  1. I'd like to make one of those preferably Dodge. I see Modelhaus has a wheel kit. I suppose if there aren't any dually kits there must be after market boxes. Where do I start to look?
  2. Thanks Fabrizio. By J10 I had in mind the old ones with the vertical grille. I think they were also called Gladiators. https://www.google.com/search?q=j10+jeep+images&rlz=1T4NDKB_enCA533CA534&tbm=isch&imgil=ouRdSzUegihJmM%253A%253B_y2XL0m-Y0lD9M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fcloudlakes.com%25252Fgallery%25252F2708605-jeep-j10.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=ouRdSzUegihJmM%253A%252C_y2XL0m-Y0lD9M%252C_&usg=__UIsop-X8e96txOlysvJbyhtAaBI%3D&biw=1536&bih=630&ved=0CDEQyjc&ei=0mYoVdLPOcPfoATzloGgDQ#imgrc=ouRdSzUegihJmM%253A%3B_y2XL0m-Y0lD9M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcloudlakes.com%252Fdata_images%252Fmodels%252Fjeep-j10%252Fjeep-j10-07.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcloudlakes.com%252Fgallery%252F2708605-jeep-j10.html%3B2969%3B2235
  3. Have they ever made a model of the following? The J10 Jeep pickup The Honcho The 2 door full size Cherokee
  4. What scale is this one and who makes it?
  5. Coming from you sir, That is definitely a compliment! Thank you.
  6. Flatheads to Boxers has just completed this 331 Cu.In. Chrysler Hemi . It is from a 1955 300.
  7. I wonder if anyone ever built a 1:1 Boss 9 F-100.
  8. Found on eBay, an Avanti and an AMT Blueprinter parts pack. 4 engines and some grilles. I attach a list of the grilles in case some of you get interested.
  9. It was indeed a 78. Here's its engine after a rebuild. It was so heavy it bent the support plate of the engine stand and that is why there is a piece of wood under the front.
  10. My Olds had the same body as the big Pontiacs. we did a side by side comparison one time at a show and the shells were identical. So, yes the Chevy would be too small, but it is as far as I know the only kit of a 40's GM fastback.
  11. Couldn't wait any longer. Changed the oil & fired her up. Backed her outside in the sun and let it idle. Throttle foot is extremely itchy.
  12. Thanks guys. Now I am debating whether to put on the 5 clearance lights on the roof or not.
  13. My first crack at Alclad. Adapted the Louisville's steering shaft & installed. Added the tanks, bumper, turn signals. The mirrors were a hard fought battle. I had to improvise and cut off one of the braces to make them fit the N600 cab.
  14. Played at photographer. All shots taken with a 200 mm. lens at 1/15 and f22.
  15. My guessis Mustang is the "Make" in this case while Ford is the manufacturer. Who knows?
  16. Shelby is the "Make", Cobra is the model. That is why you find it in several places.
  17. Spider/Spyder is a European name for the convertible body style.
  18. Thanks guys. We now have Glass and some color on the body. Just wishing I had painted the treadplate first and masked it.
  19. Join the club Stray. I'm an older returnee as well and I find my body hasn't kept up. But it is still fun despite the frustration. Love your build. Will steal some ideas for sure.
  20. I suppose so. I also thought a bit of a guardrail, so when they're half lit they don't fall off.
  21. Finished fabricating a support and modifying the duct for the air filter. Modified the front of the body, something like Dan's. A bit of filler & sanding and it will be ready to prime.
  22. I don't think so. The paints are less strong than their solvents. Does that make sense.
  23. It is a 350.Apparently, the rubber seals are vulnerable to lacquer thinner.
  24. Lone wolf, I've got it direct from Badger not to run lacquer thinner through the airbrush. It's OK for the nozzles though.
  25. I'm ready to take the big plunge and try Alclad chrome. But before I start, what will I clean my airbrush with? It says not to use mineral spirits on the bottle. I have some 99% isopropyl alcohol.Will that work?
