  1. i got a revell 1968 mustang fastback kit and the hood was severely warped. i tried to fix it but it cracked. I ordered another one, and that one is also warped, not as bad, but it doesnt sit flat. i had put in a request for a new hood on the revell site last week but i still have not received a response. im not buying a 3rd kit and now im stuck not being able to finish the model without a new hood. does anyone know how long they take to respond?
  2. did you try the account compromised link https://www.facebook.com/hacked
  3. yeah, unfortunately for me, i chose the cheapest paint i could find on amazon for the right color, figuring it wouldnt matter. i think at this point i need to just glue it the best i can holding it without touching the paint and put it in the car. the duplicolor was 20 dollars on amazon where the rustoleum was 10. once my knee and my back are better, maybe i can go to the store and buy it. its crazy thought, its been like 10 days and it still feels like its not dry
  4. I just received a new sealed amt kit of a 67 mustang fastback. However there is one entire tree that has yellowed. Has anyone seen this before. Is this something I should try to have amt replace or do you think it's ok
  5. thank you. this is what i ordered and is taking forever to dry https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JG0152/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
  6. what brand of paint do you use for engine color for ford/chevy/dodge? i tried real engine paint and its not fully drying. even after 1 week it still feels like its not dry. like if i pressed too hard it would put a print in it
  7. there is also a stepside that is a 76 https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Model_Cars/1976-chevy-sport-stepside-4x4-pickup/RMX00004486/product.php?s=0&t=11&u=7&pg=3&ppp=48&sb=stocknumber_a&so=d&e=0
  8. about 1 month ago my knee started hurting in the back on the muscles area. it hasnt gotten better so i went to the doctor. they told me to see an ortho and sent me on my way, but was happy to collect my copay for doing literally nothing but saying see a specialist. so i went to the ortho, and they did an xray and told me that i have arthritis in my knee, and gave me a shot. they refused to listen when i told them its in the muscle area and that it only hurts when its fully extended. they gave me a shot in my knee and now my knee hurts worse than it has before. i have arthritis in my hands and this is completely different. this is why i dont go to the doctors. i might just put an ace bandage on it so i cant fully extend it and see if it heals itself
  9. no. unfortunately i dont own a shelby. i have a pickup truck. the mustang fastback is my favorite car of all time and I dream of owning one, but with the prices going so high, i know i wont
  10. i was looking for an unstarted amt 68 mustang, but i think it is going to be more money than i can pay. i found one just ended on ebay that was started and it sold for 70
  11. im looking from complete kits from the 60s and 70s. are there any good vendors besides ebay that sells them
  12. do you have any pictures of the chassis. This looks amazing
  13. If you can get a 1 day to move it just drive around town for however many miles. If you stay close to home who is to say you aren't moving it. Or if there is a smog testing place you can move it to that is 100 miles away you can move it there. I thought laws in NJ were bad, I'm glad that I don't live there.
  14. Tickles roar
  15. so far its a lot better here in nj. i havent been outside, but the air doesnt look hazy right now. hopefully its better soon.
  16. The story is fun but in reality nearly every kid in my area thought they were street racers with the stock mustang and firebirds racing against everything next to it at a stop light and disappearing into the pale moonlight so the non existent cop in the area didn't nab us
  17. i found 3 or 4 with this search https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?q=set&fkSECTION[]=Kits&fkGROUPS[]="Vehicles"&fkCATNAME[]="Cars"&fkTYPENAME[]="Full kits"&fkSCALENORMALISED[]="1:00024"&fkSCALENORMALISED[]="1:00025"&fkCOMPNAME[]="AMT/ERTL"&fkCOMPNAME[]="MPC"&fkCOMPNAME[]="MPC/Ertl"&fkCOMPNAME[]="Monogram"&fkCOMPNAME[]="AMT"
  18. does anyone know of a site that lists all of the different sets that were produced that had multiple cars in the same box. for example https://www.scalemates.com/kits/amt-ertl-8173-classics--172258 i searched for gift set, but couldnt find any others
  19. in central nj here. its the same. the smell has made it into the house as well. i am going to start running our air purifier to help out
  20. stupid usps, i was supposed to get something delivered today and i checked the tracking and it says i can pick it up from the post office. im going to be really annoyed if it doesnt arrive tomorrow and I actually have to pick it up
  21. the sky has a yellow haze from the fires in canada. it smells so horrible too.
  22. i am trying to find the correct color for the 1966 ford fairlane gt engine valve color. I have searched google for concours 390 correct and i am coming up with 4 different colors so far. the instructions say blue, but i dont always trust that because I have found incorrect info on the instructions in the past 1. chrome: Maybe? i know on the cobra jet version it was chrome, but I am not sure if the 390 was as well 2. black: I am pretty sure this is not correct 3. ford blue: maybe? 4. silver color: maybe?
  23. i would just respray that area lightly to bland it in
  24. Here is the engine. I had a chip on the air cleaner so I repainted but it's still wet. I guess I will start the body next
