  1. I agree, Chrysler dropped the ball with the 4 door
  2. And just because they are asking a $ on ebay doesn't mean they are getting it.
  3. Definitely liking the Halibrand combo on the 40 Coupe . Looks spot on
  4. These look good but for my own personal taste I would prefer less wheel and more tire like the one in the 1:1 picture, more of a "Fat" tire look any thoughts on cheater slicks ? There used to be some available but I haven't seen any lately
  5. Yeah I would like to see a SS/RS grille option so I could build a copy of the 1:1 I ownwd back in the day
  6. I didn't come from a big money family. Any car I bought I bought with my money. The first drivable car I had was Yellow 51 Plymouth wagon that had only been rolled once. I got me about 10 miles before it threw a rod. It then became a donor car for my next set of wheels, a 49 Plymouth 2dr that had hit a power pole. I bought that for $45. From here the list goes on and on.
  7. The last time I bought a lot of models was around 1995. I had about 150 stashed in the attic. Now that I am back to building and the rate I am going at it they should last me until I'm over 100yrs old.I have sold kits and priced them at $10-$15, I almost felt bad about charging that price (about what I paid for them) until I went to a hobby shop and priced them. I still have about 40 left and I have bought a few more but have a tough time paying over $20. I tried trading but after realizing I was trading a $10 model and paying $10 shipping I might as well just buy the kit I want. I am trying to set up a Facebook page for people in my area to trade and sell kits and not have to deal with shipping.
  8. If you compare it to the rise in cost of everything else it's not a bad deal.
  9. that's just to fill the tank
  10. now days the consider AMC's as Mopar I guess they need a home somewhere
  11. like they say anybody can make a Chevy engine fast but it takes talent and skill to make a Ford engine fast
  12. It's all good as far as I am concerned. It's not like your putting a Chevy in a Ford, that's blasphemy
  13. lets see: Classic Cars of the World Fast Fords Shelbys Wildlife Custom Cars in Color Mustangs and somewhere I have a book on Concept Cars but alas no 32 Ford books or any others in that group
  14. Just picked up a Revell 32 ford 5 window 2 in 1 for a project. I was impressed with all the build options and all the extra parts that will be leftover for other builds Found a Aluma Coupe in my stash of kits, I'm not so impressed with this one
  15. The one at Model Encyclopedia is 1962 The one I have is a 1961
  16. Right in my part of the world . Maybe I will give the guy a call...then again maybe not
  17. this may help http://howtoairbrush.com/reducing-airbrush-paint/
  18. I use AutoAir Colors made by Createx I thin it with distiled water.I can use it over any primer and clear it with any clear. Ican't wait to try Future on it. Reducing or thinning paint for use in your airbrush The general rule of thumb with most Acrylic Colors is reducing it with distilled water until it flows like milk. Please understand here that it depends on how much air pressure you are running and the type of airbrush you are using. A lot of things come into play when finding just the right consistency of the airbrush paint you are using to atomize correctly. The type of airbrush you are using, needle and fluid nozzle size and the air pressure you are using all come into play.
