If John doesn't have them, Ive got them for you.

Very nice heavy Chevy! Are those .22 cal shell casings for the exhaust tips?

Looking for the "Ford Purelube Motor Oil" decal for the door. If you have a spare please let me know. Thank you

Michael - I line the bottom of my paint booth with a large sheet of artist drawing paper, dust free, bright white and all I have to do is tape the outer edges. Once it starts to look like inner city graffiti I replace it.

A Vinyl top that makes me happy I did this from reading about others paint mishaps. I sprayed a lacquer based primer , then immediately used Tamiya rattle can semi gloss over it. The paint reaction was subtle and pleases me for a scale vinyl top.

Alright answers to my question and then some - Stitchup - I notice you have the "I support Ukraine avatar" I don't know where you're located, if you are in the Ukraine that makes sense - otherwise that's a political hot mess right there. And the rest of you are correct, this is a modeling site with over 30 good topics on modeling, if you're not wanting to read anything but models why drift down to the OT thread? Bob - Ive only seen you up top asking when the next issue of MCM is coming out. Welcome all the way down to the OT lounge.

Whats going on here ? Two threads go poof in two days, Charlie Kirk and 911 Remembrance. These were not political or religious talk topics. Its odd that if a so called "entertainer or sports figure" dies those topics are allowed no matter what that persons beliefs or views may have been. Its disgraceful both of these subjects were removed, if someone had commented differently with their post, that should have been the only thing removed.

There was a fix to that - years ago when I was living in Motels related to work. Id take a wrench and unscrew the shower head, inside was a little round piece of brass with a hole in the center. (looked like a mini drum cymbal) Take that restrictor plate out and throw it away. You had a shower head with enough force that Kramer would've been envious of. The more recent ones are molded in the plastic 😕

I can normally dismiss stuff but this is starting to really annoy me "Contingency decals" The last couple Intakes, headers, and other performance parts have downsized their decals to about 1/12 scale. What are you supposed to put those on ?

Impressive as always. Thanks for showing the collection !

Alan - that 40% discount also works if you order online, and the shipping is reasonable. I normally order 9 kits at a time and they come in one box.

Dang, I always liked dealing with him. Started buying from him back in the 1990's from adds in SAE magazine. I felt like I had made it "big time" when he told me a personal check was fine as payment. Sadly our youth and health doesn't last forever.

I have this '69 Firebird with the 400 in it, also has a powerglide with the babymaker front seat (bench), ive got stock bucket seats to trade that out as well as a Hurst floor shift. Sorry for the snow pic, it was easier to grab than go out and take one to upload.

I never had luck with the search on the forum, If I really wanted to find something I would use the search engine on my browser (Duck duck go) and type in "Dick Landy Challenger Model Car Forum" and there would be to options with the link.

If a paid membership will mean no adds count me in , but the forum topics are great as they are, background is great, doesn't make much sense to reorganize.

Cool patch Ulf !

The windshield scoop has been built for the Pro Stock Grump Monza - This started life as a Promo out of a North Carolina swamp. If you've never tried building a model from a promo you're missing out ! The swamp Monza

I love the Bad Apple Vega !

Bill that AHM Sandhouse is very close to the old DRGW Narrow Gauge Sandhouse that was at Durango Colorado. Its a great kit, and "Model Masterpieces" also made a craftsman kit of the same. A lot of nice finds you've been turning up!

Got the "Motown Missile" pretty much mocked up , decided to drag the MPC 69 Daytona back out that will be "Eberhart - Nunn" car and get back yo work on it.

Vacuum forms are cool kits , although Ive never built an auto model - Ive built a lot of WWII Aircraft that way. Sounds like youve had a Great Weekend !

Mock up on the future "Missile" with MPC annual body, MPC glass, Johan Sox & Martin tub, Comp Resin hood, Amt 70 Challenger chassis shortened 2mm Bottom chassis is the MPC Cuda chassis, orange is Johan S&M, top is the shortened AMT Challenger chassis.

Wick I have sourced the amber pill bottles in the past for using as a pattern to make styrene tubs. These are "cheater tubs where they are not seen do to a rear seat panel. I opened up the stock wheel well to frame and covered that area with .015" styrene sheet and the piece inside the frame .030" Thanks for the tip and I will be looking at caps more closely!

Was supposed to be organizing my work area , instead I made "mini tubs" for a future "Missile build"

Well pass that knowledge on to others !
