  1. I may eventually make a list of what I have and post if anyone wants any.
  2. Those are the wheels the S&H Torino needs
  3. Try to fit the Monogram NASCAR Thunderbird chassis under it. That chassis slips under a lot of other bodies easily.
  4. Looks nice
  5. That is why I do not use flat rate boxes unless I am going to weigh it down.
  6. Bummer..... Maybe retooling the old custom parts?
  7. Good luck! They can be tedious when you have to match the paint to the decal. Been there.
  8. The Pepsi Chevelle and Allison Mercury were out.... I see the Bud More 72 Torino as a viable release. AMT 57 Ford I would guess Eventually the early 90's Ford and Chevy trucks from AMT Monogram Ford F350 Dually Revell 70 Torino Cobra All those not been out in awhile
  9. Sweet. I'd like to build one, but I am not big on resin
  10. Worth the wait. Came out great!
  11. Wow... after all I read about this kit, I want one now! Super looking build!
  12. I have the Ertl reissue of the Barracuda. I did not like the engine compartment, molded exhaust and rear. I cut and trimmed a Dukes Charger chassis for it. Gas tank not correct, but it looks better now. I should finish it.
  13. Maybe the foil on the trim at the bottom is giving that illusion. I'll send my bumper guards to you can check them.
  14. Chuck, try placing the Johan rear bumper in the S&H tail panel hole.... Hmmmm.... add 72 front and hood, have a formal roof.
  15. Yea, correcting the S&H gives us another dilema. The S&H bumper really needs to be tighter to the body anyways, but I am entering "the rivetcounter zone"
  16. Yea, looks better built. I may take one and just do the window area and see how it looks. Gonna remove the bumper guards on mine tho. I like the look without and do not like the way Revell did those.
  17. I agree... just go away from directions and assemble the body first.
  18. Well, I sanded the primer down to the plastic on my 68 Shelby hood. The hole outline is my "ghost" I had filled the bottom with super glue before I even started. I may use some plastic cement on the top then re-sand
  19. Looking forward to this ones progress. I have this kit "semi-started" I cut the floor out of mine so I could assemble the body and fill the seams. Detailing looks great.
  20. Built it looks pretty decent. Good job
  21. Looking good. Did you cut out the side decal to locate the white/red areas? These are really nice kits
  22. Keep us posted Chuck, so far you are the eyes. I am in no way trying to stir the pot.... just asking. IMO, these are issues with the accuracy and ability to correct. I will gladly fix, but not redesign the wheel
  23. okay, adding my 2 cents in here, and thats about all it is worth. The Revell looks better that the resin, I know the front of the resin is too "clunky" looking also. As for the Revell window openings, just removing the chrome at the top of the door and C pillar will help, and maybe a smidge more. Do not worry about the chrome anyways, it was optional for the Gran Torino package and not on the S&H cars (maybe on some ordered. but not the movie or series cars) That was on the Elite and Broughams tho The S&H cars had a thin stainless piece with the window whiskers Another easy fix in the lower front fender. The Revell looks straight from the tire to the front bumper. It should slope up from tire to bumper. Little sanding, all is good. Overall the shape is pretty good, and alot of lil kinks can be addressed with some sanding and reshaping. Rockers, not sure, but I will try to address it once in hand. Looking at the above pic I posted, if the rockers and rear quarter are corrected (rolled in) is the bumper out of whack then since it angles like the quarter? Chuck?
  24. I'm lovin' it
  25. Those wheels worked for on the Chevy/GMC trucks though
