  1. Didn't like it at first but with the complete car shown it looks good as do the rounded fins..
  2. Looks impressive but let see it work on Duplicolor Lacquer that is years old..Where do you get this stuff and how much..Is it going to be available in Canada? or elsewhere?
  3. Can't seem to buy magazine in Winnipeg Canada..The hobby shop who was going to sell it, the owner died suddenly and the family closed it up..Yesterday I subscribed for 2 years..Hope I'am not disappointed and comes regularly..Looking forward to seeing my first issue..
  4. Tough break on the hood.."Oh Oh better call Maaco...Let it dry and slowly work it out with wet till smooth then try polish..Won't be perfect but you can display car with hood underneath and show the engine or put hood on a stand..People won't notice unless you tell them..If they do, so what..You at least tried..
  5. Get a Duplicolor Perfect Match silver then spray your primer over the silver..Silver seems to block out the bleed through..I sprayed silver on interior of Red 70 Challenger then sprayed white primer for interior and NO bleed through..Give it a try..
  6. Actually never knew Charlie drove for Cotton Owens..I know Pete Hamilton drove #6 Plymouth for Cotton in 1971 but didn't know American Brake Bloc was still sponsor in 1972..Nice builds of both cars..Memories of sure..
  7. With not so much work and an interior/chassis and engine it looks like it could be made stock..W/base doesn't look altered from the stock version..going to be a nice kit..
  8. First thing I look at when someone shows a 70 Challenger or Cuda or 71 GTX/Roadrunner is if the front pan is correct..You molded yours in which is very good..Nice NOT to see the joint left..Very nice...
  9. Sad but true..You will NEVER see a Prius or some other Jelly Bean type of car on the collectors market..Ever..They do rust fast like the others do and most of the electronic gizmos under the hood corrode so you have to spend an arm/leg to replace the part that you cannot do yourself..
  10. That model is definately a work of art..Very well done and exquisit work..EXCELLENT job..Can't describe the workmanship..
  11. Sure miss the Cruise Ins or Roll Ins what ever you call them, since I sold my 64 Fury..
  12. Nice and clean and not overly done..Very subtle..
  13. Super clean and very well done..Looks like its just came out of showroom..
  14. When they get electrics to go 4-500 miles between charges and can fully charge as quick as filling a tank it isn't going to work..Don't care what the tree huggers say..Ain't going to happen..I couldn't even drive from Winnipeg Manitoba to Fargo ND on one charge..NOT for me and the price for some small piece of BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, not going to happen..
  15. Very nice work on the Dodge..When you are done this is going to be killer build..EXCELLENT work..Keep it going....
  16. Never pump out oil either..Let drain..I change oil/filter in my rides every 5000 km whether need it or not.I've got a 2002 Sebring Convertible in prime condition with the dredded 2.7 V-6..Change oil in it every 2500 km..and use semi synthetic( I like regular oil better) but this seems to work okay..So far no sledge build up..Its got 103500 km on the clock..
  17. A few months ago on Kijiji in Lethbridge Alberta there was a 1990 Chrysler LeBaron(same as Spirit and like Dodge) had 52000 original and showed pictures all around..Think it was 6 cyl grammas car..$600.00..If covid wasn't around I would have driven from Manitoba to check it out and taken some cash..Can't send link buy maybe see it its still listed..
  18. As I was looking at my model car sites I noticed that Spotlight Hobbies site has changed..Print is so small you can barely read it and for sale stuff on the side..It its going to stay like that I'am GONE..Have lots of friends there and here too..What gives? Sure hope this site doesn't change..Right now its the BEST one there is..IF THIS IS NOT ALLOWED, PLEASE DELETE.. Thank you....Wayne Farmer..
  19. Any "B" body Mopar(Dodge/Plymouth) from 1968-1970..Especially the 1968-69 year models..
  20. Not at this time, I'am hoping I can get down late 2021 or early 2022..My passport expires Dec 2023 so Canada owes me almost two years..Hope you do well at the show as I imagine you will..take care and stay healthy..
  21. Nicely done..Too bad you didn't paint the bottom of interior though..Doesn't matter unless you show it on a mirror..The part that counts look great and nicely done after a 50 year hiatus..
  22. Quite the interesting story..Have a friend who is on this site that built a mild custom of the Eldorado mentioned..Very nicely done Dennis Ezmerlian...When I tried to click off the site and finally did my computer was frozen for about 10 minutes..Was able to read story though..
  23. I find that a Mecum auction is a better experience than a BJ auction..You can actually get up close and see the cars/trucks..Remember on in Fargo about 15 years ago..Nice stuff and very good prices..
