TJ... you need to get that Pacer kit built! That was one kit I never gotten nor seen built up. Oh man, how ugly the Pacer was yet somewhat popular at the time too.

That was the first model I ever built. Dad helped, no paint, I think I was 7. Traded with Lee to get it again. I'll do it proud this time

Lyle if you ever find that Gremlin and decide not to build it let me know. It'll go right next to the Pacer :tease:

Now you’re talking...
If I only had a Pinto or Vega kit, we’d be all set. :giggles:

It is a mess of a kit...

I could swear that Round 2 AMT is doing a Pinto kit... :headslap:

Pinto/Vega/Gremlin/Pacer... the worst of 70s automotive designs... :poo:

I had a 74 Pinto and the future wife had the hatchback version. Built models of both and even painted them the same colors.
