  1. Another local Kijji Score, $20 for the 3, the '78 has a price tag of $26.99 on it. Nick
  2. Last update before under glass post. Still a few things to do and touch up. Nick
  3. I've hit the local Parts suppliers I deal with got the majority of what I need, prices were about par still even with the discount I get, still need a few things that I'll have to turn to Rock Auto for. Nick
  4. Just a Heads up, the Revell Merc and AMT Merc body's are interchangeable Nick
  5. Got a Revell '50 Olds. That and I got my car up on the new stands. Nick
  6. Sold my old 2 Ton stands and Bought these new 3 Ton stands, After it was all Said and done the upgrade cost me $1. Now for them to end up under my car. Nick Edit: also Went and met with a guy who would like to Commission me to Build around 40 Nascar kits for him.
  7. Thanks Jim, I like mine Shiny too. I appreciate the kind words, hoping to get the main body shell finished up tonight. Nick
  8. Jordan I appreciate the input. Bill My problem with local stuff is that they only had 1 of this or they would have to order it in, or they didn't have it, so I'd like to buy everything all at once, and have everything so that I know what I need to save as I remove parts. As For price, they are about par. Nick
  9. Just wondering if anyone has experience dealing with them before I order a bunch of things I need for the Fury. Nick
  10. That Looks great, gotta love Urethane Clear. Nick
  11. Thanks Everyone. David, Ended up liking the smoother bumper better. Thanks Rob, I'm literally building it as I would if I had the 1:1 Thanks Steve, I Really don't consider this truck a Rat, but I still try to detail my stuff to the way I would in 1:1.
  12. Still Going at it. While waiting for the interior to dry I've started assembling some parts, one the interior is done I can put it together and get the cab on, waiting for the rad to dry also then it can go in and get plumbed. And then it's nearly done. Engine is permanently attached as well is the bed and the Front bumper now, need to add the pulleys to the engine and the Alternator and power steering pump, then it's done, need to figure out exhuast as well. Made my own springs. Looking more like a truck. More to come. nick
  13. Really suits that body style, I was thinking a Dark Cherry red for one of mine, the other with probably be weathered. Nick
  14. I like the color Mark.
  15. AMT '56 Thunderbird "American Graphatti" for $8. Nick Pictures later.
  16. Yes the Door Art I printed. Had get that nose down, has always bothered me about this kit, that and it needed to have a modern drive train and suspension system. Update: Nearing Completion, Moved my car and it Rained today, kept me inside this afternoon. Good time to screw around with Tiny cars. Final Mock up. Yeah it looks about right. Engine: decided with keeping with the fairly modern drivetrain (as I would do one of these trucks) I went with a 355 CI GM Performance Parts Crate motor with a few alterations (loosely based on a friends 383 Stroker, now bored to 391, badass motor). Plug wires are a bit think but then again, his motor has 8mm hi-po Plug Wires and Ignition, even my Fury's Accel Ignition plug wires are 8MM. Enough rambling. With Trailer that needs a bit more work. Still need to finish the interior, do some exhaust (don't wanna wake the neighbors like when we fired up the 391 with open headers) and some underhood detailing. Nick
  17. Was Friggin' Cold today so, Instead of playing with the big one, I played with the tiny one. Paints Done. Nick

  20. Very Nice Jim, if you don't mind me asking what are the Mag Wheels from. Nick
  21. One of 2 Canadian '71 Hemi Convertible Cars Some where I have a photo of this car before it was restored, I'll see if I can dig it up. Nick
  22. Unlikely, but I'd have to have atleast 3. ('69 Fury III Convertible) Nick Edit: Only have the white car now and have a set of proper '69/'70 Dog dishes, the below photo is of the white car wearing a '66 Polara Dog dish.
  23. I've been having similar things.No time this last few months, Still want to get my '32 5 Window finished among the rest on my list. Nick Soon it will be too cold to put full days in on my 1:1 Model Project (at least that's the way I look at it) and I'll be back at the bench.
  24. Bank it, wait for something you want to appear in-front of you, you'll have the cash to buy it then. My advice, maybe $0.015 worth. Nick
