Working on the entire series & have these done so far:(Sorry for the not great pics) Bridgestone 1 ton truck Removed the lip from the back side of the tread Bridgestone Mud Dueler Mud Dueler tread Thanks for looking!

The original body does not have the fender wells molded in. Is it prefered to have them molded in? Any suggestions are welcome.

I've got the resin parts ready to go; just waiting to get the photoetch. I might start casting up the parts & if anybody wants to order now I can send the photoetch later. The chassis/suspension/drivetrain from the 67 AMT kit(the one with the blue Impala on the box) will be needed to complete it. I have the original 68 chassis but everything is molded in so the 67 unit offers much better detail. I'll post updates here as things progress. Thanks for asking Jeff!

AWRIGHT George!! Who says you can't teach an old dawg new tricks

Thanks for the info Casey. I never bought any of the big scale funny cars so I don't know what came in where. When I post the pics I'll remember to put Revell instead of Aurora.

The slicks I have are Goodyear & Firestone 500 slicks. They are a thin, floppy rubber. One of my club members gave them to me & I thought he said they were Aurora but I really don't remember 100%. He didn't give me any of the front tires but if somebody sent one I'm sure I could make them..... Hint, hint.....

Thanks for posting the pics Jeff & the kind words. The same to you Mike. The Fotki thumbs aren't that great but if you click on them the big pic is better. I'm not the greatest photographer either. I'm also working on some 4x4 conversion kits for a number of vehicles & the original hollow slicks from the 1/16 Aurora funnycars. I'll post some pics when done.

Are you sure 'bout that Goerge?? I couda sworn you wuz I-tal-yen!!

WOW...the Big Kahuna...... Thanks for the plug Gregg! I promise I'll get a website soon!! I'm not a computer expert but I try. An early Mele Kalikimaka & keep checking the mailbox!

I agree Andy. It would have been a really cool get together. I sent mine in right away, too. I think all the negative response played a big part in killing it. But we still have GSL to shoot for. See you there!

Thanks George. I've been casting a lot of rubber lately & doing some of that "let's try it & see if I can do it stuff". Yesterday I managed to cast the Firestone hollow tires from the old MPC 1/20th STP turbine kit. Original is on the left. Also started on this kit: Anyone crazy 'bout a Mercury?? Thanks cuz!

Hi Mike: Check out this site: Visit My Website I'm sure I can help you out.

Welcome back to the fold Corey! Looking forward to your pics. What part of Joisey are you in?

Those of us who are certifed old farts probably remember hearing at some time that cigarettes were bad, but cigars were OK. This was probably due to all the old timers out there who always seemed to be puffing on a cigar; ie the George Burns crowd. My grandfather was part of that group & he also lived to a ripe old age. I enjoy a good cigar a couple times a year with no ill effects. Like anything else, it requires some self control. What brand would I recommend? Either Onyx, La Aurora or if you can find them Fidalgo Negro. So pour yourself some 30 year single malt & kick back.

Thanks for the kind words George. I'm a little behind schedule, but I've got the 71, 72 & 73 Chargers on deck. I've been working on a 68 Impala kit with parts & photoetch for the Impala, SS, SS427, Bel Air & Biscayne. There will be a coupe & convertable version. And a bunch more off road tires & stuff. And that's in my "spare" time. I need to win the lottery! Have a Happy Turkey day cuz!

Great save Dave! The molding on these kits was very nice & one of my favorites from the good ol' days. Here's a shot of my built ups: I also have them unbuilt. The Stutz & Mercer were also available as slot car kits. There were also color variations as each kit was also molded in a reverse color scheme. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Chris! Here's a few of the latest items: 22" AWJ Custom Wheels Small Bowtie Hubcaps 1000 HP Turboaxle multimedia kit Sample of the 12 reference photos included with kit Check out the rest at: Visit My Website Thanks for looking!

A couple new items for this week: Eldo/Toro FWD set up Latham supercharger w/ Weber carbs Pontiac small hub caps Flame tread tires 208 pcs resin bolt head & nut w/stud set Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the post George. Just got the photos up on Fotki: http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/ This is correct for any Johan or AMT Eldo/Toro. I compared the trees from several kits & they are identical.

Hey Charlz - yeah, the Quickset is finicky when it comes to the correct amount of activator. Sometimes it takes a few months to completely sweat out the excess(been there, done that). The HS-II won't do that if you add too much, but it will end up with air pockets from curing too fast. I'm an Alumilite distributor so if I can ever help feel free to contact me. Good luck with your casting. http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/

Definitely like the sleeper look Nick. Makes it look mean! Both Camaros are awesome...............my favorite body style! Like the color on the Vette, I've had several 1:1 models that color. Thanks for posting.

Another great job Bill!! I remember this one from the good ol' days & it was one of the most difficult kits at the time (and it still ranks right up there). I know I messed it up. I'll be at Gilbertsville next Sun so I'll talk to you there.

Hey George: I've been working on this method to make the masters for the kits I'm bringing out. Don't have it perfected yet, but when I do.....

Lookin' forward to seeing that Ed. It was always one of my favorites & detail replica would be cool. Keep us posted!
