I had a similar issue, I just glued one side at a time.

Well, it should look like this... Guess mine doubles as an AC compressor. LOL

AMT 72 Chevy truck has what looks like an A/C pump as well. Instructions just reference it as air pump. I detailed one out and did not research and made what is called out as the alternator the A/C pump. The AC pump would be more on the side of the engine to be correct though.

I need to jump in here rather than starting a new topic. I have recently painted a body and wish to clear it after the decals are on. The body was primed then painted with Rustoleum Gloss protective enamel (not 2X). I wish to clear it but it is 2 tone blue and white. Unfortunately the blue was the key because the enamel was the only one that matched my prefered color. #1 Will 2x clear go over the paint already applied? #2 Does the 2x yellow? #3 What can I cover enamel with that will not yellow? Future shine? Tamyia? Thanks in advance

Great input. I have some extras from the sheet, maybe I will use on a scrap body and experiment......

Okay, I will need to do some digging then. These were old Chimneyville decals, if that makes a difference.

YAY!!! I am the winner!!! Where is my chicken dinner? LOL!!!

I used some aftermarket decals on a build. Had the body, paint and decals done and it was put away for almost a year. Well, it was dusty so I gave it a quick rinse with cold water and the decals moved. I was able to get them back in place and put the body in a case to keep it clean. Will setting solution keep them in place or should I clear the body, or both? Thanks

My next question is, who is gonna build one of these "masterpieces" in scale? ?

The exhaust is the bumper.... or is it the bumper is the exhaust? Automotive multi-tasking

I think this one will put this post to rest. So bad I cannot find a photo of it before it was neglected!! This is a 1964 Corvette originally done by George Barris.

Uhhhhhh......

Ohhh boy... I looked up Les Dunham...... Behold! http://www.madle.org/duncaba04.jpg There are more, but my eyes are hurting.

Ya know, just for giggles, here is the description of the 'Vette...... Enjoy I was inspired back in the day by an artist known as Les Dunham who had fabricated his own series of Corvette to stand out. With the inspiration of his style, I created my own and this is the result. The Caballista has a stock chassis, motor, interior, and much more. Almost everything on this car has been left stock except for the body which I fabricated out of fiberglass. It has 33,000 miles on it, most of which were highway/expressway driven. Everything works splendidly and as it should. Due to its age, I had a certified Chevrolet mechanic replace a handful of parts with OEM/Genuine parts such as the following: (upgraded) 9 leaf spring, all universal joints, brand new brake calipers with pads and rotors, wheel bearings, alternator, battery, and other small odds and ends. The mechanic also took the liberty of replacing the clutch pack and bearings inside of the rear differential (this year of Corvette had a lot of power which ate through those plates with age.) All four tires are new Goodyear's with the original aluminum wheels.

You can own this beauty right now for the paltry sum of $20,000....... Go get it boys!!! Please, no pushing or shoving.

I was working on the AMT Chevy Rescue van last year. and well, I did something I should not have, I filled the sunroof score with Testors glue and allowed it to dry a few weeks. Some heavy sanding, filler, spot fill primer, I wet sanded and painted. I sanded and buffed the finish and she looked great so I did my decals. Duplicolor primer and touch up paint was used. Well, we started some home renovations and my kits were put away. Pulled out the van this evening and "BAM" the sunroof outline ghosted badly. Now, I can mask and repaint the roof, but I must figure out how to keep the ghosting from coming back. Initial thought was sand it all down and use polyester 2 part filler on it. (Previously I used spot putty) Then I thought maybe just sand it down as flat as possible and then polyester. Unfortunately I must be super careful because my decals are obsolete. Any suggestions?

Welcome. Nice builds

How about the movie "The Giant Gila Monster? I know we are talking about something totally different, but hey, they are cool models none-the-less...

I swear one of the Christopher Reeves Superman movies has a 1/8 Revell 32 Ford in a scene, but it was to be a real car

whoa!

Very cool. Busy place too!!!!

Super Sharp

Double post was an oops.

Do not forget about the Starlift option they had trying to make the car sleeker for NASCAR.. Remember, they raced convertibles too and this was to be an "ad on" to the convertible stock car. Too bad for a street car the rear windows wouldn't match the roof.

My other truck and used as such.... 1,960 lbs of steel pipe cut offs are in the bed. Scrap yard was shocked when I weighed in.
