Did Monogram ever use metal axles
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)

Just can not get myself to paint over what it came in,they did a good job back then with the molding process. I have a 90s truck kit molded in a metallic color and it's horrible so it needs painted.

After 50 plus years it's starting to go together,it's going to be a minimum paint build since I like the color it came in and the only paint will be used are on the engine,seat inserts and other small details. Still need to find a engine since it was missing half of the stock engine and no optional parts,this is the 60s coupe/convertible kit.

This project has parts from the 60s,70s and 90s. The body and frame are from the 90s and the top and hood are from the 70s,the interior and custom grille are from the 60s. The engine is from the mid 70s 41 Lincoln Continental kit.

I have others I would like to build first so I will think about it and consider it to do in the future. -

Might be a little harder to make the hood open then I was hoping. -
I wás looking at it in the store and looks to not have a engine and just a plate,so does it have a opening hood and are there any inner fenders or other under hood details. I do have a few FE engines that could be used in it.

Flat paint availability
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was looking at the regular stores.and looking mainly at spray paints. -
I have a beater build in the works and wanting to use flat paint for a faded look,I can get flat black and maybe white but looking for other flat colors and have not found any yet. Can get satin but wanting flat.
-
I am thinking about not painting it and just add some detail to the interior to match the color the body is molded in,it is missing half of the stock engine parts so that is why I am going to try to find the hopped up flathead from the 70s version.
-
If I can not find a engine from the 70s and newer kits I do have the Olds engine from the early Monogram 32 Ford coupe kit.

Picked up unbuilt mid 60s kit and it's going to get built,it was missing the optional parts so I am going to get some parts from the 70s and later kits. Most likely will be built as a stock looking convertible but with a hot engine under the hood.

Picked up the early 60s Monogram 36 Ford kit off eBay today,it's unbuilt and open and probably missing parts but will use parts off the later kits to build. I bought it hoping there will be some parts I could use on the 34 unbuilt kit that I want to use only all 60s on it.

Something came up and could not use the tires I had originally planned on using and should be done soon.

1947 Chevy electric truck for sale.

It's nice until the battery catches fire then it's time to burn to the ground,the fire departments need to invest in equipment that will but out battery fires much quicker. -
Paint sticker shock
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Went in the hobby shop and got one can of Testors spray paint and two small bottles of brush paint and was a little over 16 dollars with tax,joked with the owner that those days of a 35 cent bottle of paint are long gone. -
Is it possible to match this blue
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Found a can of Testors dark blue and it looks close. -
It was given to me so I am going to do something with it,front suspension was missing and found what looks to be a Camaro front suspension I had in the parts bin and going to use the optional 413 from the 49 Merc. Removed the running boards and do have the tail lights and smoother optional bumpers coming off Ebay and debating on grabbing a better interior. Its going to be built as a work in progress with primered and other color body parts.
