  1. The sad part for me is I would have to shell out the cash since most of the kits I would really like to see again are Johan kits. I don't know if these were altered or re released but I would like to see one of these again
  2. Doesn't confuse at all in fact it clarifies. Now that I know for sure in the states you could have gotten a 67 4 door with rallies on it stock it opens up the possibilities....
  3. Not sure if this helps you with size but I drove a tow truck for a long time and on wreckers like that and roll offs we always used 3/8th chain. It will at least give you something to reference.
  4. I only use them if I think it will be moved around a lot, but generally I don't and I stack them 7 high.

    67 Impala

    Very nice build, I love the dog dish hub caps, what did they come from?
  6. It’s definitely a very specialized finish and what I mean by that is I’ve only used it as a clear for bodies 3 times. Once on the car above that is molded in color and I like the color, the other 2 times were on cars I painted a long time ago and wasn’t happy with the shine and couldn’t remember what type of paint I used and I knew the future wouldn’t react.
  7. I think I like it myself We’ll see if anyone else chimes in so it might be worth his while to do
  8. I would be interested depending on price of course like I said I’m a cheap B@#$&#$$..... interesting, hole don’t look as big as a standard rally though...
  9. I would say it’s definitely better to paint it and use a gloss white acrylic like said
  10. On a 4 door? I didn't think they put them on 4 door cars factory...
  11. I guess I'll just have to look for a Chevy cap I like on it, I usually like to stay as accurate as possible but I'm not so pick as to spend a fortune to make it exact. I'll have to find a poverty cap I like since I've always liked that look anyway...
  12. I have the SS version and I'm pretty sure mine only came with the Rally wheels...
  13. I recently picked up the supernatural 67 Impala 4 door kit and the only wheels it comes with are the ones from the show. By chance does anyone know if there was a 67 Impala release that had factory hubcaps or something close, full caps or the dog dish poverty caps?
  14. Yeah purposely didn’t order another one because I didn’t know which kit I would get I just got lucky this time and did get one I wanted... it does suck they are like that especially since I think most everyone I know who builds picks there kits by the kit subject
  15. I ordered 4 kits on this last 40% off deal with the free shipping and actually kind of lucked out. I ordered the Chrysler from the movie Christine because I don't have it and want to build it but I didn't notice it was one of the ones they have marked as "This item comes in assorted styles" as they usually have more than one kit pictured but it only had the one so I didn't catch it. But with I guess some luck they sent me instead the Supernatural Impala. I'll just have to pick up Christine later LOL...
  16. This is cleared with Pledge on a molded in color car, brush applied.
  17. One of the best movies I've ever seen was "Shattered" I did check it's on Amazon prime right not. It's from 1991 and has Tom Berenger, Bob Hoskins and Greta Scacchi in it. I think its a lost jem that no one ever knows about it.
  18. I worked in a body shop years ago we had a 2 way 64 Impala, I found it on google. They also had a Luv P U that was 2 cabs with a tiny bed in between..
  19. I have those ones from the 55 Stepside on a Bug I built way back, this is what they look like out of the box
  20. Just finished up a great trade with Oldcarfan27, I’ll trade with him anytime. Thanks Patric....
  21. I stopped in the Ollies in Elkton MD today on my way home and they had pretty much all the vehicles I've seen offered. They had the big red T, the 2009-2010-2012-1955 corvettes, the escalade, 62 t-bird, 75 gremlin, 06 camaro, the diamond reo, the cab over Kenworth, the international, the tank trailer and the flatbed trailer as well as some of the planes and stuff. I was shocked, I picked up the Gremlin, T-Bird, Diamond Rio and the flatbed to complete the ones I wanted.
  22. ok let me give this a shot What makes you decide to buy a certain model kit, is it? -subject matter/theme; muscle cars, sports rally, cars, pickups, hotrods, racing, classics, boat, plane, other...? Pretty much always subject matter. I really only build cars and trucks -does the box art sometimes make you purchase something you really didn't plan to, if so, give an example of such a kit? No -does the manufacturer brand influence your buying choice, and if so, which is your preferred and least preferred and why? Only if there is 2 kits of the same subject but difference makers, I tend to like Monogram/Revell kits -what do you love about building a model kit and what's the least favorite part of the process? I've always enjoyed painting the body and never cared for doing the body trim and chrome -does a high parts count scare you as too much of a challenge, or does a low parts count make you feel the product could be toylike? I never check the parts count -what type of kit do you prefer (glue, snap, full detail, curbside)? I prefer full detail glue kits -do you like building options, and if so, what (engine upgrade, choice of wheels, decals, other)? I like having the option but rarely use that to chose a kit unless I have a plan for how I want to build it already. -if you wish to give manufacturers a "non-subject matter" suggestion what would it be?
