Here is a picture of my Wife's car. She kept forgetting where she parked it at the mall. She doesn't have that problem anymore. She just looks for the large crowd of men.

Man, those kits were the shizzit bak in the mid-late eighties. That's either an old pic or a rare finished kit kept in good condition.

I have to admit that I didn't like that kit, but I was eyeing the 3" wider 'Mulholland' fenders for my 66 bug back in the day.

 
^The Fiero based kits were pretty popular back then too. I always got a kick out of the idea of something that looked like a Testarossa with a Pontiac 4-popper in it. The kit I always wanted to do was the Corvette based Daytona Spyder.

only because you thought Crockett was the cat's pajamas.

I couldn't understand why would anyone wreck a corvette by making it look like a Ferarri?

For VW kits I always liked the Bradley GT

remember the "Rolls" treatment for the bugs?

 
^ The only Corvette I would have sacrificed like that would be a '73-'81. Those 5mph bumpers sucked out loud.

I had a friend with a Bradley kit. That thing was a blast. There was also a bug in the neighborhood with the Rolls front end and a fake Continental kit.

 
I with Flyer on this one, MA. Anyone who takes a 74-75 roadster and converts it to a Daytona knock-off deserves and Obama-esque stimulus. Those 74-81 Vette's sucked the big one. nasty, nasty cars. My uncle had a 79, and it was horrid to drive.

There was a McBurney Coachcraft with the interior conversion and four speed on ebay a couple of days ago.

 
I think you guys are too harsh on the mid to late 70's/early 80's cars. Personally I like the '80-'81 nose.

IMHO The sylists did a pretty good job with the constrints they had to work with. You need to remember that those were the smog/gas crunch years and factory "performance" was not politically correct.
