Resin 1969 Mustang Coupe / Revell (9/20 Clutch Slave, Fuel Pump)
rickcaps55 replied to Protowrxs's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Hi the resin kit you are showing is from a resin guy called AF/X Resin I have 2 of those kits I got from them 8 years ago they were $20.00 each he was a great resin guy and had a ton of deferent hoods and other trans kits but they started having all kinds of problems and people were not getting orders they faded away. It's to bad they did make a nice product. -
Nice save ! Awesome blend of AMT and Rev parts nice color combo. Just right for a true 60's custom.!
-

Moebius 65 Plymouth Satellite - Update 01/25/2016
rickcaps55 replied to Exotics_Builder's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I just got my kit yesterday I'm looking for word to this build I have to say Moebius did it again it's an awesome kit.! But I do have one thing that I found to be not up to how they have done there great detail in other kits and that is the Taillights I was really set back on that I just hate to paint in taillights in the past years I have gone to Modelhause to get the first kit lights for the repop's of all the old AMT kit's. But like I said this kit was a long time coming and it's a great kit. -
Tommy that is an awesome save you did a great job.! The 64 was one of the great one's of the 60's My grandfather had one just like that only in silver I remember that car it was a great looking ride.!

Vintage air condition set-up.
rickcaps55 replied to om617's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Hi yes there was 1 or 2 AMT kits from the early to med 60's they were ford kit's 3-in-1 that had the ford dealer add on air. The unit was the typical ford rounded on the sides and had 4 round vents. My 66 Mustang had the dealer add-on I had build a rep of my mustang and got the air unit from the AMT kit. If I remember the kit I will repost if no one can come up with it. I have close to 200 vintage AMT and Johan kits from the 60's I will check them. I know Modelhause makes the one's from the 40's and 50's the one's that would hang on the outside of the window not go under the dash. -
See it's like they say you fall off the bike you get right back on and ride looks great keep them coming.!
-
Awesome the color and the wheels just fit nice build.!!!!
-
"WOW" Dammmmmmm! Between the photos and the build it is hard to tell it from a real car awesome.!!!!

Who has the best redlines in the market?
rickcaps55 replied to meaneyme's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Modelhause has the best Red lines all the tires they make are soft and the white or red lines come out to be painted. They have the same tires showen on the Charger in both red and white wall they are the same tire that was put in to the MPC and AMT kit's back in the 60's and 70's I keep a supply of both on hand. I just got a couple of packs of the new AMT red lines and I have to say they are nice and the fact that they are hollow make them work wit the new Rev kits they fit the 67 Camaro wheels very nice just like the AMT white letters tires. -
What cars interest you in resin 1/25
rickcaps55 replied to 5.0man's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
:DI would like the 74 Cougar XR7 I had one back in 74 great car. and I would like the 67 Olds Delmont 88 my dad had one of those I would get 2 of each. -
Hi I see were your trying to go with this but if you send them out to be plated the parts are cleaned very good by the guy doing the chrome so any masking will be cleaned off. I strip my parts drill out the lights and some times the grill clean them up and have them chromed when I get them back it's just a matter of gluing in the lights and putting the clear plastic on them.

They look tell you nice and move on so let's move on get these new kit's out befor most of the model builders are to Dam old to build them IT"S A TOY.!!!!!!!!!! -

That's great I never thought about using the 64 fairlane roof I'm not big on the Ranchero but love the Falcon. How about the roof from the 64 Comet That maybe more like the 63 Falcon roof I have both body's I think I going to take a hard look at the Comet roof very nice keep this build up dated.
