  1. WOW!!! I just looked in my 66 Barracuda and there is a radio but there are NO CUP HOLDERS . How do they expect me to drive it ??
  2. I find always find something on every model I build that didn't go well. For me I enjoy challenging myself to improve on my builds and to try something I haven't attempted before. Occasionally I build a simple out of the box kit just to break things up some. I find this enjoyable. If I don't think up a solution to a problem while I'm trying to get to sleep then I need a bigger challenge. (That's where I figure out how to over come a problem most of the time)
  3. Actually I believe M is a model
  4. Maybe the box is full of 22lr ammo?
  5. Great pic Greg , I like the way the fender braces are left on to mount the headlights. If I had a bigger pic I would use it as my wallpaper. I will use it on my Modelers F/B header next time I update it, Thanks for posting it.
  6. Happy Dads day t all my fellow Dads out there in Car land
  7. Looks like it's from the AMT Street Machines 3 car set
  8. Wifey came back from another thrift store visit and brought me a AMT display case box. Inside was the display case and inside the case was this. Not sure what to do with it since I don't build Chevys , maybe save the wheels for a future project. Heck for $3 can't complain.
  9. I'm holding out for the "Larry, Darrell and Daryl" Gremlin
  10. Well the first pic is something like what I was considering. The triangle shaped headlight would look good on a 34 where the grill is angled back, but it does give me some ideas to kick around. The grill/lights on the sedan look like an Edsel was some how involved in the process. Thanks for the response and the ideas.
  11. My current build is full fendered 32 3 window. I am putting in a more modern engine and updating the front & rear suspension. I would like to do something different with the headlights. Something other than the standard round ones. My first thoughts on the tail lights is have red lens cut into the body, maybe all the way across or individual lens cut into the fenders. My google search did not come up with anything for me. Thought I would ask you fine out of the box builders for idea Thanks Jon
  12. I built the High Boy version and also cemented the inner fenders to paint when I painted the body only to discover that it was near impossible to put the interior tub in place. I had to cut the glue out and then re-glue after the tub was installed. Other than that it seemed to fit down alright.
  13. O, But they are not the same year so how can you fairly compare them ? (insert "roll eyes" here)
  14. G , I can't decide......OH yeah...none of the above
  15. Since the OP poll did not state whether it was for a 28,29,30, 31 or 32 or even a being a Ford , only the style of build. At what point was it change to 30/31 only ? Did the 30/31 A lovers take over this thread ? I what would be the advantage of putting the frame upside down ?
  16. I like E, would change out the wheels and go with chrome reverse with baby moons. Just noticed on A the horns (?) on front of the frame curve upwards instead of down.
  17. Like Fonzie says "AYYY"
  18. The last thing to do was the windshield but I couldn't decide on how to do it. Full, half, leaned back or straight? Then I decided I liked the look of none at all. Did some research and found out that no windshield was not uncommon in the 50's. So left it off. Thanks for all the nice comments
