2014 IHOBBY Info

Must be some special kind of flathead in that jalopy, four exhaust pipes and it's not an Ardun conversion.

Supposed to be a 427, not really convincing. Flattie is stock. Headers for "427" are 2 piece, held together by collector. Can fiddle for other stuff.

The main problem in using the AMT Victoria body on the Revell Deuce frame is the curvature in the bottom edge of the AMT body. A friend grafted on the bottom 1/2" or so of the Revell Tudor sedan onto the AMT Vickie body and it fit quite well.

Today I tried the AMT Vicky body on the fenders from the old MPC Switchers/American Graffiti '32, last seen as the Boyd Coddington '32 with big goofy wheels, and it was almost a drop-on fit. Should only take a little filing/sanding in the rear wheel area to drop right on that. I think I'm gonna build me a "switcher" drag gasser with both 5-window and Vicky bodies. B)

I was looking forwards to seeing more Photos of Ihobby ..................................?

There wasn't a whole lot going on there, I had to stretch my time there to 4 hours, and that even includes the time spent sitting and eating with a coworker as well as going out to get him from the lobby and getting him signed up to get in the door once he got there. It was better than last years, which was barely with the fuel to get to Schaumburg and back from West Chicago. My boss missed last years, but after this year's, told a customer that for the price of the round trip, a ticket (as a consumer instead of a vendor), and food, you could pick up two 6-packs of a good beer and a nice cigar and get more out of that.

I saw this list elsewhere, I make no claims for its accuracy.

Like Frank said, these are all either Q3/Q4 kits for 2014, seeing how Revell has been pushing back a lot of kits, I am guessing they have pushed back the 2015 Q1 announcement as well

But Revell isnt the only company that has been having to push release dates back.
