Make them yourself. It's very simple. 1. Cut a piece of .040"/1.0mm styrene sheet a little larger than the length and height of the window opening. 2. Trim and adjust the rear portion to approximately match the contours of the C pillar and roof on the inner side of the body. 3. Take the piece of styrene, place it inside the body, with the front edge abutting the rear edge of the vent window frame and the upper edge as close to the roof. 4. Holding it in place, trace the shape of the area from the outside. Mark off where the door panel line is. This will be a reference point for the center of the B pillar. check reference pics to see if the B pillar is straight (90°) or,as found on some cars, at a rearward angle. If there's an angle, mark the appropriate location on the tracing near the roofline. 5. Mark a 1.0mm border, measured from the outer edge of the tracing, around the entire traced area. This is about the scale size of the frame. Scribe a line from the B pillar mark to the top of the tracing. Measure 0.5mm on either side of this line and draw vertical lines to the top. These lines will be the borders of the door an rear windows. 6. Scribe the inner areas until you can remove them. The lower portions of the windows on the finished part can be filed/sanded to 0.75mmif needed, to match the narrower ones seen on some cars. 7. Finish by smoothing the cut surfaces and, with some minor adjustments, it should fit perfectly into place. I try to explain the steps as clearly and concisely as possible; so, please excuse the verbose instructions. I converted the Lindberg '53 Ford Vic into a '52 Mainline Business Coupe using the above procedures. I wanted to build a car replicating the Fords used by the NYPD in 1952. This is a NYPD Mainline Business Coupe I want to model: This is the Lindberg body with the scratched window frame: Of course, I had to cut the window at and along the lower trim line and move it forward 9mm to get the proper rear glass dimensions. But, It was easy work. And, as David pointed out, the rooflines of hardtops and sedans can be different; so, use a lot of reference pictures to determine how much conversion work will be required.

Loved this show.

I used the chassis and running gear from the Revellogram '68 Charger to replace the less than detailed components of the Johan Police Pursuit Car which I'm building as a NYPD RMP. This is what the mockup looks like: I added an extra 5 mm, measured from the rearmost spring mounts, so that the gas tank is the proper length for a Fury I. Interestingly, the wheelbase of the '68 Charger kit measures out to exactly 119 mm (or 119 inches 1:1), which is the wheelbase for a C Body Plymouth. Now, I gotta get the Lindberg '64 Dodge 330 for the Slant 6. I also used a '59 Impala chassis, which I stretched and modified, to use under the Johan '64 deVille ragtop. I had to scratchbuild the front lower control arms since nobody makes AM parts and the same with the rear suspension.

You can download Enigma Simulator v7.0, TSEC/KL-7, WWII-era US M209 and Cold War-era Hagelin BC-52 cipher machine simulator software here.

This looks like an interesting project to build. It's an electronic replica of the German WWII-era cipher machine, known as the Enigma.I've always been interested in cryptology and this is right up my alley.

If the site was allegedly hacked and he hadn't been receiving emails and orders, how does he explain customers' credit card charges during that period? My cat could come up with a more credible story.

You could always use the JF body to model an abandoned and stripped car. Set it up on cinder blocks and you're good to go.

Open kits can be a problem too. How many times have you seen a kit listed and the seller indicates that he's not sure if all the parts are in the box but it looks complete? Why don't you look at the instruction sheet and inventory what's in the box? You know exactly what you're selling; so, cut the naive/stupid act.

Trainwreck? Not even close. What's the big deal about navigating the site? Under "Catalog", click on "Resin" and you are taken to the resin list. Scroll through the products until you get to Plymouth kits. You want to see what the kit looks like? Click the big red "Gallery" button, once again scrolling down until you find the model and click the link(s) to see photos of the built up item. Bandit Resins also produces a '64 Plymouth 2Dr Sedan; but, unlike the MCW offering, which consists of stock body, hood, grille, tailights, bumpers, interior, wheels & tires, & vac.glass, it only includes the body, hood and single headlight grille.

Nope. They are exactly like the Little Red Wagon caps.

I haven't tried it myself, Jim. I've seen what model train hobbyists have done using this system and it looks like a great product. Another product is Papilio. They make waterslide decal paper for inkjet and laser copiers. Check out the Cobra in the link. All of the decals were printed with the waterslide decal paper. They also make dry transfer decal film, which is really great stuff. My friend, Gino Quintiliani used them to make stencils for his "Jeep in a crate for $50...WIP" project.

Old nooze.

You can also try this decal paper. It dries white.

I made an extra set for you and took photos before sending them. I put a single coat of Revell Aqua Color 36137 (acriylic) Ziegelrot (brick red) on the skirts so they show up better. You can remove it with rubbing alcohol. Now, you'll need another Batmobile to use the other set on.

I used Testors Easy Lift Off on a Johan '64 Coupe deVille HT i picked up. It was stripped clean, like a zebra carcass by a pack of hyenas, in a little more than an hour.

When you apply the newspaper/tissue/wrapping paper, cut it slightly larger than the pillar, place it on the CA precoated pillar and smooth it out with tweezer tips, a dental probe or any other object. Apply another thin, smooth coat of CA over the paper and place a drop of CA accelerator on this. Some people frown on using accelerator; but, hey, to each his own. It'll be rock hard and you can sand it with wet/dry paper or use, if you got'em, round diamond burr bits to make it baby's butt smooth. I also smear on a thin coat of two-part marine epoxy (it's white, which means it'll blend in with the surrounding plastic in 90+% of kits) just to make sure nothing decides to come apart.

A Johan 1931 Cadillac Town Brougham and an MPC 1932 Chrysler Imperial Roadster.

There might be some mighty disappointed folks if the new owners don' make any changes and maintain the status quo. There won't be anything worthy of nitpicking and second guessing about.

I have purchased two, factory sealed Police Pursuit Car kits during the past few months for 29 bucks each and am going to order another one. Earlier today, I bought a Johan 1931 Cadillac Town Brougham, also sealed for $29.99 plus a couple bucks for shipping. A couple of years ago, I picked up a pair of sealed Chrysler Turbine Cars (one, an original 1964 issue GC 300-149 molded in turquoise styrene, the other a 1978 issue GC 300 in white) for less than 50 bucks. It all comes down to how hard one searches. If you limit searches only to fleabay, you'llshell out them big bucks. If you only look through the first two or three pages when using Google (which what the average person does) you ain't finding squat.

Sooooo..............after over 600 comments................. Nobody still knows nuthin'. Oy, such yentas we have!

Done.

It's a reply to George's comment. Pip's was a famous comedy club located in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn. If you didn't know what Pip's was, why didn't you search the name? That's what Google is for. Who was doing standup there? Name any comedian from the last 40+ years.

It's against DMV regulations to issue driver's licenses to non-humans.

Patrick, some of this retro stuff goes a bit too far. Back in 1997, Me and a couple of friends went to a bar on E.10th St. & Ave. B (area known as Alphabet City) called the Lakeside Lounge. We were hanging out at the bar when this chick who looked like Ethel Mertz's mother walked in and pulled up a stool at the bar. She was wearing a gaudy red strapless dress and tons o'Max Factor to compliment her peroxided hair. My friends and I are staring at her and one of them asks her, "What're you supposed to be?" She answered, "I'm 1959." 1959 what? "That's it, 1959." A regoolar mental case, she was.

They will pay over $10000 for a pair of ratty, smelly 1985 vintage Air Jordans.
