  1. Thanks guys, I'll look for the other kits mentioned.
  2. Howdy, I'm getting back to modelling after many years and have to re-learn old skills. I will be building a 1929 Ford Hi-Boy based on Replicas & Miniatures resin body and will (I think) paint it with some Apple Green Pearl Candy auto paint over either a white or gold metallic base, then clear coated. My question relates to decals (e.g., flames) and auto paint. Would auto paint adversely affect decals? Can I put on the decals, then do a clear coat over them?
  3. I've just come back to model building after many, many years - and hope my old (65yr old) eyes and hands keep up to my enthusiasm - and am re-learning skills. I've ordered a kit of the '41 Pittman Willys and believe it contains a hemi. I think I would like to incorporate the original Olds motor and am wondering what would be the best bet for that engine? For example, I understand that the Beatnik Bandit kit has an Olds motor. As a secondary question, what is the best way to remove chrome from kit engines? I would prefer to paint certain parts in aluminum/magnesium/etc. rather than bright chrome.
