  1. Well,to say that I have only one would be a lie. But, These are my favorites, hope You like.
  2. We do need to go out to Arizona again, great place & people!! Count me in!!
  3. Wow!!!! Beautiful model. Like the version built also. (you often see the Gulf #6 version)
  4. Steve, I built one of these a couple of years ago and I still had that problem. It was a bit frustrating to buy a new kit and finding that Your decals were trash. Anyway what I finished doing was painting the strips on. Here are the links. http://i23.photobuck...T40/model_2.jpg http://i23.photobuck...T40/model_1.jpg
  5. Adding to what You have said, Way up to 68 or 69 model darts the lug nuts on the passengers side screwed turning to the left instead of the regular screw on turning to the right. Wow, If I remember that I must be old, right??
  6. Very clean and awesome color..
  7. Hey, it too late for a april fools joke!!!! All jokes aside, now if You can make the 15x3 inchers for the front and sell them as a set it would be AWESOME!!!!!
  8. Wow, this is really kool looking!! Like the contrast in colors.
  9. Wow, this came out really good!!! I hear You when You say that it's under pressure. I am dealing with that myself right now.
  10. Red one looks like a 70's ford Courier or maybe a 70's mazda.
  11. Wow is all I can say...Looks really good!!
  12. Thanks for the pic, brings back a lot of memories.
  13. Model looks like its right in the 50's showroom in those pics. Beautiful model.
  14. Came out really nice, love the color.
  15. This is at the stage where I stopped working on mine. But seeing yours come along and You pointing out the same problems I was having, made me open the box again and decide to finish it, Thanks Scale-Master!!
  16. Duplicolor does have the ford grabber blue and the dodge sublime green. They come in there automotive line of spray cans. (big cans)
  17. Buy yourself a gallon of degreaser from Costco or Sam's, the type that comes in a black gallon. ($3.00) Drop the model in it a couple of days and it will start to break apart by itself. Use gloves, this stuff is strong. You can see the degreaser can be used to strip paint also.
  18. If You have a Costco or Sam's warehouse near, try getting the degreaser that comes in a black plastic gallon. This stuff will tear your skin up, so use gloves with it.. It only cost something like 3 bucks.
  19. These are my 2. Both are great to build. the 69 being the one with fewer parts, but they look awesome once built.
