GT Kustom Khrome uses the plater that used to do the plating for several of the kit manufacturers. They do excellent work! Steve

Hang in there Jeremy. You always have to remember that it could have been much worse. Your son will heal & will remain in your life. Never forget what the alternative may have been. Steve

I tried to contact George by email at least twice over a 2 month period & never did get a response. I understand that he is busy & does most of his business through facebook, but it would have been nice to get a few more particulars from him before I commit to sending him some parts. I had used Kustom Khrome before George took the reigns and was extremely happy with the results, so even though I have yet to deal with him directly, I somehow have trust in him. I don't do facebook, but I have acquired a price list & mailing address, so at this point, I think that I will just ship him the parts along with a check & hope for the best. Steve

Another vote for the dehydrator. Steve

No. Just a fairly common combination of "Rose Quartz" & "Coral". I believe that the "La Femme" as an actual Dodge model, was available in '55 & '56 only. Steve

Hmmm, "Cadovettmino"! There's a mouth full! Steve

I'll bet that was a real beauty! Steve

I really like your '59 Dodge! Steve

I don't use wax either. I use Novus polishes and Turtle Wax "Scratch and Swirl Remover". The scratch remover gives me a super glossy finish. Steve

I guess this one would fit the bill. It has gone through a transformation since I acquired it. Steve

That's probably what I would do. I don't much care for the GT wheels. Steve

Doesn't bother me either. I just think that there are a lot of guys that have no interest in anything other than a full detail kit. They're missing out on a lot of great subject matter in my opinion. Steve

Yeah, you would think that there would have been more interest. Probably had something to do with it being a curbside kit? Steve

I think that if I built one, it might have to be this color. "Indian Fire". Steve

I've had an AMT '69 Galaxie in my stash for years but never really had much interest in building it. But I could get interested in this GT option! Only problem is, if I were to build it, I would then feel obligated to try and find a '68 to do a GT version of that as well! Steve

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anybody knew of someone who produces the GT stripe decals for the '69 Galaxie GT? I never realized that the '69 Ford could look this good! Steve

Well, they're not exactly like picking up stones from a gravel road, but they are out there. As far as price goes, any time you have a kit that is OOP, you are going to have to pay a price for it. $70.00 may sound high, but it all depends on how badly you want one. You can buy 3 modern kits that you can live without, or you can save your money & buy one that you really want. It's all relative. As they say, you have to pay to play. Or, you can wait & hope that Round 2 re-issues it sometime before we die! Steve

it absolutely was. An AMT (Model King) repop. It was reissued in limited numbers a few years ago & is not terribly difficult to find. So we know that AMT still possesses the molds. It could be reissued again at any time. Steve

It is. I usually shoot a coat of Testors primer under it. Steve

1962 Ford Sunliner. Steve

The Tamiya primer isn't any cheaper! Steve

Yeah, what's that all about? Steve

Yes, it's the "sister" kit of the Monogram convertible. Sorry, I guess it was marketed as a Monogram kit, not Revell. Steve

No Rusty. Not this time. Sticking with the yellow. I did get a fresh sheet of foil today, so I can get back on the task of foiling the rest of the body. Then I need to get on the interior! Steve

With something like a grille, regardless of what you use, you will have better results if you clean off the high spots anyway. There really is no "magic bullet" that you can just apply and leave it. I use slightly thinned acrylic craft paint & then I clean off the surfaces that are supposed to be chrome. It takes a little time, but then again, anything that's worth doing does. I think the results speak for themselves. Steve
