    Hope its just a picture angle but it looks like the front edge of the roof / top of the windshield opening .....curls upward? If that's the case PLEASE fix it before release

    I like it, I have one I keep thinking I need to go ahead and build it for a slump buster

    Want a case of these. Is the roof supposed to be repaired in this issue ? And yes it is the one needed to do the Bill Jenkins - Black Arrow car

    Pin it. Superbird wings were never painted on the car

    Not to bust your bubble ......But on an actual 1968 Hemi Dart...The battery is in the trunk Otherwise it looks fantastic

    Count me in as another vote for a 56 Continental kit in 1/25th scale. I have always liked the looks of the car

    Those were good looking cars. Friend of mine used to own a black on black one with the 425 ? with 2 fours. For a big car that thing would FLY

    This week I picked up an empty box for wall art of I think is 1970 Camaro And 3 builtups........ AMT 1959 Impala Craftsman series,,,,, MPC 1971 Cuda and a AMT 1961 Sunliner . Got what I thought was a good buy for the 4 pieces ( less than $80 for it all )

    Sorry , not a fan of skirts , UNLESS ,,,,,,,,, when they have a nice pair of legs sticking out of them,,,,,,But thats whole another story line that could probably go all wrong

    Havent seen it in a while. But there use to be a 62 Galaxie vert around here locally. Black with red int. 406 4spd . I REALLY liked that car. Same guy also owns a white with red int 63 vert , I heard a few months back he had put a cammer motor in the 63 but I havent seen it yet

    Even though I am not usually a hot rod fan / builder . This car just pops my butons in all the right places,,,,,So I want to replicate it as close as I can. Anyone know the style or name of the wheels , Is anything close avail in 1/25th scale ??????

    About every order I've placed with Slixx has taken 2 or 3 weeks. just be patiant . Considering the fact they are even doing this particualar sheet , I would bet they are swamped with orders for them

    Agreed, But a clean builder 58 is TOUGH to come up with,,,,, in either form. I looked for nearly a year before I got one,,,,and it still cost me over $50 with a heavily customized body Luckily our resident annuals builder guru ( aka StevenGuthmiller ) gave me a body to fix the one I got

    Fantastic, But my bank account sure wishes you would stop.,,,,,,,,Every time you get one of these old annuals finished It adds another one to my want list
  15. gtx6970
    me three,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I like the 58 more than the 57

    What is this thing called Planning you mention.? I see a subject I like ,, then go from there. Which usually means I look for and buy the subject kit,,,, then I see something I like and the process repeats. The problem with this method is nothing gets built ,,,but my stash grows and grows and grows .............

    Or put a counter sunk machine screw inside the tubing , then mount the tubing in a vice and slowly pressing the screw into the tubing will flare it out,,,,be advised go SLOWLY
  18. gtx6970
    REALLY Nice haul. I am so jealous If you want to unload the 59 Dodge or the Plymouth, PM me
  19. gtx6970
    This is one of those kits I am on the fence to get or not. A friend of mine had a 7 litre Galaxie back in high school and we had lots of fun in the big ol sled . For a big car it ran pretty well
  20. gtx6970
    Pretty cool idea. It doesnt matter if it was feasible or not. Manufacturers did stuff like this ( then and now ) quite simply,,, because they could and to push the envelope
  21. gtx6970
    Looking pretty good so far. I like it bigtime,,,,,,,,I've been wanting one of these to build for some time.And this thread has me thinking I want/need one But to me the body looks to short compared to the roof height . And it keeps me from pulling the trigger on one,,,,,maybe I'll get one,,,,,,, just because
  22. gtx6970
    I have one of those 4 drawer,,, 5 ft tall file cabinets,,,full of old magazines.,,then in one of the boxes oranges were shipped in is full of National Dragster magazines,,,,,, Nothing newer than about 1974 or so
  23. gtx6970
    VERY VERY VERY nice.,,,love the color I have to get one of these to build,,,,someday
  24. gtx6970
    In an old static cling photo album
  25. gtx6970
    I have been thinkign I want one of these to build for myself. But every time I see one it looks out of proportion to me. I know Johan did a 1958 and I think I may go that route myself. which is a shame the 57 Is a very nice looking car
