horsepower

just a quick question, what was the original paint you used on the 'Stang?

Just my unsolicited opinion, but I'd glue the trunk lid shut, as there is really no reason to open it as there 'taint nothing to see there.

] The only dislike I really have with the kit so far is the solid metal axle for the rear, but at least Revell did hide it well.

just has that real look

I kinda like that '62 :bubbletop" Pontiac, & could you post a couple of pics of the '56 Chevy sedans? I want a '56 Bel-Air sedan. Thanks for your time, Del

These actual colors are still available from Black Gold, or any of the other retailers that carry the HOK line, they are also available in an approximate match in the Kustom Kolor line of paints that are still available from the hobby shops that still have some of the stock on hand. closest match I've found is to use Gloss aluminum Tamiya for the base, & there is a "Candy Red" in the "metalcast" line from Krylon that is a real good match. I have found that it is better to either decant this red, or switch to a spray nozzle from the Tamiya line as the Krylon is designed to spray a much larger area at a higher pressure than is needed for small items.

Nice '57, almost looks like you could get in & drive it.

This is a really great build you have going, I wish you lots of luck, it isn't a very easy car to replicate. I saw this car race in person in the late eighties in Madera CA. by then it had changed hands, & was being driven by Chet Filip, & I beleive he was the owner at that time.

unfortunately it appears some people can screw up a good thing, real.

Exactly what kind of things? Or is it something you can't talk about on an open forum? In that case, maybe Dr. Flintbone casts it.

I hear it's already been recalled, they kept falling off the shelves.

You forgot Kia's

Methinks that this one is a model, even with the bent bumper guard.

Remember, the "Honorable" Harry has been known to photo shop different backgrounds just to throw us a curve now & then when the original background is a dead give away .

Beeeyouteeefull! if you want a really different candy blue, try using a gunmetal gray for the base, or Tamiya's Metallic red for a base for a really nice candy violet.

Nice job, it's nice to see it in red (are there really any other colors?) as it seem most of these were done in the light Sunflower Yellow.

Nice build you've got going, I like what you did with the little Buick motor, there is a guy here in the northstate that's working on an entirely aluminum street rod with that motor for power, that should be a bit different.

Oh darn, I bet you had your eye on this for the ROM thread too.

you're both wrong, it has five tires, (you forgot the spare didn't ya'?)

having worked for a company that does cross country tows it isn't that bad, in the neighbor hood of $5 a mile, for the tow/delivery, & initial hookup fees.

you could always tell people that the City also had an emergency response vehicle that just by chance was also squad 8, if they didn't even remember the TV series, who could argue the reasoning?

since the poster did answer your question about the tailgate graphics (in another answer) but you didn't get one about the object in the engine compartment, here goes. That is an Oberg, a cleanable screen type oil filter, it is generally used as a preliminary check, if you are experiencing an oiling problems at the track, you can pull the Oberg apart, if the screen contains any metal particles, you have an idea of bigger problems.

Great! I like the GPS/monitor in the console, but you put the wrong magazine in the front seat, it should me a Model Cars mag.

I was in Pegasus Hobbies a few years back & was looking for the Modelhaus "coolers" & Mike (Flynn) told me a real easy & neat trick, use a plastic ink pen (like a Bic) for the main body, & a Detail Master speaker cover for the rear "vent" you just need to taper the front of the body for an inlet, & ad a piece of .125 plastic for the window outlet into the car.
