  1. Insane deal for $15.00. one of those Hornets are on my bucket list.
  2. Thanks Alan, I will try that with the sandpaper, never thought of it. The wash I have done on other cars and trucks and it really tones down the finish, but in this case gave more depth and grunge to the finish. On the Fairlane I did the same wash and then dullcote.
  3. Finally got it mocked up on all 4 last night. Changed my mind on wheels and tires.
  4. Is it being reissued?
  5. I've used the matte clear. gives good results mixed with tester's dull cote. Or in combination with I mean.
  6. Update. Grafted an AMT stock car ford frame clip on it. Will get it repainted this weekend. The exhaust being there bugs me but it is good enough. I will build another but in clean shape using what I learned here.
  7. Picked up another old custom chevy annual kit. This one has a lot going on...... will see if the paint will strip in the purple abyss. Fingers crossed the body lines were just smoothed with filler.
  8. Jagettedesoto 225? ?
  9. The offer stands just let me know. ?
  10. Looks great. I'm a Earnhardt fan, always have been but always liked Bill Elliot. Root for Chase Elliot now.
  11. Welcome aboard, from another Michigander!!
  12. I'm sure this was a good test. Subject matter is key.
  13. I have a feeling that hood is modified.
  14. That sux, I have one I bought a few years ago sealed and when I opened the chassis was broken.
  15. Bought this ebay lot mainly for the 49 ford and Mercury. The Ford looks like 57 chevy fenders were grafted. hoods glued down. These are very nice builds across the board. The merc will just be cleaned up and the 49 ford needs some new leaf springs. First time having these old monogram kits, seem like pretty nice kits.
  16. Mikes Decals has them in stock right now.
  17. Gonna come in handy for my build, thanks for the pics!!
  18. Looking good, I've found weathering to be a nice break from the norm.
  19. I never even made it past looking at them on the shelf in the stores as a kid. This past year I did get a camaro in a bulk buy and gave it away to a coworker getting into building to practice on.
