Salvo Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hi Niko! Actually... I bought the kit off of Ebay for $80.00(U.S.) and I believe it is quite old... The contents are typical for older kits... some flash, not a whole bunch though... decals are useless but that's ok, I have big plans for this kit in the near future! There used to be a Vega showcar named "Wild Horse" and I plan on building this close to that... Tubbed out, injected rat motor, the paint on "Wild Horse" was a copper/brownish color, I plan on going black with candy blue flames, maybe candy green with silver tips, we'll see!

Railfreak78 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 What would it take to pry that 75 Road Runner out of your hands? I never planned on letting this go to be honest. It's not in good shape anymore either. I bought this at Good Guys years ago and built it before I was in any clubs and knew how hard it is to get. I wanted to make a replica of my 76 Fury 2 door sport that I owned. This car got destroyed due to an idiot and I have been slowly getting the right parts to restore. The bad: is the pillars between the front and side windows is broke and needs replaces. The body does need bondo work on the roof. I have the headlights and grille but the taillights broke. Thanks to some guys on here I have Force 440 frames and interior bucket and hood. The good is that I never shaved off the Roadrunner logos on the sides. I planned on getting some of the conversions you promoted for Coronet conversions for the Fury and maybe restoring this as a Roadrunner.

Contact Kevin at Missing Link for the front Bumper, Those taillights on the other hand That sounds like a scratch build project, Or if you can find a junker with those parts in good shape. I'm an oddball for some reason, I like these cars alot, and just to give you a heads up,Everything from the DOH Police car will work to make this with a bench seat, You just have to trim the tub where the front doors locate .

( yeh they used 2 doors ) Had to sell it with 3 teenage kids, and gas milage at about 9 mpg. I couldn't afford it. Sure do miss that car. Always looking for a 1/25 scale model, not much luck.

What was the color combo on this car? I have been wanting to build one of those, And have only been able to find one photo of the real car .

spkgibson Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Heres the 76 Fury 4-door i'm working on right now, and the Car Lot in the background are just a few I need to finish :lol:That Body is the new 76 Fury Conversion kit that I got, It comes with the Body,Grill,Headlights and correct front bumper,The back bumper is from the 77 Monaco with the taillight area cut out to put the taillights in from behind just like the real cars were 75-76 Furys and Coronets were more sunk in, The 77-78 Fury and Monaco were more flush with the back bumper .

The enterior on the one that i had was a medium blue color. They were all 2 door models. I had some old pictures of the car somewhere but have not been able to find them. Hope this helps.

Ok thanks, As soon as I can find the decals to make one, I'll get started on it, And if your looking for a 77-78 Monaco 2 door kit, Model Empire has the 77 for $49 plus shipping which is $7 they are both the same cars .

Had hip replacement surgery 2 weeks ago, and will be laid up for 10 more weeks. My modeling budget has been suspended till i get back to work. As far as decals go, if you are looking for Ne State Patrol decals, you may have to create them from pictures. I never could find any. But hey, good luck with your project. And when you get it started post pics we'd love to see it in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 The '32 is just about finished... The molded-in upper radiator hose broke. I'll re-attach later when I feel like giving it a shot. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hopefully somebody is NOT loosing the hobby room Congrats? No, no, my hobby area is in the basement, and I have a 3rd unused bedroom that I had been toying on cleaning out and making into my office, but I guess it still needs to be cleaned out for a different reason. If I wait 9 years I can get a bedroom back when the oldest ones leaves...she will leave...right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
