  1. I was hoping mine would be in today's mail, but no such luck.?
  2. I'll be checking my mailbox every day. ?
  3. I had a '63 Buick Lesabre convertible back in 1972-73 that had a leopard print top. I wish I still had a picture of it.
  4. I paid for a subscription by paypal on January 16 will I start with issue 208?
  5. This is our Carly. She's a rescue dog & spoiled rotten.
  6. Thanks for the input. I still have several other models I'm looking at before I choose, but this one is at the top of the list now.
  7. I'm thinking of getting one of these. Has anyone ever built one of these? Everything I've read about Heller models hasn't been very good so i don't want to waste my money on a junk model.
  8. Thanks for the info & yes, I'm going to subscribe today.
  9. I just did & I'll let everyone know when I get an answer.
  10. Is the magazine up & running regularly now. I'm thinking of subscribing today.?
  11. Just finished a trade with Sam I Am & would trade with him anytime. A very fair & honest trader.
  12. Thanks for the help. I'll get a can the next time I go to Menards & give it a try.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. The Rolling Stones in Nov. 1964 for my 12th birthday. The Shangri-las ( Leader of the pack ) opened for them.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I appreciate the help. I'll pick up some Led's today?
  20. 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?
  21. I'd like to see a 1961 Chrysler New Yorker. I had one back in 1970 when I first started driving.
  22. 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.
  23. I built the '55 Pontiac a few years ago & it came with the interior.
  24. 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.
