  1. I like the concept, but the four door proportions seem off. After I finish my current builds and my F-150, I might try one. exterior looks like a roof and upper panels from an AMT Phantom van grafted to a Super Stones F-150 might be doable.
  2. some how I managed to post the same question twice. I was mistaken withe Texas 3d. They have Mopar slant sixes and GM in-lines. VCG is the one with 240/ 300 sixes listed. the stock is a 1 bbl carb. there are hotrod, performance, and vintage race versions as well.
  3. VCG has several inlines listed as 240/ 300 sixes. Stock has a carb. there are also vintage racer, hot rod, and performance versions.
  4. thank you both. I just realized I have that kit. If I find that 300/ 4.9 I will post the source. I know Texas 3D does have a 300 in several variations, but not the "late" EFI.
  5. I'm trying to replicate my truck, a '93 F-150, ex county work truck special. So I'm looking for a source for Ford Type 9 mirrors and a 300 six. I do know the mirrors were in the Revell Explorer, but were they in any other kits? photo of the mirrors attached. I know I've seen a 90's 300 six in factory trim somewhere (resin or 3d print) but can't remember who was selling them. Thanks for any help.

  7. Thank you! I wonder where I picked up the Buick engine. Now if I can find the rest of the engine I can use it.
  8. 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
  9. These (or something similar) were in the Revell Hot Rod series edition of the Lil' John Butera Model T and '34 Roadster.
  10. Something different. Anything that is not another Chevy, Mustang, Charger, Challenger, Cuda etc. We have enough of those already.
  11. 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)
  12. 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.
  13. Blobular I can accept. if it was a Chevy, I'd be looking for a replacement.
  14. I have this kit. please tell me that the hot rod engine is not a Chevy.
  15. Gone Fishin', sealed so no copies of instruction. Dodge ram charger
  16. 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
  17. I will look for the instructions and post them some time tomorrow. would you like a pic of the parts too?
  18. I have the Yamaha version if you would like a copy of the instructions the instructions.
  19. did anyone ever post pictures or instructions?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
