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

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

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

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

VERY VERY VERY nice.,,,love the color I have to get one of these to build,,,,someday

In an old static cling photo album

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

Mike, Thanks for the note. And glad your happy with it. I kept thinking I needed to keep it,,,,,,,but I bought a REALLY nice builtup with its original box off ebay last year or so and decided this one need to go away. I also have 2 Mr Norms Chargers ( one is much better than the other ) and a decent Warlord Camaro builtup as well in case you know anyone interested And thanks again, Bill

Meaning it they're not at least 30 or 40 years old....they go in the trash can. I dont throw enough away as it is ,,and keeping semi recent boxes and/or instruction sheets is just not possibile for me .

Ditto, Anymore only something fresh / new will open my wallet .

Just like most of the boxes....in the circular file they go

I work for myself , Auto mechanic,,specializing in older cars

As far as I know...the 1969 barracuda annual never had a hemi. I have had several different re.issue vereions and they were always a wedge motor

I like it. And same here. ....been looking for one myself

Since the board change I cant delete private messges After some digging I think I can clean out my PM box, but it deletes them all and I dont want to do that any advise ?

I wouldnt call them a waste of stryene,,,but I have zero interest in any of them

I for one cant imagine producing a product thats already / currently avail by your competition on the market being profitable. But then again, I have ZERO interest in said product line so my opinion is probably moot point anyway

Awsome work. But I have to ask,,,how do you go about measuring or even knowing where to make you chassis cuts . Such as to know where and at what angle to make the rear section kickups as an example.

Thats it,, Its now official ,,,,,,,,,,,,you are the certified master of the interior. Can I send all the interior tubs to all my builds to you for to apply your craftsman ship to ......

After a small tour around the country courtesy of the USPS . I can scratch another one off my want list. ,,,,,,,,A 1961 Ford Sunliner builder. This one completes my wants for the 1958 thru 1961 Ford convertibles

Same trouble here, been happening since the board change.

This what I am thinking about doing. I havn't been to to Toledo in several years so this year might be the one

I have the intake, carbs and I think just one air cleaner . I would loan it to someone to make a copy ,,,but I want it back ( going in a Johan 1960 New Yorker builder I have )

Agreed, I want the 65 Comet more so than anything mentioned in the past 2 years. And I am a Mopar guy and still havn't bought a 65 Satellite yet ( but I plan to soon,,) I WILL get a 57 Del Rio wagon and probably a 61 Pontiac . But the Comet is right at the top of my want list for new releases

Like mentioned a simple coat of a semi gloss black ,,,,,,or bare primer. Then just some slight detail work with contrasting colors
