Now if they add the hemi, slant six, rear seat lower block off and the other parts from the original I'll buy a few.

From my PB account I go to the album and picture I want. I then go to the right side of the page where it says share this photo. I then left click the box next to IMG. It copies it automatically and then I paste it in my message.

Lets see if this works.

I just looked over the instructions on the drastic plastics instructions page. It appears to me that the hood can only be used without the stacks. These are probably the original instructions where all the assembly steps are in text. I didn't notice anywhere that states not to use the stacks with the hood. If you look at the pics of the completed model it would appear that the hood wouldn't fit properly with the stacks. http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1931-1940/amt-32-ford-victori1/?view=roll#1

We have had some interest in getting a group together with about 6 modelers so far. PM me. for more info.

Mike, glad you did some business there. Ernie was upset about the poor turnout of vendors and spectators. Next show/swap will be at his slot car drag strip in Troutman until we can get the show to grow. He may do one in March at his drag slot car location. I'll keep you up to date on date and so on. Whoops, double post.

See you there!!!

With 75% plus humidity here in NC I haven't been able to get much paint on my build either. Most of the parts have been prepped for paint and some are in primer.

I picked up a bottle of Elmer's clear school glue today. Has anyone used it for flocking and did you thin it ?

Welcome to the forum. I'm originally from Massapequa, been in NC since '93 except for a few years between 2007 and 2011. Look into the LIARS Model Club on the island. They have a show/swap meet in November at the Freeport Civic Center in Freeport.

I didn't mention a wagon as you would think Revell would do one as an obvious follow up to an El Camino and sedan delivery kit Dog dish caps, a base 283, a six , a powerglide and a 3 speed and maybe a 4 speed. Not sure if the six and sb bell housings were the same in 1960 as they were for later sixes and sb's. The 348 could be used from the Impala in one version of the El Camino or just kit bashed from a 60 Impala. Two dashes, one with radio heater controls and one with correct radio/heater delete plates. Perhaps two columns, one with shift lever for 3 on the tree or just one easily modified for a floor shift. Of course two sets of pedals for either an automatic or stick setup .Mix up the power train options, dog dishes, wheel covers and custom items between the three kits if need be to increase sales.

Shouldn't be to hard for Revell to do from their 60 Impala tooling. Then do the last year available from Chevy, a stock body 60 sedan delivery. Tool up a six cylinder for it to make it more desirable to builders. Lots of variations are possible. Stock, mild custom, drag, municipality, commercial and............

There are a few of us trying to get a modelers group together in the Mooresville ,NC area. It will not be a club, just a group of modelers getting together to enjoy models, share techniques, trade and so on. We plan on getting together monthly starting in October on either a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday night from 7PM until about 10PM. We will be meeting at Fast Trax Slot Car Dragway in Troutman, NC which is just north of Mooresville. Most likely continue year round if there is enough interest to continue during the summer months. If anyone is interested please respond here or PM me for more info.

I was talking with a gentleman I met at the Goodguys in Charlotte last year. During the conversation I mentioned to the friend I was at the show with that I need to go to the model display. The other fellow mentions he is a closet model builder. He took out his cell phone and pulled up a picture of his model building area. It was in a small coat/clothes closet t!!!

Tom, fantastic pics. I had my camera with me but when I saw you taking pics I didn't bother to take any.

At the CKM sow in Clemmons yesterday picked up a 75 Gremlin, 40 Ford SD, and an AMT 67 Mustang FB. The 40 and 67 were open and complete, $18.00 for the pair. The 40 and 67 will be sacrificed for parts, Gremlin for the group build. Did a trade for the Gremlin

I worked for a CP dealer from late 71 through mid 73. I ordered a 73 340 Duster in late May of 72.Car was delivered to the dealer August28th, I took it home on the 31st. It was one of the first 73's to be titled in NY for the first year of NYS going to titles. You can see the tail end of it in my avatar. 340, 4 speed, 3:23 Sure Grip, power discs, honey gold/parchment bench w/ rubber mats, AM/FM, Tahitian Gold Metalic w/ stripe delete.Your typical "plain brown wrapper" sleeper. In mid September the dealer received another 340 Duster exactly as mine but with white 340 stripes. The dealer hadn't ordered it and they were stuck with it. May 23rd of 74 I get hit head on by a drunk driver, 3/4 LF hit and my 340 is totaled. Engine shoved back over a foot, air cleaner ripped off and all the acid from the broken battery wound up in the engine. Insurance company wanted to fix it for $1,400 . I had a friend who was an independent adjuster look at it and he estimated close to $2,800 with an engine rebuild. The dealer I had worked for still had the non ordered 73 in their storage lot. Got a price to buy it for about $2,600 out the door. I made the mistake of not leaving a small deposit on it. Settled with the insurance company for $2,400 after deductible and me buying back the wreck. Got my check mid July and paid off the balance of my loan. I was on the fence about buying the duplicate since the time frame was after the gas shortage. I waited about a week to long and it had been sold. Lessons learned!!!!

Welcome to the forum. Forum rules and warning info can be found in the General section of the forum.

Travis, if you can make it to the Clemmons show stop by. If you want to get in early, before 8AM, let me know. call me at 704-431-6552

I hope they do a better job of packing the kits contents then they did for the last issue of this kit. The last issue by Okey was packed without regard to protecting the contents. I opened a sealed kit a few months ago and found the luggage rack broken and missing the tail lights.Granted there were a lot of parts included in the kit but the contents should have been packed a lot better.
