  1. Thanks for sharing this , I hadn't seen this one before . I don't build these but I always appreciate them when they are done up nice like this one.
  2. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=95470&page=1&#entry1298876 plus it is featured in this month's hot rod magazine. Sweet car and video
  3. I must be getting old are these vintage or rare? The box looks pretty beat up so I guess I don't see where the escalated price comes in.
  4. Also if you find yourself having a little color sneaking under the tape, you can use a clear coat prior to the color to help seal up the tape lines. As with all new techniques practice is required don't be dismayed if it doesn't work the first time .
  5. What kit is it from? Sometimes the rims go in the tire in a specific way . I know that this has probably already occurred to you or doesn't apply here but perhaps someone else doesn't know.
  6. If your using the easy off make sure it's in a well vented area the stuff is nasty. It works well but use gloves and a respirator .
  7. After checking out some prewar Plymouth I wish they would've picked something earlier like 1935 .mid thirties look great. Also maybe it's just me but the 1941 woody and the sedans look way better than the coupe. It just doesn't lend itself to customizing very well . I have several of these but just never had a good idea on how to build it.
  8. They are only $4.75 , which is a bargain if you take the time involved to make them into consideration. Dirtmodeler is a great company to order from fast delivery and very reasonable prices . As far as making them yourself it kind of depends on what materials you have on hand. It would probably be easier to find a set of rims that has the bead locks on them already. One idea that occurred to me is using paper to make them just cut it out and strengthen it with an epoxy then paint . I can't think of a cheaper way to do it hope this is helpful.
  9. Well it looks interesting , I suppose it depends on the melting point of the compounds. I'd also like to hear if anyone has used it.
  10. I am book marking that for reference , now I know where to put the dipstick.
  11. I am hoping to get logistics worked out so I can go .
  12. I have never been ,but I'd really like to go . So if you're going this year what are you looking forward to the most? http://www.gslchampionship.org/

  14. So are you opening the doors or is that just too much ? I'm a huge fan of this project.
  15. Looks great. I hope this inspires more aerovettes to be built. I think it would make a great GT car or rally and of course custom and street racer .
  16. That is almost better than actual race footage . Very impressive. I really liked the people in action.
  17. There is even a model of this car I think .or a die cast the movie is the pinch cliff grand prixhttp://www.bjergkobing.dk/koebemodel/koebemodellen.asp
  18. Paragraphix will be offering a nice decal and photo etch set for this kit. Mostly to detail the interior but it looks really nice. I'll post a link later.http://www.paragrafix.biz/
  19. I remember a Scooby-Doo episode "The Spooky case of the grand prix race" that had a race car powered by an airplane engine.
  20. Ron Pratt donated the futurliner for charity , so no sellers fees just a lot of veterans being helped .
