Thanks guys, appreciate the tips!

Looks fantastic!

What’s the best, safest and easiest way to decant spray cans? These are older paint cans and are not spraying. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks !

This paint was given to me by a club member who worked in a body shop, it was a color they used on a customers car so I’m not sure what it is, I wish I had more of it cause I really like it!

This is the AMT 62 Pontiac Catalina custom kit, built box stock. I painted this a long time ago, probably when the kit first came out and shelved it mostly because of paint flaws. Dug it out a couple weeks ago and was going to strip it, instead I polished it and put it together. This is a really nice kit, the issues I had were really all of my own doing. The frame and floor were both warped, dipping in the front a decent amount. My mistake was thinking it would straighten out in final assembly, it kind of did with clamps epoxy and JB weld. My other main mistake was way back when I painted it, the custom nose piece and the grille surround were very different colors of gold ( one reason it went back in the box)! So I tried to cover it up with pearl white and a single “scallop” down the center of the hood. The white did not cover well so it took multiple coats and the edge is not very crisp. With all the problems I made it still is a nice kit to build and it looks ok for the shelf! Comments always welcome!

Wow! That is sharp looking! Great job!

That looks awesome! Great work!

Completed an awesome trade with Exotics_builder! Great trade and would trade with anytime! Thanks!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments!

I will try and post one for you. The engine is not that bad looking, has a lot of molded on detail and the distributor has plug wires molded on. I really didn't do much to the engine or under the hood.

This one I just finished up! It is the 1/22 scale Hubley Packard roadster. This was built for an upcoming club project, our club members all write down what they would like our annual club build to be and we throw them in a hat, this years winner was anything Hubley! I had a couple metal Hubley kits floating around and also a couple 1/24 scale plastic kits, I decided to do the metal kit since the club member who suggested that we do these builds only the metal kits! This was at times fun and other times extremely frustrating, but overall it looks ok! As always comments and criticism are always welcome. The pile of “junk” beside it is almost all of the flash that needed removed! I figure I could use it in a diorama or something!

Great looking model! Love the stance and color!

I have one of the AMT open road campers if you are still looking for one. I was just looking thru this thread and noticed you were looking for one, the one I just recently got has an issue with the body but is unbuilt and in painted. If you are still looking pm me and maybe we could work out a trade!

That is really sharp! I wonder what roof could be used, maybe the custom clear roof from the 64 T-Bird would be a decent starting place!

Completed a parts trade with Bucky, great stuff and quick shipping! Would trade with anytime!

Hi Dave, I would be interested in a set of decals for this. Where would I be able to purchase a set? Please let me know ! Thanks! Phil

Very cool!!!!!

Tom thanks for the photos and tips on the tires! I'm going to have to dig they my tire box and see if I have any of those!

Tom, yes I “tried” to cut treads in the tires, they are just straight grooves. A cross pattern would have been nicer! What tires did you use on your Valiant? They look really good!

Hi all, if this is in the wrong spot please feel free to move it! This is the AMT 69 Falcon modified stocker. Built pretty much box stock as a just completed never raced car! The only thing I did was to use an interior tub from the parts box since this kit doesn’t come with one. Overall I was happy with the way this turned out! I have the other stocker kits and look forward to building those! As always criticisms and comments welcome!

Looks fantastic! One of my favorite models and 1:1! Great tip on the decals! !

Mine arrived yesterday 11/20 in Pittsburgh!
