  1. I found this: http://www.modelencyclopedia.com/EditItem.php?ItemId=6506 and this : http://www.modelencyclopedia.com/DisplayWholeItem.php?ItemId=6506
  2. My family just finds it easier to publish wish lists to the rest of the family, the only possible downside is duplicates...which is not always a bad thing.
  3. that is looking sweet! I'm beginning to think you have a bunch of elves working in your model shop all night long and you pay them with cookies.
  4. dang....when things go past the $100 mark I usually decide to just make my own... I suppose if I had one of those I'd be happy to fleabay it for over $400.
  5. maybe he wants to improve his fuel mileage...so he put a vacuum advance unit on his distributor... detailing looks good to me. just don't mess it up by running the fuel lines to the carb vacuum secondary diaphragms.
  6. I think you are misunderestimating the severility of the circumstantiation.
  7. Those carbs are a work of art, awesome job!
  8. There may be enough room to run the tie rod in front of the axle.
  9. I think similar PE wire wheels can be found at slot car parts vendors, I got some 1/32 scale wires for future builds.
  10. I think it's a new racing class where you have to tow a car through the whole course.
  11. Yup, per wiki, the QS is Fiero based, I must have looked at one of the othe Zimmers.
  12. I've seen a Zimmer in person, I could swear I saw the hood open and GM corprate engine and running gear in frnt engine config.
  13. I bet you'd sell a ton of finned drums w/machined back plates to go with all the halibrands you've sold.
  14. I have to agree with the other posts...awesome!
  15. I am looking forward to seeing if your execution on the trunk hinge assembly will come close to the ideas I have for my own builds.
  16. AMT 68 El Camino has those wheels in the kit.
  17. Thanx for the great info.
  18. Are ya gonna torsion spring the trunk or maybe go with gas shock style fulcrum to hold the trunk open?
  19. is it similar to the 2008 chassis? has anyone worked with the revell ZR1 that's blue on the box?
  20. I need recommendations for a vette kit that has separate chassis for my Foose Imposter build project.
  21. Should be able to graft the louvers into the 38 hood.
  22. I'm sensing a little bias here... just kidding. Just get this budding modeler started right, proper handling of parts, how to separate from the sprue without mangling the parts, etc... And, oh yeah, have fun.
  23. the cougar2 was originally an IMC kit, they were usually well detailed though the ones I had personally seemed a bit smaller than the 1/25 scale claimed on the box. the door windows on the cougar2 don't actually "roll" up/down but the are made to be raised/lowered and I think the front wheels are poseable.
  24. I agree on the Tom Daniel kits, monogram made them rather simple. I think we should just wait and hear what fascinates this new model builder.
  25. find out what excites this potential model builder, whether it's race cars, hot rods, custom cars, trucks...etc. introduce to this forum, show the possibilities, advise that it's a learning process and that skills need to be learned/developed.
