We think A LOT alike . Being a product of the late fifties myself . I tend to gravitate to the cars of that time frame . And I would gladly pay $50 or so for a NICE kit . ( God knows Ive paid for more than that for a good portion of my stash as it is ) pm coming btw

You already know I like them. Nice

Phil Bonner / AL Means Ford Thunderbolt

In all honesty, I don't remember for certainty. I know I have the Fugitive, the Butch Leal car. We are planning a cross country move early this summer. so about all my model stuff is packed up or about to be in prep for said move. Jacks decals are sweet. You will not be dis-appointed -

Thanks. I have 6 built so far. Maybe enough kits and decals to do maybe 3 or 4 more. It is hands down my favorite kit of modern times -
not entirely true. builders pop up for sale fairly regularly. And USUALLY sell for similar money to the Modelhaus resin kit. I have a really clean builtup and dont have anywhere near invested in it the Modelhaus kit was ( just bought it last summer off Ebay .) Actually I have 1 - 1968 Coronet hardtop. 3 - 1968 RT convertibles 1- each of the 1969 Coronet in hardtop and convertible versions All but one of the 68 convertibles were bought in the last year or so and none were over $100 ea

Agreed, Ive been thinking I need to do this one as well.

Thanks fellas I have builders of both the 1959 and 1960 Johan annuals. Plus I have all the AMT/SMP 1958 annuals so it seems only fitting to add one more( like I really NEED one more ) I'm not against paying up just a tad to get the Johan version . But for the prices I seem them today on ebay,,,I'll pass completely . Although I would prefer a convertible,,,,,, I would take the more accurate Johan to keep it 1.25th ,,,,even if its 4 door. Resin is not my 1st choice ,,,not matter the scale or body style. Anyone got one they are thinking to cut loose any time soon? ps, wasn't there a Revell kit that had a multi piece body ? Comments good bad or what .

Ive found Imii, Heller and Amex , may be all the same kit just reboxed ? Plus the old Johan promo kit ( which would be my 1st choice if the price were comparable)

What did you see on the road today?
gtx6970 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Not today, but a few days ago saw a really nice looking 1960 Chrysler New Yorker . . -
Guys, Im thinking I need a 1958 Cadillac kit in the pile . Question is , WHICH one is the better option Id prefer 1.25th. but if 1.24th is my only option. I may go that route

Wheel source for a 1937 wrecker

Missing link makes or at least made something like those. -
Love it. Sure wish I could find a clean builder for my own. Thats one of a few I have yet to come up with for myself
-
Essentially, Yes. Except for the intake , and exhaust manifolds .( and sometimes valve covers ) they are all basically the same outside appearance
-
I guess Im sort of a scale snob. I cant or ' will not buy or build a 1.24th scale kit. No matter the subject. The difference may be minor , but sitting side by side the difference is VERY apparent
-
Give me a day or so. I may have a wing to spare . Ive had several of the Johan birds in various stages of completion . . I still have maybe a half dozen unbuilts ( none for sale before anyone asks )
