AMT offered the Clear Tailer not too long ago, and what about the Daytona Transport. That Large Clear & Clear blue tint option for the top. Yea, I know, the trailer was made in Flat sections. I Might have bought one of these with the Clear body, but since I restrict my builds to 1/14-5 and smaller, I don't think I will get the new issue. I have my original I built new way back when I have a original Built of the Pearson Sportsman GTO too

Wonder if the Trophy top is still in the kit. I though from looks at some it wasn't anymore. If it is, I may get another just for it!! Wish the matching part was still in the 57 Fairlane 500. I only have one of those!!

I like that Fairmont too, though I drove one for a while and with its inline 6 it could not get out of its own way!!! Ever since that car, my mom Hates Red with a Passion. The Fairmont was red with 2 part white vinyl top. Dad bought it, mom did not like it. I told her to pick one she did, but said it was already bought. She hadn't signed anything yet, so could have changed the car!!! It replaced a 70 Impala!! Hope to be able to afford a stock kit when available. Might wait if a Wagon does come out. Love those Long Roof's! Why can't US car makers give us those now when Many European & Japanese brands still do??

Need Plans/Measurements/Measured drawings to attempt that!!!!!!! I ask for those on Fire trucks all the time, and everyone says, 'I make that ion resin, I can't sell it to you if I let you have a copy of the plans!' Sadly, unless I win the lottery (Mega Millions or Powerball) I will Never be Able to Afford the resin!! Unemployment Stinks!!!!!

Gotta say the same. NICE MoPar!! I have this kit started. Got to get back to her & Finish!!! I also have the Hardtop in pale yellow/cream. Should have bought both that KB had that day. Last kits the store had!!!!

Most of the Styline parts were lost many years ago. Maybe Round2 will work their magic on this kit and return those parts to it

email from round2 announcing it as available said Clear Body. Maybe they are doing this like the Manx Dune Buggy. That one is available in 3 colors.

ebay Screwed me!! Won an auction for a pair of Built models 61 T-Bird Hardtop, & 72 Plymouth Road Runner Runner was molded in red & included photo-etch. One month after the win I sent a message asking if they had been shipped. "Wife" said Hubby had just returned/being released from the Hospital after a long stay and would take care of it soon. 3 weeks later I sent another message, this time getting No reply. Shortly after the selling account was closed. evilbay NEVER did anything for me and even closed the claim. Wish I had paid by Postal MO then instead of paybay I could have charged them with Federal Fraud/Theft. Not even misdemeanor theft their way!!! I Dumped paybay that day and ONLY pay with US Postal Money Order now This was 2-3 years ago, so evilbay would not even talk to me about it now I ask the seller before bidding, if they do not reply, or say no, I pass on their item. I will likely get one else where. and Maybe even cheaper!! I now have both the Styline hardtop & Full kit Convertible 61 T-Bird kits!!!! Convert even had an extra set of Indy Pace car decals!!!! Both are complete/restorable in box, etc!!! Neither was more than the "lost" pair!!! I also have 5+ Aurora 1/32 scale American LaFrance Pumper kits (All Red Original Issue IN Box) If I am suppose to get the Item, I do. That is the ONLY way to look at buying from the 'Bay!!!!!!!

Like this. I too have the Old Airfix kit. I built it new back in the early 70's. Need to restore it. Wish that 1/24 scale kit was a Lot cheaper!!

Give me a 67-72 standard 8ft bed and I will be happy!!!!

Wish a kit or 2 of those were offered!!! Not even Resin offers that International!! I thought the 40's/50's Small buses were from Don Loomis.

Like those. Not something you see here in the states!!

If you are interested in a FREE version look here: http://paperoom.blogspot.com/ Tenth model from the top in the left column Only 1/50 scale and PAPER, but Still FREE. It may also add a little in detail work on the larger build. Click on the picture itself to get the pdf file He offers the Valiant too, but as a Purchase through ecardmodels. It is 1/33 scale Be advised though, the site is in Portuguese, he is from Brazil.

I like this one, Nice resto. I too have the Craftsman kits. an Original Styline & a Desert Race series "El Ranchero Grande" to restore. I Might build an open hood issue when the Mobeus Ranger pickup with the 6 is released.

Nice. I have a resin copy of this to get to some day. But, did Chevy put Red lenses on a car that was Backup light delete?? Or is that a Custom touch from the builder?? Backup lights were not standard/Manditory yet on a 1960 car. They were an extra cost option from earlier, but still not manditory.

I like this one too. I have 2 of these to restore. One I bought new and built to match the box art, the other I got in a trade. Sadly, it has had all the trim removed, so may Not get a resto. Unless I can foilcast/copy the trim from the first kit. I let a seller know that his "Mint" unbuilt Trek Klingon ship was Not mint as ALL the parts were loose in the box. His reply, 'It has not been assembled, thus it IS Mint.' I wonder if he got even One Dollar on that kit!

I believe the Second issue Red Buddy Baker car was a Petty Enterprises car. He did run for them for a couple years. The Clear Body Petty Charger was the First issue. I have the original my dad built back then and had a second unbuilt I sold 25+ years ago. I just MIGHT get one of the Petty re-issues when they come out. I would like to see if I can get Transparent paints in the correct shades to "Paint?Tint" the body but still see the chassis/works underneath

I think you would be better off converting the Del Ray into a Bel AIr by using the separate Chrome from the OLD tool Revell Full Feature 56 Sedan kit. I have one I am restoring and another O bashed into a Nomad Before Monogram released their Modern tool kit.

For me, The Momogram/Revell 1/32 scael Mack CF Pumper kit. I have built 2 of them mostly out of the box. Now all I get are Kitbash/Scratchbuild fuel. I have had as many as 20+ of them. 2 more pumpers in progress are a back-dated design, & an open cab. I have a Heavy Rescue, Aerialscope & tractor-drawn Tanker in progress too. Actually the Tanker is a restoration/replacement as I found the cab a few months ago and need to almost completely rebuild it. (many missing parts!!) I am now thinking of a straight tanker, Buldog rear mount ladder, Mid mount ladder, and a Tractor-Drawn ladder. (just need good pic's measurements for that one!) Also, the Modern Tool AMT 58 EDSEL Pacer. I have a few of those started/in-progress too!!

Promos were black or white, so likely those two colors were available

What would it take to convert this to the 70 Convertible kit?? I have the Pace car decals and would love to add that one to the projects box Or does someone offer the conversion kit for the AMT 70 Convertible???

I would love to see a Vista Cruiser version. I would even get another H/O issue to use for it. Indy had 2 of them As H/O' for Doctors at the track!!! Not somethinng you see. A Hurst/Old Indy Pace car Station Wagon!!!!!!!

On Highwayman, you have 2 Different Rigs shown. I liked that one too. How about the fact that the rig was a Combination Semi & Helicopter!!??? And wasn't Cletus' rig in the First Smokey & The Bandit a KW not a Pete?? Ertl (Before owning AMT & MPC) offered the Trailer from Smoke/Bandit 2 in kit for complete with the Mural Always wanted to get one, but never did!!!

Targa's will have the 'B' pillar in place behind the door with a portion of the roof about the same width as the pillars. C pillar is part of the rear removable roof section. The GNX I am converting to an Indy Pace Car is becoming a Targa.

Actually, wasn't that an "ALAN KULWICKI" Kit?? I have that kit, and most of the others of his. Out side of Richard Petty & Davey Allison's they are the only FranceCar kits I will build now!!!!! To me that series has gone downhill. I rarely watch it anymore.
