Brett Barrow Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) The yellow street machine-only version of the '68 roadster from the 1988 Ultra Rods three-car set didn't include the L88 hood, but otherwise think you're correct that it was in all the other issues (of the '68 roadster kit). Didn't remember that one! Googling it and seeing that Pro-Street C4 takes me back, man i loved that kit. I built the Hot Rod Mag version with kit decals and some dark purple metallic Testors I mixed up for the Stingray III show car color. It was so sweet and so 80's... Maybe my favorite build I did as a kid. Edited April 19, 2017 by Brett Barrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my favorite build I did as a kid. I like those '80s Revell sets. The C4 pro street in the Ultra Rods set is called Bad Boy on the decals and has little skeletons mixed in with lightning bolts and stuff. Very '80s, and very cool.

Your correct Don, these two kits have the small block hood-my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Your correct Don, these two kits have the small block hood-my mistake. I'm pretty sure at least one of those boxings--maybe both--have both the small-block and the L88 hoods. (I can't find my copy, of course, just since I want to discuss it.)

gasman Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Picked up the rx7, straight reissue of the kit, includes all the racing parts, plus an excellent new decal sheet. Really happy too see this one back. Interesting thing is that this kit has pieces from all over the globe, tires and box made in Chine, decals from Italy, plastic parts molded and its all packaged in the USA.

The molded-in-yellow kit that's in the Ultra Rods set can only be built as the street machine and it only has the small-block hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I like those '80s Revell sets. The C4 pro street in the Ultra Rods set is called Bad Boy on the decals and has little skeletons mixed in with lightning bolts and stuff. Very '80s, and very cool. My favorite of that series of kits is the Rick Doberton Pontiac J2000 pro street! I built one exactly like the real one and it turned out great! Wish I wouldn't have sold it. I have three more though. Just need to build another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Wonder if they cut a new tool for the body and interior. Or modified the existing tooling. Meaning no more 68-69 chargers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 This whole thing is a new tool, Bill. Totally separate from the Pro Modeler '69/'68 derivatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Picked up the 69 Corvette today at Hobby Lobby in Columbia SC, it was sitting up on top of the model section, like it didn't have a slot for it. It was the only one there, also noticed the C7R Corvette was on the shelf.Sure hope they have the Foose F100 and Suburban this summer.

djflyer Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Which tires are included?I just picked one up also - an unexpected amount of flash on some of the trees but nothing that cant be easily fixed.The racing parts tree has the bolt-on flares, roll cage and seats, and the racing wheels are there also. Only problem is (for my kit at least) the only tires are some very skinny little street tires. They look undersized for street tires and will look really bad if used under the flares.Anybody else have one of these kits with more than one set of tires?

horsepower Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Foose FD-100 kit in my hands right now. They're out there my LHS got them in yesterday. It looks like a really nice kit.Thanks!! I was goinfg to ask if it had hit the shelves yet. You just solved that question for me. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Yup! Saw a couple perched on top of a Monogram '55 F100 pickup, resisted the urge to shake my head once more at the subject selection, and grabbed the one put aside for me. And y'know, if we're not gonna demand anything more than retread subjects when offered a choice on new tooling, the resulting kits could certainly be done MUCH worse than this. I'm liking mine a LOT so far. Just 78 parts, but maximum leverage on those for detail.They get the entire bed box/fenders/tailgate molded in ONE PIECE - with barely detectable seams! Maybe it's just my ignorance about the process, but I'm all, like, WWWWW-O-O-O-OWWW imagining the molds sliding in and up and out and down to produce that part.

Jon Cole Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 is it a prepainted kit like the Foose Corvette and Challenger?I have seen a mock up video of the Foose FD-100. Molded in white plastic.And it looks so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Received it today, opened it up, its a nice kit. A little simplified for my tastes but it has some nice parts, wheels are very nice, the tires are no names, guess I have to get used to that. suspension is ok, did Foose not put shocks on the front of his truck? The engine is great, I didn't realize he used a big block ford in his truck, I know I'll keep the headers for a ZR1 engine. Since I'm not into Fords, most of the kit will get resold.
