stavanzer Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 On these MS kits. Does anybody have pics of the Chrome trees for the 65 Fairlane, the '69 Falcon and the '66 Olds? I'd really like to see what they look like. I am fascinated with these kits, and acquire them when the budget allows. I wish round2 would do even a short run of these.

I didn't know about it back in the day, learned of it when I found the builder some years ago. AMT got their use out of that Falcon tool... This one is started, and it's possible it remains the only Falcon funny car kit I've seen in person. Finally got a '69 annual a couple weeks ago...it's lightly started, but I have been looking for a reasonably priced one for years. Now need to make time to compare the annual to this funny car....

Casey Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) ^^ Does that Falcon have heavy duty rear hubs, and maybe six- or eight-lug wheels to match? Edited March 20, 2018 by Casey

Same basic kit, but there are part and detail differences.

Here's the '69 annual built with the "gasser" or "funny car" parts. Is this about the same thing as the '69 Funny Car kit?

You wouldn't have all of the parts though. 14 minutes ago, Snake45 said: Here's the '69 annual built with the "gasser" or "funny car" parts. Is this about the same thing as the '69 Funny Car kit? The funny car is pretty much the annual's drag version. The body was altered with radiused/flared rear wheel openings, and the funny car chassis had the molded-in exhaust detail removed.
Chris in Berwyn Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Here is my '64 Galaxie. It was one of my first builds when I got back into the hobby 9 or 10 years ago. I have pretty much all the others that were re-issued in the last 10-15 years. Hopefully I will actually build a couple of them. They are fun!
shoopdog Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Here's my 65 Olds 88 that I just finished. Surprisingly kit decals were still useable.
mk11 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Sorry for the lousy pic but here's the buick and falcon chrome and wheels. Both wheels have six lugs and the falcon wheels are finned...
stavanzer Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks for the photos, gentlemen! That tells me much of what I wanted to know.

stavanzer Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Note that 6 (!) new builds of Modified Stockers have been posted in the Under Glass section. All are Brilliant Builds, and the various builders have done outstanding work on them. Inspiration for some clean builds. I really wish Round2 would pop some more of these out. They are just SO much fun.
OldTrucker Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I originally had all of them (originals) and sold them when the prices were high to help offset medical bills. Started gathering them up again and had most but then sold the 64 Galaxie, Torino, 66 Chevy and 65 Chevelle again to pay a doctor bill. I only have the Olds left to build after building the Falcon, Fairlane and Buick. I do hope the rerelease them again!
stavanzer Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I got the '69 Falcon, and have started building the '64 Ford. Hope to have at least one done by September.
stavanzer Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 I scored the Buick and the Olds. Still hunting the 65 Fairlane, the 65 Chevelle and the 66 Chevy. I'll get them, it just takes patience.

I'll get them, it just takes patience. There's a guy who has a bunch of these at the monthly local toy show I go to. Not sure which ones he has at any given moment, but I bought a Chevy from him a few months ago. I think he asks somewhere in the $30-40 range for them.
espo Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 Back when I was building a lot of NASCAR kits I bought several of these Modified Stocker kits. I never got the Falcon that I can recall but I still have the '65 Oldsmobile, '65 Chevelle, '66 Impala, and the '70's Monte Carlo. I think I'll have to revisit these in the near future.
Drag Monster Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 These kits were a great concept but the fit on the parts were the worst. It's a real challenge to produce a decent looking finished product. I thought this would be a quick out of the box build, was I wrong. I must have used a half of tube of epoxy to hold this one together.

As you show....with work they turn out OK
