Won this off of Ebay recently. This was the same kit I recieved as a memeber of the Builders Club back in 1972. It was one of my favorite kits, but it must have been thrown out by my dad years ago . I had forgotten the name of the kit and at one point was wondering if I just dreamt the whole thing up when this one popped up on Ebay. I got a real good deal on it ; complete and unbuilt ,$33.00 plus shipping .  |

WoW!! I had one of those! I always thought it was one of the best renditions of a early 70's chop. COOL!!! Paul

Geez, it usually takes me a month just to get around to opening the box ! LOL All I can say at this point is I will try. I still have three kits under construction on my bench now, and two HO scale houses for my sons train set. I'll dig it out tonight

Nothing says the '70s like rigid front and rear ends! Nice score.

you lucky devil that's real bargin hope to see it built I really was suprised that I won it ; you used to get some good deals on Ebay, but it seems everyones on it now so getting a good deal is pretty rare (at least in my case) I'm wondering how I should paint it- The one built as a kid was painted to match the box art ,maybe paint it the sam as a tribute to the original ? |

You can never go wrong with the classic yellow & Orange combo, you could kick it up a notch & paint it HOK Kandy Pagan Gold & do the fade with Kandy Tangerine, ( Something like the Dodge Revellion Paint Scheme )  |
