  1. Big Picset here http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=46187
  2. OMG! I'm an old man and thought I had seen it ALL! Is your Torino Conv a real factory-built car?? If so, I bet there were less that a couple thousand built, if that!
  3. I've seen OP's kind of thing described elsewhere as Drive-By Trolling. ? Not up to me to say if it fits this time. ?
  4. It leaves a few (Lindberg, Polar Lights, ...) but my faves come from original MPC molds no matter what brand name is on the box.
  5. The brake and shifter cables should be grey. If they were, it would be a substantial improvement. The seat color should match the frame but, It is still a GREAT JOB!
  6. Thanks for sharing, Ray. Son #1 was eyeballing a Desert Eagle after he saw it in too many Hollywood productions. But last Christmas i gave him a Book Of Glock. He discovered a long-slide Glock in 45 ACP. He bought one and was so happy that it eats the same ammo as his compact Glock 45. Me? I buy from USA manufacturers but have no gripe about Glock.
  7. The Revell 1977 Monte has a vague Palmer-type chassis with glasspack mufflers.. Better to use the Jo-Han chassis if those are your only choices. My humble opinion. After due consideration, i'm pretty sure the 1990s Revell Caprice/Impala SS kits will have the small Cat Convertors which would be wrong for 1975. I have a complete 1992 B-Body sitting here and i can look at the convertor if need be. But you might need to cut in an older convertor.
  8. The biggest visible differences between the 1968-72 & 1973-77 GM A-body frames is gonna be the shapes of the front suspension control arms and that the frame horns on both ends of the newer car are enlarged for the bumper impact absorbers. I can go look to be sure but am thinking that the 1973-77 frames don't have that little skid plate under the first crossmember as on the AMT 1969 442. Also, dual exhaust was dead starting in 1975 so you'll need a single hump transmission crossmember. Fun fact: after the 1977 A & G bodies ended production that same frame then went under the RWD 1977-96 B & C bodies (Impala, LeSabre, Delta 88, Cadillac Brougham, etc) Best option might be the Revell 1992-93 Caprice. It will have the right frame, suspension, floor pans. And it should have the correct tranny crossmember & exhaust system.. Dual exhaust made a comeback in 1994 so next best may be the Revell 1995? Impala SS. It will look right except for the dual exhaust crossmember & pipes.
  9. Okay, it's a semi-jacketed hollow point for a semi auto pistol. It looks too long to be 45ACP or 9MM. So what is it?
  10. Hi: The camber is built into the rear axle housing by intentionally welding the axle tubes to the center section NOT in a straight line. So this camber is non-adjustable unless they swap out the entire rear axle housing for another one that had its tubes welded on at a different angle.
  11. You might try asking the person who decided that the lettering was red.... https://smpdecals.com/shop/ols/products/old-reliable-1960-corvette-from-the-dave-strickler-racing-stable
