  1. I use weld on 3 to clean hard brushes greg
  2. Got this from a friend, Plane crashed causing crack on starboard wing and the front tube taking a chunk out of the nose. Took a piece of mahogany and spliced it in and reshaped the nose, gotten this far with the putty on it, The base was also damaged and the was fixed with longer screws greg
  3. You forgot the best smile greg
  4. If I may throw my two cents in, I would put the chyrsler emblem in the lower grille and needs some round bumperettes greg
  5. Here is a thought, A fellow modeler that I know has this philosophy: Buy three, one to build, one to hoard and one to speculate. greg
  6. Chrysler workers years ago had a bumper sticker that said. "I buy what I build" with a little xacto art work I changed mine to "I build what I buy" and stuck it on one of my boxes I used for transporting good to toy shows. greg
  7. As always amazing, Did you ever think that he reversed the pictures of the rear end just to make you rework your model? greg
  8. I'm puzzled, not by the model but another little customizing trend, If you look at the side of the model the chrome door handle catches your eye. What ever happened to solenoid door openers especially with the new remote systems available today. Recently when I was selling some of my collection at a show I got hassled because I shaved the door handles off a lot of my 60's & 70's models I had. That was the trend back then and I think it would make any retro custom better Nice Riv, not a big wheel fan, Never rode in a car with big wheels and don't know how hard of a ride it would be but just reminds me of how hard a ride it was in my red wagon with solid tires when I was a kid. greg
  9. I have heard of freezing water in the tubing and bending it, another one was filling with sand. I use plastic rod in tubing to bend it greg
  10. Nice to see it again, People you do not have any idea what Charlie's models are like until you see them in person. He makes the Faberge Eggs of fire models. greg
  11. Here is my replica collection. The Chevelle is the Revell 67 but my mom had a 66 Malibu with Aztec bronze color. The Ramcharger was made out of the MPC pick up and the AMT blazer. The Z 28 is a combination of AMT and MPC Camaros to get the right pieces. The Jeep is MPC OOB with moons and antenna added Working on 66 Chevelle using clip from ElCamino, 1950 Olds fastback (dad's work car) greg
  12. Have been a pin vise user for years, Just got the MicroMart that has a spriral system that works super #60348 which is on sale now Learned my lesson very early with Dremel, How did you chick up a small drill bit in the Dremel?
  13. Tamiya clear green is useful for making the early tinited windshield with the green at the top only ( air brush ) I use Future on my windshield to give them a thinner appearance greg
  14. Thanks for the info Art, An interesting side bar was the sale of a GT 40 at Barrett and the ding bat announcer stated it has the 'bundle of snakes' exhaust which were on the DOHC not the regular V8s the tuned pipes did converge at collector boxes like The DOHC but they were not the bundle 'bundle' greg
  15. That was a mini pod that held what I recovered of my collection from a house fire five years ago greg
  16. Isn't it interesting that engines now have the same concepts for turbo and pollution regulations that the DOHC ford had greg
  17. The AMT indy lotus had both OHC and regular V8s greg
  18. I agree with Joe very nice build greg
  19. The closest to a Motrac speaker is the speaker from the MPC force 440 back seat package. Here it is on one of my pumpers greg
  20. nice, Is that metallic black? suggest that you reverse the shifter and face it forward as the 427 placed the shifter boot at the hip of the seat. greg
  21. I got to see and touch a virgin space station kit at a toy show two years ago, price was, well out of this earth! I wonder if it was lost when these got lost? Story goes that the ship sunk bringing the molds back from Brazil greg
  22. I hope you realize you are mixing Hubley 1/24 scale and AMT 1/25th scale so both might be off, On the rear roll pand chrome you might find evergreen ribbed siding with right size ribbing to make a piece They are fun models, awaiting your finish greg
