Doesn't look like there is much in the way of optional parts:

Hendrickson is still around: https://www.hendrickson-intl.com/ https://www.tfltruck.com/2017/12/truck-rewind-tesla-semi-1975-hendrickson-paymaster/ “The Paymaster was a truck ahead of its time. Major truck manufacturers told Dean his design would be impossible to build, so he did it himself. After building the first two, Dean granted a license agreement to Hendrickson International of Chicago, Illinois, who produced ten Paymasters in the 1970s.” – – tenfourmagazine.com

That image is 3024 x 3024 pixels square...that's huge. The forum automatically sizes images to fit the screen or page from what I recall, but you could save a lot of wasted space by cropping the image before uploading it.

Olivia Newton-John approves. -
Follow the below post, using "airbrush" as the search word. There must be at least 30 topics on this forum alone discussing airbrushes-- which is best, which pressures to use, how to use them, how to...etc.

Thanks, Mark.

I have a pie-crust style slick with a separate styrene whitewall and a 5-slot wheel (I believe all three are a matching set) and an unknown hood from some compact Pro Stock style car whichi I could need some help indentifying. I can't find a match for an AMT nor MPC Pinto nor Vega. The AMT Nova and Ventura hoods are shown for comparison below. The slick is just a tad shorter in height than the 1/24 Monogram pie crust slicks with the separate sidewall (with M&H lettering, etc.), but the sidewall on the mystery slick is smooth:

Not sure which decals and box art will be used this time around, but the below (original issue?) would be a good choice.

Stripping chrome & flat black issues. Need advice
Casey replied to DPNM's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Just want to reiterate that I first blasted the seats with Easy Off oven cleaner, which did remove 75% of the paint, so maybe that made it easier for the alcohol to remove the rest? Either way, flat black is the most stubborn of paints it seems. -
More like one person. Round2 is not a big company by any means, and they do sub-contact box art work, like the above '60 Starliner, which was done by Brad Leisure: http://www.horse-powergraphics.com/category-s/1904.htm

Aftermarket Racing Style Bucket Seats in Kits
Casey replied to Casey's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I agree they are most likely from an MPC kit. Here are a few more, with #25 being the same as #6 from the group image in post #1, and the yellow Piranha dragster seat for size/scale comparison: I think #26 is from the AMT '65 Mustang AWB/Street Freak kit, and #27 is from the "Rat Packer" '65 Chevy II AWB kit. -
Thanks for the correction. Was the V8 from the JO-HAN '70+ Eldorado actually the Olds V8 from the Toronado?
