I'll wager a bet the Turbine car, Rambler wagon, 71 cuda 70 cutlass make an re-appearence in the next 1-2 years I would not be surprised if the 69 roadrunner kit tooling is out there , any others I was told years ago , tooling was gone

Don't know yet. It should be here the 1st of the week . The Hispana Suiza kit arrived a few weeks ago. It looks real cool, and huge compared to my usual 1/25 th scale subjects. I have a couple different Chrys kits and another early 30's cadillac as well. These will be for much later on

Sums it up for me as well. I am in awe everytime I ck in on this thread

Looks pretty good . It turned out REAL nice . I've built several of the Lindberg 1964 Dodges, I have yet to do one of the 64 Plymouths, ( need to change that soon ) my one and only suggestion is, remove the nubs on top of the grille, they are not there on the 1/1 .

Most recent arrivals or enroute purchases Heller HISPANO-SUIZA K6 1933 Cadillac Town Cabriolet Testors/Italeri

If my wife and daughters would not use this PC ,,,, this would be MY new one

There are some amazing builders here with some HUGE talent. This one, John and his Freekshow, Mooneyzs and his Army Vega AA/FC . I feel so in adaquete. But I'll keep looking and building all the same. My hats off to you all.

You would never know it started life as sheets of stryene . Pretty cool,,, is an understatement

LOL , I didn't have a single picture of a 1973-74 car,,,,,,,, till now . I loose interest after 1972 so I guess I've never snagged any pictures of the later car.

I'd be good with any or all the above, especially a 1965 Plymouth,,

Just as long as the Lindberg 1964 Dodge/Plymouth kits don't vanish I'm good. I 'wish' they would update/modify/change the tooling to make a 1964 Dodge 2 door hardtop and a 1964 Plymouth 2 door sedan though

Agreed, I just went thru every picture of the Vanke Duster I have and there are no wheelie bars visisble in any picture I have As far as making your own I tend to think they would not be that hard to make from scratch

Good for you. Sounds like we have the same goals. Wife and I play on a winter volleyball league thru church, and I finally realized I need to loose some weight and get in shape to compete against some of these younguns. Already lost 7-8 lbs and I want to lose another 15. About 2 years ago I was up to 235 . Just trying to watch what I ate I lost about 10 lbs. But I want to get back down to approx 200 . But my main goal is lose the gutt and get in better shape overall. We tried the gym thing for a while and both of us hated it. Now we work in the living room on our own. 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. ( my insperation is she looks real good in her workout pants )

I have a feeling your thinking about he MPC kits, 1971-73 body style ? I know the Parnelli Jones kit is the later body . Polar Lights is a 1969-70 Body style kit

When I bought it, I don't remember but probably in the past 10 years. I'll have to ck the box

I'm gonna have to ck in on this one. I've always thought the 58 Cadillac looked SO much better than the 59. I was just unsure of the quality of the Imex kit. I may have to pick one of these up for later on

What is this thing called a book you refer to ,? I have a 4 drawer file cabinet filled with vintage magazines and 90% of the time when I need something . Google

my gutt says it's an exact re-issue of the GR / Bluemax cars, just different decals

Interesting setup. Best I can tell is they did away the upper spring, but kept the A arm / upper shock mounted position . Using the leaf spring as a torsion bar mounted in a fashion similar to a stock mustang strut rod arrangment. Cool, this shouldn't be hard to replicate

Gotta like a Thunderbolt. Especailly when WELL done. These are one my favorite kits on the shelf.

Probably has more to do with licensing than anything. Then again it may well be a test to see what sells best a no name car such as this compared to say the BlueMax branded kit

Allen, You happen to have a comparison pic.? I'm trying to picture this issue and ck the one kit I have here. Did or does or will Lindberg replace bodies like on kits with issues ?

Thanks , the car I have in process is the Gas Ronda long nose / wheelbase car. I've looked at the pictures I have of the car and it has what appears to be something resembling close to stock as far as the upper shock mount,,,,, just moved forward. But I can't tell anything beyond that

Edsels are one of the ugly stepchilds of the era. But this looks just plain cool. so just keep on rocking

Can anyone confirm the ft suspension used in the 1966 Long nose AFX mustangs . I've looked at pictures all morning and the best I can come up with is they used a stock lower control arm / steering setup. On what 'appears to be' a tube frame design . BUT, is it the standard mustang ' short upper / long lower' control arm set up with the strut rod design. I have a long sitting project thats calling out to me to finally get finished, and soon.
