Open road camper van body
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yeah, it’s doesnt really have any structure to it, there is some dark coloring on top of the box so who knows maybe it was stored in an attic! -
Open road camper van body
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I will check this out! I thought another possibility since the warping might straighten out with building and the grille installed I could "replace" the cowl area with a donor. It sure which approach I will use. Thanks for all the input! -
Open road camper van body
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the info! Hopefully I can find a decent parts van or maybe try and fix the body on this! -
Hey guys, I was lucky enough to pivot up the AMT open road camper recently for a good deal. The kit is unbuilt but the body has warped and cracked, do any of the current van kits have this same body? Thanks for any help, it’s always appreciated,

Hi David, I don't known if what I have would help it not, I have s 68 or 69 built up Bonneville that had the custom stuff glued on and is made into the pickup. Unfortunately I will not be able to dig it up for a few weeks. I am currently in the hospital and won't be home for a bit and won't be able to get to my stuff. If you are interested in putting this on hold let me know and I will find it!

Thanks! Thats not bad with shipping! It looks really nice, I think I might need to pick this up!

Thats a pretty nice looking kit! Wonder how long it will be before someone makes it a show rod/ street rod! Kinda reminds me of what Revell used for the Der Guber wagon? and a couple others! If you dont mind me asking what are those going for?

Windsheild frame repair
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks Steve thats a good idea, I do have some junk bodies laying around. I was also thinking of trying to put an uptop on it, just for strength, I dont know if that was ever kitted with an up top or if any other Johans would work. I have a 67 Fury with an up top but that suffers from the same problem. Not sure if that would even be a close fit. -
Windsheild frame repair
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the tips guys! I will take a look at the forum for the repairs and do the search Snake suggested. The windsheild is cracked and I always have trouble getting a nice fit with using clear sheet plastic, it never sets in the frame right for me, I have seen some of the members do their glass with sheet plastic and it looks awesome, mine not so good! I have repaired a couple hardtop promo windsheild pillars with making a mold and using some chassis or interior plastic from the promo melted in MEK and its worked pretty well but with a stand alone windsheild frame I'm not so sure! -
Windsheild frame repair
fordf-100 replied to fordf-100's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Its the Fury promo, its pretty well beyond repair with pieces missing. I am not sure if the hard tops and convertibles shared the same frame and glass. I thought someone would know on the forum. I have heard that the 65 Satellite has some roof problems but it I was thinking that might be the best option, also not sure about the width. -
Hi All, I am thinking of attempting to repair a 65 Johan convertible windsheild frame and wanted to ask what kit might possibly donote the correct frame and windsheild. I was thinking the Moebius 65 Satellite but was not sure if the real cars shared the windsheilds. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Dyno Don's Eliminator II - New Camera - New Photos

Wow that is awesome looking! Could you please give some more details on the build? Is that a resin or a modified AMT body? -
Looks fantastic! Love the engine, wheel and color choice!

I totally agree with the exercise routine, I have had multiple health issues and exercising has kept them very managable, I work usually 6 days a week and try and exercise 7 days a week, no matter how tired I am I try and do something, a stationary bike, light weights or a heavy bag workout. It makes a world of a difference!!!!! The only thing I would also highly recommend is stretching multiple times a day, stretch your back and hamstrings. It really helps!!

It was in the TV show and I think it was "huggy bear" who called it the "tomato " !
