  1. Sylvania Electric logo, the 'Paint by Mike Shields'. Jerry Titus/Jon Ward Trans Am Car MCM post on it http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/139343-twin-herb-adams-71-scca-trans-am-64-tempest-gray-ghost-projects/page/5/
  2. Won't have my latest project done in time, so will be bringing these along to show
  3. Forgot to add that on my list as well. Oh, and an original Make Shark
  4. Off the top of my, these are what I perceive to be the hardest to find (or pay a reasonable price). Still yet to build any of these.
  5. 67 - Not that I can remember. Only 58.
  6. Marginal interest in the 007 version as I have the Doyusha version (as well as the stock variant). Would love to do a "detailed" stock version to go with some of my other classics.
  7. That contact page is in lieu of an email. It has been noted several times in the messages chain. I have used that contact page and not yet had a problem.
  8. Could not have said it better. And Randy carries products from him and other artists like Harold Bradford at his online store
  9. A bunch of things in the last couple of months have impeded progress on my builds. I started dinking with this about 2 years back and then put it on the shelf. The resin model is a Juha Airio design cast by Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. I pulled it off again late last year. I’ve got the body almost totally cleaned up. Need to do some another round of primer and base white. Chassis work in progress. Adding disc brakes all around and Off the Sprue wheels adapted to some Revell big and little tires. Made a couple of mods to the interior, including some door card mods for eventual wood trim (decals from the parts box). Working on the engine as well. Detailing is about halfway done. The kit is prepped for a Big Block Chevy from the AMT 68 El Camino as well as suspension pieces. I decided to keep it that way. Color will be Testors Lacquer Inca Gold.
  10. As do I. And, I do not want to do 2K clears. Too toxic in my view
  11. I am starting to switch over to that as I use up my remaining Tamiya TS-13
  12. As far as I know, he has no gmail account, all my emails come from gravity-colors.com. This is the correct website https://gravity-colors.com/ And this is his correct contact us page https://gravity-colors.com/contact-us/
  13. Mail delivery arrived with an order of wheels from Dancing Bear and the Hyundai I20 WRC.
  14. Just got my paint orders in today, plus a couple of detail items. Thanks to Burbank House of Hobbies and Upscale Hobbies. The big part is finally getting the Zero Paint Wheel Colors which I have been after for some time.
  15. The S/C kit does have both windshield options, so you will be fine there
  16. I can use them on another project (possibly). I am building another street Cobra as the one I built some years back was damaged by a JUDGE at a model contest when he manhandled it during the judging process. Broke off the hood and one of the doors (that I cut open and hinged) and then dropped it on the table, wrecking the front suspension. I got it out of the moving box here just after Christmas and looked at repairing. Decided a lost cause and need to start over. Nice thing is that the correct street wheels are now produced and I got a set. The kit you got is actually closer to a street Cobra and was what I used back when I first built one. That would be much easier for me to build what I want than take parts from the damaged kit and merge them with an S/C. I will check my open S/C kit to be sure, but it may only have the racing windscreen, not the full windshield. If you want the full windshield for you project, you'll need to take it out of the kit you're trading. I'll let you know.
  17. Yes, I would like them back since the kit has the wheels in it. Thanks.
  18. Remind me. Which wheels are those? Cobra?
  19. Sunday the 16th, given that next Sunday is Easter. Still at Elmers.
  20. trade 1 for 1? I plan on building a street 427 Cobra.
  21. Have you actually built or started that kit? I have an unopened S/C like depicted in the second photo
  22. Sounds like you have the "street" cobra kit with dual quads? That hood would not have a scoop. Also, if you are doing an S/C, the street cobra front and rear bumpers would be incorrect. versus
  23. Something like that. But it didn't get very far
  24. I interviewed Ernie Petit (for MCM) at the IHobby show in Chicago (actually Rosemont) where he discussed planning to resurrect these. At the time, the newly formed IMC (not to be confused with the original IMC) was working out licensing and other details. Not long after, he passed away and this all faded away.
  25. They also did a curbside version. The one I have is full detail.
