It seems to have gone extinct. That tape, and most of the dry transfer (rub-on) letters and numbers, were used mainly by architects and draftsmen, all of which have moved on to other means of doing their work.

Great looking monte Carlo!

Outstanding looking Galaxie with some superb detailing!!

Oh yes they made a V8 I have a photo of a 57 with dual quads from the factory. I'm old enough to remember the 57 Hudson they could open up into a full bed quite a history in its day.

I built the Revell '54 Chevy Panel Wagon a while back and I thought that was going to break me from purchasing older kits. Then I purchased the old Revell '56 Ford F-100. Good grief.......that one hurt. lol In short......I feel your pain brother.

'60s were vastly superior to now in my past-it geezer opinion, when even most frilly girly girls could drive manual gearboxes.

I got one of my grail kits off Ebay, and tbh, I will be buying another 1-2 of that kit off Ebay soon. I have bought truck parts, pc parts etc off there and had no issues!

More pictures from Sean Svensden. Now we have the CAD images of the Pro Touring Comet showing the overall model, the chassis, and the engine bay!

I,ve found that it's easier to fit the foil through the slots, before drinking the wine!😅

hopefully you won't be gone long will miss your builds.

1) GET A PAYPAL ACCOUNT FIRST. That way you have two levels of protection if you get a shrink-wrapped box of sprues that was listed as a sealed kit. It happens. BUT...in thousands of transactions on eBay using PayPal, I've never lost a nickel. 2) NEVER GET IN BIDDING WARS. People who keep bidding the price up in $1 increments for a week and think they're going to win because everyone else will drop out are idiots.

Awesome job on the build!!! Looks better than most of the kit builds, especially like the conversion to a 6v71. Very nice. DJ

While I had the paintbooth up and running, I painted the Ford GT. Looks good, but there are many body parts to this model! I hope got them all!

Great job there KEN!!! Made it into something worth showing!!! DJ

i remember Auto World selling "pinstripe tape"

cool thanks

I really like this car. Had a 66 Ford LTD four door hardtop years back in that color. Had the heavy die cast grille like the 7 litre.

All I can say, is...... W O W !!!!!! This is gonna be some kind of wild!!!!!! DJ

I might have the trim piece for your hood bulge laying around.

Looks amazing! Very clean build and excellent detailing! Bart

Welcome Tavis!

I just started this car this week after playing around with wheels and tires. The wheels are from revells 64 Thunderbolt and I think they look really tough on this car with the white wall pie crust slicks. Im also going to go with a gold paint job with white accents. Oh and its got to have a tuck n roll interior. My inspiration was this car that I saw at the 2024 goodguys heartland nationals, I really like the attitude and stance of this car. Here's the moch-up of the car, had to hog out the rear slicks to fit the wheels, quick work with a dremmel. This kit also has a molded in exhaust, I forgot to take a before picture. Here's the finished result. Thanks for looking Elliot

I've used very thin foam plates from the Dollar store they seem to work fine. The plate bottom is very thin and you can do a tuck and roll, diamond pleat or any other design. If you think foam is too thick you can grind some of the seat down smooth and add the foam. Paint with acrylic paints as any oil paint will melt the foam. Dave

Thanks guys! I've actually made two seat belts that go over the back to a fixing and lay on the front of the seat. They only took about an hour! Now, tomorrow perhaps two more! OH what do you use to cut the photo-etch from their sprue please?
