    Just double check the plumbing if you have one of these. You will see the carburetor is atop the airbox, not receiving the denser air.

    Does not the AMT double dragster with the Fiat body and period rail have a Potvin blower option? Does not the AMT parts pack have a 283 with Potvin Option?

    For street vehicles, I aim for 32 or 34 awg insulated wire. 30 awg for racing. That said, I have a stash of older Detail Master and MCG wire that I bought years back when it was just easy to pick up at the local LHS. Radio Shack, when it was around, sold wrapping wire that was a good option. I have also found that headsets for cordless phones, which fail, have thin wire that can be used for many options.

    Yes I will. Won't start them until after we've moved and settled in. I was thinking, longer term, of displaying these and others (F12 Novitec N-Largo, La Ferrari, etc,) in a diorama relecting something the Irongate Motor Condos

    These have arrived in the past 9 days. Just catching up.

    The SS 454 engine looks undersized to me. It is as if the modified they used the small block with new heads. Since it is packed away, I can't dig it out to check with other BBC's. An 84 would, IIRC, use a TH 400. There are a lot of BBC engines in kits. The big consideration is finding the one with the closest intake setup and accessory belts to match your 84

    When you say Pro-Touring parts, you referenced a chassis. But, what type of parts do you seek? Suspension components? Brakes? Wheels/tires (which are the most referenced above)? engine/engine mods? Interior parts such as seats, dash mods, etc. (again a bit referenced above)? Body kits?

    I am seeing these on recent photos of the real car, but not in the spot on the model

    Bob Paeth had a HUGE collection before he passed away. Since he had worked for Revell, he had the ability to get all those goodies and hang on to them. I wonder what happened with that?

    Tuner Model Manufactory T2M makes a more realistic working set but are hard to acquire and need even more work to apply
  15. Exotics_Builder
    The set I used on my Hemi Dart are fairly realistic looking. But avoid inserting and removing the pins too many times as they are fragile.

    Revell has one person who supports all the CS and they don't have a stash of parts in inventory to satisfy, either. When we visited their Elk Grove site a few years back for IHOBBY interview, they showed us an area where kits are stored and they basically open the kit to pick the parts. I have never had a problem with getting a missing or damaged part. Sometimes the turnaround is less than a week and sometimes much longer.

    Suppose he means independent?

    Ad the 64 looks to be a Sport Coupe and the 65 a post sedan. The roof lines are different.
  23. Exotics_Builder
    Got those in my stash as I was lucky enough to get when issued. Have a lot of what I want already. What I would like to get is the AMT Open Road Mini Motor Home.
  24. Exotics_Builder
    Absolutely. Just need to be careful not to bend it accidentally.

    Are you painting the PE? If just attaching to a model, and keeping it metal, no primer is needed but I always clean with rubbing alcohol or lacquer thinner. What Bill said is correct, but you would only do self-etching on metal. I use it on stripped diecasts before repainting.
