  1. Contact Alan at the e-mail address in his signature line, Mike. He doesn't log into the forum very often.
  2. I'd be fine with that, but I thought I had read the same thing:
  3. Finalized box art, maybe?:
  4. The second one is a bad Photoshop job based on a brochure image. As for the LVT-1000, start on page one.
  5. No, it appears to have clear: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Amt-California-Hauler-Peterbilt-359-Model-Kit-/131067646123?nma=true&si=SSeh3FY6PjYgL7HzhcJwIjQgJyo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  6. I wonder if the sleeper was an afterthought in the original release? Did AMT include a separate, small instruction sheet for it, too?:
  7. No, it needs to be a '49-'53 8BA engine: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83067&p=1073336
  8. You number of followers just doubled.
  9. Chambered. Bill Porterfield's yellow ZL1 had had factory installed chambered exhaust, but I'm sure there's a registry on yenko.net or similar which lists how many or which cars were built with it.
  10. Just found this YouTube video which shows he dual rear wheels being separated, and the ribbed spacers I was curious about. Thanks, Sean. http://youtu.be/P_gpg8VnZqc?t=3m57s
  11. Who made the spacers? Dayton, too? I have seen both smooth and ribbed, both in kits and on real trucks, so just curious of both styles are Dayton brand wheels, and two different models.
  12. I noticed the rear wheel centers in the AMT GMC Astro 95 are ribbed, and I found a pic or two of real trucks with the same (or very similar) wheels. Who made these, and what are they called?: The truck in the background is sporting these wheels:
  13. The 1/25 Mark IV Ford GTs, Lola T70, Lotus 49B, '48 Ford convertible, Chaparral 2E, and VW Beetle kits-- all originally designed and made by IMC-- were all released under Union's "Memorial Collection" series after IMC went belly up.
  14. He will, right after he takes it to the limit. ...one more ti-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime. ​
  15. Works for me. I wasn't able to find an image of the non-Shaker hood with the same blackout treatment, but it should look great on the model.
  16. Here are some slightly better pics by Diego Rosenberg: http://www.examiner.com/slideshow/chevy-city-at-carlisle#slide=1
  17. Actually, you should read the reviews he mentioned...whilst listening to your new Eagles DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Gummi-Bears-Sugar-Free/product-reviews/B000EVQWKC Seriously. It's funny.
  18. Here are the BBC headers in the Revell '67 Chevelle Pro Street kit, though I'm not sure if they'd fit the Camaro. I recall the Camaro's headers being a very tight fit:
  19. Beautiful work so far, Alain.
  20. The closest I found was this Bonneville SSEi: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46854&hl=%26quot%3Bgrand+am%26quot%3B#entry503323
  21. Niko, are those quad headlight washers at the inner edge of the headlight bezels, even with the grille's center bar?
  22. I was beginning to wonder, John. In all honesty, they aren't the best headers, though not the worst either. If you could find a set which had a full mounting flange instead of no flange (as on the kit's headers) or those tiny little "ear" flanges on either side of each primary tube you'd have something better to work with. Maybe the Pro Street '67 Chevelles or Revell '68-9 Vette kits has something better?
  23. It's all rat rod discussion. Same disagreements, same inability to define them, same opinions of them on both sides.
