  1. Not on the Revell site yet. I just checked. Opens up the page about the kit, but no Instructions pdf file yet.
  2. I want that Military Wrecker too!! Got one Wayback, but that just TOO Expensive now!!!
  3. How did they do the "Zipper Top" cars that could run one week as a Convertible and then the next as a hardtop again??
  4. Which 58 Edsel Wagon?? Round Up (2dr), Villager or Bermuda?? On Villager & Bermuda, 6 Passenger or 9?? I would any of love those too (Look at my Name)!!!!!
  5. AMT's 3 51 Chevy kits and the 2 Galaxie 46-8 Chevys have 6's AMT's & Monogram's 53 Vette's have 6s. the already listed Modern Tool AMT 60 Chevy CameoFleetside, & Trumpeter 63 Nova. Both MPC/AMT 69 Firebird & Trans AM version kits have the Pontiac 6. I am not sure what the engine is in my MPC Pacer even though I tore it down for a Resto. I do know the 6 in the MPC Jeepster/Copmmando is a V not in-line.
  6. I want a couple of these. Just wish they would have given us the Window van option from WAY Back when!!!! And what about the Open Road Mini Motor Home option This one had Way back too??
  7. I bet the Windshield frame IS Separate & from the 55 kit along with the Boot cover. Since they were likely the same on the actual cars anyway. I don't care. I am just glad to Finally get a Convertible kit of the 57!! Will they do the 56 too??
  8. Many times the Sargent would drive a Wagon version of the regular Cruisers. Look at Adam-12. Mac drove the Wagon while Pete & Jim were in a sedan. Though, LAPD used the Belvedere NOT Fury, Jo-HAn included LAPD decals in there kit. I too wish Jo-Han still had possession of the Fury kit tooling, but most likely,as stated in many emails & forums I have read, it was taken by former Seville employees and sold for Scrap to make up for lost paychecks before Okey got the company.
  9. Some Cameras come with a CD to install software, but Any with a USB cable will Plug N Play. Just plug the cable into the camera & PC then Turn the camera ON it will activate on the PC just like a Thumbdrive!! I then Move the pic's I want into the correct folder "My Pictures", My Models, etc Rename them to get rid of the DCS1234 type name and they are ready to post to Photobucket or email I prefer this method as Not all Cards are readable by all readers. Some Brands of camers have Different cards for different Models of Camera!!!
  10. Jo-Han offered a Top of the line Belvedere Promo for 56. I think you have a Savoy It has been offered a few times through X-El, and lastly Okey Spalding as a promo, or promo kit molded in sellect colors and even white for the kit. How ever, it is a 4dr sedan and there is NO interior. Also, the chassis is a Flat panel much like that in th e59 Rambler Wagon kit There are a few out there, but they will not be cheap!!! Hopefully IMC WILL get going and release the 3 Jo-Han kits announces last year so that maybe the 56 Belvedere will be offered later.
  11. I use Maxthon3 with no problems. Though I think the site overloaded earlier tonight while I was on.
  12. If you don't mind paying over $25-30 for one on evilbay that is. Even the last re-issues of the 72 Fleetside go HIGH!! Look pr parts lots/builts to get them cheaper. got a few good rebuilders that way Putting one of those on a Revell 65 Stepside. Stretched the frame to Longbox spec for it to fit!! That Mini-Motor Home might look good on that 55. Just remember to stretch the frame I don't think Chevy offered the 8 ft bed till the 58 Fleetside 55-57 Cameo's were the same as Stepsides, since that is what they mounted the fiberglass fender to!
  13. If he means Painting, as in the Side of a Van, then Yes MURAL is the spelling
  14. The red Squad body is Plastruct. Not sure it is Worth using. That is why the unpainted White Styrene replacement. Remember, that is 1/32 scale too, Not 1/25
  15. Yea, I Need a Space to work!!! I just made a list of unpictured projects (started/restos) and have almost another 100!!!!!!! But some are TREK ships 15-20 of AMT's Old 1/43 cars and uncounted HO scale Fire Trucks and Semis!!
  16. When I want to replace/copy script like that, I press kitchen foil over them and get it fully embossed in, then flip it offer and fill it with either putty, or liquefied kit styrene. (scrap sprue melted in liquid cement.) Made the missing GTO emblem for the trunk of my AMT 65 Goat. My 64 Marauder is stashed so I can't get to it right away.
  17. I have one of the Sedan Delivery and the 36 ft fifth wheel trailer kit. I want the Aerosedan too. I do hope the Coupe comes out. I could use the convertible body that was originally announced too, but the coupe would be an easy mod for a convertible
  18. I have those Clipboards from other kits!! (I Never got a Chevette) The Fire Chief issue of AMT's 32 Ford Vicky had Boots, Helmet, Captain/chief Cap, Gas mask, Megaphone Lantern and small first aid kit/box. (I have 2 of this issue)
  19. Oh come on now!!!!!! The 57 Chevy is from Revell & was molded in red. I will paint it the Sedan Delivery is modified from a "Cop-Rod" kit to appear more stock Another Bash/scratch project on the Mack I need to get the interior done and mounted into the body so it will sit on the chassis better This started as an MPC Trail Patrol Stepside pickup. Light Duty Rescue Squad for when the Heavy Rescue above is not needed!! Here is my Photobucket album. Check out all the above. http://s145.photobucket.com/albums/r229/EdselDan/ I have MORE Primered/Started projects I need to add there!!!!! Do I have enough Started/in-progress projects???

  21. STILL???!!! Original AMT or MPC (not sure which) 67 Chevy Fleetside The cap is from the 68 issue of the AMT 63 F-100 or 69 Chevy Fleetside I got it in a lot with a 69 so bet it was that one!! This is the 69 that had the Cap on the 67 above it was painted green and had etched the body 72 Fleetside with a Stretched Blazer chassis "Street Sleeper" Elegance Series issue of the AMT 65 GTO. LAST Stock issue before the Dirt racer tool modifications So many Loose parts I started the build. Note the Blue windows!!! Deeper than the Blue in the New Daytona Transport!!
  22. Still more??!! This is a Promo I got CHEAP at a Carlisle PA car show several years ago. Had to replace the windshield frame. Scratchbuilt it by tracing one on a 61 Ranchero!!! 62 Mercury Meteor 2dr Sedan. Got this FREE after building a 70 T-Bird 4dr for a Car CLub friend Years ago. Want to restore this one.

Think N.C. Sherriff!!!!!!! Another Police build. 2dr this time I made a mask of the resin EDSEL roof and applied it over the Rev Skyliner roof to mark and cut.
