Can someone tell me the difference between the two issues of the AMT Gremlin that came out recently? Are the boxes different sizes/shapes?

You can get some solid core phone wire. It will have four colors in it. Red, yellow, black and green. These can be used for all sorts of fuel hoses, air lines, electrical lines, etc. The solid core will allow you to bend it to shape and have it remain that way.

There's a couple guys that have made truck stops in 1/64 that are twice as big as that terminal. That takes a lot of space!

Siiiiiiigh................

That says "Benson Shelby" That's Carrol's body double! LOL Seriously though, it doesn't even look like it says "Carrol"? On the autograph thing in general, I just laugh when I hear that someone expects money for their signature! What a joke! Just because they can do something well, I should bow down to them and beg for them to sign something for me???? They should be grateful to have admirers who care enough to look up to them in the first place!!!! When you do get a signature, all it means is that person touched that object at one time, period! Do you honestly think they would even remember it or you after the thousands of things they sign? I feel that people who pay way more for something just because it's signed are pure suckers!

AMT could have left off the "yard" and " dog" from the name!

Pretty sweet!!!!!!!

That would clean the edge up but the edge is already too far outward, towards the sides of the hood. There is supposed to be a white pinstripe at the edge of the black and a black pinstripe next to the white to where it looks like the black panel has a bordering pintripe. The problem is that the black pinstripe itself is supposed to lay on top of the hood, not down along the side.

Cool, I've been looking for a place to buy some really thin pinstriping tape! Thanks Gregg! What I could really use right now would be a tiny black pinstripe with a Wimbledon White pinstripe right next to it. I know that probably doesn't exist though.

Oh great, this pair of underwear won't be clean ever again!

That bug sure looks real!!!!!!!!!!!! Very convincing!

Very sorry to hear of her passing. Just remember, you have a lot of people here that care about you.

I think it's single stage automotive paint. Not sure if it's enamel or laquer though. I'll have to check with my friend that painted it. I know he mixed it off Ford paint codes.

Hi Nick, yes, I agree and that is what I do when I paint. However, I didn't paint this one. I traded the same cab and hood (I mastered them) to a friend that had just done the same paint job and had the Ford colors. Everything turned out really nice other than the edges of the black on the top of the hood.

This pic will help explain a little more.

Hey Dick, it's actually gets a black pinstripe outline. The problem is that the edge of the painted black is too far towards the rounded edge of the hood where it drops down the side. The pinstripe is supposed to be where the edge of the black panel currently resides.

That's a heck of great deal!!!!!

Hello all, I have a body that is painted white on the side and black on the top. The black has left a ragged edge where the paint bled under the tape. It's in a straight line on a flat surface with a gradual curve. (top of a truck hood) I was thinking of taking vinyl pinstriping tape and placing on top of the black right where the sharp edge is supposed to be and then lightly wet sanding the edge trying not to sand through the white to "knock" off the ragged edge. I was wondering if someone here might have a better suggestion?

Umm, I only saw one, the huge V24 Detroit. Were there others?

Hey Virgil, for your "wet look" shots, couldn't you just take a large flat sheet of plastic, paint it gloss black and then shoot a bunch of clear on it and polish it out? You could move it to where you wanted it and your model wouldn't get wet! Just a suggestion.

Here ya go, this came in the Yugo!

Looks like a Pontiac 4 cyl. Possibly from a Grand Am?

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the Pete, trailer and General!

Like Gordon said, the Beall tanker is your best bet. I don't believe there are any other semi elliptical tanker kits even available other than the old IMC/Testors milk type tanker. Adding a third axle wouldn't be too much trouble. Jamie Rahmoeller, a member of the forum here, sells a very nice air ride trailer suspension (by the axle) that even has real rubber air bags. It would be a huge improvement over the Beall kit suspension.

Dave's a great guy and one heck of a truck builder!!!!!!!!!
