  1. 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
  2. These (or something similar) were in the Revell Hot Rod series edition of the Lil' John Butera Model T and '34 Roadster.
  3. Something different. Anything that is not another Chevy, Mustang, Charger, Challenger, Cuda etc. We have enough of those already.
  4. flathead colors link: A little Help With Engine Color - US ONLY - The Flat-Spot (myflatheadford.com) Ford engine colors 1959-71 link Correct Ford Engine Colors (galaxieclub.com)
  5. 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.
  6. Blobular I can accept. if it was a Chevy, I'd be looking for a replacement.
  7. I have this kit. please tell me that the hot rod engine is not a Chevy.
  8. Gone Fishin', sealed so no copies of instruction. Dodge ram charger
  9. Boxes are open, but sealed inside. I'd like to keep them that way. but here are the instructions. I will also post the Hemi hydro/ ski boat and pics of the boxes
  10. I will look for the instructions and post them some time tomorrow. would you like a pic of the parts too?
  11. I have the Yamaha version if you would like a copy of the instructions the instructions.
  12. did anyone ever post pictures or instructions?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Could also be fender mount mirrors.
  17. 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!
  18. 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.
  19. please delete. I found the parts.
  20. looking for original issue Ala Kart front crossmember and tail lights. I have 400 kits and two shelves of parts, so what do you need?
  21. Looking for a set of undamaged Johan Heavenly Hearse decals. I've got a stash of 400 kits and two shelves of parts. what do you need?
  22. Fastbacks were common. Any one know of notchbacks, aside from the !990 LX drag racer?
