HEY,
Man i wish they even had model shows around here, but of course not. They dont have any hobby shops that sell models either, so i just have to wait on the new kits to come to wal-mart.lol

check out the group builds forum, there is a budget group build - you would be nicely placed for that group with $5 kits

i have the Datsun 510. for what its worth, its a good kit. its a little more detailed than Revell's kits usually are (ie: it has a seperate gas tank) and its not that hard to fit a small-block Chevy in it .Big Smile [:D] i havent built it yet, and ive never gotten the Monte. i would also recommend the '78 Trans Am 3 'n 1. taht was my first kit and ive developed a bond with it. well, gotta go. later.

As far as the datsun 510 kit, I know of people place the 350 into them...I was wondering if there is anywhere i could purchase a blown 350. I would like to build this kit but i am big on modifications. This would add a cool aspect to an okay kit. Thanks to all that can help.
