  1. Why does my local hobby distributor say not available yet? Is it my location?? Im in Buffalo NY
  2. Hi Tim, Thanks for the credit on the mention. Its actually more to it than just the promo post tabs at the rear. The whole glass is about an 1/8 inch too short on overall length. You can somewhat remedy the situation by cutting free the rear glass and the front glass (remove the flat divider bars) The front glass still presents an issue when gluing it in, even when you separate them. The bottom (cowl vent area) is too deep, so the glass rests on the sunvisor area, but is too long by the time you get to the cowl vent, so you need to trim off about a 1/16 or more so the interior tub fits in.
  3. This thing is a mess. The glass doesnt fit at all, there is sometthing wrong with the way the interior tub fits over the back glass, so you thave to cut the tops of the rear wheel tubs off to get the chassis to fit. I remember this kit from back in the day not being so difficult, hmmm... any thoughts?
  4. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME BRO!!!!!!
  5. Welcome Ryan!! Im from Buffalo.

  7. I have a set of Starion wheels i had 3D printed, available if your interested. PM me
  8. I have a Modelhaus 68 Coronet right here in front of me. It is a direct re-pop of the 68 annual kit, and contains the same chassis that is used in the General Lee Charger kit. I am using the 70 Coronet chassis and doghouse, and highly suggest doing the same.
  9. My decal was the same way too
  10. I got my 4 kits today, and the chrome trees have issues. I tried to take a pic of it, but it wont show up. It looks like the clear on the chrome is fogged up.
  11. Is that a seperate headliner i spy in the parts layout??
  12. SWEET! Nice job!
  13. She looks like it sits a tad bit high. I will be altering its stance when i do mine, other than that, i absolutely LOVE this kit, and am excited about getting a case of em.
  14. pics or it never happened. lol, just kidding. candy red is how ill do mine.
  15. I buy up every AMT original issue (actually the only issue) 1965 Dodge Coronet "Hemi Charger" i can find. I have 6 of them, mint in boxes, that will never get built, because they are worth around $200 each.
  16. looks killer!!!!! dont forget to notch your side trim where the door lines are.
  17. dangit, broken images, where are the pics!!!
  18. wow, im in love!!
  19. Oooh, i like that box art!!
  20. sounds like the perfect winter build!!
  21. I use them alot, and even with applying them to bare plastic. They are not a HOT laquer. I never have any thick appearance. If you use the clear, you can buff to your hears content, i have never burned thru.
  22. I have one ill never build, if you want it, its available. PM me
  23. Terrible. Slab sided, and the roof is all wrong. Looks chopped and squashed. I have a real 77 to compare it to, and believe me, its bad. Your better off with the Warbird kit.
  24. Well, Im back at it full steam. I have a friend 3d printing wheels for me, pics coming soon!!
  25. Blue 3m is for latex, wall house paint. Use the 3m lime green tape. If you can, put down a pinstripe line with a tape like "Jammy Dog" and then use any old tape to tape against it. You need to use a good quality fine line for your break line.
