Might be the ugliest wheels I've ever seen, and who are the guys that look like they are dancing on the trunk?

OK, now I get it.

A Ford Courier For $54.90? Is that a misprint, or has Amt decided that they don't want to sell kits anymore?

That's what I'm talking about, I like them both.

Since the Lancers were kind of an economy car, why not try some steel wheels and early 60s dog dishes?

If you want to sell your models, you might try Model Car Market. There is a link to the site in the Links and Advertisers section below.

Could you use the hardtop from the 65 GTO on this Olds?

And it doesn't really help much anyway, the still look kind of weird. I think if I wanted the stock hubcaps, I'd steal a set out of the original AMT 57, but I never really liked those wheel covers much.

I'm not really into the "Pro Touring" thing, but this Camaro might change my mind! Paint, colors, interior, engine, wheels/tires, all perfect!

I couldn't have said it better. It looks like the 55s I remember seeing back in the 60s and 70s!

Your Chevy looks really good, but i never liked the wheels/tires in this kit, they just don't look right to me. If I ever get around to building the one I have, I'll use something different.

I'm with you! I think those Stude pickups are COOL!

It looks like it's really scared, or surprised.

I mean....at the end of the day, it is what it is. Know what I'm sayin'?

Hey Steve, I wasn't even looking for it and found it by accident. I also found some tan that I think could be mixed with the black to make that hood insulation. I'd be glad to send them both, just PM your address to me.

I might have some black somewhere. I haven't used it for so long that it might take some serious digging to find it. I'll look for it and let you know.

I think he just forgot to cut out the front wheel opening like the great job he did on the rear.

It doesn't say he's a pro model builder, maybe he's a pro wrestler. I love that 57 ford, never seen a car doing a wheelstand standing still!

Steve, I really like that under hood insulation. I'm gonna have to try that! I noticed that HL has some new powders with that salt & pepper look that would work great for that.

Yep, Steve that is right, make sure your paint is still wet. I actually have the paint in one hand, and embossing powder in the other, and as soon as the paint is applied, I dump a lot of the powder on and forget about it for at least a couple hours. After that, just tip your floor over and give it a little tap, and you get a perfectly smooth carpet. I'll never use flocking again, in fact, I've got several different colors that I'll probably toss out unless somebody wants it.

I think you do that with flocking so it doesn't clump. It's not needed for embossing powder.

I mask off the area that I don't want carpeted, then spray a coat of paint the same color as powder, and dump on the powder right away, before the paint starts to dry, let it dry, then pour off excess powder, and you've got carpet. I've done it this way many times, and it works perfectly. Do it on a sheet of newspaper, and you can just pour the extra powder back into the jar, and it will last forever.

Yeah, I remember that now. I think he should be watching "how to" videos, not making them.

I thought that there was something wrong with the instructions. I saw a YouTube Video of this car being built, Right On Replicas, I think(not Chris), and they followed the directions, and the wheels looked ridiculous. I couldn't believe that someone who did build videos couldn't tell that this was so WRONG!

I think that grill is in the Revell 49 Merc.
