  1. awesome news on the 69 Nova, I was hoping someone would tool up a good 69 Nova. The AMT kit is'nt bad....just very tired. any news on the Challenger. hopefully its the production car and not the concept.
  2. wow ismeal.....did'nt realize you where that short.
  3. got a Revell 06 NASCAR Monte Carlo. was on clearence at KMart. and ordered some Martin Truex Jr. Bass Pro shops 57 Chevy anniversery decals for it. which should hopefully be here Monday. then on my bench on Tuesday
  4. great news. I just checked the site last night too see if there was any news. good to hear the show will be back. this will be my fifth year going. also nice too see it a little later. my family usually goes to New York City the day after. and the weather should hopefully be warmer. The price change will not really effect me. one question though. will the Holiday Inn still be offering the special price or will there be another hotel offereing a special price for the show
  5. The roof is deffinently too short. but the rest is'nt too bad. so i'm gonna get one. and cut the roof off. make it convertible
  6. I got three MPC Chevettes of EBay. on 76, one 78, and another 78, that ones a buildup
  7. looks like Revell is doing what they should have done in the first 2005 issue of this kit, releasing it with stock parts and suspension. It would be nice if they updated it to an 08 (new interior) but I doubt it. i'm just happy to see the stock parts
  8. The R10 is cool.. but i'm waiting for the R8
  9. I'm a little worried about the NNL East right now. they said date and location TBA, and I havent heard anything on whether they found anything or not. I hope there is an NNL East in 08
  10. Got my today, awesome kit. decal sheet and box art is worth the price (paid $21 for mine). mine will be build early lowrider style. Cragers with white walls
  11. I don't like painting inside with lacquers anymore. so all of my painting has been done outside I'm hopefully going to get some moon mud primer on my Ferrari Superamerica today. and paint it later this week. all will be done outside on a covered porch. temps have been in the 90's all last week, and very rainy. so way to humid to paint. luckly. this week looks nice so I hope to get some painting done (for the first time since April)
  12. just read on HH that he just closed up shop. kinda shows what kind of shape the hobby is in right now. although I don't think its going to disappear anytime soon it does look like i'll be spending alot of $$$$$ on Resin kits (which is not a bad thing). I am stocking up on as many kits as I can while I can still get them sorta cheap
  13. i'm digging this new board. its the same speed for me as the old one. I like that the sticky's are seperate from the posts. but I think its time to let some of them go. you have to scroll down pretty far to get to the normal posts
  14. i've seen this error a few days ago. I thought it was only my computer. glad to see its not EDIT:. it seems to be fixed
  15. yep, the 77 Dodge has been shelved for now, which is a huge shame. I have no interest in all the drag stuff he has coming out, (other then the 69 GTO, since that one's got a stock body). I wish he would reissue some of the great old import cars that AMT did in the early 80's. like the Subie Brat. the VW Rabbit and Scirroco
  16. how is the shipping from his site, I knew of Hiro's work for years (used and still kind of am active over Automotive Forums). I just worried if the price of shipping, My slump began around the same time Cobra Colors closed shop so I'd like to find something close to CC
  17. wow, amazing build, was cool watching it progress.
  18. I'm hoping someone in the U.S. steps up and sells these paints. I've heard fantastic things about it, but I'm nervous about ordering paint from out of country
  19. I going through a serious modelers block right now, I can get something in primer, but thats about as far as I can get it. I've been working on an AMT 75 Blazer for about a month, got it in primer, then lost interest, 2 weeks ago I started an AMT 94 F150 Lightning, then I just lost interest in that and can't seem to find anything I want to build.
  20. Yes i'm building the buried car. I know the area under the front bumper. the rear trim on the tailights, and the headlights are different. is there anything else ii'm missing, I know the interior is different....but there is'nt much left on the 1:1 so it would'nt matter. I'm still trying to figure out how to weather the car. I found out its original color was gold. (believe it or not). i'm thinking maybe pouring some mud all over it would help, also thought of sticking in the bottom of the little pond in the back yard to get some algae on it. but i'm affraid that would kill the fish in the pond.
  21. looks awesome, would be nice if Chevy did that to the 09 Camaro, but It won't happen, Yenko Chevrolet is now a .......Honda dealer.
  22. I feel the same way, its looks worse then it really is, but it is sitting really low in the back, notice the algae on the undercarriage. It is sitting on its original 50 year old tires The interior, not pretty I doubt if she will ever start again. a good close shot of the rear fender, does'nt look to bad, although it looks like the paint is bubbling (prohibably from the Battery Acid) here's some excellent pics from Car domain. http://www.cardomain.com/event/2007/06/17/BUR?c=0&p=1
  23. I can't help you but wow, thats an amazing project. it must be huge
  24. as expected. body in decent shape. interior is a mess, barely recognizable. I'm serprised the tires survived. maybe the water helped that. hopefully they won't clean. its needs to be left in it current state. it will end up in some museum somewhere. to tell you the truth its prohibably worth more then a similar completely restored car.
  25. I was just thinking the same thing. There no info out there at all
