I know really late to the party and kinda off topic for the direction this thread went but here's why the funny car glass in the Nova in case anyone's interested

my son txt me this one from the road, thought someone might get a laugh from it

I'm thinking things that follow the current trends in hot rodding would be great sellers, go to any show and you see lowered and pro touring style cars everywhere and its been that way for many years, the kits with the large diameter tasteful styles wheels have been ok but don't represent the proper stance without reworks to the chassis, coil over and air ride style suspensions would be welcomed on most any of the popular car models, as would modern drivelines things like big turbos and LS engines even modern Hemis, I hate to buy 2-3 kits to build something so I don't buy much these days cause the reissues just don't interest me been there done that kind of thing also someone there should follow completed auctions and see what consistently sells for decent money the 1st gen S-10s and late 60s-early 70s C-10s come to mind as examples

well since were dreaming I'd love to see an 84-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ, I think it could have or would still be a tremendous seller, they are still super popular in the off road community, were used for mail, police and other government branches 84-96 would probably be the best cause there were just minor cosmetic changes between the years and the resin guys could help fill in the year specific parts another would be a proper wide eye VW Baja Bug any year

super nice really like the weathering esp the body molding areas

very cool project. would love to build a replica of my real 69 so how hard do you think it would be to convert to a wide eye? or are the fenders cut to high ? my scratch building skills are pretty poor, do the Revell and Tamiya kits both have swing axle rears and king pin fronts ? thanks

One last thing. Does anybody know of other Demon models in other scales, or as funny cars and things like that? I have the Johnny Lightning die cast, and I've seen at my local model car club a larger die cast Demon. But, nothing in plastics or as a kit. R. Scott (aka Uncle Scott) Revell did the Revellution F/C in both 1/25th and 1/16 scale

stunning all around

x2 on the Model Cave

I read years ago 1hp for every 10lbs of car

very nice

2 completly different toolings the 74 GTX was out in 74 then again in 83,then sold in the AMT box a few years ago also in the checker board style box by AMT,then it was re decaled back in a MPC box and was Daisy's Road Runner,then the collector tin the 71 Road Runner was last out in 87 so I don't believe they would modify the 71 tooling to make the 74 RR since the 74 was already in the line recently
