  1. GBO! Coon dogs rule the world!!!
  2. I really like all three versions, but I’ll vote for the third and most recent version as my favorite. It’s a stellar example of what can be achieved using the ancient 32 Ford kit. It still looks great after all these years.
  3. I really enjoyed following along during the build process in your WIP. Every day I checked into the forum, the first thing I would do was look and see if you had updated your build thread. I was riveted! Now that you have posted photos of the finished product, I can describe it in one word, Outstanding!
  4. Another solution would be to use a small wire with black insulation. Experiment with what size would work best. Make sure the wire is long enough to wrap around the windshield and rear window. Strip the insulation from the wire and carefully split the insulation and push it down onto the edge of the glass and trim to fit. It will resemble the gasket used on the actual truck and it will no longer be too small for the opening and much easier to install cleanly.
  5. Thanks for the compliment. Blue is my favorite color, and I have to resist the temptation to paint every one of my builds some shade of blue. The wheels and tires, which I think look really killer, came in the Revell Dodge Copperhead concept car. I’m not much of a white wall and hub cap fan.
  6. Hello model car world, I am reposting a build from several years ago. The thread was done in by Photobucket because I liked my money better than their services. So, I’ve taken some new photos using my new I-phone 14 to try out the camera, and I have to say the camera is outstanding. I built the Plymouth using most of the parts it came with, and some that didn’t. Some polished Dupli-Color was used on the outside, with Modelmaster on the inside. I also adjusted on the stance and attitude to give it a more modern look. It’s a better kit than it gets credit for. A fun build for sure.
  7. Use a small wire with black insulation, make sure it’s long enough to wrap around the edge of the plastic windshield. Strip the insulation from the wire, then split the insulation with a no. 11 blade. Push the insulation down onto the edge of the plastic windshield, trim to fit. The insulation looks like the gasket on the actual truck and the windshield will no longer be to small. It will fit much better and much easier to attach with a clean look.
  8. Hey, thanks Roger. 😃 The wheels, tires & brakes came in the AMT/ERTL Camaro concept car. I think the concept car came around 2006, or so.
  9. Here’s my ‘66 El Camino, built using a lot of the parts it came with, and some that didn’t. Some polished Dupli-Color was used on the outside, with Testors on the inside. Adjusted on the stance and the attitude for a more modern look. A fun one, no doubt.
  10. Thanks big guy. 🙂 I used the chassis from the Monogram Tim Richmond Folger’s Monte Carlo SS. Kit # 2734. I had to modify the cal and dash, along with some other small areas, to get it to all work together. It was nothing too hard or difficult to pull off. Good luck with your build. I hope I get to see it when you finish it.
  11. My list would have to include the Badman ‘55 and the S’cool Bus funny car.
  12. Why don’t you just spray it from the can? You said you got pretty good results. Why try to reinvent the wheel? It’s way easier and less messy. Shake the can really good for at least two minutes and heat the can with some hot water. The hot water helps increase the pressure in the can and helps it spray better. I have three air brushes but I rarely ever use them, the only time I break it out is when I use the Testors bottles. Good luck big guy! You can do it.
  13. I built this soon after it came out several years ago. If I had known then what unbuild examples of these were selling for today, it would have remained unbuild. Regardless, it builds up very nice, and I think was the best of the lot, as far as the Pro Shop kits.
