What's funny about the AMT Chevy and Pontiac engines is although they include stock style intake manifolds they donot include fans nor fan belts and generators so they can't be used in stock configuration while the Revelle engne kits have the parts for stock use including distributors to replace the magneto's.

Raoul, Thanks for the additions.

Thanks for your additions John, they've been placed on the list. I'm aware of R&D's status. I bought several of their Kits and White Metal accessories just prior to their demise. I'll be watching Missing Links Pages for the '70 Javelin. It's the sole car I need to have a kit for each of the cars Mark Donohue drove in the origional TransAm.

<p>I know there were some NASCAR bodies done by Mini Exotics that I haven't listed because I don't know what they were of! Also I'm badly lacking in Kit #'s so please chime in if you know'em, and as in the UMi list, if I missed Kits again jump in and I'll add'em in.<br /> <br /> <br /> Corvette G.S.

I have 5 of the UMi Kits and the quality is from HUH?? to fairly nice. Your "buddy" sounds like someone I'd like to know!

Thank You Vince. A quick trip in Google Land netted it was Kit #302. Lics updated

I had some time on my hands, so with the CD from Curt Raitz of the Motor Racing Replica News / Motor Racing Models series I looked at the Kits that were made by UMi and found an even dozen. Here's the resulting list: Ferrari 512 BB Kit #? Ferrari 512M (seems it is a Vac formed Body) Kit #401 Ferrari 166 Barchetta – Full Detail Kit #501 Ferrari 250 GTO/LMB (Transkit) Kit #402 Ferrari 712 Kit #206 Porsche 908/3 Targa Florio Kit #203 Porsche 908/2L LeMans, Martini livery Kit #204 Porsche 917/10 L&M livery Kit #202 Porsche 917/30 Sunoco livery Kit #201 Porsche 966 Kit #303 Jaguar XJR5 GTP Kit #301 Lola T260 L&M Kit #205 Corvette GTP Hendrick livery Kit #302 If you can add to or correct the list chime in. My next o.o.p. list will be for the Mini Exotics Cars (over 20 of'em)

Hummmmmmm 6 X 4 = 12?. My Pencil and paper comes up with 24, but like I said I'm no expert.

Hi There Brodie. I'm no expert but that engine sure looks like an inline 6 to me.

Thanks for the reply George. PM sent

Does anyone KNOW if the kit was of a Mk IIIB Coupe or just a MkIII Coupe with Sunoco markings and Pinstripes ?

Jon, well done. The texture on the Dash looks about perfect for 1:1 krinkle finish that was popular back in the era. Well done.

Checkin' ebay showed at least the Hawk Kits had decals in'em: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HAWK-WEIRD-OHS-LEAKY-BOAT-LOUIE-BOXED-1963-VINTAGE-MODEL-KIT-/380368201650?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item588fb627b2

Wow Bob, What an insane combo. A 427 Nash Metro. Ya know the candle on the birthday cupcake'd be the Gas Filler Cap from a '50's, 60's roadracer on the "trunk" .

Hey Casey, Any progress on the Turbine Itnava ?

Jon, the combination of your prior description of the Aux. Venturi material and the new Pics have answered my question. Thank You. A side note for any interested in building one of these. There are 2 different Monogram 904 kit's out there. One has Skill 3 on it kit # 2954 which is the one Jon is building and the other is Curbside. So remember no Level 3, no Engine.

Well I'll be! Any chance of a closeup shot of them on a scale with the Strap holders?

Jon, what a wonderful build of what at best is a poor kit for fit. Wondering what size tubing you used for the Aux. Venturi (the small rod inside the intake horn)? I'm goning to be following this build to the end.

You looking for somethings like these?: http://www.jimmyflintstonestudios.com/onlinestore/sunshop/index.php?l=product_list&c=5

I'd make a Lola T70 Spyder 4 in 1that included a Buick Nailhead, S/B + B/B Chevy's and a S/B Ford. Then separately sell decals for different Teams. Then the same treatment to a McLaren M6 A/B. Oh yea, and the cars in my sig.

Hey there Doc Of the two I like this one best. Heck the Ft. Bumper is even on stright :lol:

Hey it was just a W.A.G. never followed Collage Football. Heck in H.S. I didn't play "Stinky" sports, I was in Swimming and Water Polo :D

So, ya gonna paint it Blue and Yellow, then for Home Games fill the Dumper with Beer and Ice to be Dumped in the U of M's parking lot 3 hours before "the" game ?

Back when the Manx's first came out a lot of Renault Dauphine's were converted to Dune Buggy service. Water Cooled and at the time VERY CHEAP.

They went back earlier than the 60's Mark. Wednesday was Apple Strudel day - MOM, should I wave down the Helms Truck Today????? Loaves of Bread passenger/curb side up lifting door and Pastrys and Doughnuts out the rear on the sliding trays. 50+ years later I can still remember the smells................. Thanks for the Memories. But those Wheels......................
