Hello all. Could use suggestions where to find better tires/ wheels for the Monogram 1:24th scale 1956 Chevy Belair.

Nah the 10 mile car ride ain't worth the $3.00. I'm good.

Hello all, hope everyone is well. I am going to attempt doing engine detailing for the first time. That being said I am looking to source a cordless drill. Can anyone recommend where I can purchase one? I have a pin vice but not completely satisfied with it. As always help/suggestions is most appreciated. Thank you. Jerry

The most disappointing thing is the Belair is 1:24 scale and is $12.99 whereas the flyer states 1:24th are $9.99.

Thank you. Now the trick is wait until Spring and decide on colors

That's the one that I got

I just went to the Ollies in Cherry Hill NJ and picked up the 1956 Chevy.

Hello all. Question for the builders. How easy is it to put a 454 from the AMT 1970 Chevelle SS into the AMT/ERTL 1970 Z28 which has a 350? Do I need to play plastic surgeon. I think since the 1970 Baldwin Motion Camaro has a 454 is the engine bay pretty identical?

Hey all. I have a nice old big 1/16th scale AMT 1957 TBird I got as a gift. Finally got around to starting her. Prepped the parts by washing in Dawn, and rinsing off. Let her dry. Laid down a nice coat of Tamiya White Fine Surface primer. Then used Rustoleum in a nice shade of a Mint Green. Then voila our old friend Crazing appeared. I know what I did wrong, I didn't allow enough time for proper drying of the primer. That being said what do I use for removal of the culprit?

Sorry clarifying Chevy engine Red

Hello all, Hope everyone is well. Can anyone advise what brand of spray paint is closest to Chevy Red. Thank you.

No it's a Model King (David Burket) reissue

Thinking for paint choices Maroon, or Racing Green for the Vette, Brown or Green for the Z28, and unsure about the Riviera. Gotta lot of time to accumulate the supplies for these builds.

Purchased at my Model Car Club meeting last night. AMT 1969 Riviera, AMT/ERTL 1970 1/2 Z28, and the MPC Streaker Vette. Fall/Winter is upon us here in NJ so will have to wait for Spring.

Thank you for the reply. Rattle cans are what I normally use. I've heard Tamiya TS 50 Mica Blue and TS 36 Fluorescent Red are a match(?)

I have the Revell 1998 Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo (the one in the tin) and have a couple of questions. What color/brands of paint do I use? Also what do I use to replicate the black bars on the windshiekd, and back window?

This what I want to more or less replicate. My 1967 Chevelle SS. So I guess it would be classified as a match racer. Someone suggested the Revell 1967 Camaro. However can’t find one reasonably priced.

Hello all hope everyone is well. I am contemplating on doing my AMT 1968 Camaro at a minimum as a street racer, or even more as a match racer, or pro stock. That being said I could use suggestions on then following: What frame/floor pan would I pirate to use for the Camaro? What aftermarket site(s) would I use to source the following- Rear tires, wheels. Front tires, wheels. Pro Stock type hood. Traction/ladder bars? Big block Chevy motor? Roll cage? For this I could just use a parts box NASACAR roll bar. I assume Slixx will have what I need in the way of decals for my project Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you

Thank you for the reply. One question. HPI guys did a Youtube video on this kit and the moderator said he used gel Superglue to fill in the taillight panel gaps. Any suggestions on a gel superglue?

So am i

Just picked up last night at Hobby Lobby. Going to paint her Testors Revving Red with a Diamond Dust undercoat. Have never built this kit in the past. Hopefully I can pull it off. Plan is a non Mach1 car. Could use tips from those who have built it.

Bill, Thank you for the reply. When you said you used Testors Red to make it stay in do you mean paint? Also Testors window make to wick into fill all the gaps. Do you mean Canopy cement?

Bill I’ll be watching yours. I am working on the newest version. A couple of questions which both pertain the back of the car. How easy is it to fit the back panel in? Also how should I attempt to do the trim around the taillights?
