I bought one of these cars back in the mid'90's. It was a 1988. I bought it from a car lot for $1200.00. It was a nice little car to drive. I had it till around 2002 when the strut towers started rusting out & made it unsafe to drive. I sold it to a junkyard & they rebuilt the towers & resold it. They are based on a Chevette platform. I had to replace a few front suspension parts & found if I bought them for a Chevette they were the same & a whole lot cheaper. I found the testors version of the kit in a drugstore in a small town I was passing thru in 1998. Of course I bought it. I think they were selling it for around $7.00.

I'm usually careful who I buy from but the Hobby Wheels site looked legit & I was stupid enough not to look up their reviews. I ordered a model on Feb.19 & never got it. No answers to emails or phone calls since then. I filed for a refund from my bank, emailed the BBB & wrote a letter to the Pennsylvania Attorney General to try & help put these scammers out of business.

That's a beauty! I'm building one & while it's looking good it won't come near as good as yours.

I had a '71 Chevy Impala back in the fall of 1984 that ate oil at a rate of a quart every 20 miles. I had to clean the oil off the plugs every night after I got home from work so it would start the next morning to go to work & reclean them when I got off work to go home & my job was only 8 miles from home. It smoked so bad it was like setting in a fog when I had to stop. Unbelievably a neighbor offered me &125.00 for the car knowing what shape it was in.

I pick several models out I'd like to build & have my wife pick one. It takes me forever to pick one myself.

I love the model reviews also. They help me decide if I want to get a certain model. A big plus, they're a lot more complete compared to Scale Autos reviews.

Has anyone dealt with this company? I ordered a model from them in mid Feb. & on Feb. 19 my order was confirmed & the money taken from my bank. So far I haven't heard a thing from them. I've emailed them twice & nothing. Maybe I'm rushing things but that's why I'm wondering if anyone here has heard of them or had any problems with them before I contact my bank to try & get my money back.

Got my issue today. Going to renew my subscription soon. MCM is a lot better than SAE ever was.

Thanks. I thought it would but I wanted to make sure before ordering it.

I'm building a Palmer '63 Pontiac Bonneville that doesn't come with a windshield. Would a .005 sheet of plastic be thin enough to conform to the window frame? If not what is a good substitute to use?

It's hard to pick one. My Mom took my brother & me to see the Rolling Stones for my 11nth birthday in Nov. 1964. I remember the police were lined up across the front of the stage & the screaming was so loud you could barely hear them. I also saw the Who in late 1967 during there instrument destroying days. I couldn't hear right for days afterwards they were so loud. My Wife & I saw Paul McCartney in Indianapolis in Feb. 1990 & I'm a big Beatles fan.

I don't have any painters tape or WD-40 but I do have rubbing alcohol & it worked. Thanks for the help.?

I painted a model with Rustoleum 2xx paint. I then used Bare metal foil. Pulling it off has left a lot of adhesive on the paint & I'm not sure what to use on this paint without ruining it to get it off.

I owned one of these back in the 1970's. Gorgeous cars. Unfortunately some idiot ran a red light & totaled it.

Mine arrived also. Looks like a great issue.

It wouldn't load for me also.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Got mine in Pierceton, In. today. ?

Got mine today. It looks like another great issue.?

Forthlin is the street Paul Mccartney of the Beatles lived on in his younger days.

Not yet. Hoping it's soon.?

Thanks. I'll go for the Tamiya acrylic.

I've looked on every site I can find to buy a bottle of this & can't find any. Does anyone know where to get this or isn't it sold anymore? If not what's the best equivalent?
