I need to confirm my ID guesses on the following two things. The first I believe a body is from the Orange Crate or a derivative. The second pic I believe is a Buick nail head from AMT, but I don't recall what kit

These (or something similar) were in the Revell Hot Rod series edition of the Lil' John Butera Model T and '34 Roadster.

Thanks for the positive post. I've been going back through all of the posts on the forum and see a lot of negativity; and a lot of encouragement too.

Blobular I can accept. if it was a Chevy, I'd be looking for a replacement.

grilling ideas?
rattle can man replied to rattle can man's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the input. Since I'm going '60's show car with a four cylinder with Riley conversion, not a driver, I don't think I have to worry about real world functionality. Some of those cars were not drivable anyway. I think it will be a chopped '32 shell with the custom inert from the '34 pick-up after playing around a bit last night. -
Starting a new project and I would like some thoughts on a grille. I am mating the chopped model T coupe body from the double T kit to the fenders from an original Ala Kart. Then it is going on the model A frame with the hopped-up model A four from the Ala Kart/ model A double kit. likely a dropped front axel and banjo rear (although I do have a quick change center section as a possibility). I have model T, 29 Model A, '32 Ford grille (thinking tweedy pie type cut down), 29 pick-up track nose, or tractor grille (generic using the 55 Chevy pick-up fender trick). Maybe cobble something from left over 40 or 36 Ford kit front end parts? Your thoughts or other ideas are appreciated.

Chrome Reverse Wheels
rattle can man replied to bluestringer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Remember that reversed wheels usually have a deeper offset. The center is cut form a factory wheel, turned 180 degrees in the opening and welded back together. The result is a deeper wheel, but less offset/ back spacing. The track may be wider and the brakes may be exposed a little mor as well. -
MPC 1978 Dodge D100 Part Question
rattle can man replied to Jim B's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Could also be fender mount mirrors. -
I acquired a Revell Kustom Rolls/VW kit a while ago. finally took a closer look at the contents and found It is missing an entire sprue of parts that has the frame tunnel, the custom body parts, and a few other stock parts. It is kit number H-1322, dated 1973. Can I use any Revell VW for the stock parts, or was a new tool done at some point? The custom parts that are missing should be easy to fabricate. Thanks!

Easy way to find that lost part in the carpet
rattle can man replied to Jon Cole's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I have one of those human powered sweepers. Just a brush that goes around as you push it. Less muck to look through to find your part. -
please delete. I found the parts.

Looking for fox body fastback Mustang??
rattle can man replied to 2zwudz's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Fastbacks were common. Any one know of notchbacks, aside from the !990 LX drag racer?
