Go Mango is not metalflake, try Testors Extreme Lacquer Flaming Orange.

I store them in an old photo album with the clear magnetic pages. It keeps them airtight, and doesn't seem to damage them in any way. It's also very easy to flip through to find what your looking for.

Krylon has a paint called "Make it Suede" that looks a lot like cloth.

Revell could convert the Honcho pickup into one of these, couldn't they?

How To Build an Engine: 1. Place all parts in plastic bag. 2. Add plenty of glue. 3. Close bag, and shake well. 4. Dump out completed engine.

Yeah, I want one! Not an $80 resin kit, but this one in this box!

I agree too. I like to build models that look like something you might see at a 1/1 car show, and of all of the 1/1 car shows I've been to, I've never asked the owner of a car to flip it over so I could see if the chassis looked right.

Great to see that 65 Fairlane stocker. That is one I've never had, but always wanted. When will it be available?

I like that color. What is it?

Thanks, I hope they reissue that and the 65 Fairlane. Those are the ones that I never had.

Is the tooling for that 64 Galaxie mod stocker still intact, or was it backdated to the stock version?

Why does it have an entertainment center stuck to the back?

Looks like the real thing!

Where did you add the plastic for the interior?

What happened to the 66 Impala modified stocker? That's the one I'm waiting for, the Chevelle was done not that long ago. And how about the 65 Fairlane, is that even a possibility?

Those are both good ideas, but I'm hoping to do something other than a Chevelle.

I've tried several bodies, and so far the Revell 57 Chevy snap kit looks best. The wheelbase is almost dead on. I think I could make a cool shelf model by just cutting a hole in the hood for the carbs to stick thru, and if you wanted to do a lot more work(I don't)you could make a flip front end. I'm still going to wait and see if the 67 GTO goes on clearance at HL. I'm not even willing to pay the coupon price for that mess.

I really like this kit. No opening doors, but the trunk does open.

I might do that, but I'm hoping to find a body that I can just drop onto the chassis, so I can use the engine/trans., suspension, etc.

Now, THAT ain't a bad idea! I've got that 57 snapper that I bought just for the wheels for another build, and haven't touched it since. That body is really nice, and would look very cool as a pro street. I will check that out. Thanks Snake.

I want to use the tubbed chassis from the Chevelle. I think the wheelbase of the two cars should be the same, so I would use the entire Chevelle chassis, engine/trans, wheels/tires, etc. I don't know if I'll even try this, as I don't have the GTO kit yet. I'm waiting to see if Hobby Lobby puts it on clearance because I've had it in the past, and I don't think it's worth more than about 7 bucks(if that). I've built the AMT pro street Chevelle, and really like it, and I have an extra one that I just want to find another kit to bash it with, so I don't have two of the same thing. I thought the GTO would be a good candidate, since it's such a lousy kit that I wouldn't mind throwing most of it in the trash, and it's the same size car. I might just use another similar size car, Olds 442 maybe, to Pro Street. Suggestions are welcome!

I don't think any have yellowed, but it's hard to see inside a built model.

WOW! Where you been hiding?

Cool stuff, but for some reason that Smart Car just don't fit in with the others.

Nice, my 1st car was a 63 Ford with that square roof. I'd like to build one, but I don't know where I'd find the body to do it.
