    Nice glass case, In this economy keep an eye out for store closings as they will be selling the fixtures to gain some cash. Drug stores have fine pharmaceutical shelving that fit models well. I have acquired shelving from a drug store chain, WalMart, Bed Bath & Beyond,a gunsmith, and even a school library. Drug store shelving Display case when WalMart remodeled jewelry department. greg

    Nice looking project, Did you ever consider yellow and red rims instead of the gray and red? greg

    Looking good. You might want to scratch build a switch module that would go on top of the dash. A two way radio would be optional or a CB radio as around 59 2way radio was just getting around to being used. greg

    Your not going to believe this but I use windshield washer fluid shot through an air brush, then blow dry with air only out of brush. The cheaper the better for fluid as it's got less cleaner in it. greg

    Further information on the Z siren I now know where George Lukas got the Madolarian's face from.? greg

    Years ago Chrysler company had a bumper sticker for their workers that said 'I buy what I build'. I cut it up and made it say 'I build what I buy'. Had a hobby friend who had the mantra of buying three of the same kit. One to build, one to speculate, and one to hoard and did he hoard, left his family a nightmare. I've always said a bag of modeling clay is just that until the artist changes it into a piece of art. Build what you buy that's what the hobby is about. greg

    I finally found the real thing: Federal model Z siren: From F.F. Hicks collection greg

    Thanks for the info. I'll stick to chopping my Coca-Cola van apart. greg

    I need some information: greg

    Nice job. How long did it take you to remove the lower trim off the doors? Nice push bumper. Never understood why Lindberg never deleted the trim on the cop car model. greg

    Thank you for your service to the Country, Nice work on the Holmes. Years ago Phil Jensen did a 'how to' using parts from the AMT wrecker. I built mine years ago. Have you looked for a broken First Gear that might have been useful? greg

    So here are the cots. I don't have the latest from the 59 Caddy. greg

    My Hades on earth as a young builder: Slammed the Ford pick up to the floor, hated the 57 Chevy with all the opening features. Watched the wheels melt into the tires. greg

    Nice build. I like multi colored semis. greg

    The cot from the van is worse than the cot you have. The casted cot looks like mismatched parts off of the JoHan cot. If I'm up to it I'll post photos of the cots later. greg

    The only ambulance gurneys or cots that have kit origins are: AMT Chevy rescue van JoHan Cadillac ambulance MPC 1/20th scale Ford Van and now the AMT re pop 1959 Cadillac greg

    I would suggest contacting the Indianapolis Speedway Museum. The first race car with a rear view mirror. greg
  20. GLMFAA1
    Isn't that an MPC Firebird? greg

    Now there is another interesting question. What was the last aluminum car that AMT made. I would conjecture that it was in the mid 50's as I believe the first plastic kits were 1958. I don't know when they switched to plastic promotionals. greg

    To have your most desirable model kit you've wanted in front of you and..................................... 1 You are unable to get box open 2 You have no glue,paint, or exacto knife. 3 Parts won't come off the trees 4 Loose parts fall further in the abyss 5 Directions are for another kit 6 Directions are in foreign language. add your own dilemma greg
  23. GLMFAA1
    Very nice. greg
  24. GLMFAA1
    As I understand your question you mean the last production at Troy Michigan plant before being sold to Lindsey/Matchbox. Good question. greg.

    In regard to the entertainment center in the El Camino. It was in the original 3n1 kit and the 1997 release. It's disgusting that scoundrels are re boxing new released parts in old boxes and passing them off as original. I saw this in the EBay listings for the AMT kits. greg
