Anybody ever seen or heard of this kit ?
Sledsel replied to cobraman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have seen pics of the Black Beauty and was not impressed by it at all. Even if I really wanted a Black Beauty, I would not pay what the kit above is bid at. -
Kits they never issued- but should have
Sledsel replied to Paul Payne's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I thought this subject was for kits shown and or announced that never made the light of day. -
Yup.... so I am holding a little hope for the 71 Mustang
-
No, not the Mustang... Chopped 48 Ford, 49 Merc and 57 Fords come straight to my mind
-
Very nice... i like the way incorporated the side scoops from the 58 Chevy.
-
Looks awesome! I have a few stashed, now I HAVE TO do a drag version. Thanks.
-
I sure hope you are right. I have a bunch of Revell "parts kits" that I couldn't or didn't want to correct the flaws.
-
Very tastefully done. A lot of sparkle to that paint for sure. I always like your dash detailing. Good job.

My Model "A" Dilemma

It is a resin piece from Australia. 'Bout 10 bucks delivered. -
My Model "A" Dilemma

Right now I am at a crossroads. Not sure what to do with this kit, I know it is fairly rare and not sure if I can do it justice. Tackle it and do my best, or move it along to someone else? Not sure. I tend to want to change things too much, and usually, the things I mess with can be replaced. I know I cannot do stock, that is something I have never done. I am thinking a period hot rod, but nothing that ruins the integrity of the original kit. and try to use vintage kit parts (or parts of kits reissued over and over) Thinking 56 Ford Y block, Chrome reverse w/big and littles and a non metallic paint. Maybe blue with black fenders. Any thoughts? Going in the purple pond while I decide what to do.

Looks kinda weird and cool all at once.... Keep going!

Well, Bye Bye money......

No problem, I just know most of us try to be as accurate as possible, especially with a scratch build or conversion. Just notice you are from Cleveland... I am 40 minutes from downtown.

Another one of my favorite stock cars (71 Cyclone/Montego, 73 Montego GT and the 76 Cougar) Gonna watch this. As an FYI, the 1:1 hood for the Montego GT and Cougar interchange, so you will have the same shapes and peak, just no scoops.

*Model Car Preference*
Sledsel replied to Zippi's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I tend to go for anything non-import up to the late 70's, with a few 80's cars and trucks splashed in. Rarely stock, but as minimal as a tire/wheel upgrade. A few of mine -
Hey, where you get the AC unit? I could use a few of those.
-
Looks good. Personally, Granny should have had a Hemi! LOL
-
OHHH NOOOO......... THE POPO!!!!
-
I rather like it... Smooth

Favorite/greatest body style ever?
Sledsel replied to Venom's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A lot of opinions, differences and beautiful cars in this thread. In my opinion, nothing can improve the looks of the 1964 Galaxie 500. It is the car I see as perfect in every way. -
Same old $300 Jordan gluebomb.
Sledsel replied to lordairgtar's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Why is this one $300, but he sold other un-built or sealed Renwal's for half that? -
Looks good other than the hood. Wonder what happened? I checked mine and it fits well.
