1978 LTD review build

[Jordan White]

here's the brochure for it if you want some ideas of what the real car came with.

[Guest Johnny]

My great aunt had one in the Antique Cream with a green vinyl top! Hideous looking thing!

Father-in-law had a white wagon with an emerald green vinyl interior that would transfer color to you and your clothes if you sweated or were wet!

I had seen several used as police cars! Mostly in small towns!

Thank you for posting that link, jordan. It will also give me some ideas on how I can build the grill

[Guest Mustang3.8]

I think I'm gonna add a poll.

Scratch that. I've made my decision. The car will be built as a New York yellow taxi with a 429 engine, steelies with baby moon hubcaps.

Who's making this kit? I could use about a dozen of these for all the ideas I have.

Wayne, that kit is cast by Missing Link Resins, out of Deeetroit. Kevin Lutz is the owner and a good freind! His quality is right up there with the BEST! it runs around 70 bucks and is well WORTH IT!!! Try one, you'll be back for more!!!

kevin i can't wait buddy and i was thinking men in black zuk great minds think alike i think my nan had one all i remember is that she used to drive her pet sheep around in it

[Guest Mustang3.8]

I can't wait either, Blake. I'm stoked to start this build.

Looks like a nice kit. I just saw a nice medium blue one with a dark blue vinyl top, with the fender skirts on the road today! I thought it was neat to see one on the road, and it was in near perfect shape, too.

[Agent G]

My departmentt drove these as marked cars when I started. This was one of the only cars I ever drove that I had to move the seat up slightly to be comfortable. THEY WERE BIG!

They'd run too,that shot of the taxi airborn is just about what it would look like going over the old streetcar tracks.

I just deleted about half the posts in this thread, they all had one thing in common: they had nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Keep your personal arguments and "trades gone bad" nonsense to yourselves. Work it out off the forum, either via email or PMs.

Thanks Harry!

How about a grandma's car? Maybe burgundy with a white top with a red interior.For motive power, you could toss in a 302 with the C-6 from either the AMT '66 Fairlane or '67 Comet.
