  1. I love digging thru old parts!!! Always think "wow, I forgot about this" You are doing a great job on this kit I agree with espo, the rear looks upside down to me also
  2. Very cool. Great start on it Also saw that rendering and thought about this build. I like the rear spoiler, but the top is on backwards. Angled part should be to the rear (FYI)
  3. Very cool concept even though the big wheels are not my cup of tea either. Keep up the good work
  4. I have most of the Revell parts pack engines. Multiples of the 427. My only gripe is the 427's valve covers. I need to get a resin casting kit and make some better ones. The old AMT 64 Ford and the 66 Fairlane 427 have much better covers. Other than that, I really like the ones I have built
  5. I am workin on one finally. Trying to correct some of it, some I need to ignore because I do not want to get in too deep. Hope to get pics posted when done, can't do a WIP, cuz I am am too slow.
  6. I almost got bit like that, hit the "buy it now" on a few items. Saw invoice and said the same. Sent a message to seller asking for an updated shipping (his listing said he combined) No response from him so I did not finish transaction.
  7. I could retire after prices went crazy.. About 400 unbuilts in the basement
  8. Looks Great. Always liked that kit.
  9. So far so good, gonna mess with it more later.
  10. Great looking build. Have a straight side shot to see the axle location better?
  11. Looks really cool!!!! Too bad you did not have some M.A.S.H. 4077 decals. BTW, on the next one, the plug wires actually go it the top of the valve covers on a cammer. Just do not put your valve covers on the wrong side like I did! (square end front, beveled rear)
  12. Right side I rubbed for a few minutes, left I did not. There is a difference. Will do it more and update
  13. HOLY SMOKES!!!! I put some bleach in a little bowl, dipped my finger in and rubbed the decal lightly. Kept dipping to keep it wet, rinsed with cold water, dabbed dry with a paper towel and the yellowing is almost gone. Needed to do it a bit longer I will try to get a pic, but my camera sucks
  14. I had them yellow even when cleared.
  15. Maybe I will just brush bleach on it! LOL
  16. I have had a project on the back burner about 6 months. Well, I pulled it out the other day, and the decals have turned yellow (kit is white, so it stands out) They were fine when put away. Luckily the body is not clear coated yet. Has anybody experienced this and have a solution? I had a kit packed away for a long time and a large decal looked foggy. You could see the entire decal on the kit (this one was not white) Well, I used Microsol or Microset on that one. Sat and bushed over and over, soaked it good, worked the edges with the brush and it cleared up. Thinking of trying the same on this kit. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance
  17. Cool! Looks like one i drove in high school too!
  18. Looking nice. You want me to search for the cruisers? I think the connie is too far from the trunk still. Could be me, just looks it tho. I like the Rancheros. For as old as that tool is, it is more correct than the current Revell 57's. I am trying to locate some glue bomb chopped Rancheros to use the sides on the Del Rio. Piecing the sides to correct is time consuming
  19. Floyd, I may have a set of the Cruiser skirts for this kit. If I have them, they look like these I'd need to dig tho.
  20. Cool, looks to be a really nice kit. Have any issues you wish to share?
  21. Cool and different
  22. Looks great!
  23. Good looking build!!! Love the yellow! How is the scale on it? I'd like one to display with my 66 Galaxie.
  24. That is really really sharp!!!!!!! Great job!!!!
  25. Okay, being a Ford guy, flaws in Fomoco kits jump out at me, so enlighten me, why does this Camaro look weird to me? I love seeing old builds get redone. Keep rolling with it
