Can-Con

Just because you can see color on the edges of the glass does not mean it's necessarily all the way through. Here's a pic of a couple I tinted a few years ago with Tamiya acrylics. The edges look green like it's all the way through but I know it's not as the only color on them is what I sprayed on the inside surface myself.

Looks great. BTW, what are those wheels, I could use a couple sets of those.

The front and back bumpers , back grille and tailights on this Lincoln are Modelhaus. I've never a problem with thier plating.

The pilot and at least some of the episodes are on youtube.

Very nice.

That's the same one I have. Just checked, no grille.

All the same chassis and engine all the way back to the first one in '78. The first of those kits, which was 2 wheel drive shares most of the parts too. Kris, if you had a copy of the 2 wheel drive front suspension it could be used directly on the 4X4 frame. BTW, I offered the front suspension from my unbuilt example to a couple people for casting years ago in exchange for a couple copys for myself and there were no takers.

The '66 Mercury, '53 Vette and the AMT "Xtasy" and "KISS" custom Chevy vans have Strippers. A buddy of mine had a set on his '72 Vette when he got it.

Now in Zinzer BIN primer. Still have to repair around the tailights and there's some small spots that need attention but I think it's looking pretty good. I'm gonna use the Revell '63 interior as this will be a custom so the pleated inserts on the doors and seats will be a nice custom touch.

This is an old build. Must be about 15 years old now or more. Built when the kit first came out but I never shot any pics of it until today. It seems to have held up pretty well except for the missing mirror.

Any year JoHan Caddy Eldorado also has the same chassis and engine. The only difference is some of them had Cadillac script on the valve covers but they were all Olds engines in the kits.

That body looks great now Dan.

I thought I read somewhere back then that they were doing to do a new Demon body and chrome tree for the newer tooling '71 Duster. Maybe new seats but the ones in the kit may also be correct for a Demon, I think they are but I'm not sure.

No. The fuzz duster is a Volare and the convoy chased is a Dart. The kits don't share anything.

No worries Jeff, I'm just joking about the situation, if I was mad I wouldn't have posted the last pic

Thanks Snake. Like I said, that gas cap had me fooled. I'm gonna change the title of the thread now.

I see people starting threads in this section all the time without pics ,, IF ,, I had of been asked I would have posted one. Sorry guys, I flunked mindreading 101. I humbly apologise and promise not to start any more threads in this section. Anyway, here's a pic of the '79 Nova kit I have. Not the Squad Rod but the "Breakout" version which was issued between the annual and the Squad. Same kit without the police stuff added from the Monaco police cars.

Well guys, after spending the last 1/2 hour comparing pics of the deck lid on the model to '65 and '66 cars, maybe it was a '65. Which I'd kinda like better anyway as it was my birth year.

That's what I was thinking too Dan but the gas cap looks more like a '66 to me. Maybe AMT didn't get the memo that injection would be dropped? Wouldn't be the first time that happened.

Beauty answer, Eh?

Been playing with this old thing for the last couple weeks between other projects. Got it in a box of old builtups over a decade ago, it was pretty nasty before I stripped all the old green Testors bottle paint off it. As you can see in the pics, it dosen't really look much better with the paint off. The rear wheel openings were cut so I repaired them. The only suitable windshield donor I had was the Revell snap kit molded on purple so I grafted it in. The rear deck needed some attention as it looked pretty flat so I'm building it up a bit with putty and after it has a nice shape to it I'll add the character line back up the center. I still have to repair the tailight areas and will be keeping the six lights. It'll be mildly customised and I'm going to finish it with some pastel yellow pearl nail polish I've been saving for the right car. Here's with the windshield grafted in,, ,, And here's with a guide coat of primer and wet sanded to show the imperfections. This shows how scratched up the hood and deck are. Looks like it had paint scraped off with the blade of a knife or something before it was repainted with the Testors green I stripped off.

I already started repairs on it Snake. Even had the chrome replated.

Here's some of the ones I have that I haven't started on yet or maybe just stripped the paint on

I love gluebombs.

The AMT '55 Vette has a seprate hard top. I don't know about it being "factory stock", but it's in there.
