Kits they never issued- but should have
SCRWDRVR replied to Paul Payne's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
You got my vote there, I own a 1:1 05 F150 Supercrew rollin 35's and 8" of lift and I've always wanted a kit of it to build.... Most all of the other things I would want have been done at one time or another but some are very hard to come by now a days and I'd like some of those to come back. -

BMF, stepping up my game
SCRWDRVR replied to SCRWDRVR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks Guys, I was really happy with the way it came out being my first one. I will say everything I learned about it came from here I never even knew what it was before coming here, so you all get the credit..... -
With what I have learned since I joined the site I have continually tried to step up my game on my builds and today I finished the BMF on one of my currrent builds. It is my first kit to have all the chrome on the body done with BMF. What do you all think?

Instruction sheets
SCRWDRVR replied to RODOMOTIVE's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'm not 100% sure as I am about the same age as BlackSheep214 and started building around the same time but I seem to remember them being on top when I was young. I've thought about that a few time opening kits here recently to look at something in the directions.... -
Perfect, thanks for the info....
-
I have never opened them up I've always just put black paint in there.... I'll ave to try that on these builds. What did you use to sand the back down?
-
As you build the space you need will never seem big enough, I got back to building about 2 years ago and set this work area up then in my basement I continue to rearrange stuff to improve it, this half of my basement is storage other than my work area. Behind where I sit is my stash and paint booth..

Ok that tells me where to find a wheel I may want also, Thanks... I'm not a fan of the center bolt wheels I think it takes some of the pit stop change out of it...
-
Thanks, I've noticed a lot of pics of the older cars with newer style wheels but it appears they are restored cars. I'll rely on pics of the actual raced cars then they should be as accurate as I can get then... I recently started a build of the Salvinos 83 Lemans and noticed the car on the box (real car) has 5 hole wheels on it but the kit comes with 9 hole, I'm also building Davey Allison's rookie car 87 T-Bird and that kit came with 5 hole wheels but every pic of the car I find has 9 hole wheels so I'll just swap the wheels on the 2 kits... Thanks again...
-
I've been looking for info without to much luck on when wheels changed in NASCAR. They started with stock steelies then went to a 5 hole wheel and I believe to a 9 hole wheel then finally to a 8 hole wheel. Does anyone know a time frame of when these changes took place? I'm working of several 80's era cars and want to have the correct wheels for them.

Interesting Comparisons
SCRWDRVR replied to unclescott58's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That was what everyone I knew called them when I was young was a "poor man's corvette" -
The wife always makes me save all my Ollies scores for Christmas LOL.... I picked several out at HL also when the %40 kit sales first started which included Smokey and the Bandit T/A, 70 Firebird, 76 Chevy stepside, 68 Chevelle, 69 Yenko Nova, a 69 and 70 Chargers, the LNT8000 Snow Plow and a couple others. I also got 3 Salvinos JR Kits, From family I got a total of $75 in gift cards for HL, $50 for Ebay and $100 for Amazon..... I had a good year

I'm not a fan but........
SCRWDRVR replied to stitchdup's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've always been a fan of American Cars with me leaning to the muscle cars including some they sold in other country's and not in the states. I am not a fan of Ferrari's or BMW's although I have always had a fondness for the original VW Beetle and have owned a few in my time. I think the one car I've always liked and is really not in my usual taste range is The Subaru WRX, I don't think I have seen one I didn't like or would gladly park in my driveway -
I have it recorded but haven’t watched it yet, I’ve always been a fan and loved the Blues Brothers but I have also always like him in 1941

ok interesting then there must have been a one of the others at one time or another I guess...
