1977 Pacer Wagon

[TJ]

This kit was my first model way back in 1977. I picked up another to see what I could do with it. Its not a masterpiece but I'm good with it

You may not think it's a masterpiece but it certainly looks good from where I'm sitting. You got any more shots of that??

Just a closer view of the engine

Love your Pacer. You did a really fine job on it TJ. What fun.

Looks like you picked the details out very nicely on this one Johnny. What kit is this one?

That must have been fun. I like the wheels - Pacers were kinda crazy looking but that year isn't bad.

I think its still pretty sweet!, I think its cool when people are able to keep their older builds. I dont know why, but for some reason i get rid of mine that arent up to my current standards...i'm trying to keep them now. I've been building since 1977/78, but only have 17 builds that have passed for acceptable to me...it bums me out these days.

Those are three words I thought I'd never hear said together.

Nope that's the only one. The only other kit I have is a Gremlin with a V8

I look at old pictures from when I was young and building one to three models a week and reminisce about how it was with no care about if it was just right or not.

When I originally built this kit in 1977. It was with Dads help. No paint just glued together. Later on I brushed painted it silver. It feels good now to build another just right

Coincidently the Pacer (not the wagon) and Gremlin are two of the kits I am trying to find (for a reasonable price) for my Cars I Used To Own collection. 
My wife's Pacer was exactly the same colour you painted this one.

Joe it's the reissue AMT kit

I went with the white lettering so this was the cool Mom driving the kids to school
