where is the 49's, I don't see it on the body anywhere but I do see the door on the 50

ok awesome good to know I'll look over the hood and see if it's still there, thanks guys

I want to use the 49 grille with the 50 front bumper so as long as that works I should be good then, I do have the interior tub and chassis from the 49 so I mostly need the bumpers and hood from the 50.

I picked up one of the 50 Ford conv. Kits at HL when they had there sale and saw it at Ollie’s too so I decided to get a second and look for a coupe body. I found a build up coupe on eBay but it didn’t have bumpers and a hood so I got it pretty cheap but after a little comparing I noticed the the coupe is a 49 not a 50 and hadn’t known that. I would like to keep it a 49 but does anyone know if the hood and bumpers are the same between the 2 in the kits?

That is pretty cool and I agree definitely fits in the dioramas....

I like the Maverick kit Johan put out, I have one I built probably 25 years ago and still have it thankfully... mine is missing a few motor parts but I just haven’t done the research yet to try to find them, I will someday... your build is looking great

I started building as a kid I think most because of my interest in cars since that’s pretty much all I build. As I got older I built mostly what kind of cars I liked and when I got heavy into NASCAR all I built were cup cars, then the break, I didn’t build for about ten years where things in life just didn’t allow time. Now I’m back at it. I’ve always built for myself but I did enter one show when I was young, did ok but learned I needed to keep building for myself. I have my builds displayed in my model room but outside of that they are never seen except places like here with people I share the joy of the Hobby with.

Yeah same for me, Got the trucks early and they had more out yesterday...

My wife stopped in there today while she was off and they had more stuff. She picked me up the 280z, 72GTO, Daytona Charger and Dir Beetle Bus

Wow I wish they would of had all those cars at mine...

I’ve always wanted to build all the kits in this set, I have the white Tom & Jerry kit and have built the yellow flintstones and purple scooby... wish I could find them that cheap

I’m in Dover DE. Mine had what I got and the Lindberg 34 Ford Truck... No problem, I’m glad someone else could find one

Ours always seems to get a few this time of year....

Maybe if it goes well when I actually try it I will make something up....

I’ve always built to please me, I’ve entered one show in my youth but I realized that would just frustrate me when it came to the things I’m not good at and stopped. I recently went to my first event since and enjoy looking at the work of others but I don’t compare in ability and know it. So for me I will continue to do it for my joy so I will continue to want to start that next build. I’ve learned a lot on this forum that has really stepped up my game but I am decades away from the ability I see here.

For vinyl I use Oracal 651 and I use Signblaster for cutting (came with it) I also have another one I haven’t bothered to learn to use yet. I have a photo editing program I use a lot to make my graphics and Inkscape for plotting

Sounds like some nice kits though.... My wife said what do I need the trailer for you plan on using it.... lol

Not the best score but the trucks and trailer were 20 each and the Ford was 10... Still a good deal though

I have a 34" cutter I've had for years, I use it mostly for making stencils for my air eraser or car decals and a occasional shirt. I have been getting ready to try to cut lettering for on the side of a pro street car I'm building but haven't gotten to that stage of the build yet but I think it's doable...

I have the wagon and haven't gotten the sedan yet either but it's on my list. I'll do them both stock most likely. I'm glad to hear they are nice kits to build.

Probably a good idea, thanks

Wow I may have to take the 2 hour drive again, I'd like to get everyone of those.... Boy will I be happy when they open a the HL local..

Yeah that's just it I don't want it to look crappy so all combo's are a possibility.

Maybe a red stripe with a tan or buckskin color interior might not look bad.....

Which is like this but is a little lighter in person
