A couple sets would be nice...in case of mistakes lol. I am trying to replicate my old 1:1 76 T/A. I bought 2 of the 76 Formula kits, and planned on swapping the front end out on a 77/78 T/A kit, but don't really want the t-tops or the headache of filling them in since my car was a hardtop. So figure I can just swap out the hood, shaker and wheel spoilers from the 77 kit I bought. Only thing keeping it from being a T/A is the fender vents.

I seen some fender vents for the 70-81 Trans Ams once online but dont remember where I seen them. Been trying to locate them again for a project..any idea on where I might be able to find some?

I am looking to build a 76 T/A like the one I had a few years back. I was wondering if anyone made a trans kit? I know RR made one awhile back (rumors were it wasn't the greatest mold) but wasn't sure if it was still available. Any info on locating one would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I was thinking about using JB Weld...just got to get me one of these diecast trucks and see how it comes apart

the diecast is the 130" wheelbase instead of the 145"? Shouldn't be too hard to fix should it?

I have found 2 of the smaller kits on ebay...will get on and look for the diecast...would rather have the bigger scale version...all I'd have to do is strip and repaint and modify the bed sides a bit...thanks for the info The diecast would also be better, because the truck down the road from me is a 57 i believe, so would have the right hood on it.... I wonder how hard it would be to tear down?

36 Pontiac 3 window coupe with Pontiac 455 and hot rod parts

ok cool i will do some more searching....I'm not too worried about the scale...just want to build it the way I would build the real thing

I am trying to replicate a 1:1 of this truck that is down the road from me....any idea if this kit is still out there someplace? This is the only thing I can find about the kit....I am sure it will be impossible to find one, but thought I'd see if the people on here might have some info...thanks

ok thanks George...I will see what they have

thank for the link...but cant spend that much at the moment....guess I will just build it using the 55-57 cab lol

I am wanting to build a 58/59 chevy 1 ton dually but all I can find is the 55-57 truck. Anyone make the 58/59 cab in resin? There is a 58 chevy 1 ton dually down the road from me and I would like to build a kit version (of how I want to redo the 1:1). The cab of the 1 ton looks just like the half ton cab. all I need is the cab and interior...I will be using a chassis from the 90s chevy dually, or making one from scratch.... Any help or info is appreciated

Looks good, can't wait to see it finished

looking good

the truck is coming along nicely man...

looking better every time I check this thread out....I have put all my builds on hold...cant seem to get the motivation right now.... on another note...My car maybe up for sale in a few weeks...lol thought I'd give ya the heads up lol

Its coming along nicely...going to be sweet once its built. great scratch work as well...I have expanded my skills a bit doing my Camaro build..but no where near this...I don't even know where to start at attempting this kinda work, may have to get you to do this setup for my little D50 Ram lol......keep it up man

ok cool...just let me know what all you find of it. I had originally planned on doing it as it sits when I bought this kit, but getting tired of people asking what I have planned for it...lol so building a scaled version of what it will look like when finished.

The Camaro isn't in as bad as the pics make it out to be. Typical rust, like all these cars have. It will be just over $350 in sheetmetal. I can do all the cutting, welding, body work and painting so no worries there. I am also going to be building the engine, but not until all body work is done lol. It will take some time, but shouldn't be too hard to do, I have seen alot worse cars. As far as the model goes, its going slow lol. The 70 1/2 camaro kits are all split bumpers. I am sure I could use the one you have for something....I have actually thought about getting another kit and making a version of my car in its current state....might could use yours for that.

On the actual car I will be using BF Goodrich 205-70-14 front & 275-60-15 rears

ok cool....id appreciate it...I tried to repair the one I had made, but its too far gone. If I get the extra $12.50 I will get one ordered from modelhaus, and wait the month or so for it to come in lol...but that is a last resort....

yep thats exactly how I feel....the ones for the model are made ofter the old fenton slots...but the actual ones for my 1:1 arr true E.T.s 14x6.5 fronts & 15x8.5 rears...going to have the perfect stance...now just to find tires to match the actual ones lol

yeah i seen it...looks like a pretty good paint scheme...will look wicked when its done

looks good...would love to do that with the little dodge d50 truck I got...but that is way beyond my skill set...keep up the good work man

Got these 5 slots in today for my Camaro build....will be getting the 1:1 versions Sunday from Oklahoma City
