  1. At some point reading the description, my jaw fell off. Absolutely stunning craftmanship!
  2. That looks like it waits on the dealer lot for delivery. Ready to go.
  3. Tomo, that... is a superb collection! ??
  4. Not everyone deals with Ebay. I try to avoid that nightmare.
  5. Thanks for the info. I will go to the hardware store tomorrow. Didn't feel like suiting up today.
  6. I cut the dog leg door and hood hinges off a Testors Dodge Charger R/T Daytona diecast, way back when. Then it got tossed in the "maybe someday" pile. Now I want to finish it, and glue the body panels shut. I am not messing with the paint. Not stripping the paint. Anyone ever do this before? Glue diecast to diecast? What is the best glue? EDIT: The hinges are long gone. Looking to glue panels shut.
  7. That's actually a cool build! All black- aftermarket rims- aggressive stance. What's not to love?
  8. There is, indeed. I have built a few.
  9. I like it! For obvious reasons, and then some.
  10. Awesome conversion, Steve! Everything works, proportionally.
  11. Time limit? I just posted something five minutes ago. I want to delete it, but I cannot. Is there another way?
  12. Maybe Chad is stuck on that Coronavirus Cruise Line.
  13. Speaking of Round2, still waiting on Chads video of March releases. If...there is to be any. With this whole virus issue, I'm not sure what the future shipping status is.
  14. I have used tire decals on numerous Nascar racers, and goldwalls on a Chaparral. But no whitewalls from a water slide decal. Joe Wheat used to (still?) sell die-cut whitewalls stamped on 3M labels. I have had them on models for decades.
  15. Perhaps the "Molded in the USA" branding also means packaged in the USA; thus possibly avoiding the anticipated shipping delays of other kits due to coronavirus manpower shortages in China?
  16. Since we are tossing longshots, maybe the rare Corvair Lakewood Wagon. Made for just two years ('61, '62) Stock, taxi(!), or lowrider.
  17. Real clean! Great photography, too!
  18. Possibly the nicest looking Electra I have seen❕
  19. Stunning ❗
  20. I hate to bring this up, but when look at the E-type, I can't help but see a greenhouse that is too small. Needs to be taller, and longer towards the back. Anyone else see that?
  21. Can't go wrong with an old Chevy. Seems like the '62 would be a save bet. Contemporary. Old skool. Stock.
  22. I agree w/ Rob, a later model GC such as this 1990 would be so fine. I had one similar to this.
  23. It is a shame, indeed. However, if you have photos of it, and clearly, you do- than you will always have it. What is amazing, mostly for never realizing it before, is that like us, the resin sags with age. Another however- each batch of resin may differ, so it is indeed possible that not all resin will "die".
  24. That UAW strike they had last year didn't exactly help to move production along. But you're right. At this point, they should be licensed as 2021's. I'm guessing, however, that is not possible, as the vin's were probably stamped before the car was actually built. I would think that would place it before the strike? At least on the early runs. But I don't have any carved-in-stone fact on that.
