You know I love it. Ive seen the actual Tasca car in person many years ago. Wicked cool doesn't do it justice. I've wanted to build this model ever since the kit first came out Ive built 6 of these,,,so far. And have maybe a half dozen decals yet for others. Hope you don't mind but here's some inspiration for you.

Clean builders are in the $60 to $100 range I bought a real clean 1959 last year or so for.about $65 I think

Nice. Some one was just recently making this grill. I bought about half dozen of them a few years ago -

What did you see on the road today?
gtx6970 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Was actually last week. But saw A 1961 Chrysler Newport sitting in the parking lot near us. But still kinda neat to see (sorry...no pictures while driving ) -

I would like to have the body, glass and exterior trim from one of these. I could see a Rod Shop Prostock potential. -
Man I like that. Want to build one myself someday

1971 Charger Super Bee interior tub
gtx6970 replied to Ironman63's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The Revell 1971 GTX interior tub is 1/24th scale the AMT 1971 Charger is 1/25th scale -
The SS car was not campaigned in that form for very long. So pictures or rare. If you find pictures of the AFX sedan, its the same car just with an altered wheelbase

dang, Im hungry Myself and my oldest daughter are in Arizona. Wife and youngest daughter are still in Ky ( but not for much longer ) Been quick meals for us the last 2 weeks or so . So nuttin fancy

The one shown isa 440 car I am interested in color combinations and options in this body style. I MIGHT consider either a 66 Satellite , or maybe a 67 belvedere if the colors and options are there . But REALLY would prefer a 67 GTX 440 auto. And if I can find this exact color only with a copper interior , now that would get my heart pumping Although it would be nice , I'm afraid an original Hemi car is out of my budget

favorites I have owned in the past , 1969 GTX , Ive had 2 hardtops and 2 convertibles. ( all sold now ) Plan to own here soon. 1967 GTX Woudl LOVE to own one someday 1961 Chrysler 300 , convertible would be top of the list, but way out of my price range . so A hardtop would do nicely

Moebius /Model king 65'Mercury Cyclone A/FX
gtx6970 replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Anyone able to confirm. I recently read an article and they way I read it. While in Dyno Dons ownership the car was 427 wedge powered. it wasnt till he sold the car, it became SOHC powered And I can find any evidence the car was ever straight axle equipped during his tenure -
not a bad choice at all for a reasonable modern day toy. Ive never driven a GNX, but have driven several Turbo T types and impressive is an under=statement. A real good friend of mine has one that can comfortably click of high 10 second 1/4 mile passes and then drive it home with the ac on. Its a stock block and heads, Upgraded turbo and inter-cooler with water injection. He has a strong running 1970 hemi cuda and the Buick will eat the Cuda for lunch

If I have to open my display case and pick my absolute favorite kit ( that I have built at this time ) Is my AMT 1959 Edsel convertible . Even though I am a diehard Mopar guy and diehard Vintage drag car builder. This build just pops my buttons

pricing at swap meet/show
gtx6970 replied to jeffdeoranut's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
can honestly tell you. For pretty much ANY modern tool kit , made in the last 20 years or so , $15 to $20 is pretty much the norm at shows Even if its something very recent and you just paid $30 for. Your are not going to get your money back -
Agreed, I built one of the 55s. Probably one of the best kits Ive ever built. And I gave it away once completed. Need to build another one for myself My favorite kit to build ( and i have done several ) is the Revell Thunderbolt. A close second is probably the old tool MPC Funny car kits , in there various iterations ,,,,,. I am NOT a big fan of the same kits/subject matter from Revell . Followed real close by the Lindberg 64 Dodge and Plymouth variants. Although the suspension on them can be a little finicky. Otherwise they would be my number 2 pick
