Edsel-Dan

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.

Right now, I have 2 Originals I likely will not touch. AMT 65 Buick Wildcat, & ALF Aerochief Snorkle. The Snorkle has since finally been re-issued 3 times (They had to retool the boom/basket) The Wildcat, I need parts to correct it to build as my dad's 'Cat. His had Hubcaps Not the Buick mags, Bench seat with armrest Not buckets & console. and the dash is very wrong for his. The kit has the twin-pod round gauges, while his had the single large rectangular cluster. I want to find pictures of the car before I even think of trying to duplicate it. I am building 3 classic annuals from then. Trophy series re-issue/continuation of the 61 Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner, 62 Mercury Meteor 2dr sedan, and Elegance series issue of th e65 Pontiac GTO. This is the Last issue Before it became one of the modified Dirt Stock car series racers. I must say, the Electric Blue clear windows are interesting!! I did have to replace the Stock GTO rims & exhaust manifolds. It only had Headers and "Johnson/Johnston Bridged Hub" Mags according to the box.

The Grand National I saw in Maroon/Burgandy had the correct GN decal on the fenders, and the boarder matched the color of the car. Plus, it was too new to have been painted. I saw that car when the Grand Nationals were on sale at Buick dealers. it sat right in front of a neighbor's house. I could see it from my front door. Was not there long, but few a few weeks/months

I have one of the Original High-Performance issues of the GNX. I am converting it to the Indy Pace car. Might need to get one of the new issues though to check the interior decals. I did not know the GNX was offered in other colors. I saw the Grand National in a Dark Re. Almost a Burgandy/Maroon, but never the GNX. Even most Grand Nationals were black.

I am surprised to say I do like this. I have one, but need to replace the seats. They are Rubber just like the tires. No Way I will use those!!! Any one cast them in resin? Any of the other AMT kits have Styrene seats?? All I see when I look at that box is JUNK!

I only ask one question "Do you accept Postal Money Order?" because I do not have paypal. I use to use Wal-mart MO's but they now charge you to Cash one!!! No thanks Best part about Postal MO is I can charge the seller with FEDERAL Mail fraud & theft if I don't get the item, or can show it is wrong and they won't correct it. I will notify the seller if the picture is not of the item being sold.

Nice build so far Always wanted this kit. Still haven't gotten one. Had the 89 Annual Long box Fleetside building it box stock & Box art. Decided to jump under my feet one day while I was walking by the shelf. The Tires/rims MIGHT be salvagable, but don't think anything else is. Have not started the stepside kit and the 88 Annual is still sealed!! I have this shortbox fleetside in Promo form, but it is an Indy/Brickyard Pace Car!!!!

Nice build!! Nice to see the re-issue was molded white. My Ertl issue (Continuation re-issue??) was molded in color. Cab etc were red, not sure about chassis, engine. But think some parts were black. I need to dig it out & get pictures. Wish I could find this & the 600 though!!!! By the time I heard about them, they were sold out and only on the secondary market. Almost double price too!!

Wonder if this means we will get the Shirley Muldowney Bounty Huntress Plymouth kit too?? I built one Way back than. Still have it some where

I like them too, but would rather get them Flat. Not folded/assembled That might let them sell cheaper too

I like this too. I have one to build, but need to find the Sherriff issue Revell parts I set aside for it!!!!

The Drastic Plastic Fotki album from Instructions group includes Box Art too. I know, I supplied some of them.

I may need to check Modelhaus. I have 2 of the X-El promos. one Lt Blue (Almost White) and one black I May convert that one into a Police and remove most of the Belvedere trim.

I agree on the Edsel Wagon not a likely kit to be seen. I too have one of the Danbury Bermuda's. I like that White over Red Woody!!!! Got to get it Out on display!!!!
