• Did I see things right on the Model Car Magazine post? AMT is releasing a 64 Oldsmobile Hardtop just as like the convertible? Seemed like they would want to see sales of the convertible first...Would be a nice addition..Hope is true.. *NM*
• Replacement rear bumper.
• PROGRESS ON 63 NOVA STAWAG... I shaved all the trim and emblems for a smooth line, able to prime it today and bring it into the downstairs bath and turn the fan on for about an hour. Smell wasn't bad for one car. Finished up the LS. PICS and thanks for looking
  • What engine is that? *NM*
    • Rich that is the LS motor out of the Revell SSR Sport Truck. I tried one from the Revell 92 Camaro and that fits very nice and not as tall. *NM*
      • With the Camaro LS you can use the flat hood from the kit... The SSR you will have to do what I did and cut a cowl hood into the stock hood or something else to clear the tallness of it. *NM*
• Attn: Craig Turner.... Been trying to send you an e-mail, keeps bouncing back....
  • yeah...there is an issue I need to take care of...got the package and sent one out Saturday... *NM*
    • I bet if you work on a certain '57 Ford your e-mail will work. *NM*
• Say that, oh, someone lost their mind and wanted to replicate the Revell Fiat/Thunder Charger kit
  • I'd wait, as the Mooneyes single kit is said to include the Chrysler engine as an option. It will also have the chassis equipment pack, which is a bigger part of the search than you might think *NM*
  • You also need....
    • Re: AND also need.... *PIC*
      • The headers on the Chrysler engine are from the Buick engine parts pack tree. The double kits all used the roadster chassis equipment pack, not the dragster one. Check the instruction sheet on the Drastic Plastics site *NM*
        • You are correct! I use the dragster pack, those Buick headers are way too skinny for a Chrysler! *PIC*
  • I can see I should be selling my parts packs! *NM*
• Just seen where Mr Norm passed. Got to meet him at MCACN, Great guy. Bummer!!!!! *NM*
  • Re: I've seen Mr. Norm a few times at several of the MCACN shows and also bought my '69 Bee from his dealership back-in-the-day. *NM*
• Blind sided by this AMT release: Blue car on box #638, '57 Bel-Air..........
  • That one was part of a Round 2 "value line" that had all the extras deleted. The Pepper Shaker reissue has the drag and mild custom parts restored *NM*
    • Thanks. I see it now. This is the same business model the Big Three had in 60's & '70s. This hobby is so real. *NM*
  • Betting they did this to get into discount/chain stores and hit a price point *NM*
    • I haven't seen a model car kit in a chain store for years around here. *NM*
      • There are two craft chain stores down here...I have seen those value line kits at both of them at different times *NM*
• Something different for a change
  • Any connection (or inspiration) with the Tremont & Gulf RR in Louisiana? Just wondering. *NM*
    • No. Our little section of town was called Tremont years ago and I'm in the northeast US ergo the name. *NM*
  • Nice layout *NM*
• Sad news from Dallas' hobby history: the son of the founder of MAL Hobbies in IRving, Ed Seay Jr, has died . He was 79.
  • Just read his obituary. Quite a legacy. Thanks for posting. *NM*
  • Another nice guy passing. Bought many books from him at train shows. *NM*
  • Thanks Jason. I remember spending many Saturdays at MAL in the 60's. I built and flew some of their gas airplanes and set the track record on their slot car track. Beautiful Eulogy. *NM*
• Break From Monotony *PICS*
  • Those were great, Terry! First model I ever built was....
  • Terry, I don't have any survivors that are still intact... They're all in parts boxes now BUT I do have this picture of a car show display where 90% of the models on the table are mine... This is also the car show where I met my friends Larry and Cliff Read, circa 1963!!! *NM* *PIC*
    • Terry, thanks for posting. Ray '63 brings back lots of memories. Some good, some not so good. *NM*
    • WOW! How cool is that pic! I remember those pics on the table, and see a lot of cars I recall as well!!!!!!! *NM*
  • I like the scale mask wearing "Bernie Sanders" figure in the old drag cars pic. LoL! *NM*
  • Cool stuff Terry and Raymond, I really like the drag cars, I'm working on a replica of the Plum Crazy Challenger using the newer AMT kit and planning to do the Cuda with the new Revell kit Thanks *NM*
  • I love the restored drag cars. I have been doing something similar. Take a model I built years ago and then build a new one and display them together. Shows how my skills have improved. *NM*
• I forgot to post a pic of the chassis for the post below PIC
  • Looking good!
    • Thank you! *NM*
• Another one finished PICs I struggled a lot with the weathering on this one. I don't think I went to far with the dirt and grim but you will be the judge.
  • Fantastic! *NM*
    • Thanks, much! *NM*
  • Awesome! Somebody had fun offroad! *NM*
    • Thanks *NM*
  • Awesome weathering job! *NM*
    • Thank you. That makes me feel like l accomplished what l set out to do. *NM*
  • Terry, I don't think you went overboard either. Sure looks realistic to me. *NM*
    • Thanks, it's good to get feedback like that. I second guess myself too much. *NM*
  • Nice Build Terry! Like the Mud Look Good! *NM*
    • Thank you! *NM*
• Finished PICs Fun, fast, easy build. I like to use decals that I have had setting around and never expected to find a place for them. I think they work fine on this one.
  • Neat! *NM*
    • Thank you *NM*
  • Racy! *NM*
    • Thanks *NM*
  • Whos Body is this I really like how you did it... *NM*
    • That a Jimmy Flintstone body but don't go to his website. I went looking for one body and ended up buying 4. He has some great stuff. *NM*
• Hhhmmmm .......... I found a source that makes 1976 to 1980 Dodge Aspen R/T decals. AFAIK, there was never an Aspen model kit in 1/25 scale. The decal sheet includes taillights and reverse lights. I assume to use those on a Volare' kit. Is it possible to ................
  • Unlesd someone is doing 3D printed parts, I've never heard of an Aspen conversion. The '80 would probably be the "easiest" to do, it's not likely anyone would do a conversion for earlier/hard to find kits now *NM*
  • There have never been any conversion parts available to make a Volare into an Aspen. As Mark said, there aren't too many of these kits around to justify it (and there never really were)...
• I use fishing lead in the nose. Can be cut and squeezed to fit. *NM*
  • Don't know about fishing lead, BUT, I do have lead that I can cut with scissors, and being thin, you need a lot, whereas I press a bunch of BB's into the modeling clay. Found out over the years, works for me. A P38 is the hardest to get the nose down, I found out. *NM*
• Davethewalker, I sent you an email. *NM*
• No love below for Packard, one of the GREAT AMERICAN MAKES! Packard dragster, big v-8 ! *NM* *PIC*
• OK, for 3,0 here are my three model As (PICS)
  • They all look great. Awesome paint on all of them. *NM*
    • Re: Ditto! *NM*
  • Really really nice work! *NM*
  • Those are BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
  • Those are all real nice but I loooooove the 1st one. *NM*
  • Those are gorgeous! *NM*
  • Crisp builds with opened features and great paint. Nice! *NM*
  • All three of those are gorgeous! *NM*
  • Your paint finish is awesome! *NM*
  • Wow what they all said for sure! *NM*
• Didn't someone build the Moebius 300b as a hot rod? Anyone have pics? *NM*
  • I think there have been a few... would be a cool project for sure *NM*
• since there is no 3/0 on the calendar, how about we post our 1930 builds today. I'll start.....pics.....
  • Really interesting builds. Which kit is the yellow one? *NM*
    • It's from this kit. Also released as a single build called the 'Yellow Jacket'. *NM* *PIC*
      • That Monogram 6 in 1 kit is one of the coolest of the era..... *PIC*
        • Would this be in the tooling that Atlantis bought? *NM*
          • Pete has nnot said if he has this tool or not. Last time it was run it was made in the US....so maybe!! *NM*
            • Would be so cool to see that original kit re-issued!! *NM*
              • I have collected enough kits and parts to build about 5 of the 6 versions...... *NM*
  • They look great!!! *NM*
  • Re: Lookin' good. *NM*
  • Lil Tub is cool!!! Mine.....
  • New New Speedway Boogie *NM* *PIC*
  • The Mystery Trend *NM* *PIC*
  • test shot *NM* *PIC*
  • restored glue bomb *NM* *PIC*
  • yellow jacket on hobby shop display stand *NM* *PIC*
    • note misspelled "interior" on stand. Didn't happen much back in those days when people read what was in front of them. *NM*
      • That display looks like a copy (possibly never existed back then). I've got a Predicta display copy, for some dumb reason the maker scrambled a word or two to misspell it on purpose, who knows why *NM*
        • Its a copy of an original display, and the misspelling was on the original. These days, people don't know how to spell and let a spell checker be their saviour.
• I got my Silver 62 Bonneville convertible yesterday! (PICS)
  • If you're going to repaint it, I'd remove the second skirt. *NM*
    • I'll see if it falls off easy, if not I'll put the other skirt back on before I repaint. *NM*
  • Cool! *NM*
• Name 3 1930s cars you'd like to see kitted. Preferably never kitted before. Pics would be great. *NM*
  • 32-35 Dodge truck (basically all the same), 34-36 DeSoto Airflow, 1928 Plymouth (first one) *NM*
    • I'm with ya on the Dodge trucks. One of my favorite designs...PICS
      • A local fellow had one of those when I was a kid, I fell in love with it! *NM*
        • I've seen a few here over the years at the Viva Las Vegas Car Show. More than once I've pondered which parts I could start with to do my rendition in scale. Just one of a zillion ideas passing through the gray matter.😎 *NM*
  • Ditto on the Airflow. Then a '35 and a '38 Ford. *NM*
    • Airflow, 38 Ford would be OK, rather see a 39 Chevy sedan, 37 Buick, Olds or Pontiac. #4 Chevy. 32 Plymouth. *NM*
      • I wonder if a 39 Chevy sedan body could be added to the Monogram coupe/panel kit. *NM*
    • Airflow, 38 Ford would be OK, rather see a 39 Chevy sedan, 37 Buick, Olds or Pontiac. #4 Chevy. 32 Plymouth. *PIC*
      • 36 Plymouth *NM* *PIC*
        • Re: 36 Plymouth: That's gorgeous! *NM*
          • 34 Plymouth Sedan *NM* *PIC*
            • 32 DeSoto Coupe *NM* *PIC*
        • A young man one year behind me in high school had a cool '36 Plymouth Coupe. Ron died in a tank in Viet Nam (RIP). *NM*
      • That 35 Pontiac is very similar to my 36. Biggest difference is the suicide doors on the 35. *NM*
      • How about a 39 Studebaker Champion? *NM* *PIC*
        • I could go for one of those....... *PIC*
  • Alfa 6C 2500 Coupe, 35 Ford and 37 Lincoln Model K Coupe. *NM*
  • Hard to limit it to just 3. My first choice, and the one that probably has the best chance of happening, would be a 33 or 34 Ford 3W coupe done in the same fashion as the Revell Deuces. Second choice would be
    • I would definitely add the '33-'34 Ford Tudor... They make great street rods... Here's an example Cliff Read built (from a diecast)... *PIC*
      • Wonder if AMT could tool up another body to fit with their for their '34 coupe?
        • That Tudor looked more like a British version than the nicely proportioned US one. AMT hasn't had much luck doing '34 Fords... The first coupe was awful. *NM*
          • They did the only 1/25 '33 Tudor kit to my knowledge. Too bad it was so poorly proportioned. *NM*
      • '34 Ford sedan, Bonnie and Clyde's "Death Car". Clyde loved the '34 Ford, because he could "out run" anybody. *NM*
        • Isn't Clyde Barrow the one who wrote Henry Ford to tell him just that? *NM*
          • There is supposedly such a letter, but a number of people claimed that Barrow was illiterate which would make the letter a fake *NM*
            • And there is a similar legend about John Dillinger and the Hudson Terraplane. *NM*
          • Yup! *NM*
  • '33 Plymouth coupe.... '35 Ford 3-window coupe... '37 Lincoln Zephyr coupe. *NM*
    • Good choices , the 39 Zephyr is my favorite, a true Hot Rod / Custom classic! *NM* *PIC*
      • Re: And another Zephyr....................................................................PIC
  • 1936 Auburn Speedster
    • At least there was a place to start with the '35 kit such as it is.
  • 1929 Cord L-29, 1930 Studebaker President, 1936 Lincoln Zephyr. *NM*
• I thought I would check in everything is good for me
  • Glad to hear you're doing well. Praying for your wife. *NM*
  • Re: Glad to hear you're doing okay and sorry to hear 'bout your wife's shingles. Prayers for both of you. *NM*
  • Stay strong, God be with you all! *NM*
  • Glad you are doing okay but sorry she is not. Folks, please get your shingles immunization shots (there are two some time apart). I took one before the covid thing started and will take the second a while after the two covid shots - my first covid is Tuesday. *NM*
  • Having shingles sucks! I still have to get my second shot, and hopefully my surgery didn't stir things up enough to cause an outbreak! Hope she comes out ok! *NM*
• My version of the Futura *LINK*
  • Sorry I could not recall who!!!! *NM*
  • Re: That is beautiful, great job! *NM*
  • Looks like 1/24th vs 1/25th. Your Futura conversion is gorgeous! *NM*
    • Agreed but the Batmobile is supposedly 1/25. *NM*
  • Looks great! I don't remember any hassles building the Futura kit. I built many 1/72 scale A/C. It was much like building an F-14 *NM* *PIC*
    • If you're used to building planes, I guess it might not be a problem. *PIC*
      • Nice one! The passenger looks as bored as Doris in the movie screen shot! *NM*
  • Turning the Batmobile back into the Futura, George Barris must be turning in his grave. *NM*
• Bus fans, dig this!!!
  • As a scale snob I'd pass if it were not a Bus......think I need it! *NM*
    • Me, too. *NM*
  • They're starting to take 1/72 airliners seriously...has the time come for the 1/25 GMC Fishbowl and Scenicruiser? *NM*
    • Even a MC-8. Tomica did a pretty nice small scale die cast.....want a 1/25! *NM*
    • As a North American Bus Nut, I would love to see these in 1/25 scale also. *NM*
  • Imagine if that was 1/25th scale. Take my money please! *NM*
  • Cool! Quite the modern subject for them! I like the idea of it, but this one’s not really familiar to me, there more popular versions. Kinda like the Japanese ones in 1/32 scale, pricey but not really popular models here. Now THIS one I could really go for... *PIC*
• Finished this Lincoln Futura a long time ago, finally got pictures of it. *PIC*
  • Real clean build, Tracy. Superb foiling... *NM*
  • Way better than the Batmobile! *NM*
  • NOT an easy build.....
    • Dave see my post above. I did the back dating. *NM*
    • Very nice build. *NM*
  • You’ve done a excellent job building a less than stellar kit *NM*
  • Re: Lookin' good. *NM*
  • The color really suits it. *NM*
• Sunday photos.................................................................................................PICS
  • That Charger III kit is a must have for me. That blown Nash is based somewhere here in So. Cal. *NM*
  • I did not know the ELECTROLINER could run on EL trackage......cool PIC THX *NM*
  • That "Little Tub" must be a phantom kit... I've never seen it... Very well done w/box art too. *PIC*
    • Created by a guy in Citrus Park, Florida. He scaled down a couple other 1/8 Monogram kits. *NM*
  • Nice wagons! *NM*
• I see a few model car projects! Thanks for the PICS! *NM*
• NICE *PICS* Bill!! *NM*
• O/T... Not only in Britain my friend...
  • Agreed..... *NM*
  • No one is willing to pay to even maintain roads here *NM*
    • It's a totally different system over there... Can't compare really... *NM*
      • And give them 20 or 30 years when their road system is as old as ours is right now. Let's see if they take better care of it. *NM*
        • Paying higher taxes to maintain our roads here? Heck no! I need that money to buy more models. *NM*
          • They already get plenty (look into how much you pay on each gallon of gas) but it gets hijacked to other things *NM*
            • This is true! *NM*
            • same here *NM*
• Are the custom hubcaps in the retro 53 Ford kit indentical as in the original first issue. *NM*
  • Just my 2¢ they're VERY CLOSE but not exactly IDENTICAL. Right now I can't locate mine from the new issue for a photo comparison. *NM*
    • Thanks Rich, If you find your kits to do a comparison,I would like to build a ol skool version like the original issue, are all the other parts the same.TIA *NM*
      • Terry, tha AMT '53s have had basically the same parts since the very 1st. Minor changes such as custom wheel covers but can't think of much. I've had many different issues. Pretty much all the same except styrene color. *NM*
        • Thanks, I thought maybe wheel backs and engines may have changed over the years. Im guessing all the custom grilles and chevy rear fenders with the bullet taillights are all still there. *NM*
          • Terry, AMT-PP021/24 Custom Caps 'N Wheels parts pack has the same custom covers. Compared to originals they just seem to have a litle heavier chrome which causes the originals to just appear sharper. Unless old and new compared no one will be aware. *NM*
            • Thank you again Rich, that is great to know. On another subject, would you know if there might be a Viva Las Vegas or Rat City Rukkas of any kind this year even during this pandemic. *NM*
              • As far as I know right now neither show will happen this year. They're usually held on Easter weekend. If you search for either on the internet I'm sure there's info. I haven't looked lately. *NM*
• Looks like it's there in that photo, though -- it's what the gas tank is sitting on! *NM*
  • That's true! It is a complete kit, and that part was there all along.
• Fresh car show photos.... Today I took a long leisurely drive out to Monticello, Iowa (Seriously, there is NO direct way to get there from here) and checked out the cool rides at the 52nd Annual Monticello Rod & Custom Car Show.... *PICS* *LINK*
  • Re: Great pics Marty and some really some great rides as well. Thanks! *NM*
  • Thanks again Marty! *NM*
  • Thanks Marty!! *NM*
  • That is one of the best GP 2+2 I've seen.... *NM*
• A question on why the same old tires.....
  • Yes, we do. We're just not, in general. likely to spend the kind of money on detail parts like the armor and aircraft guys, and not in sufficient numbers.
    • Is it a chicken or the egg thing> OTHER than here I see people shelling out 40-200 bucks for resin products. MCW paint is 18 a can, look at the price of old kits.
      • The point IS volume though. Collector prices have very little to do with builders, really. And on, and on. I don't want to sound like a naysayer, just noting the trends I've seen over the past 18 years or so. *NM*
        • Resin ain't collected, it's built. So who "collects: resin bodies etc. Bad analogy. I think the replies here answer my question, it's because car modelers don't care. *NM*
          • Resin is unintentionally collected...there's a lot of older stuff out there that was bought but never assembled *NM*
            • IIRC, 80% of resin car kits never get built ,, I read that years ago in one of the magazines. Any idea who said that Mark? I really can't remember who wrote that. *NM*
          • They do. People who buy Modelhaus kits. Are you actually going to build a $1000K+ '70 Charger RT resin kit? *NM*
            • You don't know that they don't build them! If you can afford to buy it, why not? I see big money kits built on FB groups all the time. *NM*
              • Well, if you're part of the millionaire modeling crowd on FB, that's one thing. However, the average modeler is not going to build a $500-$1k resin or even plastic kit. It's worth more unbuilt. *NM*
                • Millionaire modeling crowd on FB? HUH? LOL it can cost 100 bucks easy to build a modern kit. Please. *NM*
                  • Unless you go hog wild with super detail, it's not $100 on average for a 1/25 kit. Anyway, that would be the total cost not $100, $200, $500+ for just the kit. If you got to impress your FB buddies building a $500+ kit, knock yourself out....I guess. *NM*
  • It's all about context, Dragger; you can't just throw out those old product names on a bet;
    • Guys you aren't getting it at all simples as.........
      • Dragger.......your replicar/toy arguement maybe closer than you realise....we not only built replicars but also have the artistic licence to modify,create & build to suit ourselves, whereas armour & aircraft guys don't have the ability nor licence to dream....lol. *NM*
        • Re: aircraft guys don't have the ability nor licence to dream. I build aircraft and dream, like the F-4 Phantom I painted lemon-lime metal flake with a civil registration number. *NM*
    • I could see a 3-D brand eventually solving for these challenges, but....
      • I made tire decals for white lettering for years. Sold 100s on eBay. Nobody ever tried to collect a fee from me. I don't see them going after the really little guys. I think we are under the radar. *NM*
  • Re:old tires.....What kits if any had U.S. Royal Master tires or is there a source for copies. *NM*
    • Are you referring to the tires that were in early issues of some Revell kits and Revell Parts Pak? *NM*
      • The tire parts packs are all over Ebay, not too expensive, but the only fit Revell 16 inch(sic) wheels. *NM*
  • Everything comes at a cost,
  • I think I may be the type of builder that you are talking about. First off, I consider myself slightly above average in building skills. Now I am comparing myself to the people that attend contests and post on model forums. As far as knowledge of cars I would say I am.....
  • I'm with Old Dragger on tires. He has a solid point. I'm just finishing up a (resin) '61 Falcon Panel Delivery. The record groove Firestone's are too big....
  • Did you guys know Modelhaus still makes wheels and tires? There might be some good ones there. Also 3D printing might be an option. There are some tires on Shapeways. But good luck searching that site! *NM*
    • Modelhaus & RMCoM make great tires, also Scenes Unlimited for truck stuff. All excellent with which to do business. *NM*
  • I've been disappointed in the selection of vintage road tires. Some seem lightly undersized, and often with 15" wheels instead of 14". :-) *NM*
• A 55 Ford would be nice too! *PIC*
  • That IS available in resin...I have 3 of them...need to build one! *NM*
    • I know, I mean a plastic kit. Jeeeesh guys. *NM*
      • sorrieeeee.....silly me *NM*
• Did Firebird Designs go out of business? *NM*
  • Sure seems that way. This was brought up a week or so ago and at that time his web site was gone. *NM*
  • I had asked him myself about his decals a couple months back. He said to email him your order directly. As of now he's let the website go and had quit selling on Ebay. *NM*
    • Mike, how do I go about getting hold of him? Interested in some decals. *NM*
• Anyone else like to see some 30's Buicks, Olds, Pontiacs, CHEVY'S and MoPars? *PIC*
  • Interesting idea. Be a chance to build something other than Fords from that era. I do not know if the four door sedans like in your pic would be the ones to start with, though. *NM*
  • There's variety in 1:32 scale Pyro/LifeLike etc. kits. *NM*
  • I agree completely and even the 1/32nd scale Pyros are getting rare. We need these in 1/24th-1/25th. *NM*
• "FROM BEHIND THE SPOTLIGHT" We just got both of Tim Boyd's great model collecting books as well as books on Prudhomme, Beswick, Platt, Nicholson & American Speed Shops. Don't forget, we are adding new items as well as old kits all the time, so be sure to check it out! *PICS
  • Both of Tim's books are HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!! *NM*
    • Thx Dave! TIM *NM*
  • Thanks for offering the additional items *NM*
  • Matt and Dawn...so glad this worked out. Everyone...if you are thinking of buying one or both of my books, please consider doing so from our hosts here at the Spotlight Hobbies Board! Thanks for your consideration....TIM ng mmyin *NM*
• Or this on 1950's Packards *PIC*
  • Thanks for the pic, and the memories! My parents had a pair, '55 & '56, red & white, turquoise & white. Sure loved those cars. *NM*
• How about this one someday? Moebius? Revell? *PIC*
  • Re: Yes. *NM*
  • I'm wondering if Round 2 could take their '58 Edsel and use that as a base for a '58 Ford.....
    • Or Revell with the '57 Ford. *NM*
• Just got my second body from Ed in the mail today! Great castings! BTW, I still have 3 Revell coupes from the original release. I'm building one right now with flathead power from the '32 sedan, should be finished by Christmas at my build rate. ;) *NM*
  • Re: I also have two Revell Moel A Coupes and maybe a chopped coupe resin body somewher also, however I've been in a "building slump" for almost two years now. Sighhhhhhh. *NM*
• Police car question. Does anyone know the proper locations and numbers and etc for 1 ADAM 12? *NM*
  • Did a google image search and it turned up 1:1 and scale model and model decals. See the *LINK*
    • Careful, John. There are a lot of un-authentic and phoney clones pictured in a generic google image search. Like the Falcon station wagon, etc. *NM*
      • Thanks Danny and that’s why I’m asking. I’m kind of surprised that no decals exist specifically to do Adam 12. *NM*
        • Well, actually, check evilbay for seller "mesatraffic" and you're likely to find what you're looking for. ;^) *NM*
          • Thanks Danno and now he has one less. Pardon the typo from last night but it was too late at night for me to catch the autocorrect. *NM*
        • John, if you click the link in my post above you will see over a dozen pics of Adam 12 specific decal sheets. Some are multiples of the same sheet, but they are Adam 12 specific and apparently in different scales. The clip pics from the tv shows and promotional shots with
  • IMCDB is a great source for pics as it originally appeared in the show *PICS* *LINK*
• I like that little blue roadster pickup... *NM*
• I'm glad you guys still like the pics. Are you seeing a lot of duplicates? I lost track a long time ago, and although I add a couple dozen new ones to the library every week, I have a feeling that things are getting a little less "miscellaneous" than I'd like. *NM*
  • Well, you never repeated my actual car. Come on man, what's up with that! ;^) > . *NM*
    • Stay tuned long enough, I'm sure it'll roll around again! *NM*
• did some more work on the AMT 63 Impala today (PICS)
  • Everything that you've done is great so far, nice work! *NM*
  • My AMT didn't have firewall or radiator or hoses..The 64 firewall fit but the rad was too high and didn't work right..Would have thought..Used the engine but kept hood closed on mine..Yours looks good so far..Keep it going.. *NM*
    • New parts were added in the last reissue. *NM*
      • This is the 63 Impala kit I am working on (PIC)
        • That's the one. *NM*
  • Looking good!! *NM*
• No problem Andy. *NM*
• How could I not be digging on "Blew By You".... Heard recently that the car got sold and I didn't think for a whole lot of money on a turn key car with that rep. *NM*
• Just love those Duster's..... Was one of my best cars in HS *NM*
• Great reference stuff. Thanks, David. *NM*
• If you were to have a say in the next new model to be made, but it had to be a convertible.... what would be your choice? *NM*
  • 71 Cuda *NM*
    • Or Revell to do a 66 Vette using the 67 tooling *NM*
      • I agree with Frank *NM*
  • For me, I'd like to see Revell do this one. 1971 Ford Torino GT convertible except with Magnum 500s *LINK* *PIC*
    • Would Agree!! *NM*
  • Since we're wishing, any of these...PICS
    • Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss!!!! *NM*
    • sigh...you have good taste ! *NM*
    • I was going to suggest the '53 Skylark. Thanks for posting a pic. *NM*
    • Lord God, YES!!! *NM*
    • I would like to see a 65 Imperial *PIC*
    • Odd that there are no Buicks kitted from that era. *NM*
      • in 1/25th scale. *NM*
  • Re: 2020 mustang gt cali special *NM*
  • 1960 Impala, 1958 Impala, 1956 Bel Air, and a stretch, 1954 Bel Air
    • Ditto! *NM*
    • Re: 1960 Impala....That is the same color of the 60 Hardtop that I made my 1st pass down the dragstrip. Chrome wheels, 283/3 speed converted to the floor. Was a pretty fast car. Early 61 *NM*
  • Any 1955 to 1957 Mopar, ideally a 56 or 57 DeSoto just to be different. *NM*
    • Andy, I could go for that era. When I was in high school a cousin (RIP) had a '55 Plymouth. How 'bout a '55 Belvedere?.....PIC
  • Ferrari 275 GTB/4 N.A.R.T. *NM*
    • I'd be fine with that one! *NM*
  • One of the 1971-75 GM full size cars, preferably a 75 Pontiac Grandville. *NM*
    • Ditto! *NM*
  • How about a 1970 Hurst Chrysler 300, with optional up top? *NM*
    • BINGO!!!!! *NM*
  • 55,56 Buick *NM*
    • Yes Ron, I could go for either of those....PIC
  • '76 Cadillac Eldorado
  • 1968 Ford Galaxie XL *NM*
  • 1969 or 1970 Mustang. *NM*
• Fun ride! *NM*
• Nice line up. *NM*
• MOVING DOWN THE BENCH ASSEMBLY LINE... Finally able to get to a long stalled project. Thanks Scott L for the "Twister" decals. question: Why would I have stalled this? MARTY THAT'S IT! I blame him LOL. PIC and thanks for looking
  • Ya know, I was just thinking the other day about those decals and wanting to see when you were going to use those. Can't wait to see it finished. *NM*
    • You see where I left it.... Can't believe I left it for so long. *NM*
  • Yeah I want to see it finished too. I have a couple I want to build along with the Mustang versions. *NM*
  • I have a soft spot for that generation of Torinos. Can't wait to see this one finished! *NM*
  • What the heck did I do to sidetrack you???? *NM*
  • NICE!! *NM*
• I've been trying to decide what graphics to put on mine. I don't like the kit colors. I'll have to look at older paint schemes now, thanks. It looks great. *NM*
• I have to stop looking at your posts. I come away with way to many project ideas. *NM*
  • I hear you Terry. Between Mopar Madness, Friday Night Randomness and Sunday night photos I need to live quite a few more lifetimes to build half of what caught my eye! But still keep them all coming ya hear! *NM*
    • I second that. *NM*
    • The one good thing about being old is I forget what I want to build if I don't have the kit on my shelf. And I forget what I want to buy before I get to the store. *NM*
      • Then...when you get home, there's always a new lady waiting for you. It's a win/win! *NM*
        • Exactly! I worked in a big corporate office at one point and l told this one lady that her dress was very pretty. She said that l had told her that very time she wore it. I told take a compliment when ever it's given. *NM*
• I'm digging the pic of the wheel standing Willys with the AMT sticker on the fender! *NM*
• Re: Thanks for the pics Bill as I'm likin' that '69 yellow Bee. *NM*
  • Me too! But I never did like those fender scoops. They just don't work for me. *NM*
• Love the name on this Chevy for two reasons. 1. It's a clever play on words and 2. It made me think of Linda Ronstadt in her prime. ;^) *NM* *PIC*
• Haven't learned how to do that yet, Nick. Besides, it hasn't been finished(painted, decals, etc.) as of yet. Still looks purty sittin' on the antique "flat top" steamer trunk though. *NM*
• Pretty rare, neatly done! Were they built locally then, I seem to think so *NM*
  • Yep imported USA frames,mechanicals,fenders etc with Oz made body shells that look the same but are different to US ones, my Dodge uses Plymouth frame,fenders,hood,lights,bumpers but Dodge grille & badges,less than 1000 4dr sedans,maybe 100 coupes & 100 utes were made. *NM*
• Amazing wife! Does she have a sister. And if it's Fujimi, be careful, it may not have an engine, LOL *NM*
