Its true, chrysler sold the tooling to china, and china made it look more austere to suit them at the time. There was an article on the hemmings site a few years ago about it.

The original red flag limo was a 55ish chrysler 300 to begin with, but they had to do away with a lot of the chrome so it wasn't so capitalist looking.

Yeah, might be a scottish thing, or even an orkney islands thing cos we have some unusual terms. Some of them sound almost like rappers, eg - bigging up a dyke, means building a wall, either that or my granny had a secret music life, lol

revell and there a japanese kit in 1/24 too but i cant remember who, possibly fujimi

my spot putty has gone off and i cant get it locally.

very cool car, i believe they had an aircooled v8 in the back.

they wont, they'll get a slap on the wrist and maybe 200 hours community service so they can learn how to do it better next time. If they do get jail it will be suspended due to covid, and as long as they dont get CAUGHT breaking the law again they'll just keep doing it. Jail isn't going to stop her either way, its like college for crime so put her to work digging graves, cutting grass in parks, repainting kids play areas or cleaning hospitals so it really is community service. weeding outside the council offices is not community service, community service to my mind should be about improving areas the public use,

The only cutting was the strips, the rest is just files and sandpaper. just sand it close with some p80-100 then finish it off with finer stuff. Its almost as easy as filler to sand down

I would start with one of the kits you suggested, then cut the roof as far back as possible, saving the rear edge of the roof and pillars. Then I would use some plastic sheet or evergreen strips (I like the strips as they sand down easily and poly cement welds them together so its pretty strong) to extend the roof back before adding the saved rear edge and pillars so the window might still fit. For the pillars I would probably use some evergreen square strip and sand and file it to the shape of the pillars. I think I've seen flat hoods in resin for these era mopars somewhere. Heres a truck fender I've been reshaping using the evergreen strips and while it looks kinds rough it is actually smooth. Almost all the white bits started as square strip, including the cab extension and fenders. You can see the unshaped strip on the back edge of the bed too

that makes me laugh, nothing like a good education and thats definately nothing like one. I blame mobile phone texting for the lack of grammar now. The kids i know dont even laugh now, they just say lol

costed is the right word in some situations. for example, i costed up the project. and from the dictionary verb (used without object), cost·ed or cost; cost·ing. to estimate or determine costs, as of manufacturing something.

thanks for the heads up

I have one of them, the worst kit in my stash. both sides are different lengths, and the engine is a joke. the only parts in mine worth keeping are the roof and interior and possibly the chassis. The roof on the one pictured above actually looks worse than mine but at least the side on it look to bow out instead on in like mine

yeah, you really dont want to drink it. I know people that use it to unseize/clean engines. We use it at work to clean stainless

Well thats a pain, I used my street rodder and lowrider refunds to subscribe last month. Guess theres another refund on its way

Thats pretty cool, it looks very modern somehow but still classic cal look

thankyou sir, I've bookmarked it

Unfortunately I cant remember who it was, I've made a lot of purchases from ebay in the last six months and i would hate to name the wrong shop in error. All I know for sure is it was a shop in the uk and a euro/japanese style box. I will say the vast majority of sellers on ebay uk do pack pretty well

I keep mine in kitchen paper tubes stacked in one of the cubby holes in my workbench (old computer desk) I have a small section of the strips taped to the end so I dont have to hunt through them for the size i need. Depending on the size of the strips you can get ten packs of strip in each tube

thanks, I've been looking into methods to control them but they seem to have changed how they happen recently. Before I would get to the severe tremors and pass out for a while but now I'm just not passing out. I'm trying to avoid the news and only look at it once a day. My doc offered me valium but i know far too many people that they became a problem for so I just wont take them. Meditation sounds like it could be what I need instead. Thanks again sir

I've been having lots of panic attacks recently and I'm sick of them. I'm constantly feeling drained and lethergic after them. Last weekend I had pretty severe one each day and had to miss work because of them as i had no energy to walk across the room let alone the 3 miles to work. The only medication they offer to ease the attacks is one i cant take and I'm at a loss with how to cope with them. Half the time I'm not even thinking about any worries, and even eating dinner seems to set them off

Cool, reminds me a little of the roundy round hot rods on this side of the pond

If you dont find them I have some I can post down to you, I didn't use them on mine

As an aside, I just recieved a kit purchased on ebay, paid very little for the kit but it still came with all the loose parts bagged, stuffed with bubble wrap and in a box I could stand on safely. To me that how it should be done.

I would expect that to be very similar to the fairy power spray we get in the uk. Unfortunatelly for us they changed to formula a couple of years ago and its now useless, but before they changed it i used it to strip paint. Now i use la's totally awesome cleaner to clean resin with no ill effects.
