The carb is representing a Holley four barrel. The 1:1 LT1's came with a 780 CFM Holley Double Pumper.

After we complete our move, I will try out some of your paint. "Model Shop" is closed at this time as everything is in boxes

Jon, if you are not soon starting, I can trade the SS hood for the cowl hood if you would like. All the stuff is boxed up now and we'll back in Camas some time late July (unless the mover schedule gets hosed). I'll bring it to a SABA meeting

I only have about 3 of my 68 Z28 that have not been lost over the years and none of the engine bay that had the short ram manifold and cold air ducting to the plenum

I've searched the forums for the AMT Camaro fix you mentioned and cannot seem to find it. Can you provide a link/reference?

Neither had I. The last time was around 1999-2000 in the Seattle area. And it was a right hand drive version.

As we are back in Illinois on our final packing trip, I got some time to attend the monthly Supercar Saturday. Although foreign and modern muscle cars dominate, there are some interesting vehicles that show up from time to time. Flickr Car Show Photo ALbum Link...

There were some HD wheels a few years back that had some bad casting. I did get replacements from the vendor when I complained. Recent stuff is VERY good

Ditto on what Bob said!!

Yep!

If you do the window tape, highly recommend putting in a zip-loc baggy to avoid any possible moisture on the window attacking the decals. Doesn't take but a tad of moisture in the wrong spot

If you observe the work done at IPMS or other modeling events in Europe, American "Iron" has a definite place. The recent Jabbeke event had quite a few American oriented models as well as exotics and Japanese market. WIll be interesting to see what happens at the upcoming Dortmund event. A wait and see approach is best, as speculation can escalate into views that incense people. There are many potential business scenarios that can play out and we have no idea the drivers. We know the facts around the sale and that Revell USA is presently shuttered. If one looks at RoG, the American oriented kits were sourced from Revell USA as some of the RoG models were reboxed as Revell USA. The sad part is that 20-30 people at Revell USA put there their hearts and careers into the company and their ESOP went to zero and they are now laid off.

From my viewpoint, wake me up when something interesting pops up. So far, nothing interesting. Of course, with about 700 unbuilt kits....

Times 2.

I have one of these packed for the move. Lots of nice customizing parts, and some odd ones. Here is a link to the instructions online: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1951-1960/amt-57-t-bird-troph/

The Modelhaus 57 is very nice. I got it about 2 years ago and it is sitting in a moving box. Still trying to decide or mild custom

Not recently on the 250 SWB. I had an AMT years ago but sold it off to a person who REALLY, REALLY wanted it even with its problems.

Sold a few of the MFH's because a club member really wanted them and I prioritized. As regards Ferraris, Here's a good portion of the stash, minus a few sold.

It was an Italeri kit that Revell was repackaging. But these two seemed to have done it often. I still have mine unbuilt with a few others

I tend to scribe the panel and door/trunk lines deeply and then paint. If need be, I will flow a little Tamiya Clear Smoke to enhance.
