Welcome to the site. No oppression here.

There was a movie called "Out of Sight" with Karen Jensen and Robert Pine. A Barris car called the ZZR was in it. There was a model kit of this too. Wish I could get a copy of the movie and the model. This would be a good one for The Model King to find. The movie was a surfer/spy spoof

You know, Ayatollah, I see Jimmy at our model meetings once in awhile, I'll ask him if his resin is strange in anyway that would cause it to do that.

I don't think the mold release caused that. It's usually pretty inert stuff. At work, we use Stoner brand and it's nothing more than veggie based oil, similar to PAM.

Definitely a great movie. I loved it. Even the GF stayed awake thruogh the whole thing. Movies for her tend to be $10 naps. Our car club is going as a group to see it, too. I loved the tractor part...that's all I'm gonna say...it's hilerious, trust me.

Yes it does. A very nice engine indeed, but is partially hidden by the body work because the Renault is a mid-engined car

That's cool. I just got mine as well, a Lindberg 77 Chrysler Cordoba. I tried for the Granada and T-bird, but I didn't get those. RATS

Really nice, I see you have a second body sitting there.

Really really nice

????

Nice car you built, but you gotta have a Jungle Pam to stand next to it. LOL

The model has 3 ports on the fender, so I am thinking it is the Invicta as there is no script, only a rectangle which I will remove. I wish I could somehow create the mirror image speedometer that those cars had. LOL. I do notice on all the 60 Buicks, the rear passenger side bumper always sagged a little. I noticewd this when I was a kid and I see it to this day on them at car shows.

I think Buick only had the one body style in 1960, of which the models were Le Sabre, Invicta, and Electra. I am thinking the model that AMT did was an Electra or Invicta. I am doing it as a Le Sabre. The name plate on the front fender is too small for me to read under all the red paint. Thanx for the tips about the chassis. The Buick was not an X frame, it was a perimeter type.

I was at the swap meet in Waukesha Sunday, and picked up a couple of long wanted goodies. I was able to get a 1960 Buick glue bomb in pretty good shape except the hood is glued shut but the engine is there. painted red, it will be taking the plunge in the purple pond. Eventually , it will be silver to match the 60 my gramps had when I was growing up. Many trips to the cabin on the weekends in that car. He had it for nine years until he bought a 69 Skylark. Ahhh, memories. The other car I got is a 68 T-bird flat bottom promo. The chassis pan is black plastic with an AMT logo on it, and the car is molded in a light green color. Question: what full detail frames would fit the Buick and the T-bird?

Bill, that is the Red Flag, and it certainly does have some interesting plastic. I had to use super glue on most of it BTW, I used the front and rear suspension from a Lindberg 1/20th scale S10 truck. Looks better than what Trumpeter provided and fits.

That is cool. Nice to see you helping the lil ones enjoy the hobby. I dont have children myself, but I like helping at Make 'n' Takes.

Aw geez, I tried to resize photos and got some real goofy results ...oh well

Nice site, registered, but when I try to post something, it doesnt let me.

And I know that that was for the red colored head covers on the engine. The blue kind of intrigues me.

I , too wish the kits would come back, but that aint likely to happen as the molds were either stolen or destroyed or thrown away. Mr. Oakey has a few molds but not the entire catalogue. I think he may even have the Mercedes molds but those are missing tire molds.

That Cobra looks sharp. I built one back in the late seventies/early eighties. I really loved that model but lost it and the rest of my collection in a house fire (sniff)

Oh, BTW, how do you bet a piece of art work on site.?

The heck with Foose, show it to Daimler Chrysler. That would be a perfect companion to the Challenger.

Thanx biscuit, good to see you here. Hope to see you here more.

Simply awsome, the alternator could be a model in itself. The nitrous bottle is off the scale.
