Edsel-Dan

Of course, I Meant G70!! They Have been in recent re-issues. At least the yellow/White 72 Chevy Fleetside (probably all since too) and the 76 Caprice to name 2. I was VERY surprised to see the F70 Speedway's in the 70 Bonneville!! Believe I will use taller tires on that! Either Power Cushions from Monogram/Revell 64-66 Impalas, Lindberg 61's, or even Original MPC versions I have a FEW G70's would work too. Rev/Mono should have tooled up G70 size tires for their 68/9 Chargers. Their F70 Speedways look TOO small on those cars! Same here on the 67. Only problem I have with After Market is Price!!!! (OK if UNDER $5.oo a set of4, but anything over...................... And IF they accept any payment method other than pay-the-bay or credit (WHEN I can save up)

I built the towncar WAY BACK in Early 70's!! looked good for a few days, then sat in the back window of our 70 Impala on a trip from Pittsburgh, Pa all the way to Bryson City, NC!! Needless to say, It Deformed badly!!!!! I have all 3 unbuilt now, and a Parts lot Cabriolet. I also want to do an Indy Pace car, But not sure I want to get 2 more kits (bash 2 I have) to make one Also, Where do you get a correct V12???? I too remember Okey taking over Jo-Han and announcing the re-issue of these and the Mercedes but their never gettign done. So, Any idea if the tooling was Scrapped the same as most of the rest?? I do wish they still had that Large Loving Cup trophy!!!!! But Neither of the ones I have owned EVER had one!!!!!

This is the version of the MPC 67 Charger I built Way Back When too Still have it, but Stripped and under resto I even looked at using the 68/9 Road Runner/GTX chassis under her I Would LOVE to see Original Annual parts returned (Stock Hubcaps--[Not every one likes Mag-like or Ralley Rims!! --Plus, how many MoPar's would you see on the same lot with them??] Stock engine parts, etc) I would Rather have the G72 Custom Wide-Tread's than those Small F60's for the Front!!! I believe that is what came in the kit then!!!

I have a few myself I know I have Original's of the Fury & Concord (Had 2 Concord and sold 1 that turned out to be missing wheels/tires) I have 2 Peanuts version (Not sure which) and 4 Looney Toons. I know 1 IS the Ram-Blur!. (Bugs Bunny!!) Only Built Licensed is the Caprice Road Block "Police" Road Runner!!!! I think other 2 are Porky Pick Street Heat/Concord and Speedy Gonzalas Prowler like coupe

Only a few of LAter issue Prestiege kits had that Trophy tree included the Original 4 or so had the base/pen holder I think the 63 Vette convertible had the Drag Strip parts part However ALL of the "Customizing" series had them They were tooled for those kits the 4 kits of that seres were 49 Ford Club Coupe, & 50 Convertible as well as the 66 Thunderbird & Wildcat Some regular issues kits may also have included the Chrome trophy tree too. But, I am not sure which ones

I have a few. 2 Street Rods issues undergoing resto. I might get the newest re-issue as I cut one down to a Convertible and need a Boot cover. But, I just was given a built Original Convertible so may use it on that one instead. YES she has the headlight lens/light transfer bar. But Not the rest of those parts!!Wires, Battery box, Contacts, switch, tail light transfer bar. I do hope to find those parts some time. And Yes, I wish they Could re-issue the convertible!!

This one is REVELL, the other AMT!!

got yelled at so much about this comment I Left MCU Yahoo group, But Have to say it here too. As Nice as that 57 Ranchero Resin is, it is Incorrect for a Factory offering There were 2 versions, but neither had the Custon/standard Ranch wagon trim as the resin has. The Base level had NO side trim at all. The upper level offering has the Custom 300 trim Many owners of this version added the Del Rio side trim to it so there were some with Full Del Rio trim. And, it is not unlikely that owners of Base level Rancheros might have added the Custom/standard Ranch wagon/Courier side trim to their car.

I believe another error in the 2+2 was that they did not remove the BONNEVILLE letters from the tail light panel. I have the Ertl Blueprinter announcing the 2+2, and they stated it was based on an original Kit/promo of the Catalina,and Would have the same chassis as the Grand Prix They have since re-issued the Bonnevile. Did they correctly restore it??

Bad news on second link, iwatchstuff "This domain is blocked due to content filtering"

Sadly, connection issues leave me with camera Icons with an 'X' in the middle Clicking on that darkens the page and brings a pop-up with count-down spiral, But after 20 MINUTES I still have NO Change!! is there a direct link to pics? I have Pulled the plug and rebooted 6 times, with NO change Both Firefox & Maxthon browsers yield same result!!!!!

LOST Count!!!! Several Hundred I know that

Those Hollow MPC tires were in the K&K Insurance Charger Daytona for rear tires. I had 3 of that kit so remember that detail. Fronts were Street G70 Goodyears!!! ALL 4 should have been Identical!!! I believe on other of the 70's MPC nascar kits had those tires, as die the Indy cars of that time STP Turbine Wedge & Olsenite Eagle (Again I have 1 each, uyer's Choise STP Wedge & Original Olsenite) so can check I think these were also the Hollow Baloney Tires offered as a mail in order on some Instruction sheets from then too There are 2 sizes the Wides on the Bug, and naorrower ones that MPC/AMT used on there 80's Annual Chevy pickups (Kits Not Promos)

Yes. Model King had it run a few years ago just before RC2 dumped Kits & Diecast and Round2 took over

Since Plastruct makes most of their Structural shapes out of ABS, their Bondene should work on those parts in this kit. Many of the sheet & strip shapes are now offered in Styrene too, but most of the Molded fittings ie pipe elbows, etc are still only offered in ABS.. I too wonder why the Mix of material in the kit

I have 3 of that Ford wagon Wish I could get a Kit!!! I LOVE that 67 GTO based Tempest/LeMans wagon I want to do that too And a 66 (And 64!!) Did you just use the GTO front clip on the Malibu wagon body?? Easier than what I did with my 65!!!!!!

I am trying to remember when "Quincy" was on That could be an option on a Stock build of the Ford Wagon AND would fit in the Police/Emergency vehicle builders on the Truckster kit idea Although Most of the wagons he drove were AMC, there were a couple Fords there too (Or I THINK there were) Rotator Dome would have to be clear, or Both a Clear red & Clear Amber one would have to be included as those Morgue wagons had either at times!! (Depending on episode/season)

I tried ordering once directly But shipping was MORE than one sheet regardless of order. Even ordering only One sheet, shipping was More than that 1 sheet I think even ordering 4 sheets shipping made the total price DOUBLE the cost of the BMF alone! I can't afford that Anyone know how to reduce the shipping cost?? There was No option the time I tried

I have a few of both Long & short stepside 67/72 Chevy/GMC kits Wish they hadn't butchered the shortbox GMC into the Cheyenne Fleetside longbox back in 95. Doubt we will see that one back out ever again. Not sure what happened to all the variants of the Longbox kit!! Maybe this era Chevy/GMC will be Moebius' next pickup

Yes, fathers 'Cat was a 65.And NO it did Not have the twin-pod type dash. I remember it had the round Buick medallion in the center of the grill that only MT's 65 had. My brother & I both got 66 Annuals of the 'Cat kit at a Hardware store on Chincoteague Island, and were refering to dad's as either. We were corrected a few times that it was a 65. I do remember it was Demo at what was then Powel Buick in Salisbury (Md.) I am trying to find pictures of the car, but those are OLD to say the least and likely moved many times from one storage closet to another without rhyme or reason, so....................................

I need to link this to PaperModelers forums Might be a few new paper models soon!! Not sure how much though due to prices here I did see a Free one, but......................... I can't get it Not sure if I want it though Not sure it has Stock parts!!

There Were Two versions of the Edsel, but NEITHER was Custom!! We got a Deluxe issue with Fender Skirts and Continental Bumper. It was Suppose to be like the Pro-Shop 57 Chevy with Photo-Etch, etc I have a few copies of Both kits!! The only 'Other' version offered were the "Pro-Shop/Custom-Shop Pre-painted kit sold originally at Wally's and the Masterpiece Pre-built Deluxe version with Skirts & Continental kit. I have 2 of that and a few of the Wally's Painted kit too.

I have had a few of the 66 Wildcat, Original annual & Customizing series re-issue and was given an unbuilt original 65 some years ago I believe you are correct only the body was altered while the interior was left unaltered My dad owned a 65. The AMT kit interior does Not match his at all Ours had a Bench seat with fold down armrest and the dash had a large rectangular Speedometer/gauges unlike the twin-pop dash in the kit.

Testor's re-issued a few of the IMC kits in the late 70's in the Historic Fords Series I built the Cougar2, 48 Ford Coupe, Lotus Indy/F1 & Ford Mark4 GT.

I am fairly certain the 69 AMX kit in the AMT box shown earlier was Jo-Han's kit Sold by AMT! They did a Few of them then. Including the Javelin/AMX in Race only. (Mark Donahue's to be exact, though Trams AM/IMSA or Nascar is Not labeled) It was offered in almost Identical markings but for George Folmer's T/A team. I had the Last Jo-Han re-issue of the kit (2n1 Stock & drag) and the race parts were Identical between it and my 3 AMT/Coca-Cola Donahue kits!!! AMT also sold the Jo-Han 70 Olds 442 & Toronado's in their own boxes I have Both AMT & Jo-Han USA Oldies boxes of the Tornado!! Testor's sold the 442 in their HSO series after Jo-Han;s run in the USA Oldies!! I have 2 of those!! It Is too bad about this though I too would Love to see them back!! I do Hope the rest of the kits brought Back out by Model-King get re-issued Soon! After all, They have re-issued the 69 GTO Judge Funny car, 72 Blazer, & 78/9 Ford F-250 Camper's Special/Firestone Super Stones pickup ,So Why not the others??
