I know I have a Revell 69 Dodge Daytona around here somewhere. I may have to get another one. Does anyone know if it's current issue?

Hey Craig, I don't think its in production now,,,I could be wrong though. I am pretty sure I have one of the old revell pro modeler kits of that car, cool kit I think it even has a few photo etched parts, grill screen in the front maybe, I would have to take a look and see but I am 99% sure I have one in the stash and the regular 69' Charger pro modler kit too. I will part with either if you need one.

if it is fake they did well, there is some sort of liquid under the car

they did do a good job, but they left out one small detail, fiberglass wont break in a perfectly straight line :D plus it would of been all ripped up, I only know from when my cousin totaled c3 stingray :D

Corvettes are fun, but they arent meant for teenagers(except this one :P ) :D

Im not sure if the pic is fake or not, but I have seen it in real life. I own a transport company and I watched a guy do it with a chevy nova. He was backing it on and he tapped the gas a little to hard and it went right off the top and landed on it roof. I almost crapped my pants. lol

So here's a mock up of my 70 Chevelle. Going for a pro-touring kind of style. I grabbed the 454 for my Nomad build, but happened to have a Nascar Chevy small block, that I think I'm going to use. It's not big C.I.'s but I think it would be plenty of muscle.

At this point I've scratch built the roll cage and am working on getting the suspension right for the low stance I want.

Paint I have planned at this point is british racing green over black, for a dark look. Thanks for looking comments welcome and appriciated!

The AMX's interior is done. It's not my best one, but it looks nice. I had some problems with the rattlecan paint I wanted to use, and had to strip the entire interior parts and start over. I used Testors CA wood paint thinned and sprayed with an airbrush. There's not much details in those old JoHan kits... but I really want an AMX!

Also, while searching for suspension parts in the parts boxes, I found a nice pair of side pipes. Then I remembered seeing a lot of AMX's with side pipes back in the day... And while searching for reference pics on the net, I found out that "trendsetter" side pipes were optional on AMX's and also available as dealer installed. I'm not a fan of side pipes, but I think they look good on an AMX.
