  1. Using a rotary polisher runs the risk of burning through and ruining the paint and clearcoat. Get a set of micro-mesh polishing pads. You have more control over how much pressure is applied. Using paste waxes, such as Turtle wax or The Treatment, deepens the color of non-clearcoated finishes. They also have the tendency to remove the paint if rubbed too hard.
  2. Only if you use a paper bag.
  3. Buying any one of those is cheaper than the combined cost of a tube of glue and liquid cement.
  4. Thinning tube glue with a liquid cement is a ponderous method to create something which already exists. Plastruct Plastic Weld and Bondene, for example. accomplish the same thing. So do Testors 3502XT and Tamiya 87012 with no strings attached, (pun intended). All of these liquid cements allow time to properly position parts.
  5. Yeah, a 180 horsepower behemoth.
  6. There hasn't been a real Cadillac since the '74-'76 Sedan de Ville.
  7. That's exactly what I would do to my AMT Impala. If I had a Revell '63 to cannibalize.
  8. I'll take your word since you're actually using it.
  9. National Lampoon was the first to write a parody on this. It was a two-part story in the September and October 1982 issues. Speaking of coyote sightings, this happened in March. Coyote takes casual morning stroll through Queens
  10. Wile E. Coyote v. Acme Company
  11. If you want to add a '63 Impala to your stash, or just to build, might as well get the AMT kit and put your modeling skills to work because it doesn't seem like Revell will be reissuing its version anytime soon. Or later. Fleabay prices border on the ridiculously expensive.
  12. Alumilite Amazing Mold Putty would work. Picks up the finest details.
  13. Snagged another Revell '62 Lancer GT for cheap on fleabay a few minutes ago.
  14. It's a GM A-body platform. Chassis from '65-'67 AMT/Revell Chevelles and the AMT/Lindberg '66-'67 Olds 442 kits would work.
  15. This is comparable to the old joke, "How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Practice."
  16. Bill was referring to working in an auto shop environment.
  17. Only the box art and price for the next reissue will.
  18. Ask three people what time it is and you'll get three different answers. Those links contained the least confusing descriptions of either type found on Google.
  19. Bada-bing, Bada-boom, brother! Also, don't attempt to polish out a substandard spray job. Strip it clean and start over. Polishing has the effect of causing the metallic particles to displace and move in unwanted patterns.
  20. The Revell '63 Impala tail lights would work. So would the Revell '64 Impala's. Check fleabay for both and look for parts under each.
  21. Common sense prevails.
  22. Usually a euphemism for junk.
  23. It's Mod Podge. "Hodgepodge is something completely different. Google results regarding diluting/thinning it. Better for you to decide which method would work.
