  1. The top is a type of plexi-glass, not actual glass.
  2. Looking for one of the stock centers from the AMT '69 Chevelle Rally Wheels. I'd be interested in the set of 4 custom center if you used the stock ones already. These were cone shaped and in the convertible kits and some of the hardtop kits. Thank You
  3. The 54's have an interior cover that snaps in place. I had one made but have not installed the snaps yet. The male end of the snaps are in the car already tho.
  4. Well Mark, the wife asked me why I drive it so much? I told her I did not buy it to look at it. So far so good, no dings from the store. The Grinch is a 1954 Ford Skyliner. On really hot days it gets pretty warm inside with that glass roof though!! Those are the days all 4 windows are down and the vents are all open!!
  5. That's a down and dirty short tracker!
  6. My summer daily.... 239 Y Block runs smooth as silk
  7. These are old simple kits that build up nicely. Good Luck with it!!!
  8. I cannot believe I missed this post!!! Anybody used the block assembly from the AMT 66 Fairlane/67 Comet? It is a very nice piece. The parts that always bugged me on the AMT injected or carburated cammers was the lack of actual water pump. The molded in pumpish looking thing does not cut it. I sourced one from a Moebius 390 for my Falcon I am disappointed with spark plug hole #5 right above the cam gear. Sadly I did not correct this on my Falcon build.
  9. That is really looking good. The regulator and wiring is impressive.
  10. Love these Birds! These kits need a bit more detail and obviously you added them. Great color.
  11. Nice job! Love the color. That side trim is a booger but you did a great job with it.
  12. Super nice!!!
  13. Cut the shock towers out of a '69 Torino, cut the wheel front wells off the Mustang chassis plate and sand to fit it all together. Someone used to resin cast a shock tower like the Torino but I do not believe it is offered anymore.
  14. Looks good, Nice color combo
  15. Sledsel

    53 Chevy

    Nice color combo.
  16. There is a build you do not see often. Nice job on it.
  17. Nice job! Paint came out really well. Last 2 times I used that color it gave me fits! Glad it worked out for you.
  18. Cool build! I will be watching. I do not understand the "cannot be build stock" comment though. This kit is far more accurate than the Revell 57's
  19. Came out nice! I have this kit also, although simple it is pretty cool.
  20. That is SHARP!!!!
  21. Should mention which Walmart so others know
  22. I bought some Standard 8' beds and 6' beds from Section8hobbies. They offer trim options also. Nice pieces. Best is to Email them and tell them what you want. Sells on Evilbay also. https://www.section8hobbies.com/s/shop
  23. The Firefighter Mustang II pro stock has a windsor engine, but plain steel (chromed) Cleveland valve covers rather than the aluminum ones that are in the NASCAR kits and boss 351 Mustang. I might be able to hook you up with the parts to make a Cleveland
  24. As an FYI those are Clevors..... Cleveland heads on a Windsor block. They can pass as a Cleveland with a little work. Other than the ones mentioned, you can use the Revell '76 Torino block and add the Nascar heads. The crappy Revell kit has essentially a Cleveland block but uses Windsor heads. On a different note, I wish they had taken as much care creating the Torino as they did on the Mach I.
