  1. Moderators - Please remove posting - thank you
  2. Hi Rodent, Thank you so much for your input.. If anyone is casting a flat hood or bench seat, I'd be overjoyed and eager to trade stuff or to purchase them. I'm in no blind panic to locate the parts and I'll be happy with what I can get as I can get it. Maybe buying another kit would be the fastest, but I'm really hoping to do some trading so someone else can benefit from this as life is not just about yours truly. I was actually thinking today that I should just buy a decent built up, but needless to say, they are out of my reach financially. I am not blessed with deep pockets like some of the members here and being a Canadian and having to deal with the crazy shipping and exchange only puts things further beyond my economic means. But I guess that's just the way it is.. I do appreciate the message though.. as always, Gary
  3. Thanks for your input. I've done my homework here and the hood and bumpers are a perfect fit for an old annual.. and that goes for all AMT 67 Impala kits. The interior and chassis are different though. I was just hoping that I could locate the parts needed rather than break up a kit that retails for around $50.00 ( Canadian funds ) after taxes and more than that with shipping. Thanks for the input though,
  4. I have an incomplete original old glue bomb '67 Impala convertible that I would like to try and save. I had this same kit when it was released in 1967 and after a long search, I finally found one several years ago at a good price. I have the body, interior and chassis and I'm wondering if anyone has a Supernatural Impala parts kit that could provide a flat hood and the front and rear bumpers and tail lights. This is not a mint kit, so I want to build it as a more commonly seen, small block Impala which leads me to another question,, were there any GM convertible kits of that vintage that came with a bench seats that I could substitute for the original bucket seats? More than willing to trade or?? I could just get the newer 4 door hardtop but I do not like carving up a complete kit for a few parts. Any advice or help will be appreciated.. thank you.

  7. Thank you for the suggestion.. I may be missing something, but based on what I can find on his Fotki page, he offers hardly any decals compared to what I thought he used to. But I appreciate your input - thank you..
  8. Thank you - I seem to get the sense that white and yellow were very common.. those cars do look good in white I will admit. Mopar seemed to be losing their edge with the really unique performance cars around 1975 - or at least it seems that way too me. Most everything after the late 1960's and early '70's was sort of tame compared to the Challengers, 'Cudas, Chargers, etc. No offence meant to people who like the newer years - but nothing was built that compared in MANY respects.. This is only my personal opinion, by the way.
  9. Thanks for the lead Steve.. I appreciate it. I wonder if anyone on this side of the Atlantic produces a similar product? It will be interesting to know..
  10. I just received a '75 Road Runner rebuilder from a dear friend and I am hoping to do the car in it's original glory with a factory striping package. I am considering painting it white, red or blue.. I am inclined toward white with gold stripes, but it depends on what ( if anything ) is available. I'm almost tempted to backdate the color to 1969 Seafoam Turquoise.. we'll see where it goes with the striping if it is available... Any suggestions will be appreciated guys - thanks in advance.
  11. I have placed a small order with Elm City Hobbies as I found Scott to be VERY personable and willing to help - plus he offers honest, decent, actual shipping charges that sure are the best that I have found.. He has a decent assortment stock and will try to get what is needed if he doesn't have it in stock. My order will come in a padded envelop for considerably less than I'd have to pay were the items coming from the U.S. He'll be my first go to guy for what I need from here on. Thank you guys for the other retailers - I sure appreciate your input.
  12. Sorry guys for not posting.. life has got in the way and I've been sorta tied up.. Thank you everyone for your input, suggestions and advice - I REALLY appreciate each and every reply. I'll try to contact Elm City Hobbies and filing that< I'll go with either R&M or MADD. I've bought from Norm before but that was when we were privileged to have a WA. State mailing address. Crossing the Canada/U.S. Border is no longer an option ( for the time being anyways ) that I can enjoy. Many retailers want inflated prices for shipping into Canada a,d being as I'm not tripping over my money and the cost of living is going up, I am compelled to try to keep expenses down. I also appreciate your tutorial Daniel and will certainly keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you again everyone and I am always open too suggestions. Gary
  13. Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced source for pre-wired distributors in Canada? The postage that most people charge to ship items across the border is all often very high and unreasonable - especially when it comes to many ( most? ) ebay sellers. Any help is appreciated.
