I have a buddy in the UK who asked me about sending some plastic parts to me so I could get them chrome plated by someone here - but the postage would be quite expensive and there's a decent chance of them getting lost in the mail... Do any of our English members here know of a chrome plating service for model parts that I can recommend to him? I figured someone here might have an idea of who's good...

That Deucedsel even has fuel in the lines!

I wish we had one in Manhattan - these cheap deals everyone is posting about are killing me!

I loved the work you did on the rear end there - too cool!

Oh wow! What a cool build! I love how it's turned out!

Looks gorgeous so far! The paint and interior look great! What do you need to do next?

Looks gorgeous! The interor is really nice in particular! What color did you use for the interior?

Most boring looking muscle car I ever saw

Great insight, thanks Misha! Me too! Can't beat a Deuce! I wouldn't mind one of those MPC 32 sedans either, I've seen a few on eBay but they're usually more than I can justify

Oh dude, that SUCKS. Those mats are TERRIBLE for doing that, even on completely cured paint. I HATE those things now!

I heard that there's an international conspiracy to do with the boxes and that someone in China doodled on the box art so they couldn't color copy the boxes anymore. It's a secret tho

That's a cool build! But $1100 - wow! That's a big investment! Cool though, like I say, I love these little 500s!

There's a good store called Jan's on 96th (the east side) that has some plastic kits on the shelf too - the owner is kinda cranky but they have some cool stuff sometimes!

The Michaels in Manhattan (Avenue of the Americas) stocks a few kits and paint and glues...worth a look if you're nearby!

I was always kinda interested in this kit too, but Lord only knows what this thing actually looks like inside the box

I picked up a couple of those kits to build the racecar versions of this kit - as you correctly state they don't feature the parts shown on the box. Would've been cool if they did! Still a good source for this kit though, until we see a reissue!

Awesome! I'm gonna look at these too! Thanks Mike!

Thanks for sharing Kevin! There's some AWESOME builds there. I LOVE this! And this hearse is CRAZY! So many cool builds though! Thanks for posting the pics!

Seeing as how you've started building it, I'll give you $4 right now

Ahh, so Round 2 has the AMT tooling huh? Excellent - I hope they reissue it! Thanks Brett!

Is there a good place to view pics from the show?

I really like the AMT 32 kit - it isn't the most detailed comapred to the Revell Deuce kits, but it's still cool in it's own way! I remember, maybe 10 yers ago, they could be had for peanuts and everyone seemed to be stocking them but not any more. Best I can find is ones like this on eBay for $35 or so. What happened to this line of kits? Did AMT fold and they stopped making them? Is it considered a rare kit now? I kinda wish I'd stocked up when I had chance (and the extra cash)... It seems to be that the Vicky kit is slightly more readily available, and the more detailed buiding options for the chassis of that one are cool, but I DO like the 5 window body

Me too, assuming I could afford it. Very cool!

Who IS Pedro?

How cool! I love it! Great looking build! I need to build a 32 drag car of some sort!
