LAst time I was in the area one, it had the Pepsi Ford C. Only One, but had it. They Still had the 1/16 Dukes kit too!!! Right Beside the Petty version!!!! Maybe in a couple months they will!!

MPC's First LONGbox Stepside issue I have a near mint Unbuilt, (Would still be if I had not opened it!!!) and 3-4 Built for parts/resto. The Black version was called 'Heavy Pedal' The Blue "Rolling Thunder" I have 2 Unbuilt of the Heavy Pedal Got one With the Model King "Deluxe Parts Pack" (Open Road Mini Motor home/Racer's Wedge) kit Only paid $30.oo + shipping too!! CHEAP!!!!! All that is missing from the Gold box art 74 issue are the hubcaps/rims and F70 or G70 tires for a Complete Stock build!

I have 2 of the 62 Electra 225 Pro-Shop & Retro Deluxe. Neither have any chrome issues. Only kit I have with that is the Trumpeter 60 Bonneville. 3 chrome trees. 2 Matt finish and one Gloss, but BLUE/Dark tint!!!!

I have several of th e1/48 scale cars, and thought they were good for the size. In fact, the metal axles in those kits with them were Much finer than the axles AMT offered in their 1/43 kits!! I have built 2 57 T-Bird, Stanley Steamer, Model A Roadster/convertible, Indy/F-1 Race car Jaguar XKE, 31 Cadillac, Duesenberg I did not like the Revell re-issue of the 30's Classic's as they were not molded in color or did not match the color on the box like the Original Renwal boxed kits did I started buying them in "Nichol's Department store in 74-5 era as I recall. The 57 T-Bird even had separate red tail lights for the Chrome bezels NONE of AMT's 1/43 had that!!!

It was. Should still be. But very difficult to work with as air bubbles will show Much more in clear than none-transparent resins. And, actually, that MX Is a decent lightbar for a towtruck. It can be painted as an All light bar. You can also look at the Code3 bars in the Ecto-1A kit. That one also has a Whelan Edge bar, but is a single chrome piece. Find Early Jo-Han police Fury, or the Yodel Monaco/Fury and use the twin rotator rack with a Spot light in the center. Tint the dome caps Amber/yellow. (Early issued of the Jo-Han kit have Painted red & blue lenses, so you can strip them to clear!!) MPC's 70-74 Annual 1/20 Ford Econoline van kit had a Gumball too, and actually closer to 1/25 scale than 1/20 (Or a Very Small one) with a Clear cap Both the Midnite Cowby, and recently re-issued 77 Chevy/GMC Snap tow truck have a Twinsonic type lightbar The soon to be re-issued "Cop Out" Duster funny car has a Mars twin rotator light rack that can also be used. Dome caps or lens surfaces of rotator lamps can be painted/tinted amber rear of double ended flashers on th erack between rotators and Siren speaker location can be done in amber front and red for brake lights, or white for Spot lights/scene lights to the rear. The Streethawk from Revell's 90-91 Caprice can also be used. Any Emergency lightbar/light can be used! Just paint/tint the cap(s) or lenses Amber. Especially After 65 or so. Unless you are building a Police or Fire Department piece. Then they Can have red or Blue lights AND Sirens!!! Look at LA City Fire for proof of that!!! AMT's up coming Rescue issue of the Chevy van should include Amber flasher domes. The original issue did!! Same are in most AMT Semi kits now!!! Is that enough info/ideas for now??

The "Rolling Thunder version of MPC's Longbox Stepside is evidently the Rarest version of that kit. I have the 74 issue showing a Gold built with the Motorcycle, and 'Heavy Pedal' black built on the box. Rolling Thunder is Blue, and includes the "Sleeper Box" behind the cab. I too wish Moebius, or some one else would do a new Modern tooling of this era Chevy/GMC pickup series! And Yes, Many have the Same side trim over all years. Interior is the same too. Though Some issues have an arm rest, or center seat, while others don't I would be very happy to have the 72 re-issued again as it was last time. It has gotten So expensive for such a Recent & Common kit!!!!!

NO. This was when AMT was issuing Separate Stock, and Custom/Lowrider, etc kits The Lowrider had Only Lowrider suspension. I do not know how many Custom engine parts were included. I never kept any of the ones I got. Only the Stock. I Would love to find a few sets of those "Twin-White Stripe" tires from the Stock 66 Riv kit!!

I had to re-scribe the trim on mine too I used a dial set compass/divider with 2 points. Set it to the correct width, set the long point against the edge, and drug it along the fender letting th e shaper point Deepen the scribe line of the trim. JUST Make sure to keep it Straight!!!!

I want one Wonder if Hobby Lobby will have it since it is a Standard Rev-US issue.

YES!!!!!

I would love to get the Old Adam-12 & Hawaii Five-O boxes. These were shown in that other Mag Before the 'Net was common place, or even Open!!!

me too!! All I have in Kit of this era Chevy van is the OLD Mini-Lindy Matchbox/Hot Wheels size kit from Lindberg!!! Not been issued in a LONG time. Wonder if any of those Mini-Lindy's will get re-issued now by Round2.

I found this 67 Chevy Van Bank at a large yardsale MANY years ago, and forgot about it, till I opened a box last night and saw it again. I took pic's just a little while ago, and uploaded them to Photobucket. Sadly, though Close, it is Smaller than 1/25 scale. Also due to the design, would be Difficult to resin cast. What do you think. This door cut open makes resin copying More difficult. This picture shows the Original Dealer Sticker Still in place!! I was surprised to find a Different meaning/Translation of the dealer's Name!! I found it in a Song or 2!! (Later Zul Je Lachen for one!!!!) Yes I Erased the Phone Number. Just in case it Might still be Active. And to avoid Spamming the owner of it!! Wish I had one not cut open! I have never seen another. How many here have seen one??

I have enough Unbuilt Glue Turbine kits, I have always planned to build the Race car out of one of them!! Still have to paint everything Except the Outside of the body Turbine Bronze!!! That does get painted White. Even the vinyl Roof!!

As much as I can remember, the Airfix kit did. I built 2 of the MPC boxed version MANY years ago Still have one of them somewhere.

Agreed!!! I would love to do one too. But mine would be LAPD!! So yes, I would also have to replace the seats with one like in the Jo-Han 68 Fury kit!! But, V8 or Slant 6?? And, I have 2 1 of those Stock Belvedere, and 2 Dodges, and NO 6!!!

What is the Resolution like??? WinX answered for me 720x480. Worth a download!!! Always wanted to build that White Turbine!!!!

Very nice. But 40 Ford Sedan Deliveries did not have Passenger car tail lights. I sure wish AMT would hurry up and find & re-issue the old T Depot Hack!!!

Same here. Can't vote on that 'Place'

In 1/32 the Kenny Bernstien Bud King was a Merc Lynx I still have mine. And my resto original 72 annual Vega is in that box! I had a few of the "Fiend" Duster snaptite Funny car I don't remember the Pepsi Challenger in 1/32 scale They Did do it in 1/24. I had one. Also had Wendy's on it!!

I don't even log in to my Photobucket to post them here. And I just use the links from the pic itself in photobucket. Open the album, and hover your mouse on th epic you want, See the little Gear that pops up in the top right corner of th epic your mouse cursor is on? Click on that, see the "Get Links" and click that. Choose the "IMG Codes for Forum Boards" click on that link and it will go Yellow & read "Copied" Simply "Right-Click" in the message and Choose "Paste" That will embed th epic into your message. To verify it worked you can 'Preview' before Posting the message. This way is a little easier than the one above. At least for me it is!

I think he said 17 "POUNDS" Not Dollars. He Is in England, and they do not use Dollars!

Lightbar looks like the "Street Hawk" from Revell's Caprice Police, Fire/Taxi kits. Interesting

Sadly, if you Have to have Pay-The-Bay now, I can't ever list there. I lost 2 built kits I paid for and never received. (62 Thunderbird Hardtop & 72 Road Runner) I dumped that EvilPay back system Very fast after. It closed the case on me about the time the seller closed their account on the evil Auction site. Had I sent a Postal Money Order, I would have not only either gotten my money back, or the models, But the seller would have had the chance to be Criminally charged! Learned my lesson on that deal!!

I had the Coupe in Neon Green. I think it had the convertible parts too. I have seen that Green hardtop listed a few times on that Evil Auction site at not to terrible a price.
