Been there, done that...I feel for ya, my friend.

Cobraman--are you using enamel, and if so, how long do you have to wait for clear to dry?

Try www.cars-on-line.com. Lots of cars for sale, with photos.

Well, if they did, that's what they'd look like...

Can anyone tell me if the Revell Dart and Charger models that have both 440s and hemis offer two complete engines? Do each engine have a transmission, or do they share one? And are they standard or automatic transmissions?

That color suits the car--what is it?

From a radio, huh? Really nice work!

Isn't it amazing that stuff like that still turns up?

Bring it on...can't wait to see it! Cool display piece, too.

I can't remember what the color was called. I bought it at either a Michael"s or a variety store in Colorado when I lived there...I got two good paint jobs out of it and pitched the empty can. I'll look at my local Michael's, but I think it was a clearance item at the time. Rob, I see what you mean, but your Charger still turned out nice!

Good idea, slusher, but as I remember it wasn't a model paint. I think it was an enamel craft paint I bought in a Michael's in Colorado, on clearance. I can't even remember the brand, but it was a really striking bright, dark blue metallic. The painted model was a dead ringer for the box art on the Revell '69 Nova SS. Oh well...

Pretty tough fly, out and about in February--probably lucky he didn't eat the model!

Screwed pretty much covers it. Since I can't match the paint, it looks like a flat black hood is in the car's future; it's soaking as we speak. If anyone else has a solution, though, keep 'em coming--I'll probably do it again someday

Rather not do that--it's on the hood of a '69 Nova SS. It's painted an enamel that's no longer available, and I just checked to see if I had any left, and I don't, otherwise I'd dip it and repaint it. I'm thinking maybe rubbing compound, but if there's something else somebody knows about, let me know!

I just smeared a glop of Testors liquid cement (in the black applicator) across a painted and gloss coated hood. As you can imagine, it looks pretty bad. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions about how I can get it off the hood? I'm desperate here, the car looked pretty good... thanks

Pretty sneaky...I like it. What color did you use?

Wow! Nice bodywork!

Art work can get me interested, but more often I've been influenced to buy something by Larry Greenberg's reviews. They're the first thing I turn to in the magazine, and I appreciate the methodical way he presents the subject. I like knowing what's in a kit, and what the kit's potential might be, also. Guy deserves a raise--just sayin'...

OK, can you translate that, please?

Either that, or somebody doesn't know about decimal points

Showroom fresh--it's September 1956 all over! Beautiful; love the underhood detail.

I used to live in Lubbock, and once had occasion to speak with Larry Holley, Buddy's older brother. He said that one of Buddy's goals was to come back to Lubbock and build a state-of-the-art recording studio, and devote more time to developing his music and working with other musicians. I've always wondered what incredible stuff might have come from that, and if Buddy's creative genius might have created another Nashville/LA/New York, music-wise. Larry also said that Buddy would get in trouble every year at Lubbock High, at the annual talent show, by composing and performing songs about the school and teachers

moving always is, and it sounds like you're doing it on a large scale. Good luck...

HOW could I have forgotten that one? Spectacular, every one of 'em.

Snappy car, nice model!
