  1. Sweet photo! From what I've read in British car magazines, they're the equivalent of the '57 Chevy for collectible/nostalgia value in England.
  2. Wish I'd thought of that sooner - could have used it to downgrade the Revell Dodge Magnum kit from an R/T to an SXT like the one I had.
  3. Hi Patrick, There really isn't enough left to work with, I don't think - I cut the hood out for another forum member a while back (Note to self: send him a PM). I still want to make molds for the side trim. I do have a rear bumper I can spare if it will help - and test shots of some taillights in resin. Do you have a '58 you're trying to save?
  4. If you want to try fixing the missing ridge in the '64 hood, Gary, you can have the one in my photo - PM me if so.
  5. You may want to use the '65 hood - AMT goofed on the '64 and left out the ridge in the center of the depression; they fixed it in '65.
  6. Has anyone had this problem: When using this pen to black out grilles, the ink beads up and pulls away from the edges of the slot you're trying to fill?
  7. Too easy. Now to find a distressed Danbury '48 Buick I can build up as Jan and Dean's "Schlock Rod"...
  8. Just so you know not all kids do it, my young nephew just recently pulled the loud exhaust off his Golf and replaced it with a quieter (but still performance) system. The PO had installed the loud setup along with a bunch of Dynamat to try to kill the noise (somewhat) but it was still too loud inside the car, let alone outside.
  9. Thanks Greg, this was helpful - I've been stuck lately on my 1/24 T-bird wire wheel project because the knockoff hubs have been giving me trouble; this gives me another way to try it.
  10. I've been casting up wheelcovers lately based on the Craftsman wheel with the Ford lettering; got all or most of the Styline stuff in my parts pile - really want to build a custom now. Maybe with a Hemi from the Predicta or something else unusual... Anyone have the scoopless hood?
  11. That's fine just so long as they don't mold them in Metalflake again...
  12. Well, look at it this way - if Round2 buys Revell, then very soon Chad will be showing us the reissues of the '62 Plymouth and '62 Chrysler convertible!
  13. Great to see a full kustom Rambler! Nice smooth job.
  14. It's that time again... With apologies to O. Winston Link: OK, one more.
  15. Band-aids: Battle ribbons for the modeler!
  16. Terrific job, JC - excellent build thread too.
  17. Back in the early '70s, Ira Dahm from Car Model took that trailer and kitbashed it into a three-wheel chopper - it was called the "Candy Chop". http://www.showrods.com/gallery_pages/candy_chop.html Waste not, want not!
  18. Problem solved: Completed listing, but they should be relisting it soon: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-FORD-THUNDERBIRD-HARDTOP-BODY-1-25-SCALE-RESIN-/382416096740?hash=item5909c68de4%3Ag%3AucwAAOSw~gRVla3W&nma=true&si=toZlm1ZWcfOhNUE1yc78Lcxo8yk%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
