Casey Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) I picked up a bunch of parts this weekend, and while sorting them found some intersting and/or unkown parts which I could use some help identifying. 1) Unknown hood: 2) Convertable top, possibly for the MPC Jeepster/Commando?: 3) Scoops/blisters?: 4) Front valance panel?: 5) Rear window louvers, possibly from a Revell '70s car (Monza, etc.): 6) Rear camper shell for an El Camino, possibly the 1/32-ish Lindberg kit? It's way too small to be 1/25 scale: 7) Front bumpers from '75-'77 MPC Camaros?: 8) These are definitley Monogram parts, as the wheel parts fit their Goodyear Rally GT tires...Poison Pinto maybe? I'm hoping the avocado color is the tip-off: Edited December 8, 2010 by Casey
Casey Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 9) Unknown street rod/hot rod chassis. Looks like a straight six and appears to be AMT or MPC:

I have seen that shape for the Trans Am type back windows. Not that specific one, but that style and shape. Maybe that could get you closer. Barry
Casey Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) There was also this 1/25 '67 Camaro SS convertible body, which I'm assuming is an MPC piece?: I found this SS hood, too, which may be AMT or MPC...but it fits very well: Edited December 8, 2010 by Casey
jw78z28 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 # 5 the blue louvers go to the mako shark corvette and the black louvers go to the street fever corvette buy MPC green parts look like the dr feelgood 39 chevy not sure hope this helps
george 53 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Nu# 3 are headrests, nu# 5 is the roof extension from the Tom Daniescustum street Vette by Monogram in 24th scale. The chassis with the six looks to be from the AMT 53/55 Corvette, The Camaro is an AMT original issue. Hope this helps.
Draggon Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 The red hood with the scoop looks to be off an MPC Jeep, the black soft top is indeed off a Jeepster, and the green parts are off the original release of Monograms 39 Chev delivery.
Casey Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks for the help, folks. I've got a few more pieces: A) Dual blister windshield, I'm guessing from an early Corvette kit?: Camaro SS grille from AMT or MPC '71-'73?: C) '67 or '68 AMT or MPC Mustang?: D) Tonneau cover and front valence from early Vette?: E) Clear hood and T-top panels from a 1/20th Vette kit, probably MPC?: F) Might this be a Chevy Blue Flame six from an early Vette kit, too?

MrObsessive Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 #3 picture looks to be streamlined headrests from the AMT '64 Corvette Convertible kit. I had one years ago and seem to recall those headrests. Letter C pic looks like a '68 Mustang Shelby grille perhaps?
disabled modeler Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I think the red hood with the scoop is from an old early modified stocker dirt track car...maybe the Chevy?
Modelmartin Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 The Mustang grille with the moon tank in could be the Mustang showcar that AMT did. I think it was called the Autolite Special. It was a real show car from Ford. Those funny green seats might be from the Monogram 39 Chevy Coupe or Sedan Delivery.
mikelo Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I know pic #7 is the back to one of those Tom Daniel's Vettes. I believe the Camaro SS grill is from a MPC annual kit. Marc Nellis has some of those and can tell you exactly which kit it is from.
george 53 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Found the hood, Pic#1 on a kit on the bay. It is from the 65 Mustang Dirt track car. it's in the built section of the model car area. but yep, that's the hood.
