rattle can man

4 AMT '64 Riviera built ups. Combined with the partial kit I had' I can almost rebuild three (just need a hood for a 4th). Weird thing is the stock taillights are missing from all 5. I have enough custom taillights for 4. I've already posted in the wanted section.

And I believe it Johan, not AMT.

it is actually a '62 Olds Cutlas

I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for: AMT '64 Riviera 3 sets of taillights and 1 hood (for rebuilders) AMT '63 Cutlas F-85 convertible complete interior, hood, and windshield Custom parts from AMT 63-67 corvettes. Just looking for something to jazz-up one of the ugliest (IMO)generations of 'Vette. I have a large stash if you want to trade for something.

Thank you for the reply. I was hoping it was commercially available.

might I ask where you got the desk top organizer?

I'd love one of them. Can you pm with details on getting one?

I'm not sure if it helps, but there is a thread on chrome paints somewhere on the forum.

a big salute from a U.S. Vet.

lowridermodelcarparts.com has a visor for a '51 Chevy.

I came up with 47mm for the AMT and 54mm for the Revell. I'm not sure what trim you are talking about, so I measured in front of the hinges.

Is the Gangbusters 1927 Lincoln roadster really 1:25 scale? It seems out of scale when compared to a deuce. Is it because they just tooled it to fit on the same chasis as the '28 Sport Phaeton? I would expect it to be larger than a Ford, but it seems to be a different scale.

Where do you get your Leveling 400? I know it is not available locally. And the Big Name website I looked at only had large bottles.

All 3 are plagued with those pinholes. From the photos in your build, you have the look. This is quite similar in style. Have you thought about using rolled pans from 49 Merc. 50 Fords, etc as a starting point?

I found them. I have three Hoppin Hydros custom visors. I believe they are actually for a 39ish vehicle, maybe Chevy. They are resin and will need work to smooth them. I tacked one to an olds. If you would like one, PM me with your address.

haven't gotten to it yet. Yesterday's battle to keep my basement dry aggravated my health issues.

much needed rain all day. Had to bail the sump for a bit. turns out the outlet was blocked. when i went out to clear it my GF told me not to (a cold and still in a sling post surgery. So she does love me. But if it wasn't cleared, my stash could be flood damaged!

motorcycle models? model train detail parts?

I spray a few projects in spring and fall when It's not too hot or too cold. then hide in the AC/ heat and build the rest of the year

Let me dig through my stash this weekend. I may have some old Hoppin' Hydros visors for a 50ish Chevy. And I have an Olds kit to check them against.

I tried Bona floor polish as a clear coat. Brushed over Krylon sprayed 2-3 months ago and decals from two days ago. No reaction after a day. Long term, we will see what happens. It has a decent shine (good enough to represent a fifties daily driver, home built hot rod), maybe polishing or waxing would help.

I would guess the chrome part migh be a supercharger and associated parts? The white parts look like a modern v-8 intake with a cone filter.

And why do efforts to "improve" (colorize and/or digitally remaster) old movies look so bad?

I never had a problem with it not drying. but I did have a can that let the orange from the plastic bleed through no matter how many coats applied. if t is sealer, I would think it shouldn't bleed through.

Rain!! finally. First time with more than .01" since Aug.
