Kookies Tee in a plastic kit ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
You may be right about it being "Inspired By". Norm did lengthen the frame in front of the cowl 5 inches. It's original name was "The Lightning Bug" -

Looks nice, It looks like the headers have one to many pipes. -
Kookies Tee in a plastic kit ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have been gathering the parts to build it. Starting off with the Monogram T Street Rod w/Trailer for body that will need some modification to look like the shortened touring body.. The bed is a model A bed , the Revell parts pack Caddy engine will be used. I still need to find the right frame that will need to be modified also. I have the Big & Little Skinnies Wide Whitewalls with Steel wheels and Baby Moon hubcaps from R&M. The exhaust pipes may be a challenge. I will have to do some tube bending. I also will be building two versions of Tweedy Pie. The original Bob Johnston version with the flathead and a later Roth version. -
Now I know where they went!
Jon Haigwood replied to Oldcarfan27's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
As I remember, back in the y they would "glass in" the headlights. As in move the headlights to the grille and glass in the headlight covers. I know of one 64 that had the headlights glassed in, fenders flared, 427 hood scoop and a gold flake paint job. (which I need to duplicate for a friend). Trying to find pics of the headlights -

Jon Haigwood replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I plan on using this kit for the starting point of my "Kookie T" build even comes with a skull shift knob. -
I bought these, Can order in different colors, already has threaded mounting hole. Comes in 4mm and 5mm. I got the 4mm. They are almost big for scale but they will work ok for what I need. Shipping was fairly fast to Oregon https://www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-16g-14g-4mm-5mm-Threaded-U-V-Dice-Replacement-Specify-Color-Size/281249398282?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

Walmart Prices ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Even with third party venders , $145 for a Dragula kit is over the top. I wonder how many they sell ? -
Walmart Prices ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
No kits in our stores. Just referring to online prices. Even with third party sales it seems way overpriced -
I bought my first bottle from him at a NNL show/swap meet here in Portland but have talked via email about a custom color so sometime in the future I will be getting one shipped. That was good shipping time to Georgia.

Am out of the loop on model prices or is Walmart somewhat on the high side ? https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=0&page=2&ps=40&query=model+car+kits&typeahead=model#searchProductResult

Steering gear box ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I just noticed several kits that were lacking steering boxes. The column would be easy enough to scratch build. None of my 64 Mopars have one amd some of the hot rods and others are lacking. As far as the decals I thought I would see if any aftermarket venders might carry them. I have a set from the Tweedy Pie II kit and I am not sure if they will be usable. If Not I will certainly be posting i the wanted section. -
Jon Seems a lot of kits do not include a steering box and column, I was wondering if any resin casters carried them ? I have seen master cylinders and other underhood items available but no steering boxes. (yes I did do a search first) 'Also looking for Tweedy Pie Decals

Flat Head finned head ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Makes a big difference with the black wash. I will be de-chroming them and painting them yellow. I will use the entire engine out of the 40 Ford kit. -
