Me too, I just don't want to get any points for elaborating.

For that price it should come with a young Asian woman to do my bidding.

Could you use an old style metal axle wheel to mount the tire on and then chuck it in a drill or Dremel tool and use a razor or PE saw to cut the grooves? You would have to make sure the tire turns really true so the grooves don't get too wide.

It's not a high quality scanner but I will send the scan to you when I get it done. I should have the kit by this time next week.

A certain amount of flash is expected but when it completely distorts or webs together small pieces it does discourage me from building a kit.

Amazing build, I've got one of these in the stash that I want to get going on.

Check out post number 14 for some good shot of a frame that has been "z"ed in the rear. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59662&#entry714528

I needed the whole kit again anyway.

Search the forums for "Z"ing a frame, there are a few different posts about it.

The area that goes over the rear axle.

You can use whatever frame you like or even build your own.

I might try to make my own, I have some ideas I want to try. I scored on a Bigfoot kit like this one with the early decals, I want to scan them in my computer and play with them in photoshop. I will let you know for sure once I try a few things.

Looking good, you're in the home stretch now.

Those tires come in that kit, the Revell pro street 67 Chevelle.

The Eliminator package could be had with either the 302 or 428 engine and AMT made both versions and both are correct for a factory option. They put different wheels in each kit and when they used to put the description of what was in the box on the side of the box there wasn't any problem. It looks like somehow they test shot the 428 CJ kit but some time later decided to issue the 302 and just used the box art anyway.

Then put the above described wrapped model in a 1 gallon zipper bag, that way if anything does get loose it will stay with the model.

Typical corporate geniousry. Their parent company was a food wholesaler and somehow didn't see the value in owning restaurants. They decided to concentrate on their core business and sell of the fast food division. Then they were bought by Phillip Morris and merged with Kraft.

Their parent company decided that fast food had peaked in the early eighties and sold the chain to the parent company of Hardee's.

Okay, I have the red 428 CJ kit and the blue Wal-Mart kit in my stash, the blue kit has the square slotted wheels from the yellow kit and the 302 engine with the incorrect 428 Eliminator stripes. The red 428 CJ kit has the Cragar SS style wheels.

What kind of trucks do you like? There are a lot of great choices out there, narrow it down to a few brands so we can help you better.

This is what should happen to that thing [media=] God that is my favorite sound!

The blue Wal-Mart kit has the decals of the 428 version but actually is the 302 version.

That's the one, for some reason the decals come in the #12 but there isn't a Bobby Allison name decal.

Your watch kit was scheduled for release this month but it has now been pushed back to the second quarter of 2014.
