MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Cuisine Rapide was a PBS show we enjoyed watching, and we were amused by Pierre Franey's accent. (To this day, we call white pepper, "white paper".)
  2. Wasabi is a poor substitute for Preparation-H.
  3. I generally don't build drag cars, but Scott also offers upper shock mounts for the AMT 66 Fairlanes (the kit towers are flat where the upper shock mount should be). I ordered several pairs from him a while back. Parts were nice, communication was excellent. I agree that he is a great guy to do business with.
  4. Kilter is where Les gets his clothing made.
  5. Some of the older kits have some nasty ejector pin marks on the floor. I find that embossing powder is easier than dealing with them 🙂
  6. I think you actually need a Rochester 2GC, not a Carter. https://nationalcarburetors.com/Pontiac-1961-1967-326-389-400-Rochester-2GC_p_868.html
  7. I wish Atlantis would bring back the 1/32 Ford and Chevy (if they wound up with the molds).
  8. I build my models as if I had originally ordered the car to my specs, so I would do the 326 4-barrel in this case. That said, the 215 Pontiac looks a lot like the Chevy 230 painted blue and seems to be based on it. If you want that, do the research and adapt an AMT Nova wagon engine. A friend had a 64 'pest 2 door post with the 215 for a while before the 2008-2009 crash forced him to sell it. It accelerated like fog and got dismal fuel economy.
  9. Yes. I use face slime on matte-finish paint to impart a new leather or vinyl look. For larger scale kits, you may need to borrow some slime from your (in)significant other.
  10. Online brochure shows the 350-2 and the 454 not available in California.
