- "Something differents..." *PICS*
- GET OFF MY LAWN... Sorry "BENCH" old man talk again. Just waiting for the decals but I'll call this 65 GTO a day. PIX and thanks for looking
- Hi All! Here is my 24 hr build I did over the weekend. A brand new Revell Mustang Mach 1 I got from our friends here at S[potlight hobbies. (PICS)
- Puts me right back in HS stance, wheels, tire sizes, trac bars, etc.... Nice job. *NM*
- Good looking street machine! *NM*
- Coolness Robert! *NM*
- Nice build and great color choice. *NM*
- Done in 24 hours!? Super cool build! Your distributor is OK. The coil on a restored car goes on the driver side of the engine. Here's a pic for reference, if you do go to move it. BTW, about those headers.... *PIC*
- Nice build!! *NM*
- Looks really sharp, Rob. The Cragars and paint really make it stand out. *NM*
- Re: Looking good *NM*
- Exactly the way I would have it. Not jacked up in the back…nice! *NM*
- Flashback to Dearborn HS! That's what they looked like innaday
- Refresh my memory--Did Revell do a gasser version of the '57 Ford wagon? I saw the gasser sedan at a LHS this weekend, but I'm looking for a wagon now...
- Some may like this, some may not. This is for those that might consider building something like this. That is, if they ever become available. ’71 Dodge Demon resto-mod *LINK*
- I saw the same car and had the same thoughts...I have one left and waiting for Matt and Dawn and something is on my mind in that line. *NM*
- The "big box store" in my area doesn't have ANY model kits. Maybe I went to the 'wrong one'.
- Nicely done and not too wild. Looking forward to that kit. Might have to get a couple. *NM*
- GET OFF MY BENCH.... Sorry old man talk but this is off my bench. My view on the 71 Demon. PIX and thanks for looking
- Very cool Frank! *NM*
- Looks good, Frank! *NM*
- Clean machine. Good advice too! *NM*
- Very nice work. *NM*
- Tasty looking Mopar, my friend...... Very tasty!!!!! *NM*
- Very classy subdued look for a hot little car. Nice job. *NM*
- Love the painted steelies look! *NM*
- Looks good Frank. Still have a can of Testors "green go" spray waiting for mine. *NM*
- Frank, nice work but I have a Q...I'm doing the AMT '70 Coronet & the side marker lights are giving me fits, how did you do these ones on the Demon?.....thanks. *NM*
- Very nice and subtle Frank. Love the rolling stock too! *NM*
- THANKS ALL...... *NM*
- Two thumbs up Frank!! *NM*
- Super clean build! Nice! *NM*
- Nice work on the Dart..For a Chevy guy you did that Mopar justice.. *NM*
- I have a 1930 AA ; flatbed with grain body. I, too, am anxious for this series! The Love of My Life was partial to the Phaetons but I was inclined to a Briggs bodied Leatherback sedan. sides. *NM*
- Only the first pic opened for me. The tiny pic icon with the words hosted by fotki each gave me this:
- That's it *NM*
- Uncertain T , revisited. I've never known if it was possible to edit something you've posted, as I made an adjustment to the build AND tried to get better pics. NEW PICS
- It's even better the second time around *NM*
- You fixed the headers, right? Looks really good. *NM*
- Very nice build! *NM*
- Looks great! Text of posts here cannot be edited on the board, but I think if you move or change the URL or file name of a pic the line in that post cannot find the orginal. Your post below illustrates that. Check it now to see what I mean. *NM*
- '67 Riviera finished , , [PICS]
- Well done. Nice and clean. *NM*
- Super nice. Are the emblems photoetch or did you foil kit? *NM*
- Beauty, eh? Lovin’ the Star Wars air cleaner! *NM*
- Yea, me too. '67 was the only year to use them. *NM*
- Just curious.... Even though it was only used on the 67, was it included in the later kits?
- Yea, they're in every fastback Riviera since. The newest '69 kit I have has it and I also have a builtup '68 with it on the engine. They seem to be missing the two small pieces that attach to the sides though. I destroyed the ones on this one and was going to use the ones,,, *PIC*
- In the instruction page you posted, it shows the engine having an option of "Hilborn" fuel injection. Is that in the latest '69 kit, too? *NM*
- Thanks... That explains it! *NM*
- That's wild that they supply the manifold, but nothing else? (stacks, timing cover, fuel pump...) *NM*
- No stacks so it fits under the hood. Notice the "fuel injection pump" that replaces the power steering pump *NM*
- Oh yeah, I see it now. Thanks. I believe that's pure fantasy on the part of the kit designers. *NM*
- Pretty sure they'd fit Mark. The stock air cleaner and carb sit pretty high to start with. I cut the mounting tab from the bottom of my air cleaner so it would sit lower and look better. *NM*

- Looking great Steve! *NM*
- NIce build! What color did you use? *NM*
- BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
- I'm with David.... No other word fits better than, BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
- WOW!! *NM*
- Very nice build, Steve. The color is perfect for that car. *NM*
- Very nicely done, I'm in Riviera mode now, working on a custom '63, so it's great to see such a nice build, I'm using some of that kit's stuff. Cheers! *NM*
- Very clean build as usual. I particularly like the tinted windshield. However it needs an NB plate *NM*
- That looks perfect, Steve. The redlines pop the finish, and the Buick rallys look great *NM*
- Very sleek looking Heavy Hot-Rod. Nice job. *NM*
- Nicely done and great detailing on the chrome esp the emblems. *NM*
- Beautiful resto Steve. The color, details, just super nice. *NM*
- Beautiful! *NM*
- Great job! I love that you're building your old unbuilts! It's nice to see a blast from the past like that. After all, they were made to build... *NM*
- Love that black '66 hardtop; makes me miss my old parisienne. Rumpety-rump cam in a small block, it had reeeeaaall long legs. Could take anything on the highway, and did until I hit a frost heave at 116. We survived but took things a lot easier after that :) *NM*
- WHOOPS 12 inches get trimmed from back, not 20... 8 from the front and 12 from the rear makes up the 20 inch bed length reduction needed for the shortbox. Sheesh! *NM*
- Excellent build, Dave. *NM*
- Yeah, you’re probably right, but the takeaway for me is that the old Monogram kit will probably never be reissued, if the tooling is truly lost.
- Revell 1937 Ford Sedan/ convertible / coupe conversion question
- I would go with the old Monogram 36 Ford kit.... 1/24 scale it's practically a drop in. *NM*
- Though not exactly the same, Ford frames interchange among '35-'40 cars and '35-'41 pickups. The '37 is 1/24 scale, limiting you to the Monogram '36 coupe and '40 pickup as possibilities *NM*
- The '37 car kits will literally fal into place of a '37 Ford Pickup chassis.
- Well, close enough. As you will clearly recall, Truck guys wore white socks and shirtsleeves with HD pocket protectors
- Gator-tape the bottom of the mount to a 'coin' of plate steel
- Pics? The A roadster pickups are a favorite *NM*
- Boom shakka-lakka! *NM*
- Finished My 24 Hour Build PICS
- Woulda, coulda, shoulda! With a few tweaks, that would be a fantastic phantom build in 1:1. Great job on your build, it looks outstanding *NM*
- Very nice!!!! You're gonna have Frank frothing at the mouth over this one. LOL *NM*
- Neat concept and execution! *NM*
- Dave, I tried emailing you but the email on your profile bounced back. Please email me... *NM*
- Very creative. Sharp looking as well. *NM*
- Looks great Dave. Very convincing piece. Looks like GM could have made it. *NM*
- Really cool. Like Ragtop said, this would be great in 1:1. *NM*
- That is so cool! Are any more of these available? How do I get one? :) *NM*
- WOW!! *NM*
- That looks great and could've been a factory offering! Not much room in the bed, oh but it DOES have a frunk! Beautiful! *NM*
- Sweet! *NM*
- Very unique build out of the normal box. *NM*
- Great build Dave! *NM*
- Very cool!! I wonder if GM actually explored something like that back in the day. *NM*
- would you believe there are 9 pieces of plastic glued, sanded, filled and sanded again to make that tunnel *NM*
- Thanks for the nod, Dave. Glad to have helped out. Yours came out great! Cheers....TIM *NM*
- You've got a unique build going on there. I really like it. I hope you try to finish it one day. *NM*
