If there's not too much of it, you could always use a little mildly abrasive polish to remove it. Something along the lines of Novus "fine scratch remover" should take it right off. Either that, or if it's just a color coat waiting for clear, a little light sanding will take care of it. Steve

Even a 4 door does not deserve that sort of treatment! Steve

That's just heinous! I wish I had not just eaten! Steve

I say leave the chopped tops to the '30s-60s cars. There's no reason or excuse to chop the top on a muscle car IMO. They already look low & lean enough. I mean, if he wanted it to look lower, why jack up the suspension? Looks absolutely stupid! Steve

I agree! My all time favorite Chevelle was the '68. You're right Harry, the '70-'72 always looked a little "bloated" to me. Steve

Yes, it's been out for a couple of weeks. The guy must have been a little eccentric. But then again, aren't we all? Steve

Yes please. This topic has been gone over a million times in a million ways. Follow Bills advice. You'll find all of the information you'll ever need. Steve

I have a '67 Bonneville that I hope to do soon. I guess with the issues at Modelhaus, I'll just stick to that for now. The Royal Plum is the color I'll be doing my Bonneville in. Already got the paint from MCW some time ago. Steve

Very cool Jim! I didn't even know that Modelhaus had this one available. Nice job! Steve

That was my first thought too! Steve

Thanks so much Jim! Steve

I'll most likely go that route in the end. At least for the interior. I'm still going to do the vinyl top & the same colors. I'm still thinking about those Cragars though. I love Cragars! Steve

That's very nice! Perfect color for a '48 IMO. Steve

I agree. I avoid all black interiors for the same reason. Once the model is finished, it just looks like a black hole inside. At a minimum, some sort of high lights would help a great deal. Steve

Yeah, I don't mind paying a good price for a really nice rare kit. I've heard that this is one of the rarest kits out there, but it'll be a very cold day, you know where, when I pay that kind of money for one. People buy entire collections of rare old annuals for less money! I believe I'll pass. By the way Bill, I love your "profile photo". Looks like it could be something straight from Terry Gilliam's desk! Steve

Yeah, I'll have to make a decision at some point. I want to build it to look like mine, which means adding a vinyl top, but I guess it won't be an exact replica anyway. Mine didn't have the buckets & floor shift. Mine was a bench seat with column shift. I guess if I could find a suitable front bench seat, it would be a possibility. Steve

Those I have the stock caps for! The only problem is, My 1:1 '67 300 was a late production car so it had the '68 style caps. Well, I can't in good conscience steal the ones from the '68 kit. Then what will I do for the '68? Although, my '67 had Cragar SS wheels on it for most of the time I owned it, so I may have to go that route. Steve

Something makes me think Gary is probably not selling. Steve

No Scott. The Built kit that I acquired had no stock caps & as you can imagine, the stock ones are not easy to come by. I wanted to keep it "stock-ish" so any kind of mag wheels were out of the question, so I decided that dog dishes were one of my few options. Let's just call it a "what if". Or maybe a special order by the original buyer. Steve

Nice! I've been looking for one of those "flat box" Dodges for a while. No luck yet! Steve

Actually, those wire wheels came straight from the original annual kit. Several of these mid 60s Johan Chryslers included them as a custom option. The built kit that I bought had the wires & no stock caps, so I went ahead & used them on the build. Never really cared for the stock '64 hubcaps anyway. Steve

I believe MCW paints are all Dupont as well. Steve

Thanks TJ, but it sounds like a whole bunch of messing around that I don't really want to deal with. I guess my question is, why don't I have this problem problem anywhere else. I post these same photos on a number of different forums & sites & have never heard of any issues. My question would be, if some people are seeing it distorted, & others are not, & only here I might add, wouldn't that be a problem on the "viewers" end? Steve

Not sure how I go about changing that. Is this any better? Steve

Relax Harry. I was only kidding around with you. I only saw a few responses of people mentioning that the photos looked "squished". Most of the responses that mentioned it said the photos looked just fine. I prefer to post larger pictures, but if it's going to cause a problem, I'll see what I can change in the future. The photo I just posted was resized down from 161.59 KB to 71.48 KB. How much smaller do I need to go? Steve
