  1. Heres something else, the median price of cars from 55-75 changed little after 1980 they tripeld the cost. my parents had to have the computer replaced 2x on one of their cars costing a bundle.
  2. Heres something to chew over watch tucker a man and his dream. many of todays safety ideas came in 1948! Oldsmobile had air bag opt in the early 70's on a few of their cars
  3. If memory serves me right amt retooled a 57 chevy add the bare metal with it and the pro shop came w/photo etched parts and rubber hoses. back in the late 60s early 70s a few corvette kits had real springs
  4. I think that its unfair to say that all car builders cheap some of us here have a fixed and or low imcome. and simply cant afford higher costing kits.
  5. Even if my wife could afford a new car or pickup we would not waste that much money on something that cost to much when it goes wrong. to have fixed.
  6. G.M. X- FRAME STARTED WHITH THE 58 TILL THE LAST YEAR BEING 64. NOW WITH THAT SAID if the car I was driving last friday was newer it would have been totaled.
  7. that depends on what year 63-74 have frame cancer we had a 64 in school the body and int were like new but the frame rotted into! gm.s x-frame wasnt a good choice that impala wouldnt make it with a 66 impala
  8. most of us know that gm's x frame setup isnt like a strait box frame.
  9. If I had that kind of money I'd buy a real car . a 57 chevy and still have alot leftover.

  11. In my own defence I have bought both 66 wagons and el camino as big lots had the wagon for 6.99 I had to buy the el camino to get the stock parts thats how revell makes more money
  12. I have built 2 of them never had that problem if you have the 66 wagon the dash from one would work otherwise trim the sides down a tad.
  13. I agree they should of put in stock tire . with that said if they ever reissue the 66 chevelle wagon,I hope they issue it with stock wheels and hood from the 66 el camino.
  14. I haue the 90's issue cut out the engine and put the 66 cheuelle wagons motor and tranny ..I want the new one so I can kit-bash it with the 99 chevy pu
