Quick GMC

It looks like a nice build, but it's hard to see. The pictures are very blurry.

I do have the new Revell 37 Ford pickup. I hate the fenders though, maybe I'll hack them off and put it in there. I stole the flathead out of it to use in the 49 Ford.

I think it's called Hellaflush. They destroy the camber and they see how close they can get the wheel lip to the fender of the car. 99.9% of them I have seen are atrocious, because they are done on a budget. I would dare to call them the rat rod of the 21st century. When they are done well, they look nice, but you still have that horrible driveability/tire wear issue. This is what I usually see, but with horrible paint and cheap wheels https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1/s403x403/1743705_607595095980137_1100728101_n.jpg this is what you usually don't see, because not many guys do it right http://www.rallyxd.com/rallyxd/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/news-toyota-86-fr-s-scion-brz-stance-hella-flush-ce28-volk-rays-photochop.jpg I found someone who decided to do this http://i.imgur.com/TxnqdPS.jpg And this is what you get in Japan http://motormavens.com/emAlbum/albums/Antonio%20Alvendia/Random%20Dope/derek-kreindler.png

It does look good, but I lose interest when I am building more than one of the same model at the same time. Done. i never knew about the full editor thing. I should pay more attention. Thanks. Moebius Hudson That is a good idea. i don't have one of those kits yet.

This makes me want a creamsicle

I'm not a Mopar fan and I've never built a Mopar model, but this was too tempting. I bought the manifold, carbs, stacks and valve covers from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland today. Should be here within a few weeks. Second one from the left, with the black stacks It is made for the Hemi that comes in the new Revell 32 Ford. I have no idea what I am going to do with it. Model Car Garage has PE linkage that's awesome too, so it should look pretty killer when done. What should I put it in? Besides the 32 Ford. I don't have any cars. Maybe I can shoe horn it in a Shoebox Ford. Franken Ford. The Shoebox of Death Edit: Can a mod/admin fix my stupid title please.

I placed an order with RMM and Strada for some HRM parts. No luck on the tires yet, but hopefully Kevin at Strada can find our from HRM for me.

the basecoats need to be cleared.

That's what I have

That's great, thank you. I spoke with RMM today and he does not have any replacement tires for this car. He did refer me to HRM for the wheels and stuff I needed. I ended up ordering a bunch of Webers to try out for my Cobra project, as well as a few other things. I will contact Strada for the HRM parts.

Thank you. Do you happen know the type of tire, or approximate size the Grand Sport would have used? RMM has a list of tire types and sizes, but I have no idea what I am looking for.

Yes. My tires are warped and cupped and cannot be used. If I sanded the tread surface flat, I would lose a good 1/8" of tire or more. I have sent several emails to HRM with no response. I know he has health issues and a massive backlog of orders, and I've all but lost hope. That's why I am looking into RMM. I hear nothing but good things, but it's hard to find stuff with no website or catalog. I suppose I should just call. As far as the wheels, they are perfectly fine, but the spare wheel/tire/hold-down are molded together and I wanted to replace it with a proper piece. I was saying that if the new wheel tire for the psare was different than the kit wheels, then I would just buy a set of 5 wheels/tires so everything matched. The one thing I have noticed with everyone's builds of this kit is the stance and tire sidewall. This car sits really low in real life, and the kit sits high. I need to get this thing as low as I can, and those chunky tires don't help.

That turned out great. I am in the middle of this build right now, with the Hobby Design PE kit. I butchered this kit last time, so I'm hesitant to move forward.

The tires in the Grand Sport kit are unusable and I want to replace them. I also want to replace the spare tire/wheel that is molded in with the hold down. I don't know what those particular wheels and tires are. I have found a photo copied version of Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland's catalog, but there are no pictures. If I need to, i will just buy a new set of 5 wheels to fit their tires What tires would I be looking for? What wheels am I looking for? I'm sure it's a version of Halibrand?

On that Chevy I posted, I did use GM Blue engine enamel. I use it on a few engines, it dries pretty shiny. They have all the matched colors at the auto stores. i think I got mine at Napa.

I have NOT bought a model solely because of the box art. I am trying to get over that though. The Motor City Muscle box for the BOSS 429 makes me want to puke, but I like what's inside.

where did you get those valve covers?

this is the engine I am NOT using. It's for a 32 Ford project. I KNOW THE DISTRIBUTOR IS IN THE WRONG SPOT

A little more progress. I have never done anything like this before, so it iwll be slow going. I cut down the fron radiator support to line up with the back of the grill, so there wouldnt be a gap when the hood is off. I cut the cowl off and I will extend the hood, otherwise the Glidden internals wouldn't fit Some things that need trimming to fit properly

there are supposed to be errors. None of them have badges either. They don't pay for licensing.

Yep. We've been over this.

RB Motion makes actual spark plug boots. There is nothing else like it.

thank you for the compliments.

The rear hatch needs work to get it to sit right.

Thank you Hakan.
