Yes, that Is the one. I wanted that Longbox Fleetside!!! Original AMT/SMP 1960 Annual!! Notice it says Retouched photo of ACTUAL Model!!!! No Way Period on that one!!!!! I have a couple Gluebombs to try my hand at restoring now!!

If they put it on their Home page I can reply, otherwise...... Sorry, not on that.

I got some Cheap 1 inch diameter 11 inch tall Clear tube for storage. They were at Wally's in the Christmas clearance, and filled with Gumballs!!! I paid 49, Cents each for 6. Oh, They were Candy Canes!! Went back for more, but they were gone.

I have one of those. Might even have a second from a built lot I got.

Didn't Richard Petty/Petty Enterprises use one?? Or was it a standard cab??

I would not really look at the real one, but it Was a Pace car for the Indy 500, so I Do want a kit to build as such!!

4 different Toppers/Bed caps have been included in 1/24-25 scale kits The AMT SnapFast Chevy 2500 Extended/Club cab Green box art build/molded in green (Not the red/maroon dually) This is one piece with a separate clear hatch. Gear Hustler, and addition issues of AMT's 65 El Camino include one. It is 5 pieces, top, 2 sides, front, & rear, plus 2 side & 1 rear window. AMT's 70's F-150-350 Pickups also included a full size cap in Certain issues. Revell included one in their J-10 Honcho Jeep pickup, but ONLY in the Red box art issue I do not know is the last issue (Highway Wars??) had it, Also, Since the last 2 issues of the AMT 65 El Camino have the Larger Camper body, I do not know if they include the topper/cap. Scratchbuilding one should not be too hard due to the size & shape. For a sharper corner with smaller radius than Tom's above, you can glue the sides & top together square, add Square or rectangle strip stock behind it (It will help strengthen the joint too) And then when set, file the corner edge to the radius you want. Use .03 or .04 Evergreen/Styrene with similar strip behind it. Even on Square corners, I add the strip for stronger joints/additional glue surface area. Not a Cap/topper, but this is what I mean on filing the radius. The round-over on this cab is filed and sanded smooth

The Polar Lights Herbie kit did show Steering on the box art, but that was their 1/18 Diecast. The Kit did not come with steerable front. It Can be done. I did that on mine. The Original Revell issue of Herbie had an Open Canvas top. I still have mine. Need parts to restore him though!

I had the LA County Sheriff version of that revell Bronco. Frame was very spindly. Thin and easy to twist under its own weight. I used the front have of the body on a Midnight Cowboy tow truck. By the way, I believe it is an 80. And yes they do go fairly high now I do not know of any Bronco with clear head light lenses except maybe the old Monogram 1/32 snaptite.

If you know the wheel base, then cut the frame rails down since they say the Cab frame rails are not in the box this time.

The 2 T-Birds & 2 Pontiacs were AMT, but many said that were not all that accurate. Definitely not as detailed as this one. Pontiacs were 43 of King Richard & 75 of Neil Bonnet Not sure who the second 'Bird was.

But, The only 1/25 scale 58 Bonneville kits offered came with the correct Convertible Interior. I Have converted hardtops into convertibles. All AMT. Boondock Bomber issue 59 Buick Invicta, Street rods issue 64 Impala, and ?? issue 58 Impala How do they look???? 58 Impala. (Visors Hinge!!) Be right back. Buick & 64 are not in Photobucket OK, had to reboot Max. (browser) Here is 59 Buick Windshield frame & Boot cover are from Monogram 59 Impala Here is 64 Impala Boot cover is scratchbuilt.

Don't know what it is about coffee. Never drank it, don't plan to either!!! To each their own.. Just like in Model building. I like Police/Fire, Stock, Wagons, Convertibles, etc. Not very interested in motorcycles, hot-rods, etc, but I will look at them. Others here don't like Police cars, or Fire engines, or Wagons, etc. We do like the skill, but not necessarily the subject.

I did it on a Jo-Han Ambulance. Got to Find it to take pic's though!! I used Auto World hinges on the second doors. (The ones that almost match the 48 Woody pic.) These on the rear doors of my AMT Chevy van Blue Rescue Hinge is 2 piece. Wire and Sheet brass. Wire section is a Squared off 'U' with the two sides bent into "L's" Brass sheet is folded over to wrap around the Center of the wire, and also "L'd" One piece is epoxied/super glued to the door, the other to the body/pillar. I straightened the part mounted to the pillar on the Ambulance due to the narrow width of the B Pillar. It extends into the cabinet/driver divider instead. I started one of those and have cut all 4 doors out too. Styrene hinges & pins kept breaking. Replaced those with metal ones cut from Pie tin aluminum Need to dig her out and take some pic's too!!

Wish I had a picture of the box. AMT's re-issue of the 60 Chevy Pickup kit. First offered in Michaels's Shows a Longbox Fleetside in 2 tone silver/gray with side trim, but open the box, and find the Modern tool Shortbox Phantom Cameo that has smooth sides and is a Base Custom not the high level Apachie It even shows Correct Fleetside outer box sides while the kit gives the Stepside box with Fleetside "Fenders". Worse, the box was cast as one piece. That one & Revell's 64 are not Correct Fleetsides, and both are very susceptible to warping I had to cut both apart, add floor sections to widen the bed floor and then replace the outer box.

Nice. I like Petty. I want to do that Kyle 7-11 Pontiac, but..... I saw one in an auction house a couple years ago. he had $75.00 on it. I know that quality of that kit. I have the 43 & Hardess 28 from the series. I wish to find Just the decal sheet. I could use it on a Pontiac in one a several of the 2 kit Petty sets I have. My plan was to built one set out of the box, then reverse a second.

I have a few of Alan's kits too. Monogram Rookie of The Year Quincy's Steak House as well as the Racing Reflections custom issue Slight differences in the decals. I have all 3 of the RR kit including the Hooter's. I even have an after market Hooter's decal set. I have Monogram's Plus kit of the Zerex and the Z version 87 T-Bird set. I was surprised to get this AMT kit VERY Cheap off ebay!! Nascar kits are dropping in demand and price. I would like to build all the AK cars. I even have a Rev/Italeri Aeromax I want to build as his transporter. But, I would like to find one molded in White as that blue is some what dark!! I wonder how many championships he would have won had he not died so young!! He sure showed the big teams something!!!

I looked at DPMCC Instructions fotki and no luck. Also, only 2 69 Chevelle's. The last re-issue & a drag version from about 69.

Talk to those in the 'know' For taking cars, etc from Video games and making models out of them, Paper modelers are your best bet. I am a member of both "PaperModelers.com" & Zealot Forums' Card Modelers They do this regularly, Though they are modifying the 3d image into Flat panels to print a fold-able model out of. They will tell you, making a model out of a 3ds, lwo, or max file will take other software. What file is the Game using for its 3d image?? Likely 3d printing will too, depending on the software the printer reads to print from. Here is where some asked about being able to supply a print file that is ready to go. Sellers of these files will have to Know what printers are available to the General public, What their Primary file format is & others they can accept, etc. At first we will likely see sold files offered in multiple output formats for the different printers unless a Standard File format & output material are formulated Before reaching the general population. Think VHS/Beta Video tape here Or in PC Speak, pdf only or pdo files. Mac software will not run Pepakura, so pdo files can not be opened. And so far there is no Mac equivalent for them to use either. Many paper models are offered by Tamisoft and some designers in PDO format but must be copied to either pdf (Adobe Reader) or even Picture format. ie jpg, gif, tif, png, bmp

MPC also offered an 80. Monogram had Bronco's from the 80's too. I have an original AMT 79 "Wild Hoss" & one of the M-K re-issues. The original is not that high in price on ebay. Same for the MPC annual

The MPC & AMT Dodge Little Red Express kits Are the same. AMT, MPC & Polar Lights are all owned by Round2. All were previously owned by Ertl. They first bought AMT around 82, then MPC shorlty aftere. Ertl Bought Playing Mantis owner of Johnny Lightning Diecast & Polar Lights kits only about 5-10 years ago, then almost immediately decided to get out of all hobby production. We have seen many MPC kits in AMT boxes as Ertl actually dropped the MPC name for a time only using it on Buyer's Choice & Nostalgia Series kits til Round2 decided to bring it back. The mid-late 70's AMT F-150-350 IS very hard to find, (Read that as EXPENSIVE) Even the Model-King F-350 issue is demanding High dollar when found. Look for an Original Bigfoot-1too. It Is the same kit. I have one. I need to check to see if the Stock suspension is still in the box. If so, it will NOT be built as a Bigfoot!!!! The Stock grill IS in the box, I remember that Hopefully since announcing the 69 GTO Judge Funny Car in Original box art re-issue, that means they will start re-issuing some of the other M-K run kits in similar fashion. Actually, only the Li'l Red version has been re-issued so far There were 4 of this Short box stepside. Li'l Red, Warlock, Firefighter (4x4) & Pumpin' Iron. Thee original Li'l red was molded in red (of course) Warlock was black, Firefighter was orange, (I have a built) & Pumpin' Iron was silver. I bought that one Cheap due to missing tires. It was a bash project with a Monogram 1/32 Mack CF Pumper to make a small attack pumper.Sadly, it may be a dead project. It fell under my feet one day. Been bagged & boxed up in my attic. I don't know if I want to look at it any time soon

I knew what to expect from the kit. I see the box art as no more that Chip's "Overhaulin' " sketch. If the rims in the box are the same as the One-Off's put on the actual car, then....... I what the show as much as I can, which is not often. I Use to watch it all the time on Discovery/TLC It is on Velocity now, and either in competition with something else I, my sister, or mother watch, or on at different times/days, so miss it. Though I do like the show, I do not always care for the finished build. The ONE I do like, "Bessie--Junk In The Trunk" 56 Cadillac Convertible. That was a Restoration, not customization. I am curious though. He removes the Front license plate mount on almost All Overhaulin' episodes. If the owner gets a ticket for that, does He pay it?? NO. I would make him sign a Contract, that is I lived in a 2 tag state, and he removed the front plate mount, He Would pay for ALL such tickets. Otherwise, the tapes would be destroyed never to run, and he would return my car/truck to me in the condition he took it.

I believe your best bet for delivery to Central Australia will be one of the "Hobby Link" sites. Most likely HLJ-Hobby Link Japan, since they ship From Japan to the US. Not sure if they Stock RoG kits or just Japanese companys, but worth a try Hardest part should be currency exchange rates.

Also, remember that the Revell interior is a Convertible interior and would need the mechanism bulges removed. plus, you might need to include the trim for the inside of the C pillar. I have plans to mount the Jo-Han 70 grill/bumpers to a Revell 72 to make the 70 442/W-30 Pace car

In my favorites group. I want the Police version of this kit, but............$$ ain't there! I will definitely watch this one
