  1. Shay...I believe its the same as the old Johan issued ones its a curbside if its like the last one re-issued.
  2. I am happy to see this coming back out...just hope they have the last issues tire and wheel problems fixed. Be great to see more of the old kits make a comeback that have not seen the light of day in over 30 years.
  3. Top one is from the movie French lessons?
  4. Bryan....I use brake fluid...when that does not work I use Castrol Super Clean de-greaser straight(use of gloves is a good idea its hard on the hands and never let it dry on anything)...both will remove chrome plating..carefully use a tooth brush to gently scrub the old paint off...I wash after cleaning with warm to hot soapy water let air dry.
  5. Welcome Kevin!
  6. I have one should have gotten two....there very nice! A camper top would be awesome...I have the Chevy Mini Motor Home kit all the camper parts and interior camper parts are missing...love to build it.
  7. I have always worried when spray painting over decals or not...sometimes it all just goes bad on you. Could be worse though....I worked on a conversion of a 2door into a 4door wagon once everything was going good till the second coat of clear...body wrinkled up all the long hours of bodywork gone so i just started over and liked it the second time came out good. There are a lot of very kind people here willing to help out another at the drop of a hat if they can.
  8. Strange but yet cool looking...Id give it a test drive...LOL...
  9. Rich...nice car and find...I have the convertible one built factory stock...as you stated its nice enough as it is.
  10. Welcome.... there are many knowledgeable builders here with many years of experience which is gained with each kit you build...great hobby too.
  11. The kids face is scarier than Herman's....LOL...
  12. Sorry to hear that Tom...you all will be in my prayers.
  13. I am wanting to build a replica of my old mid 70s Dodge custom van I once owned...want the doors to open and close so the interior can be seen but still look right once the doors are closed...
  14. Thanks for the smile....I like it a lot...very cool.
  15. I woke up....had chest pains all night long but have them often anyway.
  16. These are COOL... I have to find some now....LOL...
  17. It would be interesting to see how you hinge the doors...I have been trying to figure out that for some time now and have it look right.
  18. Many of the Fieros had a Lotus rack and pinion steering in them...I change a few many years ago...talk about a pain.
  19. That is right....!
  20. Does this issue have any other factory stock parts besides the wheels?....I need lots of factory stock parts to save/restore one of my dads oldies from his collection.
  21. Id be too happy just to get the trailer kit....been after one for years...figured it would be a fitting way to display some of my dads oldies on in a case.
