Dreaming of a model?

[Austin T]

Hmm I wonder who would like these kits?

Ralph Nader.

YES! YES! YES! I'd explain how I feel, but this a family forum!

I want a dozen each Lakewoods and Greenbriars! Especially if they make it so it can be built as a cargo or passenger van or the camper conversion parts. That would be fun, too.

I also have had a few dreams that involved models. Not all of them were of the boxed variety

Me too!

[Junkman]

You are mean!

[wrecker388]

DEFINITELY one of mine!

[Junkman]

DEFINITELY one of mine!

It's certainly very high up on my list.

Today is the day for all who live in the arid zone.

Christian, you are THE MAN!!! I'll take a case of each of 'em, please.

(... But you ought to talk to your inside man at AMT about that '62 Monza coupe kit, since the artwork is of a 1960 model. I've seen typos on kit boxes before, so it wouldn't be the first time! )

[Junkman]

I thought the earliest Monza is the '61?

[cnaind]

'62 was the first year for the Monza.

How 'bout a Facel Vega??

[CorvairJim]

'62 was the first year for the Monza.

The 1960 Monza was a mid-year introduction, unveiled in February of 1960. It was only available as a Club Coupe at first. Until that time, ALL Corvairs were sedans. The base-model 500 and mid-level 700 got coupes at thaty time too. In 1961, the Monza expanded into the sedan lineup, but the new-for 1961 Lakewood station wagons were available only as 500s and 700s. In 1962, the wagons lost the Lakewood name and their 500s, buit the Monza was now available. The slow-selling wagon was discontinued mid-year to allow room on the production line for the new convertibles.

This would be cool to have on stash too. I would get two of them, other would be a Replica of my Dad's car, he used to own in the '80s. It was never finished, though, but I would build it just like he planned to do. Other would be bit like the car in the picture, so it would be Box Stock.

I'd like to get this one too, since I like Group B Rally Cars. Nowadays those WRC Rally Cars don't interest me, but these old Group B cars are great. Especially the Lancia S4 driven by Henri Toivonen & Sergio Cresto.

Oh and I had to test how my '57 Chevy would look in Monogram's box.

[W-409]

I'd like to get a Model Kit of Edsel Bermuda '58. AMT 2 In 1 Kit would include some Custom parts too, that would be great to have...

Other one what would be very interesting, is Chevrolet Malibu Classic. Great basis for Street Rat style build, or Stock Eliminator Drag Racer.

And '63 Impala Z11 would be very interesting, too. This kit would be great basis for other '63 Chevy builds, since I've heard that Revell's body is not correct shape, and AMT's only good part is the body.

[charlie8575]

The Bermuda would result in at least one or two sales to me, anyway. An A (later G)-body Malibu would also be well-received by me, and if a wagon, in cases, especially if the correct nose-clips and interiors were supplied to make all four variants; and were all of them came with 305s one model year or another, one engine could be supplied!

I never heard the incorrect body leveled at Revell's '63 Chevy, although I'd imagine you could put the AMT body on the Revell chassis and interior and get a pretty decent model if that is in fact the case.

My vacation is quickly coming to an end and I am thrilled to soon get back to the bench where this thread has been an inspiration. Thank you.

Thought it would be interesting to see if anyone has had any strange or weird model related dreams. I had one last night. I bought this Revell kit, it had nicely done tampo printed tires, they were redline on one side, narrow whitewalls on the other, but they were the old Michilen TRX tires, and Reell didnt even remove the old lettering!

[cobraman]

Never had one that I can remember. That not kind of model at least. : )

[Dr. Cranky]

I dream about building models all the time, sometimes dreams are the source of my crazy ideas.

[Green Duster]

I have one that keeps coming back. I'm in an old store and find a stash of old, I mean OLD 50-60's car

kits at original prices. Boy, I wish!

[Hollywood Jim]

I have dreams about models all the time. In fact last night there was this blonde model who was calling my name as I watched her pose for pictures.

And then when I asked, "what's your name" she walked over to me and....... Oh wait !

You mean model building! Oh OK..... Never mind.

I once dreamed that the '73 Chevy kit had been reissued. The dream was so realistic that later on I believed it actually happened and I had one in my stash. Once I couldn't find it, my friends convinced me it didn't really happen.

[Rob McKee]

Often I have dreams that I acually finish all of the kits I have started.

[Ace-Garageguy]

I dream from time to time about my old Lotus Super 7, lost and gone forever. Really a very large model car, and taken apart and rebuilt frequently while I had it. That and terror dreams about going very fast backwards in a Pantera, downhill, with no brakes........only 2 car-anything dreams I can recall.

[Austin T]

The merge of these two threads might have looked good but now it's kinda akward.Going from fake box art to dreaming about being in a hobbyshop.Not trying to compain or anger anyone but It's kinda wierd.....
