    Interesting, what are you planning to use for screen on the grill. I always thought that was an area for improvement, but didn't know what to do. That was always the baddest looking Regal in Nascar

    Look at wire ferrules, there are some that look exactly like velocity stacks. That's what some of the aftermarket vendors are using.

    Hartsparts may have some of the parts you need.

    I will by some, appreciate them getting involved. My two cents: the nose looks a little long, especially the area between the hood and bumper.

    Don't know if they still are, but MCW was casting them along with the fronts

    I may have missed it, but I didn't see anyone mention the AMT 1962 Bel-Air Z-11 kits. I think it is an excellent kit (except the wheel backs) that can be built box stock with great results.

    I am not familiar with this kit, but could you replace the mounting pins with some brass rod? I have done that restoring old MPC kits broken front pins. Nice build by the way, makes me wish I would have got one when they were available. How are the decals in the kit.
  9. Shark
    Could they be aftermarket, like Competition Resins or Perry's Resin.

    Replicas and Miniatures makes a resin set for the 49 Merc.

    Revell made a nice snap/glue kit that is a curbside. AMT made one that shares everything with the coupe, been reissued several times. There are some imports, but the body proportions aren't right.

    Earlier discussion on the chassis, just thinking and I don't have one to check with, but the AMT 1970 Monte Carlo might be a suitable back half with it's short truck arms.

    On Randy Ayers Nascar forum there are several guys who make decals. Might try there also. I know some of them can do foil numbers on Alps printers

    Try lightly prying it apart. I just disassembled a complete built up last week that way. If that doesn't work, soak it in water before putting it in the freezer. The water expansion when freezing helps separate the parts.

    I am glad you are doing this car. I started the body work but was unhappy with any chassis I tried. Was thinking of the old MPC with newer truck arms. Which car are you doing, the purple or STP car.

    Did you try Model Car Garage

    Hey Len, you know him, David Dodge, former owner of MCW. I remember you getting paint and stuff from him when I used to help him some. Contact him, he will help you out.

    The resin caster I know tapes the window and good openings from the inside with good quality tape, a couple layers crossing each other. He has no clay inside the body.

    I use a paper clip, bend the end out and the rest is like a grip.

    The kit with the yellow car is a 1968 convertible and didn't come with the tri-power set up, the air cleaner was a carry over from the 1969 coupe which had the carbs and intake.

    Referring to the Johan Sox & Martin, I got the street machine version (exact same kit minus decals) for a better price and used the Slixx decal sheet which is superior.
  22. Shark
    If you don't mind me asking, what are you using for the upper A arms?
  23. Shark
    Nice work. Lots of griping about his kits, but you made it stand out. Question on the headers, are they available thru someone?
  24. Shark
    That kit has been issued several times with different box art and decals, so unless you are a 3 stooges collector, I would look elsewhere.

    Powerslide Petty '64 Belvedere decal has the side trim in chrome. You could file the molded kit trim off and use it.
