That glue from the mirrors looks like it might be a bit of a challenge. ?

I have some of that non-acetone nail polish remover. It works well for removing tampos from diecasts as long as they are not under clear coat. I could always pick up the mineral spirits at the hardware store.

Yeah. The pic was from some 3D print site. I think someone makes a finished one in a smaller scale.

How cool would this one be?

The title of this thread immediately put this song in my head. Love the color.

It's the '77 Jimmy from Monogram with that rare Hickey hood and other goodies. I plan on using 2 Revell squarebody kits and some Fireball wheels to do the rebuild. Its missing one 5 slot but I wouldn't mind having the complete set. If I can save the body, frame. interior bucket, roof, hood, and glass I will be able to have a complete model to rebuild at a fraction of the cost of a vintage kit.

I got it from ebay and the tracking tells me it will be hear in a few days. Here are some pics from the auction.

Reminds me of my moms maroon one that my dad traded in her '70 Torino for. She never forgave him. I can remember that same white interior.

I should really get to those stores more often. Also garage sales.

Nice I still haven't even opened mine yet. Too many projects at once. ?

But he also says don't hesitate to send questions.

I'm trying to make a new order but I'm trying to see what wheels fit what tires first.

Hope everything is ok with Joseph. I sent him 2 emails in the last 2 days and no answer yet.

I was thinking more about this and I suppose I get a lot from the past. A lot of the stuff I saw growing up plays a huge role today.

That's about the same thing I do. I used to get Musclecar review but that went under (again) Then I was getting Hemmings Muscle machines until every month became an entire issue filled with "69 Camaros that looked like the were stolen from the latest ridiculous Fast and Furious movie set. Now it's just google images.

Luckily I have extra chrome and it looks like The existing chrome doesn't look too daunting. I'm ore concerned with some unwanted decals on some clear windows that I'll have to reuse.

Thanks. I'm guessing that soaking it in the purple pond will take the decals off?

This guy makes the whole setup or just the leafsprings and he's a member here. https://www.3dscaleparts.com/1-16?page=6

I'm seeing that these guys are putting them in the freezer. Is that recommended? Or are harsh chemicals the way to go?

Can't believe I never did this before. Doesn't appear to have any paint on it just some decals. What is the best thing to release the old glue. Should I soak it in the purple pond? Thanks. Mike.

The Chills - Brave Words. About the same the whole grunge scene was taking off mainly in Seattle, another scene was starting to happen half a world away in Dunedin New Zealand. At the top of the heap amongst these bands was The Chills. I remember buying this on vinyl and still like to listen to it today.

I got the last large container of Purple Power left at walmart (more supply line issues). I can finally resume a number of projects I had on hold for a long time. Just put some parts in to soak. How long before I should check on them?
