  1. That came out awesome great colors and the hood is great perfect !!!!
  2. I got one of them from Kevin a couple of months ago this is a great trans kit every thing just falls in to place it makes a great race car or a nice street rod.
  3. That was a great video I'm 65 and I had the pleasure of seeing the Rat Pak in peresion in 72 and do to my uncle I got to meet them it was 15 min's in my life that no matter what happens to me it will be burned in my brain till I die.!!
  4. Yes all the one's I have which is almost all of them they are the very same as the individual ones just all in one box.
  5. Hi I wanted to do that in fact I was going to show all 3 kits with the parts but my daughter has my camera her and my son in law are on vacation they will be gone for 3 weeks sorry.
  6. Hi guys I got two of them I though they were going to be like the first run but no.!!! it's a combo of the last two shown on here it's the 73 body and body parts from the one in yellow with the inside parts are from the one in blue the 71. they added the chrome grill backing the stock grill insret is not plated the wheels are from the 71 kit the one good thing unlike the 73 that's been out the inside has detail on the door panels and dash it's workable but nothing to right home about.!!!!
  7. Wow good luck with that one my friend if no one takes over Modelhaus it looks like the glue booms will be headed to the trash not the bench.!! I used to buy up every glue boom I could because I know I could rebuild it like new with the help of Modelhause it was the only way to get old AMT's cheep.
  8. There are a ton of them out there I just got 2 more 3 weeks ago spotlitehobby still has them modelroundup has them and Deanshobbystop has them there the Model King repop for AMT the kit is the same as it was from AMT back then I got them at walgreens for $1.04 with tax.
  9. I was born in Chicago and I'm a retired Cop so I will also be very interested in this one.!!!!!
  10. That's great he is a great guy to deal with I have had the pleasure of meeting him and Jeff face to face here in Chicago at one of our model and toy shows I wish he would up date his web page because he has some really great kits and parts good luck with your build and pleas post pictures as soon as your done.
  11. Both ways look great on your build BUT.!!! My brain is 75% in for no rake.!!!
  12. Hi no it's not a Perry's resin I have one of them. The Perry's is nice and has good detail the one in the photo does not even come close to a Perry's I had to add the trim to the grill his does not come with it and I had to send the chrome out to be plated. The one in this photo has way more detail and sharper detail to the chrome.
  13. That build up looks perfect awesome !!!!!! send me 4 now.!!!!!!!
  14. Any chance we can just get the dam thing out I'm 64 and want to be around to build a couple of them.!!!!! There models they will never be perfect that's up to the model builder that's why we are MODEL BULIDERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....The problem is 90% of the young builders can't time away from there video games and there computers to really set and build something anymore they want it all handed to them problem free.!!!!!
  15. Well that was one of the great items that was sold by Modelhause resin but they have closed there doors now I got some from them BUT.! all is good Kevin at Missinglink resin has them he supplied them with his Maverick kits get a hold of him he should still have them.
  16. Hi Yes go to Missing Link email Kevin I have one of his 62-GP kits Damm it's nice you get the body and the rear grill and the side plates pluse the right inner panels and front buckets very nice the AMT doner kit fits right in.
  17. Hi I want to add one thing to this I have got a lot of items from Perry's a few years ago and it was all very good quality I was happy with all of it it's to bad he let the site good bad that being said I just for the hell of it checked back with the site last year and you guys are right it has not been updated the last date is 2008 but be very careful if you do go to the site it has been hacked when I hit on a couple of photos my McAfee lit up like a Christmas tree.
  18. All right I have not seen anyone do one of these in a long time I love this ford great body style for custom or drag and your's looks awesome keep the pictures coming I have a couple of these kits in stock I'm going to have to pull one out now.!!!!
  19. Hi MCW makes the 68 and 69 2 door Biscayne in resin I have both and they are very nice it's a small change to make a Belair out of them the 68 takes the AMT 67 chevy kit as the doner and the 69 takes the AMT 70 chevy kit as the doner.
  20. The kit from Motor city is a great kit it's a repop from AMT and it looks like a plastic kit I have 2 of them all you need is the AMT 66 to finish it and when you order it you can ask Jeff to have the parts chromed he will do that for you.
  21. I love it that's awesome keep the pictures coming.!
  22. This is a awesome kit by Missing link I have one and I have the org by MPC it is a perfect copy of the MPC for anyone that loves these 70 and 71 Merk's this is a must get kit.!!!

    40 Ford

    Awesome very nice it's right on 50's or 60's street rod.! I really like the way you placed the turn lights and the rear lights that's a nice touch great color combo.!!!
  24. For a quick build I think it came out awesome very nice. !!!!
  25. I for one like all the other modelers on here will miss Modelhaus very much I never passed up a old glue boom or a old promo knowing that I could get what ever I needed to rebuild or restore that old boom or just fix something I had in stock and I want to thank both Don and Carol for the many years of very high quality work and parts they supplied to all us model nut's. That being said I also want to say I'm 64 I have been building models from the age of 10 so that's 54 years and I will still keep building till I can't or just don't want to any more I know there is a lot of younger guys on here that are not happy to see them go but like my self I retired at 60 after 40 years in the work world you just have had it all the fun maybe gone and you just don't care any more and every one need's that time to do things you have dreamed of or want to do it's your time now life is short every one deserves this. Once again Good lock God bless and enjoy your retirement Don and Carol Thanks You.!!!!
