  1. Looks like an interesting month - long video, almost 30 minutes, model cars start at 23:14 a couple of good looking diecast - 1/64 C8 Corvette (let the speculation begin...) -- and 1:18 1934 Ford 3 window coupe hot rod, flathead, no fenders, suede
  2. Hey Alan, very nicely done, and the redo even better. It can be very difficult to make a car look as simple as this. I can remember seeing both of the Model A's that Corno owned at car shows in Portland. There was nothing like them. The cars were well done, and the craftsmanship was outstanding. They were very striking and got a lot of attention. Your replica captures the feelings that I remember.
  3. Yep, here's Mr. Crude, the Hope Lang and Rydell Anglia, Chevy 6 with cylinder head made from two Chevy V-8 small block heads Ran out of Grand Forks North Dakota and London, Ontario Canada These gasser kits deserve the reputation for fiddly builds common to Revell kts from this time period - one opinion is the Anglia is the most likely to be completed.
  4. Steve Magnate over at Motor Trend has some answers - It's a scoop from a Ford truck that Pontiac also used on some 1963 drag cars - both the trucks and the Pontiac used the Super Duty name - Junkyard Crawl: The “Scoop” on the Super Duty Scoop! (motortrend.com). Unfortunately, I don't believe it has ever been in a kit.
  5. I have to go with that also. Thank you for the acknowledgement. I only gave you a few words, you took it to this level. To see what you have done in scale is amazing, it's incredible work. This project is so cool!
  6. Lots of way cool stuff - thank you for posting
  7. Competition Resins - also available from Slixx Decals - has a set CRT-504 eCatalog Order Ordering System for Slixx Decals (ecsvr.com) http://www.slixx.com/images/CRT-504s.jpg
  8. around the place where I worked in the mid '70's, that bolt pattern was known as BVD*. It was even printed that way in some of the wheel catalogs and parts books. * BVD, seemed like an appropriate slang term for something odd but equals Barracuda, Valiant , Dart
  9. good question and attention to detail. Steel on the driver side and probably integral with (welded into) the roll cage. Probably aluminum on the passenger side
  10. Youtube. It's the shop manual for everything. Type in the model number of the range and the part that you are replacing. There are several answers for almost anything, some good, some not so much.
  11. I could go for Project X 1957 Chevrolet kit. I had some issues of Popular Hot Rodding with Project X that spent as much time and got just as greasy as the tools n the garage when I was working on my first car. Good times, good memories. The Clockwork Chevy in Car Craft magazine would be right in there as well.
  12. We may be expecting what we got from Revell. But if the two parts packs from Gofer are any indication, it looks like somebody has done a little work on the manufacturing side. The Gofer dragster chassis and engine are noticeably better quality. Not putting anybody down at Revell, it's been 60 years and things changed. I'm waiting with a bit of excitement to see what Atlantis puts in the box.
  13. Well Done and Way Cool! this one is hitting close to home. My grandfather favored International trucks and had an International pickup in the pinkish orange and cream two tone in your refernce pictures. All of the other equipment was for workin' but that truck was always clean and polished inside and out.
  14. Looking good Mike!, it's not an easy modification to make look that good
  15. The suggestion for Citristrip looked like it had potential - I went to the hardware store to check it out. - The label (which was printed for much better eyes than mine) said - do not use on plastic. Has any body tried it?
  16. thanks, I didn't take into account the views after the broadcast - I'm glad to see they got a lot more online looks
  17. AA/ Blown Fuel Streamliner - from now, when Bonneville is fast (sorry, had to cheat. one A would be fast, but AA is faster)
  18. C/ Modified Production - from when grassroots drag racing was fun.
  19. what was their audience that actually signed in to watch - maybe about 1,000 people?
  20. sounds good to me, I'd rather have then making model cars than polishing presentations.
  21. Well, Round 2 said the new kit was going to be BIG... that means a truck to me. So I'm hoping for something like the truck from Fast and Furious (pick a number) it would be more contemporary and more exciting for a lot more people. I know I'm going to get shot down for why it can't be done but what the heck, might as well think big.
  22. 3M Plastic Emblem and Trim Adhesive from the local auto parts store. It will take a day to develop some strength, then a week or so to fully set. Then it will be permanent. It is like a high performance contact cement. It may be more than we need for model cars but it has a lot of other uses.
  23. So my son is away at college and getting used to dorm life. I go down to visit. He says, "I found this really cool band. Have you heard of Pink Floyd?"
  24. I could go for a Pink Floyd channel on XM...
