American Graffiti

There was someone that posted earlier saying they wanted to find some DIY Diecast kits. Well, this may not be much, but Motor Max's line, American Graffiti, has some available. This particular one I picked up is a 1955 Chevy Stepside. The body is already primed and ready to paint and has enough parts to resemble plastic kits a bit. The bed of the truck is plastic and molded in a creme color along with the seats and dash. It also includes 2 sets of custom flame decals.

cool...

how much did it cost you?

Grabbed this at Wal Mart for $5. I have no plans on doing this just yet. They also had a '57 Chevy.

1/24? was it meant to have the final paint job to be primer? bcz i've never heard of a metal kit that was made to have someone else paint it. (although i wish they did.)

That's the point of this model. It is primered so that the consumer can paint it as they want. Were you really reading my post?

5$???

when it arrives here in ASIA.. its going to be 10$ or maybe 15$..

That would make a KILLER drag truck.
I think we should have a Dragster Motm sometime!

yeah thats well cool where you get it from ? can you get 1:18 diecast kits ?

Forgot you were in England. Do they have a Wal Mart there?
I have not seen these in 1:18...

1:24 ...shame...but it looks cool!

Hobbes, i dont think they have Wal-mart in England LOL

what he said ... killer drag truck ... you can go wild on this one if you wanted to ... i really got to head out to the store to see if they got one of these!!

I'v never seen these before

The American Graffiti series has been out for a while, I just didn't pay any mind to them thinking they were movie cars. (until I saw the 300C). They have plenty of classic cars available (in 1:18).

You will most likely find these kits where they keep the plastic models...

@hobbes i read your post but since you are in a modfiying forum i thought you meant like yeah this car is all ready for paint because we (mostly) all mod here. never heard of a metal kit where it actully lets you paint it. i wish maisto's kits where like that.

What movier is the 300C from?

it's not from a movie. just never mind that.

oh, is it on any websites? I want to see how much they cost.

prob around 20. go to diecastmuscle or ebay.
