58 Impala

Very cool idea, would have never thought of it. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

You might try Modelhaus, if anybody has them Don would.

I had a can of rustoleum do the same thing. I had a can of light blue to paint an engine and accidentally left it in a hot car. The bottom swelled out and I found it before it turned my gray cloth interior. Won't make that mistake twice.

I used to have a 65 Impala convertible, 283 small block w/power glide. It was Canary yellow with black top and interior. Also had a red 69 Chevelle with a 307/power glide at the same time. Both cars were easy to work on I could literally climb in the engine comp.(I'm 6ft tall) if I had to. Those were the days, now you can barely fit your hand anywhere under the hood.

Wow. I've looked at your last several posts, you do some very clean model building. Your paint jobs are flawless. Nice work.

The F1 engines are getting smaller and smaller, it's a shame. Nothing beats those V10's screaming to 22,000 rpm's.

Very nice builds, cool idea building in 4 different scales.

Nice job, thanks for the tip on scale finishes paint. Love F1 kits also, especially Tamiya's they just pretty much fall together.

Nice job so far, I've always wanted to try that build myself. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Have never seen any of those combos, but wouldn't mind any of them in my collection. Especially the Galaxy and Falcon kit.

I've noticed one thing while browsing their site, it seems that 90% of their items are either out of stock or back ordered. Do you need to wait six months for your order?

At least twice a month with the 40% coupon on my I phone. They have a really good selection of current kits. In the last several months I've purchased 2 Paasche H air brushes ($95) - 1 for $53 and the other with a gift card from my son plus the 40% I got one for around $25.

I am interested in buying from HLJ because of the extensive collection of Japanese kits and accessories. There is no US company that I know of sells a lot of this stuff. In particular right now I'm looking for aftermarket wheels.

Thanks guys for the info, I'll give them a shot.

Was thinking about buying some items from HLJ, but you have to log in as a member. Has anyone dealt with them? Are they reputable? Any inputs would be appreciated.

That's pretty cool, I've never seen a 58 Impala hearse. I've only seen a Yoeman or Brookwood wagon.

Picked up 5 Tamiya kits: - Porsche 962C -Toyota 84C - Mercedes C9 - Mercedes SLR - Porche GT - Scale Motorsports PE for the Porsche GT - Carbon fiber decal sheet All for $40.

No Rob, all the models are judged. Go to our Facebook page and the flyer explains the type of judging.

Just bumping the thread. Hope to see some of you there.

Just made a post about the ads and got deleted in 10 minutes. That's got to be one of the quickest. Too bad congress can't move that fast. Lol. My bad, it got moved.

Is it just my computer or does everyone have the same thing. Now when you open one of the categories the second thread down is an advertisement. I know it pays the bills but I prefer it be in an innocuous corner somewhere. I just discovered when you open a thread it's on every one. Very annoying.

I've been meaning to go to the museum. Our car model club put on a small model show a few years ago at the first Billetproof car show, but we were so busy most of us didn't get a chance to go through the museum. I did do the second best thing last week looking for photos, I emailed them asking for some detailed photos if possible. They haven't responded yet, but hopefully they'll send some. I still plan on making it to the museum, several of my friends said its awesome.

Don't if I should have posted here or Drag Racing. I'm looking for detailed photos of Swamp Rat 19 specifically the engine and cockpit area. I'm wanting to do a detailed build of Revell's 1/16 scale Swamp Rat 19.The only clear photo I can find is on Garlits' website and its a 3/4 front shot with no great detail. If anyone has any clear detailed photos or know where I can find clear detailed photos, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
