    I've also found it at Dollar General stores but only in a 64oz jug for $3.00

    Stripping paint and chrome. 32oz bottle is $1.00 so a gallon would be $4.00 compared to Castrol Super Clean at $9.00 a gallon. Haven't used it myself yet but others on the forum have used it with good results.

    I've been following Roadrunner's WIP on his Willys and saw your post about your solution. I still have about an hour or more of removing flash and parting lines before I can do a mockup.

    It took about half an hour to clean up the flash and parting lines on the fender assembly. I've had Johan kits that weren't flashed over as bad as this kit.

    Same here. Got some primer on the body and color on some parts for the 61 Ranchero I'm building as a curbside. Also started prepping parts for an AMT 40 Willys coupe build. Stripped the chrome and started removing parting lines and flash. Still have quite a bit more to do on the flash removal.

    Got a few things during the week. The pickup kits from a trade with a friend. Dollar Tree purchases of LA Awesome and spoons for paint testing. HL for some metal flake blue for the AMT 40 Willys coupe gasser I just started to build. Lowes for some fine drywall sanding mesh. I use the fine mesh to speed up removal of body side trim. I also wrap a piece around a deep socket to smooth and round out wheel wells after they've been enlarged. The mesh is available in coarse, medium and fine.

    Thanks Brian, that is probably close to the time frame I was thinking of. Could be mid 90's or shortly after the Ramcharger kits first came out. Unfortunately I didn't get Car Modeler and my 90's early 2000's model mags are packed away and not handy.

    Not sure if I saw it posted on a forum, in Model Cars Magazine or the "other magazine", but there was a guide to building a car trailer from the sprue from the Lindberg Dodge 330 kits. Does anyone know where to find it? I already did the Google site search for MCM and the other magazine as outlined in the How do I search for answers already posted here thread, nothing. I'm going through my parts boxes as I try to get a little more organized. Ran across a box that had some sprue from the 330 kit and wanted to see if I had all the needed pieces for the trailer build. If I don't have all the pieces it goes in the trash. If someone can point me to the article and I have all the pieces I'll offer them to someone here as I'll never build a trailer from them. Thanks

    That's a also a possible solution. I'm vending at the MDA Roanoke VA show next month, will be on the lookout for a cheap PL 64 GTO while I'm there.

    Thanks, that was quick! I have to check my storage unit as I believe I have a 65 Fairlane that was a semi glue bomb and now will be restorable with this interior. Will probably use an AMT 65 GTO as a donor for the Tempest. Only have a painted body, un painted chassis and front grill/bumper and rear bumper for the Tempest. Need a grill divider and hood for the Tempest, going to see if the Polar Lights 64 GTO will also be able to be used as a donor. Thanks again.

    Can anyone ID this AMT dash and interior? It was in an AMT 64 Tempest body with an interior that I know is not correct for the Tempest. It fits perfectly in the interior and the interior is a perfect fit for the body. Checked the original instructions on the Drastic Plastics site and the dash and interior I have are different in design. Thanks

    When I saw it at the show it seemed to say "take me home with you" I also like original builds and it now has a home with my three other past swap meet finds, a 63 Ford F100, 63 Nova htp and 63 Nova wagon with trailer.

    Along with a few kits this followed me home from the Salisbury swap this past Saturday. Original screw bottom 61 Ranchero with a decent brush painted finish. It must have been fairly well taken care of as it didn't even need to be cleaned and the mirrors and bed rails survived intact. Going straight to the display case as is.

    Anyone from the forum going to this show? I'll be vending there with about 80 kits for sale. I will also be representing the Fast Trax Resin line of bodies at this show. Stop by and say Hi.

    Chris, I just asked a friend about this show after seeing your post. The show is still held at the same location at the Holiday Inn. It is being held this year on March 18th. I do not have any contact info.

    My haul yesterday from the Salisbury, NC swap. The AMT NASCAR kits are for the owner of the slot car track that I race at in Concord NC Finally found a Lindberg 34 Ford PU that was molded in white. The 32 Ford is an empty box in fair shape, couldn't pass it up for $2.00!
