Pro Maxx

Oh man - one of my Holy Grail kits!!!
You have some serious golden nuggets bud!!
This kit is worth a couple hundred bucks!!

I want to build one so bad, but just cannot bring myself to paying that much.
I am REALLY looking forward to how yours comes out and what you think of it.

Coyotecrunch and DaveM , Thanks for your comments.

I too have been wanting to build this kit for a long time. I am a pretty big collector with about 500 kits and 200 parts kits but I don't do it to make money. Every kit I have I wish / plan to build someday ( retirement ? )

When I started my search for this kit I really wanted the car from the Original movie Mad Max ( this car is from the second movie Road Warrior ), I think one of the model companies needs to build this 1973 Ford Falcon in a stock / street version. With the cost of this kit, yes they would make a lot of money. I am actually disappointed in the kit. It has very little detail. It is curbside ( hood doesn't open, no motor and blower is just stuck threw a hole in the hood. Funny, that is the case with the real car also, the blower was not real ( functional ). For the Road Warrior movie they removed the trunk lid and part of the rear window frame so they could put two 55 gal drums in as fuel tanks. They also removed a lot of the interior detail. Again a company wouldnt have to build the movie car just give us a 2 in 1 Stock and Street version of the car!! Well honestly their are a few Aussie cars that I wish we could get.
My plan for building this really hasnt changed from day one, except now I am pro streeting it. I plan to fix the rear window frame and replace the trunk lid an rear spoiler. I will be opening the hood and installing firewall,fender wells, shock towers and radiator support from a 1970 Ford Torino . Front half of the frame will be Torino while the back half will be one of the pro street kits. My motor will be the SOHC 427 with blower out of the 33 Willys kit and then I will try to detail the interior best I can in a more street fashion. Should be quite a build ! Keep watching and wish me luck !!

ok got a little started. Should get more next weekend.

Ok gang, Ive been doing some cutting on my donor Ford Torino and its really shaping up well. I also have my frame about 80% done and I have test fitted the monster motor. Have a look and feel free to suggest !!!

Very cool kit and very cool ideas in motion here!

Thanks poet and mustang .

I'll be soon !

OK gang , here are some update pics !!! Got my wheelie bars done. The kit is the Road Warrior Kit ( Movie 2 ) so the interior is very apocalyptic. I wanted as much of a stock interior as I could. So I had to cut down the Torino bucket and add the side panels, dash and of course that great shifter. Another thing that popped up was that the the rear set up needed some really wide tires. Using a tip from Scale Auto I took four rear tires and cut them to make two tires that are 1 and 3/4 tires wide, some real steam rollers ! Did some mock ups and started working on squeezing that big motor in there !!

WOW!!! That is a serious set of tires you got there bud!!! smileyCAELY0UD_zps3cc8a166

Looking forward to it gpb! BTW what's your idea for joining the tire halves up? Just curious.

That's a neat idea. Will the seam be pretty much gone with that technique? May have to use that one myself.

back to the max huh beast nice work as alway's that falcon should be a monster for sure

Ok new updates !! Got the rolling frame done, interior is done and motor is about 75%. Being this kit is of movie 2, they wanted the car to look more ragged. Along with dropping two 55 gal drums in the back window they removed the front airdamn to make it look more rugged. I wasnt a fan of the airdamn, especially on a pro street car so I made my own rolled front pan. Its not done yet but I think you get the point. It is the front pan from the Deora kit , modified of course.

Awesome!!!
