Thanks for the reply. It looks like it wouldn't be to difficult to master. Take the 70' Rebel machine body and modify that. The 67' could be the easiest. The whole rear area can be modified by using the AMT 68 Roadrunner rear trunk and clip. Maybe modify the 68' Revell Dart taillights to go on the Rebel.

I just did something stupid....
GMP440 replied to Clay's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was at a friends house and he was getting ready to spray carb cleaner on the carb to his 85' Ramcharger when he accidentally grabbed a can of white paint without looking at it and started spraying on the carb turning it white. I once grabbed what I thought was a jug of Prestone to fill the radiator, I didn't look at the labeling on the jug, started filling the radiator with etching acid. About 8 ounces went in before I realized what was in the jug. Emptied out the radiator flushed it and put coolant in. Never had any adverse reactions. -
About two years ago the Cutlass was supposed to be released but it never happened because it was cancelled. Will they ever release it? As I understand the tooling was done Will this ever be produced? Thanks.

Having trouble posting to Craig's List

The thing is; the pics are a larger size than what is on Photobucket. Could be an issue with Photobucket. -
Having trouble posting to Craig's List

Was doing some tests. I took pics directly from my hard drive to Craig's List and the ad uploaded. However, when going from Photobucket to Craig's list the classified does not upload. Kind of lost here. -

The pics on my Photobucket page are 140 X 105. Pic size should not be an issue. When I uploaded the pics from my camera. They were a high resolution 1086 X 1000. Photobucket knocks down the size when you uplaod to Photobucket. -

I don't have an account with Craig's list it lets you do a classified without an account. I filled in a the classified ad, pasted my HTML pics where you see browse. Whe the classified is done I go to the bottom of the page to click on continue. I click on continue but nothing happens. Anyone have this trouble. Thanks. George

I think you can find a skeleton at Micheal's or a Hoalloween costume shop. Halloween is coming soon.

I have casted parts and bodies. For resin I used Vagabonds 2 part resin. For the rubber I used the silicone rubber from GI Silicones. The $30 and $40 kits don't give enough to do bodies unless it's a Matchbox car size. To do a 1/25 scale body you need at least 32 ounces of rubber. As suggested by another poster about getting the large quantities; 10lb, 20lb, etc of rubber. He is right on. with practice you can cast anything. But you'll be spending money to do it.

I would like to suggest an 81' thru 87' Pontiac Grand Prix. The front and rear bumpers can be gotten off the Petty or Earnhart kits. The body just needs to be modified in the front fender areas.

Definetly revolutionize the resin casting business. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggvzcGdZsTc

Would There be any Interest?
GMP440 replied to Danno's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
RMR Resin will be producing a 77' Can AM. Same body style as the Grand AM. It's supposed to be released sometime in September. -
