  1. i'm working on filling some big holes on a center console that i'm using in my hot rod, real car. I'm using some plastic from the center console itself but need some advice on what kind of glue and enforcements to make to keep this hole covered up.
  2. I know in real life the 37 Ford frame would fit multiple year cars. Has anyone tried this in model car land with a 37 street rod chassis to any of the other trucks, coupes, sedans etc...?
  3. I have the 1/16 scale 65 Mustang that I was going to use on a different project but that didn't pan out. I saw a pic of a Mustang ute the other day, and found some side exhaust and wheels from the T/A model kit which gave an idea to do a 70s Mustang ute custom. I was wondering if anyone had any pics of some tricked out Mustangs from the 70s-80s?
  4. That's kind of what I had in mind except with a Model A and a Lincoln V-12. That Road Agent kit might just do the trick.
  5. Kind of figure it would be "bloby" ? I could use the Vette or the Prowler, but I was hoping to use something from that era with a rear trans front engine setup
  6. Is there any Tempest model kits out there that have the rear transaxle, or any other cars that a transaxle setup like that?
  7. So this is technically a question about a part that I'm designing at work. I need to put a tube with a 90* bend into another tube that has the same bend at the top kind of like old Flathead headers. I'm trying to figure out how I would make the cuts to the two different tubes.
  8. As long as every thing looks proportional I think I'll be ok. I saw a Volvo Amazon gasser on pintrest and would like to try building it
  9. That might just work, will 1/25 scale parts be to noticeable on a 1/24 scale car.
  10. Is there any model kits of the Volvo Amazon in standard sizes? Not sure what year that car is, I'm thinking early to mid 60s?
  11. fortunately for me we aren't moving to far so I plan on just putting them in boxes and making as many trips as I need. Other than that I'd say loosely wrap them in bubble wrap, use packing between the models and stack them on the top of the heap
  12. So I bought the 1/16 1984 Corvette, everything on the car is in great shape except under the drivers door, and the horizontal part of the "B" pillar. The rocker panel, and the horizontal part of the "b" pillar bow inward. I'm thinking that I'll have to jerry rig some kind of jig, but what about making the plastic a little more malleable? I can't get pics up just yet, my phone only takes selfies right now.
  13. what do you think of them? I know I should have asked before I bought it but $35 for a sealed big scale kit I couldn't pass it up. I think I've only ever seen the 1/8 Revell, but never the smaller, 1/16 MPC. Any one have any pics?
  14. all that work and I could have just bought the body convertible body
