  1. As far as the body is concerned the only difference I see is the hood scoop. There are different engine/tranny options on them thou.
  2. The Deuce kit came with a set . Found an original issue kit at a Goodwill. Most of the car was gone but still had some parts, decals and instructions. Used the fenders on a project
  3. I like the cycle fender look, Wish an after market person would make some.
  4. The 66 had a smoother front fender than the 66/64 which had a bump (?) in the front. The tail lights were also different Also a bumpered area where the back bumpers wrap around This is a 65
  5. Trying to duplicate the 273 in my 1:1 66 Barracuda. So far I plan to use the AMT Duster 340 . Sound about right ?
  6. While we are looking at all the cool Hot Rod pics we can all sing along CRUISIN’ IN A WINTER WONDERLAND © Ronald L. Cherry & Kelly Cherry 2005 Sidepipes roar, are you listnin’? In the lane, slicks are spinnin’, Ya better hang tight, The rear end is light, Cruisin’ in a Winter Wonderland. Gone away is our traction; Better have fast reaction. Black ice everywhere, as we say a prayer, Spin-outs in a Winter Wonderland. By the K-Mart we can do a brodie, And hope there is no Chippy hangin’ round. He’ll say, “Are you crazy?” We’ll say, “No, man! ‘Cuz we’re just Angels out upon the town.” Later we’ll do a burn out, So tonight there’ll be no doubt, We’ll face unafraid the ticket he gave. Busted in a Winter Wonderland. Busted in a Winter Wonderland. Cruisin’ —— in a Winter —— Wonderland.
  7. These little holes are a good example of "a feature built into a product so that it can handle unusual or unexpected situations." We don't think about or see these situations in the normal use of the product. For example, if you look at the sheet metal under the hood of your car, you will see little bends in it. Those bends are placed there so that in an accident the front of the car will fold like an accordion and absorb the impact. The bends don't do anything unless a crash occurs, and then they are very important. With a can of Pam, the lid fits very tightly so that oil won't ooze from the nozzle down the side of the can and onto your shelf. If the manufacturer puts the caps on the cans in New Jersey and then ships the cans to Denver (the "Mile-High City"), a funny thing happens -- the air pressure inside the lid pops the lid right off. So the poor stock boy at the grocery store has to put the lids back on 30 cans before he can put them on the shelf. What a pain! When the lid was put on the can in New Jersey, the air inside the lid had a certain pressure (the same pressure as the air outside the lid). The outside air pressure in Denver is lower than the air pressure in New Jersey (pressure decreases as elevation increases), so when the can arrives in Denver, the pressure outside the lid is lower than the pressure inside the lid. With this imbalance, the air inside the lid tries to expand and ends up popping the lid off. By putting a small hole in the lid, the air can exit through the hole, and the lids stay on during shipping! The real question is why some caps don't have a pin hole ?
  8. Here is another one that does some in smaller size. (ignore the music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9yvE6MQ5Pw
  9. Found a video (on the page with this one) that has a kit you can buy to do model sized stuff . Consists of pre-designed film print (lots of designs) and 4 or 5 cans for the application but I can't seem to find any info on cost. They do have a FB page but seem to be unresponsive
  10. You think this could be done in 1/24th ?
  11. I remember them well. Even remember buying some Candy Colors in them.
  12. I had one and they are really not "Special" at all. There seems to be an Iltalian Fiat 500 in the mix with the french cars
  13. I use Paint program that comes with Windows
  14. Thank you for your response to my original question. Answers gave me plenty of information on the CARS that I asked about. The conversation did stray sum but overall not to bad Thanks Again Papa Jon
  15. Made me tear up some my ownself .
  16. I have a Revell Motocraft Thunderbird I think is a Pro Stock .Would maybe be a good starting spot
  17. I have been watching the show Street Outlaws and have been considering building something in the style that they drive. Is there a specific type of car or something close to the Super Stock or Pro Mod class or are they just a hodge podge of setups. Might be a good use of some my NASCAR parts. I did a site search and it seems not very many here are that fond of the show but my question is about the cars not if you like the show or not. So please keep your responses relevant to the question. Thank You
  18. Nice work, I like it
  19. Thanks. puts it out of my budget
