  1. Building a T.R.O.G. car where can I find a good pre-wired distributer for a 4 Banger ? Thanks
  2. First there are "Deuce's" and then there is Model A's that want to be "Deuce's"
  3. I would have to go with the "32". It has it's own nickname "The Deuce" . The Model A, just gets called "The A" (Maybe)
  4. Thanks for the replies . Looks like I will be building a 4 Banger Thanks Again
  5. One of the club ,members maybe starting up a T.R.O.G build off. I never build 4 cylinder engines but thought about it for this one. The AMT 27 Model T kit comes with a 4 Banger wit an overhead valve conversion. Is this period correct for T.R.O.G. or did it come about in later years ?
  6. I think the OP was asking for experience's and user input as well as product information
  7. Thanks. I found this. Looks close just have to darken the blue and add some pink spots here and there. Looks better
  8. I am not sure if I could find any lace material that work for a smaller scale. The idea of making decals sounds very doable. I haven't found any patterns real close to the photo but I found several that will work. Thanks for the idea
  9. I am thinking about building the Testers Coupe Napoleon and would like to get as accurate as I can. The kit calls for the rear interior to be black but from what I can find online it had a patterned interior . Is there a good way to replicate it or should I stick to black ?
  10. From the show , looks to be black with black wall tires
  11. I found a couple promos but my pockets aren't that deep. Not sure how well the Comp Resins would convert to a factory car. I may do some comparison between the 66 and the 67 the rear body lines are similar.
  12. I would like to build a replica of my cousins 66 Mercury Comet Cyclone . Is this doable ? All I can find is a 65 and a 67, both are a ways from a 66. Thanks for advice and or info
  13. Keep in mind that you cannot wet sand acrylic paint or Future .
  14. I watched his show for awhile , and classify it as an oddity , It seems like he his biggest fan, maybe only fan
  15. Go to the web site there are lots of informative videos, Also you can go to youtube and to look for videos
  16. I used Createx / AutoAir Colors . I like the application but had a hard time getting a good clear due the roughness of the surface. I started off with Future but that seemed to turn out to thick. I have some Wicked colors but have never tried it. What I like about it is you can lay down a coat and dry it with a hair dryer and do the next coat shortly there after. And it is not effected by humidity after all you can thin it with water.
  17. Anybody have any experiences with any of the Badger paint lines ? They have some primers made especially to smooth out the surfaces of 3D printed parts , I thought this may work well for Resin bodies with surfaces that were not real smoot.
  18. I was wondering that also
  19. Yes that was the kit most likely the same body used in the Orange Crate Thanks
  20. These were in the Revell Orange Crate Kit, I know I have seen them in another kit but can't remember which one, Was thinking it might have been a 32 Sedan kit ?
  21. Thanks Snake, Right you are.
  22. On my FB Model page I change out the header photo often. I started going thru the list of AMBR cars. One of my posters asked that same question. When I post a new picture I try and research the cars to see if I can find where they were today. Some I could find no trace , a few I found in Museums and Car collections. Most notable find was a one (don't remember which one) that I found in Richard Rawlings collection. He had taken it to Japan along with some other cars for auction. I asked Richard if he had sold it and told him "American Hot Rods need to stay in the U.S,A.. He actually got back to me and said it was still in his collection.
