I'm new to all of this so I have a question. I have purchased the AMT 1950 3100 Chevy Pickup and I want to replace the inline 6 with a V8 engine. I've been looking around at "3D Model Specialties" at their engine choices. Can someone help me with what engine would fit and still close the hood? Thanks.

I haven't built a model kit in 50+ years. Since I own a 1949 Chevy 5 window Restomod pickup I thought it would be fun to build a kit to look like what I drive. Did some poking around on the net and looks like the AMT kit was built a lot so I went on the hunt. The price range was anywhere from $19 - $40 dollars so I decided to check my local hobby shop. I've been flying RC planes for over 40+ years and always went to my local hobby shop for supplies. I knew if Scott didn't have it he could get it in a couple days. Just got back from the hobby shop and he had one on the shelf for $18.95. Picked that up plus some Tamiya cenment. Now the fun begins.

Guys....I'm building my first model since 40+ years ago. Yeah, it's been a min. I'm headed to the hobby shop later today to look for the AMT 1950 Chevy truck since I can't find a 49. I have the full size 1949 Chevy 5 window pickup and want to build the model. I've been into RC planes for the past 40+ years and use CA glues for balsa/Bass wood. My question is, back in the day I used Testers. What CA glue or other would be capatable for these models? I have these two on hand. They do not say on the back what material they are ok for.

Someone gave me this link. Looks Like I should be able to find what I want here. https://www.facebook.com/steven.zimmerman.35

I haven't built model kit since the 60's. I currently have a 1949 Chevy Classic truck and wanted to build a model that looks like what I have. Been looking at the AMT 1950 kit since I can't find a 1949. I'm sure I'll have building questions.
