This is comparable to the old joke, "How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Practice."

Bill was referring to working in an auto shop environment.

Only the box art and price for the next reissue will.

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.

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.

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.

Common sense prevails.

Usually a euphemism for junk.

It's Mod Podge. "Hodgepodge is something completely different. Google results regarding diluting/thinning it. Better for you to decide which method would work.

The booth can be easily scratchbuilt. There are plenty of PE working hinge sets available from Aber, Voyager and other companies.

Not really. The brass frets a pretty flexible. I form the tiedowns over various micro drill bits. The stainless frets are a bit stiffer; however, annealing them with a butane torch or lighter makes them easier to work with.

Great tip, Steve. Since I build a lot of 1/35 armor, 1/72 and 1/48 aircraft, I use the thin parts of brass/stainless PE frets for the same purpose.

Roger that. I have several from '59-'66. I picked up a nice mint '64 HT promo a while back and will do the same.

The only difference is probably the price. I did a comparison of the instructions and they're the same kit with the exception of the optional parts as Steve pointed out. AMT 682/12

Compare the instruction sheet from the one you're building with THIS

If you have a cell phone, use it.

What I found: What Does Direct-To-Metal Mean? What Does Weld Through Primer Mean?

Ace Hardware. Lowe's and Home Depot carry Krylon. So do Sherwin-Williams paint stores, since S-W owns Krylon.

Polk's Hobby Shop was located at 314 Fifth Ave. just off the corner of W. 32nd St., one block south of the Empire State Building. Entering the place was like dying and going to Hobby Heaven (the real McCoy, not the "other" identically named one ). Five floors stuffed with RC cars, planes and helicopters, model trains, plastic kits, tools and supplies. They pioneered RC. Its Arist-O-Craft line produced a full line of RC transmitters, batteries, servos, etc. Polk's partnered with Mabuchi to manufacture motors and other items which were originally designed by the Polks. Mabuchi sandbagged Polk's by stealing the designs and producing ripoffs under their name. I wish I would have been smart enough back then to have bought the HO Trolley Bus System. It was perfect for building a mid '50s Brooklyn street layout. Polk's was the first store to sell primitive home computers in 1975. There was a display located in the rear of the ground floor showcasing this behemoth, which was the size of a contemporary quadraphonic stereo system and cost around $6,000. The only thing you could do with it was play a Star Trek game, complete with prehistoric green graphics. Still, it was a cool piece of hardware. Some sources incorrectly state that Polk's moved from its NYC location in 1980. I was still shopping there as late as 1990. One of the last things I bought at Polk's was the 1/10 Tamiya Toyota Bruiser RC truck. The store moved to Irvington, N.J. in 1991. It finally closed on Dec. 31, 2013 due to the bad economic circumstances at the time.

What's the question? The bottom car is a 1965 Fury; the middle is a 1963 Fury convertible and the top is a '64 Fury HT.

Why not? They'd pair up nicely with ratty 20 year old Converse Chuck Taylors which still are infused with the aroma of the first owner's feet.

The Goodwill stores in NYC do not accept any kinds of toys, that includes model kits. They're more than happy to accept paperback pulp novels, velvet Elvis paintings and Hawaiian print shirts with armpit stains, though. Those same items will be purchased by toilet plunger shaped hipsters to be sold at inflated prices as "vintage" at the local flea markets. It saves them the trouble of rifling through trash cans late at night.

C'mon, nobody uses them anymore. A miniature cell tower will be included to bring the kit up to date.

Gee Jim, you've really been gone too long. Jan's closed in 2021 after the real owner, Collette Hutchins, passed away. Neither Rudy's or Red Caboose carry any meaningful variety of paints. Rudy's is cool in a model kit museum kind of way. He doesn't seem to stock anything made after 1996. You'd have to dig through decades of dust in Red Caboose just to see what's buried under it.

As the saying goes, "Walk a mile in my shoes." Being a resident of NYC, I have to deal with the highest cost of living in the country. Being from Ma., you know exactly what a toll this takes on ones day-to-day expenses. Ever pay 55 bucks for a regular, run-of-the-mill haircut? Then, the dude expects a $20 tip on top of that.
