Correction! I said I got my lighted tweezers from Harbor Freight but after reading the back of the package They're distributed by Tractor Supply, part #1081027. Website, www.TractorSupply.com Sorry for the mistake. Great advice on the tail lights on the Dodge Dart. Thanks!

Outstanding! Will try that as soon as I figure out how to get the tail light out without totally screwing them up. Thanks a bunch

OK. Step #1 on my 1962 Dodge Dart. Dis-assembly. Already hit a snag. Drilled out the pins that held the body to the frame. Easy! Everything came right apart EXCEPT the tail lights. Apparently I wasn't bashful with the glue on them. Don't want to mess them up anymore than I have to. They would almost impossible to find, So, Any suggestions on the best way to remove them? Also, need to strip the body. What should I use that won't screw up the plastic or the lines on the body? I've ordered a Lindberg, 1964 "Color Me Gone" Dodge for the frame. Will probably use the motor too. Johan Motor is not very detailed. Thank You in advance

Go on line to "Harbor Freight. Have 'em shipped right to your door "

Now to get started. This is the file for #1, 1962 Dodge Dart. I have plenty of rereference pics to use in the build

Next , I found these tweezers at Harbor Freight for $5.00. The light makes it great to see what you're working on. Also , as I was un-packing , I kept finding loose pieces to I had these small zip lock bags. I decided these would be great for those small pieces and pieces I was working on to keep them from getting messed up until I got to use them

Next is my work space. I need to get organized which I'm sure will happen as I go along

I started the thread "New Member, 1962 Dodge Dart", which is great for that one. The problem is I have 112 right now and don't want to start a new thread for each one , so, I'll just use this one for all of them. First thing , I get bored working on one model so I came up with a plan that I use to use that worked out great. I do one step at a time and move on to the next one. ie: I do step one on #1, Then step two on #1, then step one on #2 and keep adding as I go. I have a log to keep track and a file folder on each one with reference pictures and notes on what I was doing.

Where would I find "Purple Power"?

Wow! Thanks. That will make it a lot easier! Great tip! Knew coming here would work out!

Where or how did you make the pedals???? That's the cats behind there!

Great job! I'm green with envy! Hope one day I can build them like that! Tell me, what is this "Silhouette Machine" you speak of? Please tell me more! Thank You

Hello. I'm fixing to retire in August. Want to build the models I saved, Finish the ones I started and to re-build the ones I already built. Been awhile since I built one and from pictures I've seen of some of the ones being built now, mine aren't very good, lol. That's why I came here. I want to learn and need help. I counted and listed the ones I have. There are 112 I have to work on. By the time I get to number 112 I hope to have improved a bunch!. #1 is a 1962 Dodge Dart from Johan.I've attached photos. Want to take it apart and start over. The frame, exhaust and everything on the bottom is one piece. There is really no front end, will have to build my own. Will definitely need help on all of it. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance

Thank you! I'll try over there. The pictures are of the Dodge, as it is now. Yes. want to separate frame and rear end and front end, which doesn't exsist. Real exhaust , etc. Plan on being on here a lot after retirement (Super28 <-----after Davey Allison)

The dates here are about 4 years old. Anybody here? I'm fixing to retire in August and plan on building And re-building models. Need a good place to get help on issues as I go. First one is a Johan 1962 Dodge Dart. The whole frame and chassic is one piece. Want to separate and rebuild. Will need help in tp re-build

Thank You. That really does help. Guess put in request for which ever you need and see if you get a response. Thank you for taking time to help me!

I'm fixing to retire and thinking about getting back into model building. Got some questions for you pros out there 1. Looking at models in these magazines, where do they get the emblems and lettering on the outside from? ie: Impala, cross flag emblem on chevolets, ford ovals. If you paint a model , you lose that detail and you need it for the model to look good. 2. Wheres a good source to buy parts like this, or photo etched parts, after maket parts, ie: tires , wheels, etc? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated Thank you in advance

Thank you. Where do you find photo etched lettering/ emblems? P.S. The Nova looks great!

OK, I'm impressed!

I'd like to know more about 3D printing myself

OK, I need some help from you. How do you get the "Nova" and "427" emblems to look so good?

I'm fixing to retire and plan on doing some model car building. I use to do it on the side. I have some questions I would like to get answers to from people that have learned the answer to. ie: The lettering and emblems on the exterior of 1/24 or 1/25 cars. I've seen pictures of some of these cars that people been doing for awhile and the emblems and letters are excellent, ("Impala", or Chevolet emblem) . How do you do it? Is there a place that sells these?
