  1. Jim- I'm having problems with the side scoops. I was hoping to find an existing kit with a similar scoop that I could just "cut and paste" into place. Unfortunately I haven't found one and my version isn't working out. I made the holes too big (I think) and may have to do some filling to get them to the right size. Right now I am only working on the driver's side until I figure it out. No sense in making twice the mistakes. I think that a "cut and paste" scoop is going to have to come from an exotic car like a Ferrari or the like. Got any ideas???? Later-
  2. Well, It's been a long time since I've updated this. I got sidetracked building a 50 Ford for my cousin. Now the Beetle is back on the table and work has started again. I've managed to get all four wheels on and the ride height is just where I want it. I've gotten a little progress made on the interior. I'm trying to decide whether to do the interior in light ivory and earth or in white and light blue. I'll get that figured out soon. Tonight I am working on finishing up the tubs in the front trunk area. Progress is slow but should pick up soon. Pictures to come when I get a bit more substantial work done. It doesn't look much different that back in August. Later-
  3. Definitely send it to me and start all over. That's my $.02. Just kidding. It looks great. Get back to it. Later-
  4. Trey- It seems a bit early to offer any criticism since there isn't much going on yet. What is there looks just fine. Are you going to add any plug wires? Keep at it and it'll turn out fine. Jut take your time and don't rush things. Later-
  5. Both are excellent builds. I really like the wheels on them both. Nice paint work too. Just perfect. Later-
  6. Nice looking buch. My vote is for the 50 Ford. I'm still plugging along on my 50 Ford Sedan. After I finish off this beer I'm shutting down the 'puter and going to the model room with a fresh one and do some work on the interior. Can't wait to see what's in store for next year. Later-
  7. Thanks for the tip on the Citadel washes. I've thought about buying these paints before but was unsure of how well they would work. They definitely have a wide selection of colors. The work on your Dart is looking fantastic. Makes me want to break into my stash of 68's and 69's. I'll have to pick up some of that ScaleFinishes paint. Jameston is a great guy to deal with. He and I did some trading a while back before I got my airbrush. Now I'm ready for him. Later-
  8. Marc- I'll be watching this build. I LOVE the 68 GTO, and in the Verdoro Green?? Even better! Later-
  9. Thanks for all of the info guys. Jairus- That website is cool. The ones they show on the first page HK06 is what I'm looking for in resin. Does anyone know a resin caster who makes them? Any resin caster want to try???? I'd buy a couple of sets. Any help locating a resin version?? Later-

    62 Belair 409

    I like it a lot. The interior looks good in those colors. The wheels look great on that car. Only criticisms I would say would be BMF, blackwash the grille and install the headlight lenses. I'm still learning from each build after 30+ years. Keep it up. Later-
  11. Nice looking GT. I have owned three or four of these kits but never built it. I always traded them away. I have one now and I am refusing to get rid of it this time. Yours is looking great. Later-
  12. Those look nice. I've got a bunch that I've been storing up to customize soon. Later-
  13. I've found sites on the web that call them Crossbar hubcaps and Starburst hubcaps (although I also found two completely different styles called Starbursts also). The 57 lancer caps i found didn't look like the ones I'm looking for. The 57 Lancer had four bars but they didn't connect over the top like the Crossbars do. Does anyone know for sure if the F&F resin 57 Lancer caps connect in the center over the top? If so, does anyone have a set to trade? I need these to do a replica of my cousin's 50 Ford. He passed away Sunday and I want to finish this build up ASAP. Later-
  14. Cruz- That Dart is looking killer. I love the work you've done so far on the engine and chassis. That color is fantastic too. Your buddy ought to LOVE it. If not...mail it to me. Later-
  15. Dave- Good to see that you are doing good and working that hand. I like the work that you're dong on this one. I like the wheel choice. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on Physical Therapy. Later-
  16. Photo should work now. Please try again. Later-
  17. Does anyone know what year and make this hubcap is? It may be a custom cap but I'd like to find some in 1/25 that are identical, not close to. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260707517441&viewitem= I need a set that is identical to this for a build of my cousin's car. Any help is appreciated. I haven't been able to locate a year or make on the internet. The closest I could come was a 14 inch custom 4 bar. Anyone make them in resin? Later-
  18. Sam- That looks fantastic. What color and brand of red did you use on the interior? It looks like a color that I want for a build of mine. Later-
  19. Welcome to the site! Those look great. Good job on the weathering too. I like the 38 Pickup and the 40 Ford especially. Keep after it. Later-
  20. Adam- Thanks for the reply. I've got to pick some of that up. Later-
  21. Cody- I like the work that you've done on that one. Yes, there are things that could be touched up or improved, but you could say that about ALL of mine too. That's why we build for fun and not for perfection. I really like the blacked out chrome. And you picked a great kit to start with. Looks good. Later-
  22. Thanks for the help guys. Now I know what he was talking about. Too bad that it is only one entry per. Maybe that way I can get it done. LOL. Later-
  23. A friend was telling me that Revell and a TV show called Gears (?) were planning a televised national model car contest for next May. Has anyone heard about this or know where I can find out any info? I looked on Revell.com but didn't find anything. Anyone got a clue? Later-
  24. Looking good. The 36 has always been one of my favorite designs. What is the # for that Plastistruct sheeting that you are using for the tuck and roll interior? I need to pick some of it up for my 50 Ford. Later-

    1949 Ford

    I like that color of green. It reminds me of a 49 Ford I saw on a muffler ad years ago. What brand and color is it? Later-
