Mine was the Monogram show rod kit of the Un-Real Roller....been hooked ever since. At least they sort of re-issued it so I could have another one to build. Glad there re-issuing more like I had as a kid....was really good times and great kits.

Stunning work as usual Tom.....very cool too I have always liked these Dodges.

I hate to hear about your accident buddy....take care of yourself. Ill have you in my thoughts/prayers for a speedy good recovery.

WOW...!!!! Very nice work..!!! We once owned a few Oldsmobiles and one was a Hurst Olds...very nice..!

That is cool nice work..! I had the Winnebago Brave model as a kid still had it till 2011 when I lost it....would love to find one if I could ever afford it.

Thanks guys. This is a special project some parts are chromed already and others not....ether way I ether have to come up with plated parts in the colors or figure out how to do it myself..? I need everything possible with the gold/brass color plated look on it. Will be a prince coach on steroids the more wild and ornate the better for it.

I have close to 100 I have been wanting to restore/repair that are old 60s-70s ones I need to find stuff for yet and probably around 50 built so far.

😍....Love it...! My brother owns a 62 Elconoline 5 window pickup.

Is there anyway to get the look of ether gold or brass plating on parts,etc....??? I have a special Tom Daniels inspired show rod build of my own design that will need everything possible with the look of gold or brass plating.

Thanks Steve and everyone else....Ill try the model Lacquer clear coat and see what happens.

Hi everyone... Been trying to figure out what paints of any kind are safe for clear coating over bare plastic with decals..? I have some that are molded in the right colors that I need to decal and just use a clear coat on them....what is everyone using for that in spray cans..??? About the only thing we can get here is a Lacquer spray paint...general purpose...model paints...automotive spray touch up paints.

Jim I tired the Revell front and rear bumpers on my 60 wagon that needs them and i agree with you they dont even look right to me on the AMT ones.

Just a tip for you guys that build blown engines.... I like to use old computer drive belts they are like a Gilmer belt have teeth on them...they look very realistic.

Far As I know of only a 2 door HT was made as a kit and a promo version.

Bill.... No problem..were all here to help one another if we can right..? Ive had to ask for help before and recently had a kin member send me what one of mine needed. Willing to help when I can.

Bill.... I just checked mine it dose not have that grille in it has some ugly nose cone with 4 small grille inserts....sorry I would have liked to have been of help to you. I know how hard trying to find parts,etc. is I have a majorly huge list myself to try to find.

Dose the older reissues have the right grille your wanting..?

Andy...... Thank you Ill have to see if i have anything to use and try that. Here where Im at everything is hard to find or too expensive..if you can. Theses days everything is so expensive dose not help us guys on a small fixed income any and I know there is a lot of us. Trick and tips on things help keep us going.

Thanks Andy for the information on it.....mine looks just like the red one in the thread here only not as nice..LOL... This is one of my dads old ones from his collection he had. I plan on doing it close to the red one.

Mike... Mine is the old Daisy Duke style body its the same as mine is anyway....Cant tell if its a Jeep or Willys Jeep much but its 1/25th scale.

Thanks for the information Mike....I wonder if there the same ones I need..?

Very cool Mike thanks for showing me this. I wont be able to compete with the guys on ebay over it.

Thanks Mike...Ill have to see if i can find them and if they still have them.

Yes it would if it was just like the original issue kit.
