  1. Thank you, I've always liked him as well. It always amazed me how little Kodak changed the paint scheme though the years also...
  2. Sounds like the tip is starting to clog up and your not getting the flow needed to get the chrome look...
  3. I've done the same, I've had people send me stuff and I've sent people stuff like said "pay it forward". I've also just paid shipping for someone to send me something as well as bought things from people also that wanted something for them. I would say your best bet would be post what your looking for and talk to anyone that has what you need though PM to make a deal.
  4. For glass I use Aleene's Tacky Glue, it drys clear and wipes right off if you get it in spots you don't want it. It's a lot like elmers white glue...
  5. I did google pics, some Grand Prix had the some didn’t but that would definitely explain it since this car is an 81
  6. I checked one of my Monte Carlo Aero coupes but it is different, Grand National is a definite possibility, thanks....
  7. I am currently working on a build of Earnhardt Sr’s #3 Wrangler Grand Prix, while working on it I noticed today I don’t have quarter glasses for it and looked at an old build of mine of Darrell Waltrips #11 Regal and saw it doesn’t have any in it. The Monte Carlo ones I have do have them. Am I right in thinking the Regal and Grand Prix kits didn’t have any?
  8. Thank you, AMT's decals really are not the best I think I would have been more surprised if I didn't have an issue with them. The chassis' definitely are some what generic since back then the dash like you mentioned didn't match but each driver had there own dash laid out the way they wanted it, I would be interested to find out what they took it from also. The paint is a testors paint I tripped across in Ollie's one day and it had the orange shade to the yellow like the Kodak color has and I thought that would be perfect. I'm not sure how close it is but I thought it was pretty good (especially for a buck lol) Thank you...
  9. Just finished this one today, had some decal issues but still turned out pretty good
  10. I may be using that idea too, I have an old Ranchero kit like that and it’s a build up. The glass and roof are rough that could definitely save that kit.... looks great and great idea.....
  11. Thanks John I'll look for them.. Will do, thanks Dave
  12. I will definitely pick some up, We have a Hobby Lobby opening here soon that will probably be my first trip in there...
  13. Definetly planned to test of sprue, hmmmm like duct tape interesting.... thanks Tom
  14. Will do, thanks for the heads up Tom... They look good, I did see his Fotki page when I searched for him, I''m sure I'll be surfing there for a while....
  15. I have a few Slixx sets, I always think of them selling though other sites like Mike's I'll have to look for there site...
  16. I'll have to search for him, Thanks... I haven't seen any on there, you have some names I can search for?
  17. I'm looking for some places to gets decals from. I like looking through what's available to make projects I want to build and I'm currently looking for a set of 69 AMX stripes. I have Mike's saved and have gotten a few from them but I also noticed a lot of there stuff says sold out on it. So where else do you all get decals from?
  18. There are quite a few options for sure, tell us what you like and I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction. I know when I got back into building about a 1 1/2 years ago I learned so much when I found this site and there are some very knowledgeable people here that can answer most any question you have.
  19. Thanks for the info... I need to get some next trip out...
  20. I have not done any of the Sprint cars but if the testors dull cote worked good on that it maybe my best route. I'll look into that, the cars wheels do almost look aluminum (although I know they aren't) I may be in a situation of buying multiple things to find the effect I want...
  21. I've never used any kind of dullcote so I'm really a rookie when it comes to it. I'm working on a NASCAR kit that has chrome wheels but the real car has a dull finish but looks like the chrome still. So what do you guys use to dull chrome?
  22. We don’t have a local hobby shop just a Micheal’s so I’m looking forward to getting the Hobby Lobby..
