Received this email from Gooche Decals yesterday about the "MYSTERY" AMT 32 Ford decals. "It is right from the kit. I don't alter them for accuracy of restoring a kit. I believe it's from the original 32 Ford Roadster" I did place an order for 6 different decal sheets, can't wait to get them and get back to building again..

Of the actors that were credited in appearing in all 158 episodes only Dick Van Dyke and Larry Matthews (Richie Petrie ) are still living. Carl Reiner made over 30 appearances and is still with us at age 95. Dick Van Dye turned 92 last month. RIP Jerry

Hard to believe it has been over three years since I updated this build. I decided to get back on it after clearing my work area and got all the parts together. Here's how it sits as of today. After two failed attempts of modifying a firewall I'm getting close with this one. I didn't bother to post the mock up pictures I just took. After looking at them I could see I need to trim the firewall some more to get the front of the body down a little more. I'll get the firewall reworked and hopefully I can shoot some primer on it and the hood on Tuesday.I do my painting outdoors and it's supposed to go into the 50's after days of just reaching 30 degrees. I also still need to modify the headlight bar . I want to get this one done before I get to deep into another project. I've put away my Aurora T Jets for awhile so it's back to building models again.

WOW!! The record player is a great feature.

Thanks everyone for your input. The paid account seems the way to go.

Same problem here with Photobucket. Took forever to load and "lost" pictures I loaded.

Looks like their ad copy checker made an error Kit #1201 61 Ford station wagon on the first page sure looks like a 60 to me.

Wanted to find out how satisfied you are with you Fotki account. Any advantages of the Premium versus free account. I'll probably only be loading about 500 to 800 pictures Can you do sub folders with a free account Thanks

Forgot to add that they need to tool up a Hydramatic transmission and a B& M shifter for it.Most of the Jr Stock sedan delivery's that ran in the automatic classes used them until the NHRA outlawed them. The kit bashing possibilities with the Revell 56 & 57 Chevy sedans would be a no brainer. The Yoo Hoo Too would be the perfect car for Revell to do the tooling research on. Wayne Jesel built it to recreate his original car. There is more of he story about the build on his Facebook page.

Good point about the decals perhaps being a composite. I'll have to send them an email and inquire about that.

Mike, the decals I posted are different from kit # 132. I thought the same as you did but the decal I posted has the numbers as 71 A/M not as 17 A/M. They also have different graphics than the ones from kit # 132 The decal sheet I originally posted isrnot an original .It is reproduced by Gooche Decals and was taken from the Drastic Plastics Fotki page so I do not have the back view of them Here are the decals from kit # 132

Trying to find out the kit number for these decals which are supposed to be for an AMT 32 Ford. Not sure if they were for a coupe, roadster or ? Thanks in advance

Thanks

Great topic with some great ads. Sure takes me back in time! unclescott58, you mentioned you had another thread with vintage ads. I did a search and could not find it. Do you have a link to it?

Thanks TooOld. I've bookmarked it forfuture reference

I need the link for the pages of photos of the decals by Gooch on the Drastic Plastic Fotki pages. I've tried to find them by numerous searches and have had no luck so far. I want to contact Nikki Gooch about ordering some decals and want to send her images of what i would like to order. Thanks

1962 Ford Custom 2 door post sedan with a 223 6 cylinder and a 292 V8 with automatic and 3 speed standard transmission options Would make a great Fire Chief and/or Police car as many inner city police cars used a 6 cylinder versus the V8 for city driving. It could later be issued with a 406 with 3 2's and with a 4 speed.and automatic transmission with cheater slicks and 62 era tach, gauges and decals for an A/stock drag car. If the tooling was done properly so the 406 and chassis could be used a 62 Galaxie hardtop could be done using some of the sedan tooling. And how about a 55, 56, or 57 Chevy sedan delivery? Make a stock version with a six and V8 option again with an automatic or a 3 speed. Would be great as a light commercial vehicle, utility company and /or police or fire department vehicle. Next upgrade would be to add some Stahl headers, traction bars, ball joint spacers ,wide and narrow steelies and wide and narrow Cragars or Keystones. along with cheater slicks. Some 60's era correct gauges, tach and decals and we have a Junior Stocker

I've been wondering about that also. It appears to be two different racks of test shots unless they moved just one rack for the pictures. The pallet racks in the background appear to be different colors and it appears the one lower bar is not completely filled with hangers.

The following is from the Questions and Answers from the link I posted in my previous post. Larry C says: July 29, 2014 at 11:23 am It is great to see some of the old kits being re-issued. Any chance for a re-issue of Dukes of hazzard, Cooter’s tow truck? Reply JohnG says: July 31, 2014 at 7:41 pm It’s not beyond the realm of possibility at some point, but the tooling was changed. We’d have to piece it back together. - See more at: http://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/2224-whats-a-hanger-shot/#comment-13806 If we let Round 2 know there is an interest in certain kits perhaps they will realize the investment in time and restoration may pay off for them.

Perhaps some of the missing parts or tool components for requested kits will show up when they complete their inventory of the "hanger shots".

How about the Cooter's tow truck? It doesn't have to have the DOH decals or liscensing, perhaps some generic service station and body shop decals. If they still have the licensing for Texaco do it as a service truck for a Texaco station. And make sure it has all the accessories as they were back in the day.
