  2. Hi the head lights are the ones used on the 64 and 65 AMT Thunderbird I had got them from Modelhause. and the tail lights on the 64 also came from Modelhause those are the taillights from the AMT 61 Buick with the ends cut off they were the right shape with the 3 lines in them. BUT.! if you want to do the GTO with the head lights showing you can contact Kevin at Missing Link Resin he makes the parts you need to do that I have them and they look great.

  10. Hi I just got his new 65 442 I have ordered kit's from Dave for over 15 years now he has quality kits and his delivery is really fast for resin most resin guy need 8 to 14 weeks but I got my kits with in 15 to 20 days and some times faster it really depends on how you pay if you use a credit card it's faster if you send a check he waits till it clears I would do the same ting if it was me but any way if you like the kit get it you will be happy with it like I said I have a lot od his kits and he is a good guy to deal with. I hope this helps.

  17. That build really is awesome ! Thanks for posting it again I have seen your build many times be for when you first posted it and in many photos that other guys have taken at shows after I saw it the first time I got one from Steve at Star models it has been in a box for as long as you have shown your build every time I look at it I just know it's going to be months of work but seeing yours again I'm finely going to get started on it with the hopes it comes out a 1/3 as good as yours.!
  18. Nice promo I wish I would have kept the ones I had as a kid back in the 50's and 60's who knew !!! Those chrome pens are the best tool for the hobby in years I have both the 1mm and the 2mm I love them I just reordered 2 more on amazon!!!
  19. Now that's awesome very deferent I like it.!!!! nice color combo.!!!!
  20. Hi ok I understand a little better now thank you for the reply don't get me wrong I think the idea of doing things with the 3D printer is awesome I guess I'm looking at a more useful way to use it in modeling I'm in Chicago and I am 65 I have been building for 55 years I did my first model at 10 in 1962 it was an AMT 3-in-1 62 Ford Fairlane it was $1.49 the paint was 10c a bottle and the spray can was 59c today the kit is between $ 22.00 to $49.00 the spray cans are $4.95 to $6.95 each and the little jar's $3 to $4.00 each so I fully understand.
  21. I can see the 3D printing for wheels and parts but not something like the hole car. Can't just the body be printed out.? and like you said you did lose a lot of detail sanding all the extra plastic off and 11 hours to print it took less time for my kids to come in to the world lol.!! I thought there was someone that was working on doing body's has anyone tried that would be great to be able to make the body you want and use the rest of the kit to complete it.
  22. Thanks I know what you mean my 1:1 Mustang gets big looks at the local shows in 2013 Mr. Gene Windfield was at one of the shows I was at he liked it and he sigend the under part of my hood I have 6 coats of clear over it. 20 years ago you could not give a six away but try to find one now you will pay big LOL. Can't wait to see your project done.
  23. Here is a grate site I use for all car specs it called the old car manual project (www.oldcarmanualproject.com) it has all the factory sales books with all the specs. I have been on this site for 14 years they keep adding to it good luck.
  24. Hi your good with a six in 1970 Ford had what they called the big six it was 240 CI and had 150 HP In Chicago 90% of all the police cars were always ordered with in-line 6's.
  25. That's awesome it's nice to see someone open the hood on that kit.!
