High octane

Hmmm, and I've got a couple of 1/24th Mopar projects comin' up.

Tim, back in the 90's I gave up cars for 'bout 7-8 years and I followed Unlimited Hydroplanes and drag boat races for those years. I've been to many races and took many photos as well. I also worked with two guys who owned/drove 132 & 265 mph boats.As far as the Hemi-Hydro being compatible with the AMT boat kits, sorry but I'm not buyin' it.

I wouldn't say they are equal to Modelhaus, however they are very nice as I have three of them in my "stash," and one of them I hope to start very soon. If you're worried 'bout the wait time, have you nothing else to build?

You couldn't give me a Revell Hemi-Hydro kit as the hull and trailer scales out to 'bout 1/20th scale. Revell can afford to re-issue that kit probably because they have a ton of them in stock. Check out some of the contest coverage in the model magazines and count how many Hemi-Hydros you see. Also do the same with some of the contest/shows in your area as well.

Re-issue the boat kit by itself? That ain't gonna happen as they wouldn't sell enough kits that way.

I don't see any of these listed on the Round 2 website as yet, and I'm wondering if the '70 Bonneville will have the boat kit also.

A VERY Happy Birthday to you young man, and many more!

I have a nice chopped Model A Coupe body in resin, so I really don't care if Revell comes out with another Model A kit or not.

Ouch! And sorry to hear that as I would be irked too if that happened to my car.

I was hoping that the Nickey Camaro would be the Dickie Harrell race car as I used to live two miles from Nickey Chevrolet back-in-the-day. And I was also hoping that the 2017 Ford GT would be in 1/25th scale also. Oh well. I have plenty to build already.

Good luck with your new air-brush and compressor. There's a lot of guys on this board that use them and I'm sure they'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. I'm not one of them though, as I'm a "rattle can man."

Thanks for the reminder Geno as I need to make one of those Coronet conversions also.

Sorry to hear/see that Mike as I know several people who use dehydrators but I'm not one of them.

Guess MY "Boss Hogg's" gonna be a '68.

Growing up in Chicago was great back in the 50's & 60's, but I'm glad that I don't live there anymore.

Have you checked with Keith Marks, or no?

Well what year Caddy did Boss Hogg have if it wasn't a '68?

Maybe I'll be able to visit the N.H.R.A. Museum next year as I'll be out that way. We'll see?

A lot of times I'm able to open those stubborn lids on the jars by placing a rubber band on the lid and then gripping it to open the jars. It works most of the time for me. And yes when open I usually clean the top or lip of the jar with some brush cleaner/thinner and wipe it off.

I mentioned it to you on the "other" forum that you can get some nice ones from Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland.

Glad to hear that you got your car running and good luck with the rest of your project.

Thanks to all the men & women who have served our country, and to those who made the "ultimate sacrifice."

I have one of those kits in my "stash" and for 34 bucks you got a steal. Yes, they're hard to come by.

Thanks to all men & women who have served out country, and for those who made the "ultimate sacrifice."

I'm going back to Portillo's today to pick up something for our dinner tonight.
