Wanted 1976 MPC Pontiac Ventura - Joy Fair Replica

I know this is a stretch as it's rare. Would love to buy it to complete another Joy Fair replica.

  Southern Motorsport Hobbies has what your looking for as far as the body goes.

  As far as the rest of the kit goes, try and find a 70's era Camaro or Trans Am if you wanting to go that route.....only difference is that the Venture wheelbase is slightly longer by aprox. 3 mm. in stock form.....no idea what the Busch series car body wheelbase would be...I'm guessing around 110"

The '76 Pontiac Venura had a nose that was unique to that specific model year.

  Yea, I seen that...I was thinking maybe he could rework that center section of the grill to match the '76 of Joy Fair with a little plastic and putty or Bondo.

Thanks for the feedback. I have thought of modifying the resin ventura but had hoped to just get the kit and only to my modfications to the wheel flares. Maybe one day I will locate one that isnt 200 bucks on Ebay!!
