Repstock

I hope this helps

What's maddening is when you try to buy parts or decals that are scaled for 1/24-1/25 cars...As if it's one scale.

You're right, of course. My job is OK, I'm just ready to do what I want to do instead of what I have to do.

Not yet, but I have it sitting where I have to see it every day. Sooner or later I'll dive back in and finish the master. There's not that much more to do. If only I were retired....

In all seriousness, I'm curious as to whether that paint scheme was offered without the trim pieces. I suppose a person could paint their truck any way they wanted. A nice, neat job at any rate. Every 35 series truck I've seen is a dually.

Yes, i made a new grille to fit this car. I cast about 10 front ends and grilles, but never thought about offering them as a kit. A caster friend of mine is doing the bumpers, I can't do 2-piece molds. The AMT chassis, surprisingly, only needs the chassis behind the rear wheel wells narrowed, and the rear wheel well shape finessed. The rest fits as is.

After trying to build the new full-bumper Camaro kit, I realized I was never going to be happy with it. I decided to build an old MPC kit, update it with the new parts, and try again to make a 1973 Camaro.

Neat idea and great execution! I'm more of a thin crust guy, though.

Not to butt in, but that trim was present on the original issues.

How will I be able to determine when these are ready for purchase? Is there a site I can check? I'd hate to miss out.

I think I'll do the same. I can't think of a better way. Thanks!

I'm converting the new AMT full-bumper Camaro to a 1973 car from my youth. It was a 350 2bbl, 4 speed car with added headers. I hope the pictures describe things well. More to come as I get things done. The front area below the front bumper does not fit well, and takes some work to get it installed. In my opinion, the front and rear areas MUST be attached to the body before paint. I'll figure out how to get the chassis in later.

If you're going to do this kind of Nova, be warned: the AMT based version has a chopped top. Try to find the MPC based model. The Venturas, luckily, were MPC. Bad Nova, and everything based on it. Good Nova, and everything based on it.

I used to swear by this clear, now I won't touch it. I assume they changed the formula(?)

Message sent.

Honestly, I've considered trying to do a Grand Ville, but I'm not convinced it would sell well. The Ninety-Eight might not either, but in the beginning I was building it for me. Several people expressed interest, so I decided to have it cast. One very talented individual intends to modify my Ninety Eight into a 4 door version. I'll have to get one of those! A '71 version.

Kris is the man. Really nice guy. I'd like to get up to Detroit before the year is out, and hang out with the gang...of which Kris is a member. By the way, if you see this, Kris, I have a master project in mind you might want to discuss.

There are no pronounced ridges here as on the kit. A relatively easy fix, though. LOVE the full-bumper version!

I need to finish mastering the parts. The rest is up to my caster.

Funny...that's exactly what I intend to base the bumper on. I just stripped the chrome on it.

This model is based on the Juha Airio 1971 Delta 88 Royale kit. Juha has approved this conversion. It is a master for an upcoming resin offering. Please excuse the picture quality.

If you do want to build the trailer, I've done it before. Really nice job on the Firebird! https://jimsuva.typepad.com/blog/2019/03/the-rockford-files-124th-scale-diorama.html

They seem to love it! https://myairbrushcompressors.com/review-master-tc-20t/

Not too bad, except for the fingers.
