  1. Does anyone know where I can get this wheel 3D printed or resin cast?
  2. You can see the relationship between the two kits. I think tooling was shared and or modified between the two. The later at least has a chassis that is a bit more detailed.
  3. Picked up a 69 Buick Skylark from Too Many Projects. Also got the same car's interior from a different supplier. Hope the two will mate.
  4. Just got Too Many Projects' 1969 Buick Skylark body. Very nice body. I'll be making a model of a car my grandfather owned. This in my opinion was the best styled car of the Skylark series before they got a bit bloated in 1970. Depending on when or where you bought a Skylark made an impact on what trim bits you got. The body itself came out in 68. They came in Special, Special Deluxe, Skylark, Skylark Custom and of course the GS. For the 69, I've seen these with horizontal ventiports low on the fender (early cars), vertical ventiports (most common) or none. I've noticed three different style grilles, one with just thin horizontal ribs with Buick tri-shield on the driver side, horizontal ribs with horizontal center bar and a horizontal center bar with a verticle plaque in the center with the Buick tri-shield. These were found on all Skylark Customs. GS grilles were a different grille altogether.I owned a Special Deluxe with what I would have considered a top line Skylark Custom grille with center bar and center plaque. Can't say for sure that it was original to the car. Are there any Buick experts here that could explain the differences. Don't get me started on 68s having ventiports high on the fender along the crease or low on the fender.
  5. None that I found but I did find a Canadian source that has plenty. Wheels & Wings Hobbies (416) 752-0071. They are in Toronto
  6. All well and good but if you can't get the product, what good is it? I have contacted a lot of suppliers, hobby jobbers and shops. No one has it and they don't know when more will come. I also found that the places that do have it won't ship to the US.
  7. Look closely at that picture on the box. Note how grille is horizontally straight? The kit inside has that wrong and you will notice the edge of the grille and hood is curved where they meet. Doesn't take much to correct, but it will make you notice the error if you are familiar with the vehicle at all.
  8. Find a smaller gauge wire. The original choice seemed too thick. Might help your clearance issues as well.. 30awg or 32awg might work better.
  9. Your car looks nice. I would like the extra chassis if you would let me have it. Contact me at lordairgtar@aol.com
  10. Wasn't this guy. I got scammed by a criminal. Just trying to locate the person. Appears he was new to forum and has disappeared. However, rmrmodels seemes to have everything out of stock
  11. I just got scammed by this person too...stoopid me
  12. Hi, someone on these posts about my LeMans recommended someone to seek parts from. Does anyone remember who that is?
  13. Your Tempest LeMans is pretty cool looking. Haven't decided whether I will create a four banger for the model. If I do that, I would want to scratch an entire chassis and replicate the transaxle as will. just have to see how much work I wish to take on.
  14. This truck is from the movie they made many years after the show stopped airing.
  15. now to get Revell to deliver this stuff to the US hobby shops. Can't find it anywhere. And I'm not paying some schmoe a hunnert bux for the shipping.
  16. That sucks. Stay safe. It was hazy here in Wisconsin due to the fires in Canada
  17. Oh I know. A scan would be great. I'll send address on message.
  18. Seeking instruction sheet. Need actual sheet, not online pic. I need to make the windsheild with the template provided.
  19. I am seeking the stock grilles for the 61 Tempest four door. Also need the stock wheel covers and tail lamps. Have trades or money.
  20. Hard to find in the USA. European suppliers won't ship to US for individuals.
