one of my favorite pastimes is sketching, so i am forever making drawings & research notes.

nothing! i got nothing! quotes - QuoDB

oft times this is a hard message to get across. some equate mere quantity with enjoyment. some just want to "do a poppa-wheelie."

i would not hesitate to use one on the hood And one on the trunk. maybe even cut off the mounting pin, sand one side flat, and add one for each of the doors, too. if you're gonna represent, may as well make it a 360 degree experience.

i didn't see your question, but the kit tires were kapoot so he used Revell motorcycle & sidecar tires. but that might not answer it either.

there seems to be a bigger variety now, but may have been mentioned earlier in this thread. (i don't have the energy to dig through 5 pages of disappointment - first & last were enough) starts around 4:15: https://youtu.be/Sc-ehkogTx0?si=1hzRGTlgL-EJNRKw&t=266

just in:

there's a YouTube channel that only builds show related cars. of course i forgot the name found it:

yes; michael parks

Todd & Buzz. amazed it took 3 pages to mention this show.

it's not the fenders; it's the running boards. fenders to the body in the rear/ cycle in the front. half-channel so enough frame shows to give the body some foundation. wheels are your choice; wouldn't want you to think i'm being manipulative.

maybe try one of the low rider forums? those guys are like all over the bombs & such. Model Cars | LayItLow.com Lowrider Forums

up here, we just get a bottle of Kiwi, a 2" brush, and have at it!

i don't know Cadillacs, but you might want to expand the search to photo-etch supplier. The Model Car Garage - The Model Car Garage Products – J&J Scale Designs

Q: is there an advantage to using these three products in one mixture: #71.262, #70.524, & #70.597 ? seems they all have some of the same properties. thanks

looks 100% better than stock kit frame.

duly noted!

room service?

the rabbit hole is getting deeper:

DISCLAIMER _ THIS IS NOT MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!!! after posting i reread it, and don't want anyone to think i'm sleazing in on this fellow's action. i am not intimidated with the work or tools involved in such an endeavor, but rather my naïveté of mechanical things in general.

i've tied myself up with this arithmetic stuff on a regular basis for seven decades, so hopefully someone will say if this proportion is accurate. 1" in 1:25 scale = .04000" 1" in 1:35 scale = .02857" (i understand the suggestion was for 1:32 scale; only looking for a starting point here) difference between .04000 - .02857 = .01143 per cent of difference (using online conversion) = 33.3% difference Percentage Difference Calculator so could i conclude 1:35 scale is one third smaller than 1:25? and then if i could get some real world dimensions of similar components, i would be able to determine their suitability? NOTE: perhaps the long way round, but this information would help with any component comparison, not just an engine. some learned from playing with scales: a 1:24 scale vehicle is 8x the volume of a 1:48 scale vehicle of like type. (2x wide/ 2x long/ 2x high)

the military guys seem to pull this stuff off: GAZ-51 engine 1/35 not sure if pilfering an engine from one of these would work: FORD civil car SERIES 1/35

you're not getting cut any slack here, young lady. we're all still trying to burn a candle to Dave Shuklis; and he was building better than us 60 years ago. for the historian in you: i think 5 out of the first 6 issues of Car Model Magazine covers featured Dave's creations, too. Car Model (Home)
