  1. Cool, nice job! Weathered just right! I always wondered who (or what?) operated that rear machine gun!
  2. I'll be spending a week enjoying (working in?) the Bloomington area for a week starting the 11th. I found a really nice slot car store but looking more for a Scale Model store (besides Hobby Blobby). Thanx in advance! -Raoul
  3. I'll put money on the F-85 Streaker.
  4. Received a nice email from Doug Ridge at Round2 and he stated that the 1934 Ford Sunoco decal sheet itself will probably be available sometime in September with the kit itself due out in a couple weeks.
  5. Found it Thanx!
  6. Where is this Order Sheet? I've looked on Round2's site and only find a Replacement Part form.
  7. I'll split the cost with you for the decal sheet! ?
  8. Am I seeing that right, you turned a hardtop into a sedan?
  9. LOL, it would be a plus! Didn't catch it as a FORD, sorry. ?
  10. Just a thought, what about a black strip across the top of the windshield and a Chevy banner?
  11. Wow, they should make breathalizers for keyboards to prevent drunkin posting...heh All I was trying to say is green is not my fav car color except for this and you've nailed it beautifully! It really does look like a real car in your pix.
  12. Thanx Pat. I did do a couple little things while waiting for parts, namely a winch. I thought the tailights looked a little fragile so I added a gusset to each and made a bottom to the screw jack.
  13. Green, Ugh. Green belongs on Army Fatigues. The *only* green I could stand on a car was this green, 1970 Plymouth. Even the interior was livable. Most green interiors (1:1) would make me gag after only a few miles, except for this one. Back in the early '70s I worked at a brand new Sunoco station and one of our customers had a '70 Plymouth Barracuda slant six auto(Column Shift), the exact color scheme you have going here. Like I said, green belongs on army fatigues but this was different, it was livable and you've really nailed it. Great Job! ?
  14. Just a thought, I would check the filters (both in AND out) on your compressor.
  15. Ha, forgot to add pictures. Polished (sanded) the fenders to see if I could get the paint marring out but ended up going through the paint so, seeing as how they were nicely sanded, I brush painted them with Testors Gloss black enamel... they came out alright. Yea, it's a fancy ast trailer for 1964! lol
  16. I thought of that as I picked the years for this project but the metal axles kinda necessitated that decision. They could change though! It's not like they're glued on er nothin... heh! It's a part of a long range project, maybe ending up with a diorama.
  17. Ha, I thought of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Number one in the Hood, G!
  18. Thanx guys, the FIreball set looks closest to what I'm looking for!
  19. Somebody on here will have an answer, that's why I love this place. Does anybody make old truck mirrors like these, 1/25ish?
  20. Nice trailer but I'm going for '63-'64 era look. I like the Tool Box idea though, Thanx! ?
  21. I did a search on Mark's Vintage Plastic Junkyard and found him on ebay... interesting stuff!
  22. The Wheels/Tires were 'Meh', painted the slots but it just wasn't doing it for me. Sprayed the wheels with Tamiya flat clear and they were close but still need something. So I installed the whitewall tires from the Chevy 3100 pickup I'm gonna build to pull it and Bango, I had it! Painted the taillights with some Model Master Red/Yellow Metalics, not too bad! More to come! Hope you enjoy this.
