    If you mean the full wheel cover, the closest I know of are the ones in this Mustang kit, but they're 4 bolt. If you could find a set maybe you could drill out the centers and replace them with 5 bolt centers?

    That's what I was thinking but you know what they say, Better to keep quiet and thought a fool then to open my mouth and remove all doubt. ?

    I knew if I made any kind of statement like that it'd come back and bite me in the asp. Always does. After doing some searching I found this pic on the Ford Canada website. I have never seen one with these caps myself though. Seen plenty of them with these though,,

    It's this one Dave. Look for the 2 in 1 logo at the top right of the box. Spotlight hobbies has one in stock right now.

    I've had it turn resin to rubber.

    Looks fantastic in those colors. Odd about the back window. I've built a few of the MPC/AMT 3rd gens and never had a problem with mine. Never fit quite flush like on a 1/1, [I have an '85 T/A out in the garage] but they were closer then on yours. Must be something holding it back maybe? Looks like you did get the windshield to fit flush though, or does the pics make it look that way? I know the kits weren't designed for it.

    I wouldn't do that. A lot of resins turn to goo in almost anything you'd leave it in for stripping. Just about the only really safe way to strip resin is with lacquer stripper and cotton balls. Just wet the cotton with the thinner and wipe the old paint off.

    Just the first year ['69]. '70 and later you could get them either way but they seem to be quite rare. I've only ever seen one 2 wheels drive '70-'72 in person.

    I'd prefer the old Desert Dogs too but I do have a couple sets stashed away. The 8 spoke wheels were a factory option that year along with the aluminum wheels in the AMT Bronco , 5 slot wheels like Ansen Sprints and a full wheel cover same as used on a lot of other Fords at the time. The 8 spoke wheels are shown on all the trucks pictured in the brochure. And for those inclined, I don't think dog dish caps were a factory option in those years on Broncos. Here's a link to the brochure. http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/FMC Trucks-Vans/1980_Trucks-Vans/1980 Ford Bronco Brochure (Rev)/index1.html

    Just super ??? Makes me want to get my SS out and on the table. Like I need to start another project. ?

    When I get mine, I'll trade you. I'd have no use for those.

    Never hit the shelves on this side of the country.?

    Unfortunately, you're also going to need a Grand Prix body and do a roof transplant. When AMT did the 2+2, they didn't do a correct body. They just changed the trim on the Bonneville body, which is too long for a 2+2 or a Parisienne.

    That's the 1/25 sheet, not the 1/8 sheet he was working on. I don't know what the difference would be seeing as it says "other scales available" but ?? Anyway, the one I was referring to was the one listed as "under development - September" on this page https://rayskits.com/coming-soon/ Specifically for the 1/8 kit, but like I said above, I don't know what the difference would be.
  15. Can-Con
    I think since it's a custom build, not a restoration of an original truck, whatever badging and what they want to call it is irrelevant. ?
  16. Can-Con
    Um, you guys want to post a link to that page? The latest refrence I could find to the 1/8 decals was on the Facebook page from 4 days ago saying they wern't available yet and it would be a couple months for them.
  17. Can-Con
    I might through my X-acto into the ring. I have been known to build a custom or two but mine tend to be more to the Winfield/ D'agostino end of the spectrum then the Roth/ Daniel side.
  18. Can-Con
    Um, Dennis, that was a wisecrack based on the fact that Barris was well known for buying custom cars built by other people, making minor changes like paint or wheels and sometime no mods at all and claiming them as he built them himself.
  19. Can-Con
    Oh, cool. ,,I haven't been in touch in a couple weeks.
  20. Can-Con
    To do a George Barris car, do we buy one already built and just add our name on the door and claim it as out original creation? ???
  21. Can-Con
    That's great but it's for the 1/25 kits, Ray was working on the decals for the 1/8 kit when his wife took ill a few months ago. I'm sure he will get around to them in good time. BTW, he was also working on a sheet for the '81 T/A with their unique 2 color bird decals only used that year.
  22. Can-Con
    Pretty sweet. Great paint too. I've never heard of that resin company, did the bumpers come already plated?
  23. Can-Con
    Sweet!. Look forward to seeing it in person at the next club meeting.

    Possibly? There was a series of these kits.
