  1. I bought one ( 71 Impala Convertible ) and it wasn't to bad , could have been better . But I enjoy a bit of a challenge . Would I buy another one from them ? Answer would be yes
  2. The closest one that comes to mind is the 57 Road Master by ModelHaus , could be done with a few trim changes .
  3. Wow thanks , looks like I'll have to get a couple of them . Things are looking great so far with the mock up.
  4. I had started to ask if anyone had had a problem , I'm wondering if there just may have been a bad batch of paints make it's way to the store self. I've never really had a problem before now. But on the other hand this is the first can paint I have bought in a long time as well. Most of my paint is bought in a jar and used in a air brush.
  5. As matter of fact I had the same problem just a few day ago with Testors Flame Red lacquer , and its still pretty soft after more than 10 days
  6. Love it , great looking nostalgic NASCAR , don't see many of them being built any more . It's got my attention
  7. Good deal thanks Art , I'll be looking forward to their coming to the self for sure.
  8. I was going though some links and at Plastic Models . com they are listing the Hudson and Chrysler as coming in early Oct. as well as Int'l Lonestar at a price of $52.95 and a price of $ 21.79 for the Hudson and Chrysler . Art is this about right for this release date ? Here's the link for anyone who might want to see it . http://www.towerhobbies.com/plastic/listings/1-25_scale_car_model.html
  9. I'm a newbie around here Johnny and never like to hear this kind of news , glad to hear things are looking up and will keep you and your wife in my prayers.
  10. It's not a real problem unless your wanted , I like the idea of real names as well here in this form. Think it add's something that other place's are misssing.
  11. It was called FORD MAGICCRUISER-1 and haven't seen a picture of it in years , I kinda thought it was a cool car in it's day. I believe it could have come close to a production car , ford did a second version of it in 1967 MAGICCRUISER-2. Ford always seen to come up wit some great ideas in the past as well as a few bad one's to LOL. FORD MAGICCRUISER-1 FORD MAGICCRUISER-2
  12. Man that thing look fantastic , love the red and bumpers painted to match .
  13. There is a crud 78 Lincoln mark 5 in resin available .
  14. Awwwww that's nice , good to see another oldie saved . Hope to see them come back some day. Love them old Nova's Keep up the good work
  15. Well most smaller cars folded like tin can's , always like the retro design but it was what it was a small under powered car that started with a bang and ended . Same as many cars in our life time , Edsel , Corvair and so on. If you were born in the 40ies or 50ies then you"ve seen a lot of then come and go. PT Cruiser will be just one more we'll add to the long list.
  16. Well looks like the little under powered car is about to become a memory , kinda wish Chrysler had keep up with the times adding more power under the hood and a few upgrades over the years , I remember when it can out a lot of cars guys were adding some great paint scheme's to it. My daughter wanted one so bad , had some fun one Christmas and bought a die cast placed it under the tree after I had a friend at a Dodge dealer make me two new dummy keys. Gave her the key's and told her they were for her new PT Cruiser. Well to make a long story short it didn't go over well with her LOL. The story ; http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1470/chrysler-discontinues-pt-cruiser/
  17. Love the color combo , awesome looking build
  18. I keep a can of Braso on hand it makes a great all round polish for glass and even rubbing out paint work. Just one more product you may want to keep in mind.
  19. Watching the final laps and Little D is looking good , green / white/ checker finish is coming up. hope to see him win this.
  20. Oh yea , love that stance should make for a great build .
  21. Wow great looking project and the coni kit really looks nice , love the style and lines of the 58 Olds, Have a few of my own projects from that era need to get back to. Love to see those on the store self some day.
  22. Cuz I want my second childhood to be more fun than my first one , and I got my own money and don't have to ask mom and dad , and my wife said I never grew up that I'm just an over grow kid @ 56. Wow life is good.
  23. Might check E-Bay I saw three on there yesterday from 24.95 up
  24. I have had luck using brake fluid to remove these type of paints,in some cases I have had to do a light sanding to break the finish so it would penetrate and attack the paint. Dont use on a resin body.
  25. Some were I think I seen a 57 ambulance but still a lot of fab work will need to be done. Love to see it under glass , it would be a cool piece for sure.
