Does anybody else see this need???

I did get promo engine inserts, promo wheels & rear bumpers from the Modelhaus some time ago, eventually, I’m going to do phantom 500 and Daytona promos. I can’t afford to get into the promo game, but when I compete them, I’ll have two really cool ones.

You know- if somebody did a GL conversion kit for the Revell kit (decals, wheels, brush guard... and any other thing I might be forgetting), I think that conversion kit would be a decent seller.

That’s just about the reverse of what I was suggesting- and the right way to go if you want to build a nice GL. 

 

Slixx does the decals, and Fireball Modelworks does a nice set of wheels and tires. That would leave  you with the cage and push bar, which could be scratchbuilt. You could probably scare up a CB radio and antenna from almost any 70’s era kit (like the recent MPC reissues of the AMC Pacer, Chevy Nova and Plymouth Volare).

Yeah- but going through the posts got me thinking about that particular approach

About 10 years ago I wanted to built a replica of the General Lee. We have seen every show many times and knew the car and all the details well. I bought the GL kit and found that it was junk for all the reasons listed.

I used the decals, the wheels and a few other little bits and then bought a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T kit from Revel, it was a very nice kit, great detail and very correct. I had to fix a few little things, but in the end it can out to a really nice GL. I would post pictures, but it it currently packed.
