" Those who can't scratch build, kitbash"

I've got a set of those foose caddy wheels n tires i'll send u if u r still interested

WOW lots of help, loads of information. Thanks again. I still need to learn to navigate this site, so I can find these things on my own. ,err threads. Someone once told me I had never had an original thought in my life, and probably never will. seems I'm late to the party,,,,,by a few YEARS !!! RumpleZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Nice save !

Thank you gentlemen .I have some ideas swirling around in the wind tunnel between my ears. Custom, or maybe a Kustom? RAT,? Trog? Hmm think of all the possibilities.

Thank you sir. I saw them on the AW sight, and thought the Admiral might be an interesting subject, something different.

Has anyone gotten into any of the ICM German Admiral kits ? Are they any good ? They are a bit pricey, and I would like a heads up b4 i buy. tnx

She's a beauty,,,, the car that is.

No sir, thank YOU ,for sharing. I didn't see any flaws or defects in the finish of this model, but I'm sure you could point some , something, out that you're not satisfied with.. Thanks again for posting

Thank you for sharing. Perfection? ah, NO ! Should be a Ford in a Ford. A Y block would be perfect. hmmm, guess I'll just have to build one for myself. But other than the SBC engine, pretty dern close to it.

Seeing these brings back memories ,two of my older brothers built models, (got me started) some as box art, and others like the cars they saw and read about in the auto mags. Thank you. You may have helped me break out of this current bout of builders block. I love the twins

welcome J .now get busy,build something.

I'll be trying to keep up with this build. That JH 70 Olds is on my wish list .

those Duke boys would never ,Cooter, would never even look at a vette. unless there be a hemi under the hood. I think I'm offended, but not sure which one I find the most repulsive ,repugnant, disturbing, and horrific. I don't get the donk thing, but different strokes.

then I guess I have a large stock PILE of parts boxes

After a closer look,, ,your builds look better than the box art. I gotta go,,,, there will be a run on these !

OHHHH the things you could do with the parts on those babies, oh yeah, shop diorama, imagine,,,a bathtub FUEL altered ! I'm sorry, I can't help it. I remember as a lil' kid, seeing one of those,, I remember being blinded by the BRASSS! IT WAS AWESOME ! Thanks for the trip back to the 70s. I gotta get one of those, or both. I think u might be on to something with the straight out of the box not even paint,,,,theme. thank you.

We don't see these very often, where did you get them ?

I do buy kits for parts ,and I do have a lot of parts kits in my stash ,but they're labeled as such. The thing is, when you're trying to turn a poor kit that has a well rendered body into that silk purse,,,,,. I'm trying to justify my addiction here, the truth is ,it doesn't matter how well a kit is done from the factory, I find some reason to swap out parts. I've used seven AMT 1960 starliner kits for my BIG fords shelf, but only one is a stock 60. Come to think of it, it IS box stock,,,,,a ray hope,, hope for the helpless,or help for the hopeless.

all together now,, hello Patrick

i like it,tnx

MR.CD. wow as usual, wow!

she's VERY presentable.what color is that ? testors/modelmaster fifties aqua 2942?

very nicely done .love this kit.

traction bars on a mopar prevent leaf spring warp ,or wrap, that causes wheel hop/loss of traction when the spring recoils. When I was a kid, the cops would close a section of east river rd in rochester so the guys and their musclecars could race. One of the the cars was a red 67 gtx . the guy would nose his car up to the river wall and preload the springs,and adjust the stops on the "slapper"bars. the only car I Ever saw take that gtx was a 454 chevelle.
