Why was the Supernatural 67 Impala 4 door kit discontued?
Muncie replied to GMP440's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
In the pictures that I've seen of the kit seat and the car on the show... The front and back seats have different patterns. The front seat is also smaller than the stock seat. It looks like the front upholstery wore out and it was replaced a seat from something else instead of replacing the upholstery on the original seat frame. Not a big deal for TV/Movie cars. I think somebody casts a correct stock seat. -
Pro Comp was a class with supercharged alcohol (not nitro) funny cars, unblown nitro funny cars, blown alcohol dragsters and unblown nitro dragsters all competing for the same trophy. Most pf the blown alcohol funny cars looked almost like their blown nitro brothers but Veney's cars were a lot swoopier than almost anything on the drag strip. He pretty much dominated pro comp in the mid 1970's.

I'm hoping there will be a future for this kit - with a stock front seat. (doesn't somebody make one?) I'll be patient. -
Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Muncie replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I don't know if it has ever been officially attributed, it is probably a Kent Fuller chassis - Revell had connections with Tommy Ivo, Ivo had connections with Fuller...

Dupli-Color Hi-Build Primer
Muncie replied to ewetwo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
This one, Duplicolor 1699 Primer Sealer is a good barrier over plastic, and under lacquer. It dries smooth and does not obliterate detail. Needs enough coats to cover and prevent the topcoat from getting through. Primer Sealer – Duplicolor -
WHATS GOING ON HERE?

Looks like we started out with prices for new trucks... stumbled across a website last week for used trucks at U-Haul with very low prices on trucks less that are 2 years old and less than 15,000 miles. Very, very, very basic trucks with less than normal equipment and options but all that somebody would want/need on a truck for an afternoon to haul bark dust. Kind of puts a different perspective on pricing when it's thousands of trucks for a very specific purpose. -
Looking For A Special Glue
Muncie replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Long ago, I recoated some hard flexible molded trim panels and seat upholstery made of different plastics with a paint made for upholstery - very little plastic knowledge so I don't know what plastics they were. The upholstery paint that I used seemed to get it's adhesion by "melting" into the top surface of the plastic. It actually softened the plastic until it dried. Probably not only to stick to the part but to be more durable little by getting the color into the plastic so it would not wear off so easily. Strange stuff, it probably would have turned kit plastic into a putty consistency. Like I say, just an idea and the SEM rattle can appeared easy to use. -
Looking For A Special Glue
Muncie replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Just kicking out an idea here ... SEM makes an aerosol paint for upholstery vinyl and other flexible plastics. Not cheap, but not bad if it works. it's available at some auto detail supply or some auto paint supply shops. Probably should be confirmed by testing a sample for compatibility and to see if it will work. Color Coat™ Aerosols | SEM Products -
Looking For A Special Glue
Muncie replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
3M Plastic Emblem and Trim Adhesive. It's a tube glue, no mixing. I've seen it available at some auto parts stores, (maybe even Walmart?) but an auto body supply shop would definitely have it. It's like a high-performance contact cement. Buy the smallest size that you can get - It will stick the cap to the tube rendering the remaining glue in the tube hard to get. Reasonable price in the smaller tubes. It takes a couple of days to dry to full strength but seems to stick to anything. Strong enough for any abuse that I could give it. -
Hey Alan, what's the deal? have you gone roque on us... Monogram 1932 Fords instead of AMT? Next thing we know, you'll be building with the steering wheel on the LH side. Ok, well OK, these are really great - taking things back to their origins with cool and appropriate changes. The straight front axle on Son of Ford is a good improvement and really makes it look like it should. I like them! Good to see you back, Steve

That's really cool, great color and your painted trim gives it a cool look, love it!

Are we talking about things like electronic ignition? GM went to HEI in 1973 (a good thing in my book) I'm not sure parts stores even stock ignition points anymore...
