Nesco x2, no problems for me as well.

While I like the Scenicruiser, you would have to make it Greyhound. The GMC could be any of thousands of schemes, which is why I would prefer the GMC release to the Scenicruiser. Like you said, the likelihood of getting either one is nil.

Not a muscle car, but I've always hoped to see a 1/25 scale GMC fishbowl bus. A more iconic vehicle you will never find, and the livery possibilities are endless. I will add a "me too" to the colonnade cars...I'd love to build them.

Never mind, someone already pointed this out.

Now that I think about ti, didn't the formal roof Cutlass Supreme have a completely different grille and front end treatment than the Colonnade style JoHan kit?

I think the B pillar needs to slant forward more as well.

I guess what I mean is they are different sizes. The Monte Carlo has a 116" wheelbase and is 213" long, the Cutlass (2 door) has a 112" wheelbase and is 207" long. I don't think that top is a direct swap. If you line it up with the windshield, it will probably extend too far onto the trunk area. Having said that, I will admit I've never tried it!

My problem is the Monte Carlo is scaled so much larger than the Cutlass. It'll take an artist to get that top to look right on the (in 1/25 scale) much smaller Cutlass.

This is the kit he used. The top fit well.

A friend of mine has made a 4 door '66 Bonneville using the 1/24 '64 GTO top. Ended up looking real nice.

FINALLY somebody built one! Thanks for the kind words, I was always frustrated that those nice 1/20 Econolines were not 1/25. Nice Econoline but that building is off the hook!

Cancel that. I see these are 1/24.

Not to be too picky, but MPC put the door handles in the wrong place. Too high on the door. Not a deal breaker, though.

I've done this conversion with an original '64 LeMans and a '65 Chevy wagon. Please note that the rear quarter tops slope down on the GTO. On the wagon they don't. I added a pie section to the middle of the rear quarter panel to raise the rear top portion up. Looking forward to following this one!

You may be planning to do this anyway, but are you going to add the ribs to the roof? That smooth roof is kind of a major oversight. It's also strange that the kit gives you no interior door panels up front. Looks great so far though. I'd never heard of that drive system!

Couldn't say it any better. I've been saving pennies for some time now. This will be my 2nd NNL East.

If anyone does have a problem with this, I won't be offended at all. The last thing I want to do is cause a problem. If this is disqualified, I have another option.

I've been looking for a reason to finish this..I will be using kit parts for engine and frame. Does the cab have to be from a kit?

This is the Missing Link cab built up. I mastered this one, and it has a few minor issues. The door handles on the real truck are old pull styles, not the flush pickup type like on this model. The dash is also from the previous generation on this size of truck (source it from Moebius Ford pickups). The dash for the AMT pickup is right for the pickup, but not this truck. I don't know when Kevin will start casting these again, I'm not aware of any damage to the master.

Does this help? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1975-Dodge-Ram-Van/143035607483?hash=item214d9629bb:g:760AAOSwV3hb9Y7I:rk:5:pf:0&vxp=mtr Scroll down, lots of pictures.

He wasn't at the Detroit show where I normally see him either. I'm not aware of any problems, but I believe he is moving his operation to another site. I'm not 100% sure about this, though.

Morgan Automotive detail has the bed. It's not on their site, but E-mail them...it exists, I have four of them.

EVERY model has flaws. In this case, they must be extremely small flaws. I like them both!

When I run into combative threads like this one, I usually just pass on participating. Since I'm nobody special, that's no great loss to the forum, but I know guys who could add so much to this forum,,,guys much more knowledgeable than I, and you'll never hear from them. It's really too bad. Civility, gentlemen...civility. I like models as much as the next guy, but if we're going to speak to/about each other like this, it's just not worth it. Reread the thread. Are we treating each other with respect?

Once you get the roof ribs on, you'll have to make inner door panels for the cab area. The kit has no inner door panels at all.
