Thanks for the help. These will going on an Autocar and LTL 9000. I've scratchbuilt one but it didn't turn out the way I'd hoped.

Upcoming MPC Reissues - '79 Nova and '73 Cougar
Rbray47 replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'll pick one up. -
I'll have to pick one of these up when they're out. I bought a sealed original at a swap meet a few years ago. It's so horribly warped that I never finished it.

74 Ford F100
Rbray47 replied to bill lanfear's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I love it! Looks like one my dad used to have. 74 with a 240/auto and the same paint (originally) One of my earliest memories was the last ride in it, and by that time the most of the truck was in gray primer. -
Ollie's strike again
Rbray47 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I picked up the AMT 40 Ford, 65 Bonneville, and D50 at the store in Richmond, Ky today. They had what was in the flyer plus the mail truck. They won't last long as the ebay resellers will buy most of them this weekend. -
Ollie's strike again
Rbray47 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's been a couple of weeks or more since I stopped at my local Ollie's. Today I went back hoping they had some 70 Vettes or Myers Manx left. Nope. All gone. Not wanting to leave empty handed, I bought a 1/32 60 Tbird. Not sure it was worth $12.99 plus tax, but it'll be a fun change of pace hopefully. -

Thanks for the help. I have some Mica red, but even after dulling i worry the metallic pigment would show. I may stop and get a can of dull red and try both.

It was called Garnet Red in the 90s, correct? I'm building a Revell Caprice and I was thinking doing it red on red. What paint would be a good match for the interior, something off the shelf at either Hobby Lobby or Hobbytown? Thanks!

Ollie's strike again
Rbray47 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I wouldn't have bought one. It's not really the subject matter for me. (Maybe it is for some?) Its the "classic cruiser" box art. However my wife did pick one up for me, and it turned out to be a pretty decent kit. -

The Ollie's in Richmond Ky had a fairly good selection. I bought the Manx, Camaro 50, and 70 Corvette. They also had the Craftsman 64 Galaxie, 23 Depot Hack, 61 Ranchero, Copperhead dragster, one damaged Ford surfin van, as well as a couple 1/32 kits. -
Nice looking build. It's been a while since I built mine (Z28 small block) but my hood didn't shut right either. I shaved down the hood "hinges" because I think they were hitting against the firewall. I haven't heard of this issue before so I probably didn't install the firewall correctly.
