  1. Something different. Anything that is not another Chevy, Mustang, Charger, Challenger, Cuda etc. We have enough of those already.
  2. 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)
  3. 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.
  4. Blobular I can accept. if it was a Chevy, I'd be looking for a replacement.
  5. I have this kit. please tell me that the hot rod engine is not a Chevy.
  6. Gone Fishin', sealed so no copies of instruction. Dodge ram charger
  7. 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
  8. I will look for the instructions and post them some time tomorrow. would you like a pic of the parts too?
  9. I have the Yamaha version if you would like a copy of the instructions the instructions.
  10. did anyone ever post pictures or instructions?
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Could also be fender mount mirrors.
  15. 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!
  16. 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.
  17. please delete. I found the parts.
  18. 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?
  19. 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?
  20. Fastbacks were common. Any one know of notchbacks, aside from the !990 LX drag racer?
  21. One could always do what they did in the real world: scallops or some other design to cover the flaw so you don't have to worry about a color match!
  22. has anyone tried the Testor's version? I have the two Countach set, minus the ball cap that came with it. I've thought of using it for a Cannonball build-a-thon. I've got the ambulance, stockcar and Countach kits from the movie series. were there any others?
