Re: My 1:25 project
Cool model, I would say those mold lines on the bed may be from the likes of a Fall Guy model truck
Wish I could get one would turn it into a RC car

Re: My 1:25 project
The one near me still sells SOME... but they are usually the hydro impalas, caprices, etc.. and the old hotrods. I have the 73-79 stepside 4x4 but havent seen another 73-87 model around. I have seen a 67-72 at Hobby Lobby with some chrome 20"s... I had planned to do it and install "air suspension" on it but never got around to it.

Re: My 1:25 project
There is lots of older 73-87 models out there, they pop up on eBay every now and then.

Re: My 1:25 project
That is a reissue of the old MPC Fall Guy kit. Nice mold. My favorite kit of this body style.
Here is what I did with one of my reissued AMT Fall Guy kits.

Re: My 1:25 project
Boy Jeff (bigblock73), I remember so many of those models from my younger days, I know I built at least four of them. (I guess I am showing my age now)
