With the possibility of a Salvinos kit I may be barking up the wrong tree. I wonder how many have considered using a Monogram/Revell GTX or Roadrunner for a NASCAR build? IF so, how many of you have wished they'd gotten around to making a '72?
I'm wondering because I'm making a '72 street bumper for that kit and would consider NASCAR style if there's any interest?

Bill Coulter's book: Building and Detailing Scale Model Stock Cars has a how to on doing this conversion starting on page 68. It doesn't describe the bumper mods so would be a good choice to cast one IMHO.

I'm interested. I've never taken the time to compare, so how much difference is there between 71 & 72? ..popcorn ..popcorn ..popcorn

I'll take five, with no disrespect to the great Dave Brubeck. Still awaiting the 66-7 Plymouth stuff.

Night and day... literally. Where the '72 sticks out, the '71 tucks in. In this photo the '72 unit is the one on the left.

Me too. Unfortunately the tail end piece for the '66 '67 Plymouth has been delayed. I will have it done before summer though.

Honestly, I'd rather have a good resin copy of the MPC with '71 or '72 rear bumpers. I don't like mixing scales, I like my '80 and earlier kits to be 1/25. Plus, I have several of the Missing Link resin Satellite hoods to fit the MPC body.

Quite possibly the most cultured quote ever on this forum.
