PM me what you may have for trade for a Rubicon Jeep that I have, I would be willing to let it go.

Define "completed" for me!! If you mean the point at which you stop fiddling with them and put them in the display case, then I am in trouble! My hectic schedule doesn't allow me much time to build and my never ending quest to add details or customize a kit prevents me from getting many completed. Like many others, I have kits that were started years ago and have yet to be finished.

I don't believe Dencon is in business anymore. Their product was among the best, their service was spotty. I bought their stuff at shows, which is where I buy most of my resin stuff. I would follow the advice others have laid out regarding which axles are available and go from there.

Neat way of using some leftover parts to create a unique piece! Nice details and very creative, can't wait to see it done!

Velocity TV is almost all car related programming, check it out. Also, Speed has TV related shows- My Classic Car, Car Crazy, Gearz, TruckU, Two Guys Garage, Chp, Cut Rebuild. Spike has their Powerblock shows. Discovery has some car shows. There are a ton of them out there, just hit some of the cable networks for their listings.

Okay Frank, you got us all interested, care to share the secret? I have a few cars that could use some stripes and I would be willing to try something other than tape and hope for the best!

nice job on the weathering and detailing. PM sent regarding plow.

That is funny Nick!

I picked up the 66 Mustang from HobbyLobby with the 40% coupon today, mainly because a post here told of the excellent Polyglas tires in the kit. I will probably trade it off (minus the Polyglas tires) as I have a couple of Mustang kits already (I think, if I can get into the deep storage!). I also dropped a note to Round2 to plead my case for having the Polyglas tires released as a set separately, similar to the slicks, so I don't have to buy a complete model kit just for some tires.

Monty, I will join you in writing to Round 2 for getting the Polyglas tires released as a kit like their other tire packages as I have a hard time buying the Hurst Olds and Mustang kits just for the tires! I would rather purchase multiple tire kits that I will use instead of multiple car kits that will get raided! Thanks for pointing this out and taking the lead on the campaign to get these tires offered as kit. Round 2 if you are listening, get them done now!

That is a very nice job building the replica for your friend! Clean and well detailed.

I bought one on Monday, October 29th at a Hobby Lobby,in Charlotte NC, which I always thought were among the last to get new releases. I will have to check out that Mustang kit as I would love to put some polyglas tires on some Camaros in the stash.

Well, I don't take my models to shows so I guess I would never get an award or be in a magazine! I tend to build for my own satisifaction and while I think I build a decent model, I am too critical of my work to take it to a show and let others judge it. In the end, I enjoy this hobby and have never felt the need to build contest winning models or seek fame and recognition.

There is a product called dullcote that can be sprayed on a shiny surface to make it appear dull or less shiny. There are typically 4 levels of clear one can spray on a surface: 1. High Gloss- for the shiniest of finishes, mainly on show cars 2. Gloss- for a shiny surface finish, usually used to replicate a factory paint job. 3. Semi-gloss- for those parts that typically have a little shine to them, like chassis parts, underhood, etc. 4. Flat or dullcote- these are parts that have no shine to them. Hope this helps!

Monty, Do you know which kits they are putting them in? The only AMT kit I have bought in the last 6 months was the '69 442 Hurst Olds Cutlass. I haven't checked that one yet. Let us know what you find!

Same boat here Nick, except I almost always scan the shelves 3 times "just to make sure"! The other day it was the recently reissued AMT '69 442 Hurst Olds. I have the kit from the previous issue but not in the Hurst Olds package and after watching an episode of Chasing Cars, I saw my inspiration!

This should be interesting as it was a stripped down Nova and the last issue of this kit was a SS396 , if I remember correctly. Doesn't matter, I have plenty of the Revell Novas as well as a couple of the AMTs.

There are some resin kits out there too, I will have to do some digging to get the names listed.

Josh, Is this friend local to South Carolina? Is his stuff available at local shows? I ask because I like to see before I buy and hope that I might see him at show near here soon as I like his stuff! Thanks

Which is great for us consumers until the person in front of you REALLY wants that picture frame but somehow managed to get the last one and the price tag is missing, resulting in a long wait at the only open register! If they ever go to scanning barcodes, it will mean the end of great deals as I have lucked out a few times with current kits having clearance tags and getting them for 50% off, sometimes more!

Sure would be nice to have a new kit of that series GM Pickups, much like Mobeius is doing with the 67-72 Fords! Nice job!

Why, isn't he the king of rust and weathering???????? Nice job on this build, I would suggest some more dullcote on those fuel tanks, still too shiny!

Might be a little early to determine those answers Charlie, although I understand your reasoning. My hope is that all made it thru the storm unscathed and the show will go on, although seeing the pictures on TV, I can only imagine the devastation in person.

PM sent.
