I just received my order from Speed City Resin. The service was outstanding and the product, the 65 Plymouth altered wheel base body, chassis, interior tub etc. is of very high quality casting. It was relatively flash free, or very thin. The parts fit together well. and the resin looks like styrene. I have several other resin castings from other casters that do not even compare. I highly recomend this product. thanks Steve Prideaux

AMT Corvette 'Sock it to Me' ?
Steve Prideaux replied to CEKPETHO BCE's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The 1961 Corvette, was the last, to have wide whitewall tires. In 1962 the whitewall from the factory, was 1 inch to 1 1/14 inch wide. Steve Prideaux -
Mark, Very nice build, It still looks great. Steve Prideaux

I would like to see decals for several of the later versions of the "Shake Rattle and Run" 57 Chevy from the Chicago area in the 60's and 70's Steve Prideaux

Fremont Racing, did not send any molds or masters or decal art to Reliable Resin, Joe returned many of the masters, to the original makers. He still has some of the old molds that did not wear out. A large amount of the decal art was lost to a computer crash a year or so ago. I talked to him this last week and he said that his Alps printer is no longer working. He did indeed make some great products. Steve Prideaux

Thanks for the comments. JC. The rear wheel flares, are from the Monogram/Revell BF Goodrich Corvette. The wheels are from the front of the Willy Borsch Fuel altered. The wheels, are available from Slixx under Competition Resin-wheels, for $1.00 per pair.I am not sure what kit the tires came from. thanks for your interest. Steve Prideaux Thanks for the comments.

Cobra Hauler.
Steve Prideaux replied to Steve Prideaux's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thank you all for the kind comments. The truck is a resin copy of the AMT 63 ford unibody. The Cobra, on the little trailer is an original issue, I found in my parents attic, I had many many years ago. The letter is a copy of the sale of the #1 Cobra Daytona coupe, for the price of, $5100.00 dollars, in 1969. The other paper, is a list of "used race cars" for sale, in January of 1966 by Shelby American. I believe they had to discount many of them to sell them. These were found in the book, Cobra Ferrari Wars. Thank you all for the kind words. Steve Prideaux -

AMT 1/25 Shelby Cobra 289 Roadster
Steve Prideaux replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I just picked up the new kit at the hobby shop. The body has been fixed at the front fenders and the new slicks are great. Mine came with the same Halibrand mags, that are in the new Avante reissue, not the kidney bean mags from the original release Cobra. I was hoping for the original type wheels. The rest of the kit is nuce. Steve Prideaux -

AMT Shelby USRRC Cobra Update 5/23
Steve Prideaux replied to torinobradley's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Andy, Thank you, for the information on the carb tubes. I will try and find them. I am using the Monogram Cobra, three will be 427's and three will be 289's. I filled in the exhaust holes on the 289's and am using several different types of wheels. I am not sure if they will fit in any sanctioning body's rules. I had seen a picture of several early cobras on a car hauler, at a race track. That was my insperation. I am using the Ford cabover, with a sleeper and a modified AMT car hauler trailer. I am not very good at down loading pictures, for a build thread. Thank you again, for the information. Steve Prideaux -
