  1. Excellent looking build of an iconic Corvette! If that taillight is painted with a "soft" paint like Testors Silver, I might suggest you take a toothpick with a point dipped in warm water and with a little work you could probably chip-away that painted dot in the center. I'd start with warm water before going to something harsher like a paint thinner... just my thoughts. Still a well done build!
  2. I am looking for (2) of the steel wheels found inside the 1/25 AMT '32 Ford Coupe kit. These same wheels may have been inside some other older AMT kits as well. I am in Illinois... thanks!
  3. Thankfully Old Trucker shipped me exactly what I was looking for... the parts are soaking in my chrome stripping solution right now. Thanks all, and thanks to Johnny specifically!
  4. Anybody have any pair of 1/25 Weber carbs similar to the ones shown in my picture? They could be from any 1/25 kit and do not have to be chrome.
  5. Looking for (1) Weber carbs chrome piece like or similar to the ones shown here from the 1/25 Revell BRE Datsun 510 Race Car kit; have lots to trade... I am in Illinois; thanks!
  6. Yes, thanks for these new pics!
  7. A terrific looking build! I'm curious about how that 1/2-cab looks inside the bed... especially the back-wall of the cab. I have the first issue of this kit with the full roof and have wondered how different the 1/2-cab looks. If you could post a pic showing inside the bed more to satisfy my curiosity that would be great! Also curious if you know where you got those wheels and tires from?
  8. I remember reading someone's opinion a long time ago that the '66 Buick Skylark was the "sexiest" of all the GM A-bodies in that year and I've always agreed with that thought!
  9. Could only find pictures for one of my ancient Mustang builds... this one was originally-built in the late-1970's I think, and rebuilt back in the late-1990's.
  10. Give me a day or two to get these parts on the way to you. I'll let you know when they are in the hands of the USPS.
  11. Your shipping address is all. I'll remove the pieces from my chrome tree but keep some of the tree intact to support these pieces when they're in the hands of our US Postal Service.
  12. Delton: I've got these 1/25 vintage Revell 56 BelAir chrome trim pieces for you. They are still on my chrome tree; can be seen in the middle of this pic. PM me.
  13. These are the kind of projects that really catch my attention! Beautiful execution. I bet there was a lot of work in determining how these components were all going to come together, and you did a phenomenal job making it happen!
  14. Great looking build! I have one of these IMSA Mustang kits in line to start building some day in the near future... other than the old decals, did you have any other challenges when building this kit?
  15. I am looking to trade for the following front suspension pieces, radiator and firewall pieces from the 1/25 AMT/Round2 1967 Ford Mustang kit. These same pieces can be found inside the '67 Shelby GT350 kit and/or multiple reissues of each of these kits. Lower front suspension Piece #20 Front wheel spindles Pieces #21 & 22 Tie rod Piece #23 Radiator Piece #49 Firewall Piece #45 These pieces can be fresh-from-the-tree or from a built-up if in good, restoreable condition. I am not interested in a complete kit; just these parts. I have a fairly extensive parts box to trade from; I am located in Illinois. Thanks!
  16. ...and the tinted glass that was so dark you could hardly see thru it!

  18. Mike, I'm sorry. When I read your post title, I overlooked the word Daytona and thought you were looking for a Charger kit. For that reason, I thought your request was too vague, and I responded in what I thought would be a helpful way. I was wrong for posting what I did. I'm publicly offering you my apology here Mark
  19. Excellent build! I'm just starting this kit and have been doing a bit of 1:1 research. The kit's instruction book says to paint the engine block a metal color but I've also seen 1:1 pics showing a large variety of different engine block colors. Was curious if anyone has any info about 1:1 engine block colors for Land Rovers of this era? In some of my research, it almost looks like the factory painted the engine block in the same paint color used on the body... is that a possibility?
  20. 1/16 scale? 1/24 scale? 1/25 scale? 1/43 scale? 1966? 1967? 1968? 1969? 1970? 1971? 1972? 1973? 1974? 2005? 2006? 2018? 2021? I'm not trying to be a "smart-a__" here, but your description doesn't really "say it all". Please provide as many details as you can whenever making a Wanted post... I don't think it's possible to provide too much information about what you are seeking... and pictures are extremely helpful, too! Thanks
  21. Everything looks terrific on this build, but I especially applaud your spark plug wiring... it looks so 1:1 and I will be referring back to your engine pic every time I start wiring an engine for one of my own builds!
  22. Really like the new box art, but one thing that looks a bit "off" in the illustration to me is how close that front bumper is to the body and grill... the 1/1's front bumper extends forward quite a bit farther than it appears in this nicely done artwork.
