No HD (old 25" CRT) and certainly no premium package. No wonder I never heard of it. I do, however, have the old show taped (VCR) where his dad and crew rebuilt his 56 F-100 for him. I own my own 56, but its just a beat up old truck.

Well..i wont be able to watch it. never heard of that channel. Agree..would rather see jessi do some actual work. That young lady has talent. Too bad they kept Chris on. He is weird. Maybe it will hit reruns on some other channel one day.

I remember K-mart is always where I wanted to go as a kid. Walmart had a pretty good selection back in the 70s as well. Still nothing within 100 miles of here that carry any kits of supplies.

Its even worse when they had 30+ coat laquer paint jobs on 1:1 cars years ago. Umm..sanding and polishing between each coat...how many coats were really left? I am just starting my first kit as an adult, so I honestly do not know how to answer your question. I will be reading any replies you may receive though. Excellent question.

I don't have a stash...not even a parts box yet. 49 ford tudor sedan 49 ford tudor sedan (not a typo-have two of them) 87 Mustang GT 56 F-100 (that I had forgotten about).

Nice build. I had a 72 Grand Torino GT and my cousin had the Ranchero GT (same year). Both had the 351 cleveland.

I know this may be boring to many of you with the excellent builders I have seen around here. Just trying to get back into the hobby. These kits and parts have shrunk since I was a kid. I have the body mostly cleaned up. I know I have some putty work and a lot more sanding to do before primer. I have the frame cleaned up. I have the interior bucket cleaned up. Not sure how much putty work and sanding will need to be done there yet. I started assembling the flathead V8 and the rear end this evening. This will be a slow process.

Thanks guys. I have been cleaning flash, mold lines, and the little nibs (don't know what they are called) off of parts tonight. I will definitely clean everything up and use soft scrub and brush on it before primer. I will have to wait until these storms (from the gulf all way up here) blow over to go outside and prime. I started gluing up the engine tonight.

Thanks guys. I got tied up and didn't get to play with the body. This is not a great picture, but maybe you can sort of see it in the middle of this door. I am trying to set up a folding table now to get started cleaning up some of the major parts to get started.

thank you. My first kit since i was a kid..and the body is screwed.

Your welcome. Newbie...trying to read anything i can find.

Cool. The rapid prototype machine I work with..is no where near good enough for these. Its older technology.

I have never used an airbrush..but maybe this will help? http://www.squidoo.com/thinning-acrylic-paints

hello all, I have not touched a model in years. Starting my first one tomorrow. I need your help. I tried to take pictures of this..but I can't get the issues to show up on camera. I have been through MrObsessive's tutorial many times. http://www.modelcars...eling 101&st=0 I do not see anything in his tutorial that describes what I have. These are all down the sides, on the roof and trunk on mine. Its bad. The model is one of the older AMT 49 fords...cast in gray (not the later white). Yes..a lot of flash to remove too. I cannot feel them with my thumbnail, but there is some sort of imperfection where the plastic flowed together in the injection molding process. Can anyone explain what to do here? I know that sort of thing will ghost through the paint. Anything and everything shows on the 1:1 cars I have painted. thank you in advance.

I just saw that show last night. They redid her car. She looks good for 60. Of course the dark glasses as herself helped. I saw Casandra Peterson in person around 87 or 88.

Well..I found a big plano box. Its the "angle" style. In other words the "trays" are set at a 15 degree angle toward the top. Which in turn makes the top storage area slope from the back depth..to zero at the front of the box. No flat deeper area to keep paint bottles. Instead of the deeper area on one side for the spinner bits. It has small areas on both sides..which have almost no depth. Cant keep taller items there. Instead of the larger opening one side of the front..its divided into small ones on each side too. Not much way to store any larger items. Overall, I was not happy with it for my modeling supplies. Looks great for a fisherman though. I will wait a bit and order one online. Thanks so much for your help and suggestions everyone. Right now, everything is sitting in a cardboard box. Hahahahaha

Amazing work. How did you widen the tub? I have not seen that done on here yet. I am new.

Sweet! There is a lot more room in them than I thought. Thank you so very much. That will be perfect for me at home as well. I do not have an area where I can just set up and work (yet). Dining room table it is..for now.

You guys are awesome. I have searched for the last couple of days (learning in everything I found), but had not seen these portable ideas before. Thank you so very much.

Thank you gentlemen. Both are very similar design wise. Both the same brand. The 737 is just slightly larger. The 7271 is 6.8 pounds shipping weight, so the other cant be much more than that empty. Guess i will see which one i can find in stock. Still would love to see pics at some point though. Just out of curiosity.

Wal-mart (and a few other places) no longer carry the 737. No local sporting goods stores or anything. I found that one at Bass Pro (would need to order online). I do like the solid drawers on that model. Wal-mart is of course out of stock here, but they carry the "angled" series of boxes (can have shipped to the store free). They have those plastic boxes in them, rather than the drawers. Whatever I do...I wont be able to see one in person before I buy anything. What is your honest opinion of the drawers? Is there a way you could get a few pics of yours for me? Dr....something like that would be awesome! I am just starting out and will not have an air brush or anything for a while.

Hmm...interesting idea for a "car kit" for all my doctors appointments. Thanks. I am often on the road, stuck in some room or whatever. I hate watching TV and I am trying to get back into models.

Red steelies...trim rings..baby moons...sweet!

That sounds absolutely perfect! Exactly what I need. I would very much appreciate pictures. Thank you.

How about this? http://www.italianho...se/flexhose.htm Make it whatever size you need.
