Two of the better Parts sellers are Vintage Model Parts, and Floyd 426 RT They both start the parts low. But Yes they do go HIGH many times!! I have bought Many parts from Floyd. Got a 62 Galaxie Convedrtible box with some parts. Only Bid!! I don't care about the Custom parts, But I got the Chrome tree with FOUR Mint Stock Hubcaps/Wheel Covers!!!!! I have a Turista Turismo that Needs those!!!! I have 3 Fender Ornamenbts, and 7 Dog-Dish caps for the 63 F-100 All from Floyd, and all at LOW cost!! I have lost the hood for a 61 Bonneville MANY times from Both sellers as they Never stay below $15.oo or so I believe I can get a Resin one from Modelhaus for less than Half that!!!! I will still watch evilbay You CAN get a Decent, even GREAT price on that Hard to replace part. You just have to hit the Correct auction!! I have 6 BOXED Aurora ALF 900 Pumpers All bought for less that $35.oo each And at least 3 of those have Extra parts!! I think I have 2 Complete Extra Cabs between all 6 kits Yes Many have Loose Parts, But NONE were Incomplete!!! Also I got a 65 Galaxie Convertible in a box lot of Builts. Paid $20.oo something for the Lot!! As every one here knows, Set your Price, and Laugh at the Fool that pays More than you want to!!!

I have the "Elegance Srires" issue of this GTO Yes Molded in Yellow And with Electric Blue Windows!! It could Not be built Stock out of the box!!! Rims were "Johnson Bridged Hub Mags" only (That is what they are labeled on the box!!) Also Stock exhaust manifolds were not included Only the custom Headers. I took the stock parts from a Tan plastic Ertl issue Then decided to turn that one into the Safari Wagon so had to get another to replace the parts I took for the Wagon conversion!!!! I am not sure how I will complete the Elegance issue It still has the sunvisors on the windshield header, so a Good convertible is possible here, while All after have lost them after the Modified Stocker wreck!! Interior is Not as well engraved as the original either. It is usable, but could be better

Same here I have a Model King issue of the 72 Blazer I am making 2-wheel Drive Can't Find that one All the others including all the matching 67-72 Chevy/GMC pickups are all together!!!! But that One, NO!!! Also a Jo-Han Cadillac Ambulance I did as a High-top is misplaced And another I converted to a Sedan Would Love to find them and show them off

I just checked Both H-L J & Hobby Search and Neither have the kits I got "NO Match Found" on both using the title of this thread It Should have given me the kit links, but, No

I would Love the Police version and the first shown with the Woody decals I Think this wagon Was sold here, but might still have worn the Datsun name then. Though not sure on model name and yes, I wish it was 1/32, but......................

Surprising since the H/O stripes were actually Gold Metallic on the original issue!!! Glad I have one!!!

what about laying a piece of clear tape over the letters while still on the fret, then cut them off then lay them in place using the strip of tape. Unless the spacing is not accurate on the fret of course

They are the Backs for the Custom Seats

I see Both drive shafts and they look fine But, one Stock hubcap is Broken The center is popped out NOT as easy a fix!! Is that part there, and how damaged are the two parts!!! I have a couple of this kit, though only in AMT 67 boxes. It is good to know the 66 & 69 Riv windshields fit.

I have NO way to buy from Russia!! If I need to Mail payment it would be a US Postal Money Order. Otherwise, I pay Cash at checkout!!! I have NO credit card, nor will I ever again use pay-the-bay/Preypal I have told the stiry before, but guess I need to again. I won 2 built models, 62 Thunderbird, & 72 Road Runner about 6-7 years ago. Friend paid with pay-the-bay One MONTH after winning, I sent a message to the seller ONLY reply I would EVER get stated her husband had Just returned from Hospital, and would get them shipped to me shortly, as she had No idea about models. Another Month and still NO models I sent another message. This time NO reply I filed the claim, with evilbay & pay-the-bay Within the next month My claim case was Close with NO action, and seller Closed their account Had I used Postal Money Order, I would have received either my Money back, the models, or BOTH!!!!! The seller would also have been charged with Mail fraud and Theft Too!!!!! Pay-The-Bay/preypal has NO way of enforcing that!!!!! And NO guarantee of refund, or purchase being sent!!!!! That is why I MUST find a US seller/Store that stocks these kits!!!!!

I have seen a few of this company's kit I like, but so far Only From Russian sellers Wish a US based seller would stock them Especially at That price

As far as I remember looking at them they are the Same kit Minor differences in Decals only I also have the Penski Set less the Van body and some other parts of it And built an Original Separate Penski issue of the Nascar Way Back When!!!! Also the Same kit just different decals

For the Most part Yes all but the "Woody: issue Can be built Stock however, since this kit is based off the Coupe/Sedan, the tail lights are incorrect. Most Deliveres had One tail light on the left side. The Temporary Twin the the other mag showed how to correct the kit The builder used a second fuel filler tube as the tail light Evergreen or plastruct (or sprue) rod can be used inplace of the kit part Fill in the car tail lights in the rear fenders

It is posible we May some day see the Stock version of this Matador back!!! The last 2 re-issues did include the Stock Hood and Grill, though only as a Nascar. I have Both issues, "Bobby Allison's Sportsman" and the Coca-Cola 75 Nascar . Bobby did drive the car in the Late Model/Busch series a couple years after retiring it from Cup compitition. Thus the labeling on the 2 issues.

Don't forget the Photo-etch Also from the New tooled kit I was buyint the Regular, Pro-Shop & Coca-Cola issues at Toys R Us for $3,50 or so back then And They were NOT suppose to have the Pro-Shop issue!!!! Still have one, and 3-4 of the Coke issue And I got the 100th Anniversary Tin at Extra Clearance from Hobby Lobby I did not have enough cash, and was going to leave it, but Manager said to make it Half the ticket I said it was already Clearance priced, that floor person said they did not have correct clearance stickers but, still said drop it. So I took the kit home for $8.oo +tax!!

This kit was NEVER an MPC kit!!!! AMT from the beginning to last issue I have the Stock 75 Annual issue of it!!

Yea. #1 are the Rudge rims from AMT's 300 SL Gullwing and #5 look like Buick Mags

I have the Prestiege kit too Need to dig it out and plan on her!! And NO the Photo-etch was Not included in the kti A Previous owner added that to it. You got lucky that way

I have a 60 Convert I bought from Joe Wheat MANY Years ago Shortly after his Resin kits were announced in that Other mag. Too bad the only Resin he offers now are Built Painted and not kits!! Sadly though covered in THICK paint that I did strip, the 3 trim pieces in the right front fender insert were sanded down, and need to be replaced!!!

I thought the Instruction site there was Down

I wonder if they do it will they Block off all the Custom parts. The Firechief version was basically Stock Only, It did include the tri-deuce type aircleaner though I used it as an emergency light for the grill on one build

Actually, The Fire Chief Can be built already. The Light rack, Strobes, Siren, flashers, even Radio equipment are All Identical to those parts from the 70 Ford Police Cruiser!!!! I have 2 of the Impala Fire Chief, and 4+ of the Ford Police, so I can verify that!

I want to say the at some time the Pyro/Life-Like/Lindberg 1/32 kits DID have Chrome I have a few of the 32 Fords & Chevy's and they do have chrome IF I can find them I will take pics. I want to say the chrome was more of an Aluminum look than Bright chrome but they weer plated not painted Also I think those issues came with Blue tint clear including those with headlight lenses It has been A LONG time, but.................................... I have passed the Lindberg re-issues at Ollie's as they were the same $7.99 that the 1/25 kits were And while the 1/25 got marked down over time, the 1/32 did not!!!

SEVERAL!!! Example, Pair of Prestiege issue 63 Galaxie's started when the sseries First came out!! One converted to convertible MANY Others including the 65 Tempest/:Le Mans wagon!!!! Not planning 64, 66 & 67 Tempest/Le Mans (GTO) Wagons!!!!!

I built the Volvo F12 Globetrorrer Way Back in the 80's I believe that was also a US kit first then RoG. Same might be true of the Mercedes COE (Still want that one!!!)
