  1. Ugh... was there with a 66 Marlin. They used an entire tube of glue on it I think.
  2. Another $60 delivery from my online honey hole......
  3. I saw this too and was wondering what was mostly lost and now retooled. Development? Hmmmmmm..... 66 Galaxie chassis with a new 67 Galaxie body and interior???? Please please please LOL
  4. Been searching for a grill for my car for months with no luck unless I wanted to pay $600+ for an NOS. I located 2 broken grills and decided I'd try to make one. It was pretty successful IMO. A bunch of cutting, super glue, epoxy, some extra bracing and I am pretty pleased. Anyone else have their model experience benefit them on another project? If wondering, the car is a 71 Monterey 2 door hardtop.
  5. Found these at an online shop Saturday, arrived yesterday. $62 for the pair, delivered. Thought I did well.
  6. LOL.... Yea, I recall that now. Well if you go styrene, I have a stash of 66 Galaxie hoods
  7. Nice job on this. It looks great. This kit was my very first big rig and I enjoyed it so much it got me hooked. I have heard many knock this kit because it is pretty much a snap kit, but in my opinion it is a great kit, especially to get your feet wet. I am gonna build another for a special build I have planned. Look forward to seeing your next one
  8. Looks great. Love the color. Your skills are constantly improving. Keep building
  9. This build is looking great. I have a similar build going with a resin sedan I got from Ed Jr. at Drag City. Personally I would ditch that resin hood and used a kit hood with the 66 Galaxie bubble grafted to it.
  10. Was just stating my opinion. Personally most of the Foose wheels are ugly to me.
  11. I watched a few Overhaulin' shows and if more than a few of the cars I saw finished were mine, I'd have been beyond pissed off. Never saw a build on there that the wheel and tire package would have made it out of the garage if it were my car.
  12. I for one can see it is the Revell Merc, and as for engine, the FE is a great choice over the ho-hum "everyone does a Chevy" thought. Kit-wise I would recommend the Foose/Roush engine from the 56 Ford truck, Revell 64 Thunderbolt engine (this gives option of automatic or 4 speed) or the Moebius 427 from the 65 Cyclone. All these can be found on Ebay. As an FYI, there was never a 427 Boss..... but there was the 427 SOHC (Moebius Cyclone) For those that do not know, this is an FE also, just with overhead cams. The Boss 429 is a 385 series engine (429/460) Foose/Roush engine Revell Thundebolt 427 65 Cyclone SOHC
  13. And it can be had in 1/8 scale!!!! Then you can really see the mess
  14. In stock form I'd be ordering a case of Toronados.... This one, not so much, but I will get one to support Round2's efforts. There are a few of these on Ebay asking big bucks...
  15. Everything but the separate Galaxie was talked about in the previous Round2 videos (If I missed it, my bad) Glad to see as a separate kit, and do not care that it is only a curbside. I can fix that.
  16. Yea, it has. It just takes one grumbling about "old molds" I for one am tickled pink for these old kits. Newer ones are nice, more detailed but in many cases far from accurate. Pick your poison.
  17. Just a warning if you ever get the urge to build something "different" That's how it happened to me. LOL
  18. L o o o o o n g a g o........ I built this 40 Ford. Was so happy with the way it came out but now the mold lines on the front fenders just bother me. I keep thinking of a rebuild for it, but could never duplicate this paint job which I just love the way it came out. Sooooo..... it will just annoy me.
  19. Well, I will warn you, big rigs are addictive. Never built one but did about 2 years ago, now I have a shelf full waiting for me.
  20. Nice build and description of the build. Is there anything you don't build?
  21. Nice... you are a building fiend...... Keep it up
