  16. would be interested in all of them especialy the can am been my favorite car since i can remember.please if you make it or here there being made please let us all know.i miss the 70s cars i was kid and it was a good time for cars the one i can remember.
  17. try harbor frieght { www.harborfreight.com }they have them at about the best price i have seen not sure how good they are but as far as cost.i worked with a mill 17 years ago we use to make our own custom wheels years ago for models.my friend was 12 years older than me but we built models together he showed me how to use one he took me under his wing when i was ten and shown me everything i helped build a model and the 1:1 version of his 70 elamino ss had a 671 blower on a 427 all aluminum chevy block it was cool but if you get going and start selling parts or ideas hit me up i can be reached at michaeljmurphy1973@yahoo.com my computer doesnt always work.but would love to see someone make some wheels and stuff at a relative decent price or i could afford sorry single dad.
  18. honestly i have use blue rtv silocone years ago and epoxy and other fillers.but at hobby town they have a resin kit with a mold makeing kit with it i dont know how good or bad it is.i had good luck with the sealer other than it takes a day or two to set up and be plyable .my instructer at enginering school showed me this trick becouse i never had much money so it was all about cost and i made a few good molds from the rtv sealer.and they were pretty detailed its been 6 years since i did that i use it to make car molds for a display of a garage i built.if you use epoxy please light sand and primer or the paint will just slide off or not take at well.hope this helps in some way.i heard of people useing plater molds already but not sure how maybe try youtube i find ideas off of there becouse there are step by step videos on there of everything.hope something in this was helpful or at least send in you the direction you want to be.
  19. i belive its {horcepowertv.com}.they are building a falcon doing that and car craft i beleive they had a article on there site about building one.but muscle car tv comes on sunday morning around 11 or 11:30 on the east coast.it son spike.and they have a site you can watch the episodes.other than maybe check out the nhra site they may have links.i have a friend that built one but not sure if he has pictures ill check with him.his is a 63 nova altered with a straight axle up front.i know if you go to nostalgic drag raceing website they have pics and info for that.hope this helps in some way.
  20. hello everyone and thank you to anyone that reads this.im a single dad i do have a girlfriend that helps support my youngest son and haveing another one on the way plus i have to older kids that i pay 600 a month for.i love the hobby but im always looking for cheap ways to make more detail that being said.i look around the garage in front of me for wires laying around for plug wires and stuff to make fuel lines and brake lines.i dont use the foil becouse some months i am lucky till the bills and food is done im out of money so anyone with cheap ways to detail a car.i buy my kits from a guy that gives me a price breakmost of the time i spend no more than 12 dollars for a kit.and he sells wheels and stuff from the ones he built and i get the parts cheap or sometimes free and the dicals.but anyone with detail help thats cheap.im going splurge and a gibson engine for my annaversy.
