One of these days Alice, Pow…right in the kisser!

Don’t know if this is any help? http://chevellestuff.net/1968/interiors/index.htm I seems like Chevy also used interior parts supplied by other GM divisions.

Thanks Mark. I’m not too well versed in Corvettes, but the yellow one I figure must be a ‘68 due to a lack of a chrome molding around the gills…if AMT was that fussy? From a Corvette forum: “Of the C3 models, the 68 and 69 had the 4 verticle gills. 70 thru 72 had the eggcrates. 73 and up had the single opening.” “and to add. '68's had no trim in the gills whereas '69 did.” Does anyone know if the tubbed rear subframe was an option? It looks to be molded from the same tan coloured plastic as the ‘72 body.

I bought this kit at a second hand store yesterday, and the instruction sheet is for a Revell ‘95 Corvette.? I haven’t been able to find the instructions online for it so far. I haven’t done an inventory yet, but it looks like I may have almost two kits in the box, except for wheels and tires. I did find instructions for an AMT 1970 Corvette online. Does anyone know how close all these kits are? It looks like the previous builder was doing a nice job of tubbing it Any info on either kit appreciated. Thanks, Greg.

Very good point!?

The dash looks great Karl. Were the instrument decals included in one of the kits or are they generic ones?

Sweet Georgia Browns are some of my favourite chocolate.

Nail polish can be used for painting models and can lead to some results that are pretty groovy.

These work pretty good.

Be there or be square!

Yeah! That and the newer JK and JKU also.? Is there some licensing issue with Chrysler that is preventing kits from being produced? With the popularity of the vehicles, you would think they would sell well. I have seen them in diecast.?

I used the Tamiya X-27 clear red also. Not sure which Nova you’re building, but I had a few issues with mine. My build thread here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/169718-amt-‘66-nova/#comment-2556947

GM 1/2 ton 4wd rims were 6 lug. 3/4 and 1 ton 4x4s were 8 lug. I don’t know what kits would have the rims you want? I know the Crew Chief Blazer came with a mismatched set…two six lugs and two five lugs.?

Animation is now largely computer generated imagery, where just about anything in your wildest imagination is possible.

And as Peter (Peteski) noted in the Tips and Tricks section on making hinges…the video maker doesn’t say how he retains the pins in place. What keeps the hinges from falling apart?

We had our 5th wheel trailer broken into last fall and although they stole a number of things, the most annoying one was the remote for all the slides, awning and landing gear.? It is an older model and the dealer no longer has replacements and I haven’t tried to find a used one yet. I can still operate them from the control panel, but the front jacks need to be done from outside the trailer.?

Town and Country wagons by Chrysler were popular for quite a few decades.

People like me who like to channel surf, get frustrated when every single tv channel synchronizes their commercial breaks.

I tend to be obsessive compulsive…but not to the point of being a disorder ?. I get momentum going and if an issue or problem or whatever arises, it can break that streak and I may or may not continue on that project. Another thing you can do is click on the OPs username and you can see when their last post was, or you can send them a private message. If they haven’t posted for a number of years, chances are that you won’t get an answer.?

Everyone has their methods. First download some good pics of the 1:1 version you want to copy. For the moldings, usually about .010”x.020” evergreen strip? Here is how I did one on a ‘68 Chevelle. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/168095-‘68-chevelle-ss/

Here are some ideas for finding the center of a circle. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/157592-simple-centre-finder/#comment-2334317

The list is long, but here is what I have built. A semi-replica of my 1:1 Willys Overland pickup on a Blazer frame. For this one, I modified a die-cast cab and cast it out of resin and scratch built most of the rest of it. A CJ-7: An early Blazer: A CJ-2A: A C-101 Jeepster Commando with later TJ front clip: And a couple of future projects include a stretched cab Willys and a Club Cab Willys…somewhere down the line.?
