Meecum Auctions this week. Some interesting cars coming up. The Golden Sahara and the Kookie T (in it's newest form) on Saturday. Lots of detail photo opportunities,

I am thinking Podcasts and youtube "how-tos" and "product revues" may be a bit different.

Our local Club (SABA) will be discussing the use of making Podcasts to help promote model building for the younger generation. I have zero experience with podcasts. I would like your thoughts on the subject. Thanks

I have the pre-painted T kit and it is a very basic screw together kit. Picked it for my Grandson

Why not ? The additional dialogue was very informative to me and others.

Yes Mark answered the initial question. And others added some very helpful and information and insights. And I thank you all.

Yes it has the long narrow battery. Not sure what direction to go on this , but I may just do a custom such as the one in the pic

This kit shows square headlights and round headlights optional

I thought it may be an original issue until I found this on google. According to Wiki they didn't make one in 64

Not on box . not on instructions , no decals

Anyone know the date of issue for the AMT AVANTI 20175-150 ? Thanks

Picked this up at an estate sale today for $4. Not sure if the placement of the steering wheel is correct as there were no instructions

I filled the Cobra body with clay, now that you reminded me. Not sure what plastic I was using thou ?

I dug out my old homemade vacuum former for reference. I made this after reading an article in a model mag, somewhere in the 90's. I had good access to plexiglass at the time. It was designed to use a shop vac.connected via the plumbing connectors. I have so been unable to find the metal framework with handle that would clamp around a sheet of plastic (8.5 x 11). The method of operation was to place the buck (item to be copied) on the top and heat the plastic sheet mounted in the framework, place it in a toaster oven until the plastic started to sag. Then quickly place it over the vacuum box and hit the shop vac "on" switch. I only used it once to try and duplicate a Cobras Daytona body for slot car use. Unfortunately it would not curve inwards at the base of the sides.

Thats a hard no from me. But everybody is entitled to their own taste. Even an ugly child is loved by their Mama
