Man... I want that Mustang!!!! My store does not have it

That's no stinking Rat Rod........... Too nice to be a rat.

How is the size difference? Do it!!!! It would be cool.

very nice builds!

Favorite driver. Excellent build

I got this.....

Looking really good. Kudos

The cammer in the Revell Willys truck is pretty rough though. Hmmm.... I am doing body corrections on a Del Rio, Maybe a Cammer is in order for it. Sleeper style

Mike you took it as intended. It was meant as an FYI. Since the wiring is done, I'd leave it. That was my dilema. The engine looks good. Keyser, I was no by no means picking on the build. I will point out a mistake to someone on an unfinished build just so they can know for future reference or correct if they wish. It is not meant as "rivet counting" and I attempt to make that clear We all build at different levels, and if I make a mistake on a build because I am unfamiliar with it, I hope someone points it out. That's how we learn sometimes.

On par with the Lincoln and Cord, both of which I have. May as well try this one out too. Not sure if I will make it stock or street rod it. Thank You!

Looking good.

Anybody comes across the Hot Rod Mustang funny car, I'd sure like to get one. THX

Ooooo... you made the same boo boo I did. Valve covers backwards. The more square end goes in front to clear the cam gears in the head. Someone pointed this out to me on a build, sticks in my head now. Engine looks great though. Wish they did the water pump better though. I never had a big issue with this engine. Only thing I ever needed to do is reshape the front cover.

That snapper Willys is sharp. Yea, AMT has a great one, but this is a great detail painting build slump buster. I may get another The Dodge 330 is the earlier issue I think. Check to see if it is bench or bucket seats. Box shows buckets, so I skipped it. Let us know what you find

Thanks.... much appreciated.

If thats the curbside kit, it looks pretty darn good.

John, how about a review on that Auburn? Thinking about getting one

I got the Nicholson 61 Chevy, Maverick Dodge and the Snap Willys panel today. Going back this weekend if someone without an Ollies wants something.

Thanks, I'll have to look at it when in hand. The side filler pieces are not even with the bumper anyway, so that is not a big deal. As for cutting and filling.... it is plastic, we do our best to hack it to what we want it to be. LOL. Check my Correcting the 57 Ford thread. Cut sand, glue fill.... Had a plan of sorts and winged it. HAHAHA

From what I gather on the pics, the flat area that the bumper mounts to would need to be cut off, filler sanded and then the flat area glued back in place, further back. Is this what you mean?

long ago I was looking at a vintage kit at a meet, kit was reasonable, but still on the pricey side. The kit was sealed and I wanted to see contents. Seller said, if you buy it you can do what you want. Well, long story short, I said I would buy it, open it right there and if the contents were not as they should be, I wanted a refund. Seller refused, stating opening ruins the value. I walked away

I saw the fender issue also, and as stated, easy fix. I do not have the kit in hand yet and my observations have been from looking at pics. I'll definitly have to look at the bumper spacing once in-hand. What if the filler panel is sanded and the frame just trimmed a little? Just wondering Toss on some Cleveland heads from a Nascar kit. The block in this kit is definitly of Cleveland design. ( See the build thread on this kit) Modify the kit intake, use the old standby "Cobra" style air cleaner. It does look to go together easily, almost as if it started life as a snap kit

I was looking on EB the other day and saw a "Vintage LOOK!" sealed Allison Cyclone, starting bid $80. Next listing was the Allison Cyclone vintage art release for a buy it now of $21.99. Which one would you buy? LOL I scored an Glidden Chief Auto Parts Thunderbird, AMT 70 Mach I, Johan Marlin and a Johan Promo Maverick and a flea market. Total for all 3, $40. Deals are there.

Be super safe. Put them in styrofoam coolers. Put the cooler in a bigger box with mothballs. Keeps the vermin out, models stink free in cooler

Yup, we all have different techniques. I like the red/gray cuz during sanding it helps locate high/low spots also. Odd how you prime a dark blue body with gray and it does not look blueish tho.
