Nice Job! Thanks for sharing. Is that a Lane or GMP convertible top? I'll be watching your progress Cheers, Lance

Like this? Cheers, Lance

Clifford, can you please take a pic of the chassis? Thank you. I also wanted to say, that the feature, I would miss the most, is the opening hood, with a detailed engine, and compartment. Cheers, Lance

I totally agree, Tom. I can see the sealed model idea, and am spoiled by all these years of opening features, even though they sit on a shelf, the same as a sealed model would. I'm not in the habit of pulling a car out, and playing with it to operate all of its opening features, but when you look at what the savings should be, without all those added features, its not reflected in the price. As Tom pointed out, with certain features on 1/64, all the "finger fun" incorporated into some of these 1/18 diecast, are a total waste of resources, IMO. Concentrated efforts in outward appearance, would be money well spent, as opposed to a rotating driveshaft. I have told some of my younger friends, that as an old time modeler, features like roll up windows, and opening glove boxes aren't new, heck, we were doing that in the 60's Cheers, Lance

She's a beauty, love the color combo. Too bad its a sealed model Cheers, Lance

Ray, I really don't remember, but superglue should work, or make male fittings from plastruct round stock. Cheers, Lance

Cool, back in my plastic modeling days, many moons ago, I used flexible drinking straws, for ducting. They make different diameter sizes, and I believe they were cocktail drinking straws that were close to scale, but check it out if your interested, cause that was long ago. Cheers, Lance

I did a wheel/tire swap on the 59 panel.

Yeah, Tom, I've never had a 1/18 Diecast with a case of Cancer, but plenty that had paint rash. When I was a Hot Wheels collector, I did have 1/64 cars with Diecast Cancer, and it was tough to watch an expensive Redline, develop that white crusty powder, and fall apart before your eyes. Seems strange that most cars with this condition, takes 20 or more years to show up. Cheers, Lance

Holy cow, Mike, that thing is a MONSTER! How is your project going? Here is a cool rig Cheers, Lance

Nice, looking good. Don't forget a restroom. I have been collecting parts- pieces for a Mega Dio, for years, but don't have the space to keep it out when finished. Cheers, Lance

Unfortunately, none that I've ever seen. 1/18 Decals are few and far between, however there are decal makers out there, that can make decals for you if you provide the artwork, and sizing. Try contacting this guy. http://stores.ebay.com/Dave-s-Decals-and-Models?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Cheers, Lance

I was unable to open the link provided, but yes, as a longtime Diecast car collector, we call it Diecast cancer. After much debate on cause, it was determined that the metal mixture was incorrect to create diecast, and it would literately start from the inside out, as the diecast would swell, crack and crumble, or the Diecast was too brittle, and would not survive shipment. This is not new, as some original Hot Wheels from 1968 would get the same disease, and fall apart in the same manner as 1/18 scale. While I've been a diecast collector, for many years, and have had hundreds of cars, I've been luck enough to not experience this cancer in my collection. I know dozens of other collectors spread out through the United States, and location seems to make no difference. Hot, cold, dry, humidity doesn't seem to matter. But as AZTom pointed out, these may be a factor in how quickly it rears its ugly head. Although, the Ertl 69 Camaro seems to be one of the common diecast to get Cancer, I've had a few of the common ones that get it, and they have stayed perfect through the years. Cheers, Lance

Thanks for sharing Randy. I had a real one of these, in the same color combo, back in 1967. I only paid $50 for it, and purchased it from a neighbor, who was too old to drive anymore. It only had 41,000 miles on it, and was a garage kept car. Cheers, Lance

This is the best product I have found, to get the effect your looking for. Here is a pic of a barn find Camaro I did, including the trailer, using the Tamiya weathering kit. Not sure if this would work for your application, but I found a small spray bottle, and mixed the product with some water, and sprayed it on the car. Cheers, Lance

Beautiful conversions! Nice execution of parts swapping to make the cars you wanted. Cheers, Lance

Thanks Guys! Cheers, Lance

Thanks, Nick. I only posted about half of what I have. Thanks Tom, yes the Funnys are 1/16 scale.
