    All right Scott is going to be doing the Olds 442 I'm looking for someone to ship me a kit so I can scan it to have reference values I'll pay the shipping if you need me to and I will return it and if if you want a front end conversion I'll include it for free after it's done

    Did anything ever happen from this? I'm really wanting to convert my 71 kit to a 70.

  2. I'm in need of 2 glass assemblies for AMT'S 1/25 1965/66 Mustang Notchback not the fastback. I was trying to vacuum form a glass essembly from my 66 for my 66 promo and ended up melting/deforming the good glass. Guess I still need to practice with that darn machine. I tried reaching out to Round 2 to see if I could get a replacement from them but no luck. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

  3. I'm not here to take away from him but I will say what I've seen. I have not personally been a customer of his but several of my Facebook friends have. The wait times are huge 1 of my friends has mentioned he's been waiting 6 months now for his order. Now this is where it could seem like I'm trying to take away from his business. The kits he offers are available as files on multiple 3D file sites. That said if you have or know someone with a 3D printer you could in theory get your order sooner. I'm not saying not to order from him but be prepared for a long wait. Those who have received there orders are very satisfied with the products.

    Thanks Everyone 

  5. Well since I'm visiting the forums I'll share my just finished Mustang GT4. This 1 was almost done last year when I messed up a decal and put it to the side. I finally decided to finish it. Box stock build aside from some extra carbon fiber decals. If you remember my "Shelby Blue Crew" from years ago you'll know this shade of blue gets put on most my Mustang builds.

  6. Long Time no Post. Most my Builds are shared on social media anymore but I still stop by the forums every so often to see what's up. Anyway here it is. My 2013 Boss 302. The Wheels and Tires are 3D printed as are the grills and rear window louvers. The side scoops are from the AMT 67 Shelby. Color is Tamiya Coral Blue. Thanks for Looking.20230115_082614.thumb.jpg.1570d6be60cf75ae8010a26ade56fcbd.jpg

  7. I'd Be Happy To See a Reissue of this kit. It is a good kit missing the window trim is really the only downside. That and the engine builds kinda weird but that doesn't bother me. I used it to build a replica of the truck I had in High School only to roll it 8 months after buying it. To make my 2000 I had to use a Revell Lightning front end that I had to modify to match the 99+ Nose the wheels and tires were also pulled from a Revell kit and the bed cover is from the Testors? purple diecast with black flames. I miss that truck but boy was it rotted when I got it but as a first vehicle it was awesome. I mudded it almost every day and it kept ticking even after ending up on it's roof. I would definitely buy another Lindberg F150.

  8. Looking for the Roof Wing for the AMT Cuckoo Nest Ford Van. I am wanting to build a replica of the Firestone Ford Van to match the F150 and Courier. Any help would be appreciated also if you know of a roof scoop that is close to what the Firestone van had I'd be interested in that as well. I could also do 3D files too as I have 2 printers. Thanks Everyone.

    Here is my van so far. My kit is the Surfer Van.

  9. wow this is cool! I have been looking all over for Resin Rivs, Toronados, and Eldos more looking than intending to buy but knowledge of this is cool. I had a 92 Riv which I hoped someone would cast or 3d Model but sadly nobody seems to like the 89-93 Body as much as me lol. Cool builds for sure great work!

  10. I've tried emailing a couple times in regards to the Durango and IH pickup even tried Facebook messenger and he never got back to me. Shame because i would love those 2 kits especially since my parents had a Durango growing up that I'd love to replicate. Hopefully He gets back to you.
