  1. I love the idea that they are coming out with the 69 it will have the detail that the AMT did not have and it was in the cards when they did the very long awaited 68 they made the removeable rear end caps I knew the 69 was not to far behind and I will get a couple of theses kits but I hope they do not stop making the 68 we in the model building world waited way to long for that to come back to the bench I got 4 of these kits looks like I will have to pick up a couple more just incase.!!! and as for the 68 I am hopping so good resin guy will come up with a 68 300 hard top trans body with a bench seat for that kit hint hint.!!!!
  2. Ho yes Wendell I know of him very well I was one that ripped off for over $150.00 bucks I was buying a lot of thing from them ok thanks.!!!
  3. I have that resin kit but I got mine from Perry Resin 18 years ago it's the same kit only in the darker tan resin and I only payed $35.00 for it and it used the 69 AMT Chevelle kit as the doner to finish it I just got it out of my stash to build it. Do you have any idea who the resin guy is that made that one I would like to get one more.
  4. Hi I got this trans kit from Keven and what I did with the grill was to leave the ring alone I did not want to mess with it it looked great I made a back piece with the center bar the 71 the grill is a deep look so it worked out nice as soon as I am done I will try to post some phots but all and all it looks great and it was easy to work with.
  5. They were also in one of the 64 Falcon kits from Trumpeter I have the kit and it's a great kit but to this day I can not understand why they put the 60/61 dog dish caps in it for me it worked out I used them on a resin 60 Falcon.
  6. That is awesome I love it in the gray that should have been a factory color very nice.!!!
  7. Hi you say you use it in your air brush how does it work ? I got a refill but never thought about using it as a spray can you coat a part with out using the gloss black under it when you spray it. that is one of the big things I like about it you can go over almost anything with out under coat I have used the pen on raw resin and it came out perfect.
  8. That's looking great but do your self a favor and make it easy on your self I have stopped using the BMF on all the thin and small areas get the Molotow liquid chrome pens they come in 1mm 2mm 4mm they look like you used BMF and in one swipe your done I am 67 and my hands don't work like they use to cutting the BMF is hard but with the pens it's so easy and there great for small parts to and there is no under coating needed they go over anything. you can get them on amazon or just about any were.!
  9. WOW ! you did a awesome job on that build. I have this kit in my stash it has been setting there for 30 years untouched I just never got around to it I love it now seeing this I will have to get started on it I have the full detail kit from JoHan like yours with the opening doors and trunk in the flat box.
  10. Yep you got it I have been building for 57 years in the past 20 if I saw something in resin I not only got it at the time I saw it I got 2 or 3 more for down the road the year be for Modelhause closed it's doors I stocked up on parts and dog dish caps of all kinds.!! Buy em when you see em.!!
  11. Great build I really like the color combo very nice.!!!
  12. You know over the years I have watched your work you have done some awesome cars that would have been great if they had been put into kit form you have a lot of great cars you really need to show a couple of pictures of all of them together for the new people that have come to this site I would love to see a couple of group photos of all the cars you have done.
  13. WOW ! that is awesome right out of the pages of a 60's Hot Rod Magazine.!!!!
  14. WOW ! this is looking awesome the custom look using the car was not that good but now that your doing the Dora style set up it's going to be awesome can't wait to see this one done very nice.!!
  15. Hi I like the sport roof to and I am doing a 69 and 70 now go to MCW resin he has the trans kits for both and you use the guts from the 70 for the 69 .
  16. Just cut out the hood it's easy and you can drop the in the guts from the AMT 63 Ford Galaxie that's what I did it all fits great.
  17. This is the one I like to I just per ordered two kits from modelroundup yesterday you can get the 70 dog dish caps from Kevin at missinglink resin this is going to be a nice kit 5 years ago I was trying to make one form the split bumper kit that is out now I had got the full bumper and turn singles and grill from modelhouse but there is a lot more body work that has to be done then you think anyway this is a nice move by AMT .!!!
  18. Awesome very nice save love the color good pick.
  19. Awesome very nice I have one of those kits I have to sit down and build it this winter you did a great job on that one I love those old JoHan kits I have been buying them as I find them they were simple but looked good and they did a lot of cars that the other company's did not do
  20. Nice awesome job on both I am a ford guy and you them proud I love the in-line 6 on the Fairlane and the look of the dog dish caps on the 500 very nice .!
  21. Hi thank you I used the AMT 58 Plymouth Belvedere you can also use the AMT 57 300 both take the same amount of work to fit and it's not bad but I found the 58 Plymouth the best.
  22. I think that's a great thing I will be watching this one the 64 is one I have always loved I am 67 I have two daughters one liked cars but not in to models I have 3 grandsons 5,6 and 10 I had hoped to get the 10 year old in modeling that's when I did my first model it was the AMT 62 Fairlane 3-in-1 two years ago I found one at a garage sale in the box unbuilt I can't believe I got it for $10.00 bucks it's on the bench for this winter but like I said I tried with the 10 year old and he only likes those dam tablets and video games can't get them away from it I hate to say it but I think we are the last of the model builders with in a few years it to maybe gone.!!!! one thing is for sure as lone as I can drive I will never buy or drive an electric car if it does not run on gas it's not a car.!!!! I want to hear the pipes.!!!!
  23. This is awesome I can not believe how great it is turning out I love it.!!!
