Love the Chevy II wagon. I remember an article in CarCraft in the 70s about a guy who raced that model wagon in the NHRA (Super stock class I think) because of how well it fit the weight break of lbs. per cubic inch. It seems like he was killing the competition in his class. I know you will do it proud. Really like looking at everyone's work.

Nova is a very easy curbside model . Very few parts. Since it is a curbside kit it comes with the plate to glue an to resemble an engine. From the bottom. Although this kid does not come with an engine or transmission, the bay is open up so someone could do so if desired. Me: built with just the parts that came with it. And glued the hood on. It's in the twenties out and sunny so I ran out and did some spray painting. Here is a sneak peek.;

Will put away for paint to cure.

I like that Nova kit. Sometimes an easy kit is nice. I might look for that one.

I’m not above buying Snap-Tite kits. This Mustang is nice quality. I dressed it up with aftermarket wheels.

It’s crazy isn’t it. I picked up a few that shot up triple of what I paid. One shop told me it’s because production has slowed this year, plus some companies lost licenses or didn’t renew

I just found two vintage Heller kits (1:43) for $8 each. It’s all I can afford. Good thing I like the little kits.

Take the Chevy away from Isuzu Chevy and you get a range of boring reliable commercial diesel motors.

Take the Isuzu away from Isuzu Chevy and you get... ahhh.. a classic American brand with a rich history, and a barrel of positive sentiment override.

I like thay the minifig fits in the car. Alot of the "model" type lego kits are just an empty seat.

The Audi rally car has space for a codriver as well. It is a little larger scale because of it

Uh-oh

Here's a kit I found. Seems to be bigger than the normal 1/24 scale though.
