hrs. It's not hard to do. Should GM be held liable for brake lines? why Ford wasn't held liable for their frames rusting out! Again small steel tubes that are in close contact with the ground and weather. Did the report say where the vast majority of pickup's and suv are located? -

HONDA ANNOUCES 1 MILLON CAR RECALL, DUE TO AIR BAGS. THE same air bags that GM recalled! The report also stated many more recall's are likely from other automakers that had gotten the same air bags. -
It's a decent Kit but if you want more detail you can use the engine, and all from the revell 66 impala kit as the parts fit very well. the only parts you would not use from the revell kit would be the body,interior,Chrome and clear parts. As I said these two kits combine to make one awesome 76 caprice. BTW the trailer still comes with that kit.

Funny, I bought four of the promo's for a whole $10.00 each. Two red two green Now I only have a red one left, but I'm keeping it! we have a farm toy show in Van Wert ohio every September. That's where I bought mine , The fella had two cases of them . Most likely he will be at the show again this year , and will be selling them again! Anyone who lives in the quad state area could get to Van Wert Ohio for this show! they have lost of neat things to see and buy.

It upset's me to see how anyone can make fun of anyone for spelling error's. I can't spell as well as I want to, But that's because I have L.D. Did it ever cross anyone's mind that Maybe that person had a stroke? or other issue that would cause the misspelling and such. Well I agree with IMPCON about what he said. I know him very well, Please don't judge him because of his spelling errors. As he said it's a forum for models not to complain about spelling issues.
