Texas 3D has a single 4bbl intake in one of their flathead kits, but it doesn't look like they sell it separately. You could email and ask, worst they could say is no. On the flip side, if you have a stock flatty intake, it's not too hard to fabricate one from there.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/115941939322 It's for the '55 Cameo, but the bed floor is the same as the stepside kit.

40+ years? It might feel that way, but eBay has only been around since 1997.

That is an absolutely beautiful color. Nice work!

Yeah, the forward trim part on these were just a dull aluminum. I've seen them painted white and also in black, but AFAIK nothing like that came from the factory.

Nice work on that oldie. It builds up into a really sweet looking model. It's certainly a really unique color. IIRC, the kit was first released in the late 70s. I picked up my first and only copy of the kit in 1983.

AFAIK, the closest you're going to get in plastic currently is the Revellogram '50 F1, an Iceman resin '51-'52 grille, and a good bit of scratchbuilding. Resin Model Ranch had a '51/'52 conversion kit available a while back but I don't think it's currently available.

It's not a test shot, the first issues of the Z/28 were blue plastic.

Sweet build. Excellent call on the white roof and R/T stripe, especially against the purple. Clean interior, too. I dig it!

If you're talking about the actual movie car, it is probably LeMans blue. There is a possibility it is Dusk Blue, as that was also an available COPO color, but that is a darker shade than the movie car IMHO. The movie car was a replica and not a real Yenko, so I don't know how particular you want to get. Are you trying to build a Yenko or the car from 2F2F?

According to the box art, it's a 534 Super Duty V8.

I'm digging the blue/blue color combo. Is all the interior chrome BMF or Molotow (or other chrome paint)? Do the tires have pad printed whitewalls, or are they the type with the white plastic inserts? It's been decades since I've built one of these, so I don't remember what the kit came with originally. I've personally had white plastic whitewalls act like this, and my guess was that it was some reaction between the tire compound and the insert. I couldn't find a solution short of new tires, though. If they are pad printed, I guess you have the option of trying to remove the sticky mess with some sort of solvent, although I would be concerned about marring the surface of the tire and making it worse.

To my eyes, that looks much better than the current Revell K5. Nice bit of work!

IIRC, the 1:25 Revellogram Camaro was based on their 1:12 kit. The bigger kit has a separate transmission crossmember, which makes installing the engine with the headers in place much easier. The 1:25 model has that crossmember molded in, making fitting the engine with the headers in place somewhat of a pain. It's per the instructions, though, and has been a bugaboo of this kit - small block or big block versions - since it was released in 1990.

It made me think of the aluminum covers from the late '70s - early '80s made to fit the 9" and look like a quick change rear!

That's a super neat & clean build. The interior is sharp! I'm digging the "not Plum Crazy" purple,too.

Duplicolor had a paint called Nite Lites which was reflective particles in a clear carrier. It worked somewhat well, but I believe they discontinued it. You might be able to get a similar effect with a clear pearl coat. But that depends on the look you're hoping to achieve. Reflective vinyl is an option, if you find a product that isn't too thick.

I certainly wasn't calling anyone out. I had just not seen those kits in anything but black plastic. I've built a lot of them. I have 3 or 4 of them in the stash, bought at various times over the last 25+ years, and all of them are molded in black. Well, except for the one that's still sealed. For all I know, that one could be molded in gray. Thanks for posting the pic.

Man oh man, that screams late '60s goodness! The green & black are classic, and those wires just complete the look. I can smell the enamel in the air!

Sweet Mopar! I'm digging the color...and those boxes in the trunk. Such a clean build. Very nicely done.

A friend who does resin casting jewelry and trinkets uses them to color resin. I'm not sure how they would spray through an airbrush, or even if they were meant to be used that way. I'm sure you would need to change the tip size, at the very least.

Lots of cool & interesting stuff going on here. I'm really curious about that rear end. Is that a quick change grafted onto a Ford 9"?
