Sorry, I mistook it to use the entire frame ,,which I think would be easier to fab from scratch as opposed to all the changes required to the entire frame to look reasonably close to a C body chassis In regards to the front inner fenders, look at the same in the AMT 1962 Catalina as a starting point maybe ?

VERY VERY nice. Love the colors

nice review, thanks. I have a 'slight' interest in this kit . I will most likely grab one at some point ,,,,,But I think I'll wait and pick one up with a discount coupon at Hobby Lobby or something.

The 57 Chrysler 300 had a full bolt in frame,,,, the C body line in the early to mid/late 60s was a welded in rear frame to integral solid floor pans Something to keep in mind depending how accurate you want to be, the track width is wider on the C body cars compared to the B bodies

The only flip front car I have , or any interest in having Chris Langs Malco Gasser Corvette

Sweet, I like that one A LOT can I have it??????? lol

Steve, Good deal,,,,,,Glad it made it ok. Looking forward to watch you work your magic on it . I bought it new ,,many many years ago . The chrome has been wrapped in a paper towel almost from the day I got it . I've got 2 more in almost the exact same condition,,plus a couple more with minor issues But I think I got the better end of the deal, a REALLY nice 1960 Oldsmobile hardtops don't exactly grow on trees ,,,and its going to be pretty close to the front of the line when I get back to the bench this fall . I plan to get a couple car bodies painted in the next few weeks. but any sustained model bench time is about to get very limited for me

My exact thoughts. It would have went sailing away long ago if it were mine . Just push thru and forget about it. I am sure the end result will be worth the little bumps along the way

I've looked off an on for a while. ( I have the same project on the short list myself ) and cant find an interior pic that I think is from the same time frame as the movie.. And my magazine collection is much earlier than the time frame the movie was made So,,,, I am just go to do it in a black vinyl bench seat and call it good

Trading hasn't really worked all that well for me . I figure by the time I factor in what I have in my kit , plus ad postage to get the one I want . I can just buy the one I want and keep the one I have usually for less than what I'll have it it as a trade. Not trying to sound mean, just I prefer to not loose money if I can avoid it. Older long out of production kits is a different story . I actually just did a trade to get a 1960 Oldsmobile builtup. using an unbuilt Johan 63 Fury as trade material. I certainty think it was a fair deal ( at least I hope the other party is happy with the deal ,,,I know I am ) Parts request is a different story, and I've done a couple parts trades with a few members with good results for both sides. But most of the time if I see a wanted ad for parts, and I have it with no immediate use for it and its not something to hard to replace should I happen need it later on. ,,,,,. I'll just send it with no worries on my end to get anything in return . To me its just most likely collecting dust anyway .

Tom, Very well said. But IMO . I think IF someone buys out the rights , tooling and molds it will have to be an established resin caster. Not only are they going to have the costs of materials and supplies,,,they will also have the overhead of buying out said molds . So trying to keep there head above water AND start from scratch to establish a market presence will make for a tough road to travel for someone new in the business . I certainly hope someone picks up the torch and moves forward with it , but I'm not holding my breath that happens either.

Interested in this one. I plan to move to the Tuscon AZ in the next few years and it would be nice to know whats in the area . We will be in Sahurita area this summer for 2 weeks visiting family. And our plan is take a day and spend it with a realtor to do some looking around . The winters here have gotten to me over the years and I am so done with cold weather

Not my cup of tea so to speak, ,,,,,,,but wow, your fab skills are off the chart

Very nice, These cars were so ugly, they're cool . There were a few 62 Dodge builders on eBay last week with the up top included.

Nice, very nice. I used to work at a Firestone tire store back in the early 80s and a lady used to come in all the time for service work driving one of these . She had bought it new and drove the snot out of it . Last time I remember seeing it was maybe 1985 and it was looking kind of rough. But ran REAL GOOD

Looks like enamel clear over lacquer base coat ? or mixing different base coats with another manufacturers clear ?

When ??????? I had a feeling the next version would be this car or maybe the Sox and Martin sedan

I've been working on a list of parts and pieces I will need in the future for the past few weeks . Once they re-open ( think / hope they will ) I will hit submit and wait. These are all older annuals . So I am in NO hurry to get them,,,but I want to get the parts while I can .

After some more digging. I figured out the truck I want to replicate is actually a 1971, So while I was out this afternoon. Hit my local hobby shop and snagged the only one he had on the shelf . Now, I need to find the wheels / hubcaps and a camper shell to fit it

I LIKE IT , I LIKE IT A LOT I've been wanting one of these strictly because I think the lace decals are cool

I got 5 sheets directly from BMF ,in Oct of 2015 I just opened and ck'd all 5 , no marks on any of them

I see the 1970 that's coming is a short bed. What other version do I , or will I need to do a 1970 long bed ? I want to do the truck used in Funnycar summer , I think its a 1970 Long bed F250 camper special with a low profile camper shell on it Is there a source for the 8 lug 16.5 wheels and tires and the small hubcaps How about the camper cap

Guy kneeling in the front reminds me of Austin Coil

I buy it straight from them manufacturer, that way I feel is the best chance I have of getting it fresh and as new as possible.
