I've actually used the floor polish technique that I got from a YouTube'r. I did it on a Green Hornet Black Beauty car model. It works great. Oh, I love your "Murphy's 1st Law" quote. So true. But, and again, from YouTube, I discovered the liquid glue that seems to seep between the two parts and dissolve the plastic causing it to become one piece. So I've been using it for this model. I like it in that I can do a test fit, shave/file/sand if needed to improve the fit and then just hold the two pieces together and gently brush on the glue along the seams. It dries bonds quickly (30 sec. or so). Love it.

Ah, I've not yet hit up eBay. Thank you. Yes, many of those look good to me.

It may not be that pretty I'm afraid. Well, actually, I take that back. The ugly parts are what you won't see. The suspension components were compromised (i.e. broken) and the engine isn't exactly as it should be but if you keep the hood down and don't turn it over, I think it'll look pretty good. I'm debating on the body color. It was molded in what to my memory of seeing one in person, is what it should be but I've seen some photos where it's more of an orange/bronze color. I'm tempted to just leave it as is and put a high gloss coat over it.

Hi Matt. I'm very much into the 1960's, 70's US cars like the ones shown above in "Cool Hands" post.

Thanks! And those are all of the vintage (60's, 70's) that I'm interested in.

I'm 66. The last time I built a model I was maybe 13. So, obviously I'm a bit rusty. I recently found a wonderful JO-HAN Chrysler Turbine model kit. Loved that car as a kid so I was anxious to build this one. Well, I'm nearing the finish and boy, it's been rough. Lots of little, no, tiny parts that are very difficult to fit together (broke many). It doesn't help that I've got a tremor in my left hand. It's going to still look great but it won't be as the instructions ordered. Anyway, I'd like to build more cars but I'm curious, are there any kits out there that are, well, let say more beginner friendly, with maybe fewer tiny, detailed parts? Thanks

Does anyone know of any kit for each of those specific cars? I've been searching and have yet to find one. Thanks.
