  1. The orange 72 chevelle you posted has a 69 hood on it.
  2. I just dug this one out of a junk box, doesn't really look like it in the pic but it has a lot of glue on it.
  3. I agree on the Revell Snap-Tite kits the Chevelle and 57 Chevy are very accurate and probably the easiest kits I've ever built.
  4. My heart about stopped on that Willy's for $2,100. I was ready to buy it, but 6 days left $2,550 bid reserve not met.
  5. The problem was the re-coat time, if you don't re-coat it within an hour you have to wait till it fully cures.
  6. Most of them I've seen had a white headliner. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-Ford-Other-/252167051794?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3ab653da12%3Ag%3ATAgAAOSwMTZWQ~W7&item=252167051794&nma=true&si=3AQRCAanRAwwGoNDb2o638h3hEI%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  7. I'll definitely be following your build, I built one of these in 1990 when it was first released, I've been thinking of picking up another one to build.
  8. When they were new the original panels were machined and the high spots were polished, after a a few years the aluminum dulled and turned white. Here's a pic of an original Bel Air panel,
  9. Corvettes and trucks were usually shipped separately.
  10. Here's a few pics of tri fives on car haulers I've saved. The pic of the 57's is a little small but it's the only pic I've ever found of the 57's on a car hauler. Form all the pics I've seen they were usually pretty random.
  11. Paint looks great, I love the larkspur blue. What paint are you using?
  12. There was a post on here last night with someone asking to Identify a model of a dirt track car with 50 ford cab on it. I thought it was in this section, was it deleted? I've looked through the forum and can't find it.
  13. I've got about 100 slicks, a lot of them are a little different. Should they have the Goodyear lettering?
  14. It won't affect the glue at all, it will dissolve putty though.
  15. Huh, I haven't seen the green one. There's a purple one and a green one, it looks like they both have different wheels on them. The purple one has the dull chrome, the green one has bright chrome that doesn't look like the rest of the chrome in the kit.
