Beautiful looking distressing on the finish. Looking at all the little details takes a while but fun as you start to notice all of the details. The orange Come-Along and Schlitz Beer ? I haven't had a Schlitz seins before I was of drinking age sometime in the last century.

Great looking group of builds. I'm partial to the El Camino and the Trans Am but would be proud to have built any of these.

That's the one I was thinking of. I didn't remember it being from MPC. I had a chance to buy one of these 1:1 campers on a Chevrolet chassis in the late '60's. The guy had already worn out the engine, lack of maintenance on his part, and the interior looked like they had a wild poker party that got out of hand and they never cleaned it. I think it was around 1969 or '70. I passed at $1000.00 .

Two sons and I only changed one diaper. I hurled for the better part of an hour.

Great looking trophies. I hope we'll be able to see pictures of the event.

Look forward to seeing pictures of this event soon.

I don't normally build this type of kit, but I'll be getting one of these. Just to nice not to build at least one.

The before pictures look more like a Destruction Derby car than a race car. Great save here. the hub caps were one of the standard parts in these early AMT 3 in 1's.

Beautiful looking finish. The interior looks great. I like the color a lot.

Other than the hood prop it's very realistic looking. Great paint work and I like how you did the OEM stripes.

I like your updated version. The roll bar is an interesting touch.

I'd say you nailed the look perfectly. I like looking at all of the little details from the grill "pulls" to the gas tank. You can almost see the metal flake gold seat inserts. The sprint car style steering looks just right.

Great looking build. I like the paint and interior colors.

Beautiful looking build. Your paint work was fascinating to watch as it came together. The window cooler looks perfect.

You did an amazing job on this conversion. I like the Taxi livery on this. Great paint and I enjoyed watching you work out all of the Taxi details.

I guess at this point in time there is no problem storing it outside. Something about this car looks familiar, as if I had seen a picture of this same car. A lot of work to restore the 1:1 but I like the diorama idea.

Yes I forgot about the Pinto and there was the Chevrolet Vega also. They were both kind of neat little cars and they did sell well.

The blue prototype that Casey put up looks great to me. Aside from the aggressive front treatment, I think they blended the rear wagon portion well in the design. I realize that outside of the Chevrolet Nomad and the Pontiac Safari this style has never been a big seller but they still look good. Most people going for a wagon look for a four door because they're hauling big families and what not.

This is starting to make me consider servicing the snow blower for this winter.

Those "Heavy Duty" axels were what most model companies were using in that era. This meant a gapping hole in the center of the engine when they started offering an opening hood and an engine, and 64SS350 is correct, they're the same axels as the promos of the day. Aren't you glad they have made advancements ?

AMT used to offer a chassis mounted cab over camper kit. I think it used a Chevrolet cab and chassis. As to weather or not it was a Winnebago I'm not sure. The point is any pictures of built models might give you some ideas for your build. I know that in the last year more than one has shown up on the forum and they can be found in some of the pictures from different shows also on this forum. Someone here might even have an unbuilt or built model and they may be gracious enough to share some pictures that may help you.

Great looking build. I have used that very same color before and it just doesn't photograph well. I'll bet this one really pops when viewed in person. The chassis is very nice looking, and it's nice to see the Rally's done with the correct Argent color on the wheels.

Nice clean looking build. I like the ram air hood also.

I really like this Galaxy. The paint finish is nice and smooth and the black color gives it a great sinister look. The interior colors compliment the overall look.

Beautiful looking, finally. I have had this and a couple of the companion kits that were offered at that time. I just never got around to building any of them and didn't realize until now just how detailed they are.
