Progress or stupidity? You decide...
Sledsel replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I got really tired of a**holes coming at me with their xenon high beams, flash mine and they would ignore me. Whelp...... a pair of 125 watt lights from a combine wired into my '71 Mercury and if someone is running their high beams to long, I let them know. They do not ignore me anymore. -
AMT Slammers? Anyone build these
Sledsel replied to Nick Winter's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Street Fury can be had fairly cheap on the ModelRoundUp OOP page. Thought about getting one to graft the roof on the 58 Belvedere kit. -
I will toss in my 2 cents. Newer trucks are not for me, I am a Ford guy and will not buy a truck newer than 1996. 5.8 with an AOD.... yup, 30 years old. Basic design is proven also as the gearset design is based on the Ford "X" automatic transmissions used during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. No cam phasers, no trans issues, no over abundance of sensors, good ole split I beam. Biggest issue I have had with my current truck was a slightly seeping water pump. $40 bucks and an hour of work and rolling fine. I have had a few of these and basically drove them into the ground, but never had engine or trans problems.

I was kinda shocked to see the Multi-Maverick and F150 Lightning is OOP already. Along with a few others that seem fairly recent to me. I noticed this on ModelRoundUp. Ended up grabbing the Maverick for less than $20. There are some other good deals to be had also.

Hopefully we do not lose another....... Drag City Casting eotpdorSsne1 gfi4c62t9gip1fl0t gc011bl9a1te1:AMle4Srifg 8imlhth 2 · Is anyone seeing the product posts I make EVERY day? Or, is FB succeeding in keeping these posts from all of you because I am not dropping $140.00 a week on advertising? If you are not seeing the product posts I make daily and you are one of the few people who actually follow my business page because of what I offer in resin then I would kindly suggest you start visiting the page more frequently before I am forced to shut the business down. At this rate (2 small sales in 2 weeks) through FB is not sustainable or even worth my time keeping this page up. Say goodbye to the daily random picture posts too since there won't be a reason to do that any longer either.

Round 2 Announcements as of 9/12/25 from Stevens Intl.
Sledsel replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The 32 sedan is a must have. Yes, I know Revell makes a nice one but I love my AMT kits. Both 57's are on the radar although I probably have 6 of the Fords in my stash. -

Super clean build!!! -
Kenworth Challenge Mixer
Sledsel replied to Rbray47's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks super!!! -
I sanded and reshaped the window openings where the red line is. The door is kicked up in the rear. Mine came out looking much better but the build is not finished. No filling was needed as there is enough material.

Nice job.
-
You are 100% correct, it is all for fun. As for a bulge, I get that too. Sanding and misting will work fine, I really do not think decanting is needed but definitely safer to avoid issues. This past week I had a similar issue on a Mustang roof and did exactly what you are doing without the decanting. Luckily for me it worked out! Happy building

1973 Chevelle NASCAR - MPC
Sledsel replied to Technics's topic in Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Looks great!!! The experiment was a success in my opinion. FYI, it is a '72 Chevelle. 73's got bigger. -
Great Looking Ford!!

Sweet. I like the single exhaust for some reason

Sledsel replied to Michael F's topic in Model Cars
Cool. Great use of "extra's" -
Very nice builds!!!!
-
The stock ones? PM me, I have them.
-
Great looking build!!!! I just cannot bring myself to do a beater or weathered car but I sure like seeing them.
-
Great color. Paint looks as if came out really smooth although it looks a bit heavy. Could be the pics though. Chrome is gonna pop on that red for sure!

Thinkful Wishing about Round2 Models, future Kits.

The Revell kit is off around the grill and headlights. Too flat looking compared to the 1:1

Well, after seeing much complaining on a FB page of the AMT 72 Nova I had to grab one. I tend to do that when people say how terrible a kit is, just so i can see if it is as horrible as people say. Well it did not take long to get the body ready to paint. Some mold line issues but nothing serious to me. Attaching the fenders was no big deal either, but of course done out of sequence of the instructions. Doing a quick build real close to out of the box. So far I do not see what the belly aches about this kit are. So, this is what I accomplished since Friday along with other sub assemblies.
