Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!
Can-Con replied to Belairconvertable's topic in WIP: Model Cars
You sure those wheels aren't from the AMT '66 Mercury and/or '53 Vette, Gerald ? I like to use those same wheels on my Thunderbird builds. -
Here's some pics of the progress on the body work.I'm adding some rocker panel trim similar to what a Parisienne Sport Custom would have. And a couple pics of it in BIN primer. Still needs a bit of tweaking before I start the actual paint work. It's going candy blue. Probably going to do the roof in a darker candy blue.

Next-gen Riviera. Too bad it'll never happen. -
What did you see on the road today?
Can-Con replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's definitely a Canadian Pontiac, just look at the windshield wipers. BUT, it's all over the place. Looks like kind of a Frankenstein's monster. Laurentian script on the rear 1/4s but the 3 hash marks should be on the front fenders or "C" pillars, not the rear fenders. Plus with so much trim missing, it looks more like a Strato-Chief. Probably a Laurentian somebody's taken some liberty's with. -

What Kind Of Music Do You Listen To While You Build?
Can-Con replied to Miatatom's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
My dad had a cassette deck in his car back in the day I remember hearing the song in the car. Summer break after grade 1. Must have been '71 or '72. First tape deck of any kind I'd ever seen. -

Yes, Simon and Garfunkel. Great song. -
No "Canadian differences". All first gen F-bodies sold in Canada were built in The States so they came off the same assembly lines as those sold in the U.S.

I understand. It was just a joke, a play on words from what popped into my head because of the way you worded your first post. ?? -

Can-Con replied to Miatatom's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Great song David but I think I'd like a bit more variety. Don't think I could just listen to one song all the time. -

"American Top 40" shows from the earlier 1/2 of the '80s. I found a site that has all the shows available for streaming.? Kasey was a great DJ and listening to his shows takes me back to my teen years. I guess it's kinda like "comfort food" for the ears. ? -
Blue valance panel is from a '68 Thunderbird.

That's what I'm getting at Alan. I figured the reason for only one set of wheels is there was only room on the tree for one set.

Those stamped steel slots are only in the '30 Phaeton, the others are the aluminum style. The Steel ones are also in the Beer Wagon. But, like I said, I don't have a set to compare to the ones in the hot rod kits. But, looking at the poor pics of the red '66 I can find, the slots in those wheels do look slightly bigger. Too bad to loose them. I guess there must only be enough room for one set of wheels on the chrome tree.

Those slotted mags everyone is going nuts about ,, aren't they exactly the same ones in the "Early Iron" series '36, '32, 34 Fords, and last seen in the '29 roadster pickup in the '90s? ,, Oh, and the Tom Daniels Street Vette? I've never had the kit so I don't have one to compare. Nice wheels but they don't seem to be that hard to come by. Maybe you should get some in latex, Casey?

We used to use hot water heater skins for patching floors. Heavy gage and well coated so it didn't rust out fast. -
The Sweet Tee has the 6 spoke wheels like in the "Dragon Wagon" ,,aka "Circus Wagon". [could have sworn I had posted this last night. ?]

Can-Con replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hey, one of the more popular car model guys on Youtube has a video about JoHan car kits. First image you see in the video is this pic I took of one of my best flea market scores. Imagine my surprise at seeing that ! ? -
1/25 AMT 1966 Mustang GT -- Original Annual & Modified Reissue
Can-Con replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I've wanted one of these for quite a while but I knew I'd probably be bidding against you Snake. ? BUT, if anyone has an AMT '70 Mustang that needs some TLC they would part with, let me know. , , even if it's missing the interior and chassis.- 216 replies
