Fit problems or not,small wheels or not,yea always wish for perfection,but I am O so glad these companies are still in business to produce model kits for us.

When you can get a magazine that is devoted solely to your style of build and has a common man feel about it,I think 10 bucks is more than a fair price to pay.

There is nothing like holding the real magazine in your hand. Kustom and Hot Rod Models is a very nice addition to the other model car magazines that are out there.I suggest for all to pick up an issue.The 32 on the cover is my build.

Thanks for the comp.

Very sharp,great color. A great looking hot rod.

After he built that, I am surprised he still had hair on his head.

Two long hours of masking and cutting.By the end I sure was thinking there must be a better way.

That is a slick looking ride.Nice job.

I know David Knight. you will find a contact number for him on the M.A.G.S. web site. You can also meet him personally at the show Oct. 10 and 11 at the Tampa Fairgrounds. He is a great guy!!

There is a great club in the Tampa area and it is called M.A.G.S. which stands for Modeling Associates of the Gulf State. They are even hosting a show the weekend of Oct. 10 and 11th at the Tampa fairgrounds that coincides with the NSRA Souteast Nationals.Check out this link; http://mags.name/ Hope to sse ya around.

Maybe I missed someone saying this already,but I think a Buick Nailhead engine with over the frame headers would be a great addition to these kits. Split wishbones for the front suspension would be another detail I would like to see.

I'm all for seeing Revell tool up a 32 ford Pickup using the Hemi engine,but with Lake style headers and different style headlight buckets,and a Halibrand rear axle.
