    I wasted the entire day waiting at the hospital for an endoscopy only for the doc to be defeated by my gag reflex. He tried multiple times but no luck so now i have to get knocked out for it

    before or after bullit?

    what does the icm t racers have?

    Kent models are pretty good for these kits, but the japanese shops have great prices. I've seen these kits at 1999.com for as little as $12 each

    the roof is 5mm to the left at the front pillars. its been sat on its side for a couple of years so the rear pillar has a slight twist to it as well which is where i'm trying to get squared up. if it was an amt kit the hot water would have fixed it but monogram plastic doesn'e seem to age very well

    Since you haven't finished the glass now would be a good time to paint the edge of the glass black. It will make your model look better as it will make it look like the glass goes in the rubber beading under the chrome. Its a small detail but you'll be happier with the finished model.

    check if you're using any of the dodgy words listed by Dave and if you are add a space in them

    I was going to build my monogram gnx as a regal but it turns out the roof is slightly pushed to one side. I tried the usual hot water fix but i had to stop as its old black plastic and brittle and made some scary noises. Is there something else i can try before i give up and t top it? I've got a fresh kit coming but I'd like to save this one if i can. Its my own fault for storing the kit on its side

    you could try kingkit in the uk too. they tend to hve a lot of older racecar kits

    this was the kit with the blue cedric on the top and this was the blue ken n mary

    it could be argued the contempory mustang stole its look from the mk2 escort rs2000

    Luckily the monogram kit has the flares seperate and the spoiler is an easy fix. The hood might bethe hardest to do but since i plan to fit the gnx bulge to a monte carlo, i'll just take care and swap the parts between hoods.

    It might be a rukkus. Pretty popular with the tuner guys a few years back and i think iceman had it one month

    I'm not too worried about the gauges. I'm going lowrider so the most the interior will get is the dash tag smoothed and the head rests removed and maybe a bright colour. Hopefully the paint will distract from the inevitable flaws as i''ve never seen one in real life. They just aren't common in scotland

    theres a kit of that in the impala ss if you want to take the easy route

    To convert a gnx into a regal is it just a case of adding chrome or are there other body differences i'm not seeing? I can live with the wrong engine but theres a spare small block if that changes.

    you might find the mdf wears down pretty quick. there is a surprising amount of heat generated by sawing and its enough to break down the glue in the mdf. go with the ply and it will last longer

    you could use a leather punch. the one i have has 6 sizes of punch and can be used on plastic too. i find i use it quite often for making fuel caps but theres no reason it wouldn't work on decals. mine cost about 20 bucks from a hobby lobby type shop in the fabric section. its meant for belts but its a great tool for us too

    do you have accessto a 3d printer? theres plenty files on cults. i have a couple of sets and they print good

    hence why i started that statement with the words AT A GUESS, and began my entire post with i used up the sum of my knowledge. at least quote the whole statement. This isn't the joe rogan show

    it kinda looks like moisture or dust under the decal.

    you are very close to a period of moderation, dial it back. and if your going to use urban dictionary terms, "nuff said" means I've said enough, not you've said enough, its like mic drop

    pics please, I'm thinking one roof for length but i didn't think about width as the imai are pretty fat in the body
