  1. I saw this line of paint at Menards today. Has anyone tried it ? Is this their model paint with a different label? They've got quite a few colors & only $3.99 a can.
  2. Bummer! I've got four cans that say extreme lacquer I haven't used yet. I ordered them last fall so to late to send them back. I'll make sure I try them on some spare parts first.
  3. This is the first time I've used these adhesive whitewalls & I'm having a hard time getting the tape off after putting them on the tire without destroying the whitewall. I've tried taking the tape off first before putting it on the tire & ruin it & I've tried rubbing the whitewall down as tight as possible on the tire & still have no luck getting the tape off without pulling the whitewall off with it. I appreciate any help with this.
  4. The Rolling Stones in Nov. 1964 for my 12th birthday. The Shangri-las ( Leader of the pack ) opened for them.
  5. Same here. My Brother has a friend who builds & races slot cars. He only uses the body & hood, then gives the rest to my Brother to give to me.
  6. I ended up getting a 150 watt, 2200 lumen, 5000k LED bulb & what a difference compared to the cfl. It's like going from night to a sunny day. My old eyes can actually see so much better. It makes it a lot easier working on my models. I couldn't find a CRI anywhere on the box but I'm still happy with lighting it throws out. Thanks everybody for your help.
  7. I appreciate the help. I'll pick up some Led's today?
  8. I have a pole lamp & have been using a cfl bulb in it. I need to replace it & I'm not sure whether to get another cfl or go for an led or corn lights. What's the best one for modeling?
  9. I'd like to see a 1961 Chrysler New Yorker. I had one back in 1970 when I first started driving.
  10. It's the correct interior for the '55 & it looks like it's plastic. I can't say for sure without taking the model apart but from what I can see I'm betting it's plastic. The windows are clear, not tinted. I also had bought the '56 Olds & it came with the interior.
  11. I built the '55 Pontiac a few years ago & it came with the interior.
  12. That's a Gorgeous car. My Mom had a '55 red & white 98 starfire convertible with a continental kit back in the early 60's. If I would have about 10 years older She would have never traded it in.
  13. I got a new computer & I'm changing my email address. I've tried to do this on the old computer & the new one but I don't receive an email at my new address on the new computer to activate it. If I change my email back to the old address I then receive an email on my old computer to activate the old address.
  14. My Mom had one of these back in the 60's. 1955 Olds 98 Starfire convertiblei I had one of these back in 1970-71. 1956 Mercury Monterey
  15. Completed a great trade with Bigtruck. Would gladly trade with him again.
  16. I got a 1954 Pontiac promo from Ken Krewier ( Bigtruck)
  17. I'm a BIG Beatles fan & know who he is. Good for him that he could look back with no regrets. I'm betting It would be mighty hard for most people to live with knowing they said no to the biggest group in rock history. It took Pete Best years to able to live with being thrown out right before they hit it big. RIP Johnny.
  18. Our fur baby is Carly. She's a stray that turned up a few years ago. Always happy, loves going for walks & owns the house. A real sweetheart I couldn't imagine not having.
  19. I might be interested in one of the Toronadoes & a couple other kits. What are you looking for in trades? I'm also interested in checking out the models not listed.

  20. [II built this kit a while back. My Brother got it for me at Goodwill for $1.00.
  21. I never had any idea anyone brought out a '73. I owned one of these back in the '80's & have wanted to build a copy for years. Would prefer a detailed 1/25 but I'll be happy with a 1/32 just to have a model of one.
  22. It's a farm & ranch store. They sell a lot of different things but it's mainly for the farm.
  23. I stopped by a Big R store today & saw this paint. It says it sticks to anything, including plastic. I'd like to try it but would like to know if has anyone used it so I can see if it's worth buying.
  24. RIP Marty. I've always been a fan of Jefferson Airplane. So many 60's rockers are passing. When you're young you don't think that they'll get old & die one of these days. Then as time goes by & you find they do age & die like everyone else.
