  1. Indianapolis cars say "To Serve and Protect Fellow Officers"
  2. Very Nice! Is the resin roof a one off or a normal sale item? I'd like to do a 59 Cat 4 dr sedan.
  3. The only police sars that would interest me are the 74 Dodge Monaco so I could build the Bluesmobile, and a late 70's Nova (I just always thought that they were interesting cars). I would want the unmarked Concours version. Four door Z/28. Might go for a mid 80's Crown Vic to convert into a wagon. Family truckster!
  4. Only if someones give-a-darn is working.
  5. A coat of spray can "self etching" primer (in that muddy green color) followed by regular primer seems to work best for me.
  6. Because the world sees models as toys not to be taken too serously.
  7. Thats what I was thinking.It aught to improve Dodge Challenger sales.
  8. The old AMT 63 Corvette was updated each year to the next model. When the split window madness started back in the 70's AMT backdated it (sort of ) to a 63. It still had a 67 roof (althoe with the split window) and center back up light of the 67 for a few issues before it was finaly corrected. I don't know where the Prestage kit fits into that. I'm building a 63 Corvette coupe at the moment, I'm using a Revell snap kit 63 with a Revell 67 chassis and a small block yet to be determined.
  9. I hope to, depends on if the weather is nice enough to ride my Harley. I wont trust my car (Hyundai Elantra) to go that far from home. It likes to make me walk.
  10. Still, I've seen your stuff at the Indy show and it's good quality.
  11. OOPS ! I guess I'm sorta confused with the Detroit Resin group thing!
  12. The best 70 Chevelle body is the 1/25 Revell snap kit. Add a full detail chassis from the Revell 72 Cutlass and a big block from the Revell 69 Camaro and you'll have a nice model.
  13. Another happy camper here, I have the 65 Mustang fastback and the 70 Mach one, both are great. I wish I'd bought a 65 GTO when they were out.
  14. My old 55 Chevy had tinted glass all around, but it was more green than blue. Love the wagon.
  15. I'm no good t posting pics, but google "Pintara"' a kit to make your Pinto into a Pantara, and yes, it was kitted in 1/25.
  16. Admerial Byrd found the hole in the Ozone, back in the mid thirtys.
  17. A friend of mine used to live in Kall-i-forina, and solved the problem by driving pre 1967 cars.
  18. Thats not a V6, early Olds Rocket V8's had the center exhaust ports ran together, that center pipe is two cylinders, like a flathead Ford or early Cadillac V8. That engine can be found in the new Revell 50 Olds kit.
  19. The restoration to stock of the Gremlin kit was a major rework but still not a new kit.
  20. Only the stock kit with the blue car on the box has the six. If I remember right the CMG kit had stock seats and the Hemi cars had only the lightweight buckets .
  21. We always refered to the Tempest set up as a "speedometer cable drive" or "rope drive".
  22. Was it in fact a copy of your work? I bought a resin 72 Demon kit years ago from R&R, and I would have thought what I have is a copy of a kit part. I also find it interesting that car manufacturers can stop a little resin caster from making model parts, but can't stop aftermarket companys from making body parts for 1:1 cars.
