  1. This is going to be cool. The dual sun roof panels brings back a memory of riding with my brother in a borrowed square body and one of those took flight at 50 mph. Some how it didn't break and no one drove over it. Our lucky day.
  2. I did forget to say this is coming along nicely. Looks like it will stand the test of time.
  3. That would not have worked for me. We had to spray the car in the bed room up stairs with the whole house fan on. When asked if I was spraying paint up stair denie denie denie. Lol
  4. Lindberg was still making kits in the USA here in Michigan. Being that they ended up with these kits in g%ğj catalog says a little hint has been given.
  5. The scale depends on who made the c whatever Corvette wheel you are looking for. I am not a vette person so the c says nothing to me. You could try the printed wheels if the wheel you are looking for is not in 1/25 scale.
  6. I would look at the other parts in the assembly's that go together. Some may not go together like you would think but with the guide and your tastes it will work out.
  7. It looks like the highlighted areas are painted to match the color that is highlighted by it.
  8. The trucks from the grandchildren of the gasser fans In the 60s and 70s.
  9. Nice work selling kits and not replacing them the same day Rick.
  10. Welcome aboard Tom. Looks like with your skills and ideas, you will be teaching a few of us.
  11. If you can't print there is the guy on ebay from the Ukraine that does a good jeep from that era. 2 or a 4 door. Yes you will need the Revell jeep to finish.
  12. I like this intro.
  13. Looks good. Another nice model from your bench.
  14. I was not expecting that much chop. Looks fine, I like how ypu did the tail gate.
  15. I also forgot to ask if they are going to do any 67 era Bardacuda grills.
  16. Don't feel bad Scott. I was at the show and forgot to buy the plymouth grill from A few sprues loose. I was to excited about getting the Duster grill. Lol
  17. That paint color sure looks fine as wine. The chassis color is brilliant.
  18. This looks the part. Great job on the build. If the paint is chipped by the wheel lips you could always use a silver to look like the paint was rubbed off on the test run. Just as long as it does not cause a problem.
  19. Not a bad point of how dated the caption hook kit is. But it does give us the hydrolic wheel lift that many companies around Toledo used until they picked up the rollback trucks. It just takes more work to look good.
  20. Flip a coin and guess heads or tails. You get the same luck with buying or selling wifh humans. You might have a string of good luck for awhile. Not sure why people list stuff and dont respond. Dont go to the bad parts of town and ignore old ads.
  21. I had a couple of older built ups sitting on top of a display case for models and the tires started to stick to the top of the clear plastic. I feel it is better to ne safe than sorry.
  22. I would think it would be a preorder to run that mold. Say you have to buy 3 when your order. Do the molding companies even have a machine with a big enough platten to bolt it up anymore?
  23. Do yourself a favor and get glass cut. That way you will not have to worry about tire melt into the shelves. Yes it is possible when ypu get random clear sheet goods.
  24. You could do this as your grandfathers truck from when he was a car guy. Just clean it up and polish the paint after you get it back on its wheels. Would this have been the tow vehicle for the 34 you also have already posted? Move forward with Jeffs version with all newer kit parts like ypu restored Grandpas truck to your tastes without harming his build. I dont believe anything with this truck hasn't been reissued in the last 20 years. The bed is dark in the photo so I can't tell (on my phone) if that is a truck bed or from a rancharo. If you cant find any green that color look into nail polish colors. Sallys has a large selection.
