Welcome anytime. I was looking for AIT. They sold the business to someone else. I think this is the 3rd time it's been sold. Dave that ran that site passed last month too. I also dug up two more sites you might want to check out. Welcome to moluminum - Sample Slogan (3dcartstores.com) Engines (3dcartstores.com) A&N Model Trucks – Model trucks, model vans, model pickup trucks. Scale 1/24. (an-modeltrucks.com)

Almost everything you need can be found at Sourkrauts. If it shows he does not have it, e mail him anyways. He may have it or it may be on order. Some of it on this page I linked you to. Trailer Accessories — Model Trucks — Sour Krauts Model Trucks

Great looking ride. Thanks for the antenna pics and info.

How's the antenna installed? Looks a tad long due to the big loop, but that might just be the image. I had an idea for making one for my car. They make those straight pins with different sized plastic heads on them. I thought if I could find the right size, I'd drop a small spring down the pin shaft and glue that in place. Then cut the pin off and put my wire into the spring. Then glue that big ball to the bodywork and loop my wire down like you have yours.

I have not bought any kits from the parts box, but I have bought parts from them. $20 dollar minimum order for me in the US buying from them. They have great parts, so, I'm betting their kits are good too.

The Parts Box has some resin kits. They have a Falcon, Bedford Van, Morris Van, New Yorker and some others too. And lots of cool parts. TPB Resin Kits and Bodies – The Parts Box

Got mine Saturday. He said there is a problem with the web site. Thanks.

No, thanks for the suggestion, that hood is the closest so far that came to fitting, but it's off a bit. Which is sad, cause it looks nice otherwise. And thanks, I need all the luck I can get. lol

Yes, that's one of the hoods that I have. Matter of fact that's the one I tried added flat plastic to the sides and front and sanding it down. I guess the edge is just not wide enough for the glue to get a good bite on it. Once it dries, and I start sanding it down to match, it just breaks in different places and comes off. I was wondering if I could take some kind of epoxy and run a bead down the side, let it dry, and just sand down the epoxy. Can't turn out any worse than what I have going on right now.

I'm pretty sure this is the Chevelle kit I have in 1/25. I need a flat hood for it so I can put a hood scoop on it. Do you have one or know where I can buy one that will fit. I bought two already and they are not even close. One I tried to add plastic to the side and front to get it to work, but every time I start sanding on it, it breaks up in places. I can't seem to be able to build it up.

I got a white one too.

Absolutely. It never looks right if they are just thrown on there.

I got a spare set. I can dig them out later tonight after I get home from work. Send you a pic tomorrow if you need to see them.

WOW, that window looks ten times better now. Surprised they shipped that body as screwed up as it is.

Welcome, anytime. Just thought you put so much effort into making springs and such that you might want to know about that. As for the long ladders, they are period correct for some builds, just depends on the era you are building it for. I know they have modern day gasser classes in some areas, and I know they made changes to those for safety, even though they want to build them as much by the old rules as possible too.

Yes, any car, not just a gasser, that has ladder bars and leaf springs without floaters would be incorrect.

Looks great. Ladder bars a little bit long and you need a set of floaters when using them with leaf springs. I need to look that up, I'm not sure when they went to 33in. ladder bars. Anything longer than that usually guarantees a wheel stand.

He's right. It's a magneto. I have one just like it.

Glad to hear it. The address, phone number were missing from the site and it won't allow emails to be sent from it. I thought they might have closed up.

Sounds good. Not sure if you want to go to the trouble, but it has a switch panel that goes across the roof and has a radio up there too. If you want resin 3 Inches Under on Ebay has o2 bottles, scuba gear, duffle bags and all kinds of stuff that they would carry in the back of that 4x4. Of course, if you 3d print you might want to go that way, but I thought I'd toss in the link in case you wanted to look it over. Can't wait to see it finished. Three Inches Under | eBay Stores

Can't wait to see 240-R-2. Don't forget the sunroof. I have one of these in progress, but it got stored last time I moved, and I have not found it yet. I loved the episode where Morgan is chasing a Sioux 47 and the Sioux flies into a hanger and finds out his exit is blocked by patrol cars and now his other exit is blocked by Morgans Hughes 500-C. and they start doing the dual inside the hanger till they are forced to land in it. Gotta give it to those stunt flyers in that episode.

I got ya. Sorry for my misunderstanding there. Can't wait to see it finished. I always loved these Demons.

My Mom had a Dodge Demon, Plumb Crazy Purple, with back interior, and it has the squared off speedometer in it. There were no Demons produced in 73.

Plain old Elmers's glue brushed on and then the powder on top works pretty good.

More than welcome.
