  1. Anybody know if this book was found at a $40 price & from where ?
  2. Thanks Guys, I'll try it on some scrap tyres. The tube idea sounds better Dan & no having run fingers under the cold tap lol
  3. Fantastic ! How did you get the paint effect ?
  4. Fantastic ! Wonder if the same idea would work but based on the 57 Chevy ?
  5. Got a couple of old wrecks on the build bench, how do I make the tyres look flat ?
  6. I'll be starting it on Dec 1st, for a model comp here in the UK Jim Also thinking about the 64 Galaxie cop car & 55 (?) Buick from Highway Patrolman. Always thought they were late 60's cars listening to the track, then saw the video.
  7. Great looking satin black car. I had a satin black '86 Fox, sadly only a 2.3 . Sold it & bought a GT, that I keep thinking about giving a satin black paint job
  8. Might have to jump in on this, if its not too late. Got a thing for 1;1 & 1;25 ol' cop cars. Got several half finished black & whites; Revell Caprice (the taxi so need decals ect) 57 Chevy pursuit car (running a blown 409) 57 Chevy 'Cop Out' funny car. Built from a Plum Crazy Lindberg Crown Vic. Due to be a weathered old ex patrol car (update on Terry Jesses Dirty Old Dodge article) Not started yet, is a 79 ? Trans Am, from the start of Cannonball Run. I had a 1;1 86 Caprice, painted as an old black n white kinda Bluesbrothers style Looked like it had been painted by Ray Charles with a broom
  9. Is it too late for jumping in ? I'm a big Boss fan, so what about the 32 Ford from RamRod ? 'She's a hot stepping Hemi with a for on the floor She's a RoadRunner engine in a 32 Ford' I've got a 32 High Boy, just gotta find a Hemi.
  10. Nice build. How different can a car look, just by changing the colour. Got a couple of these, just to have the cool wheels. Planning one thats satin black, kinda modern rat rod look.
  11. Just seen this, wow ! Fantastic ! Are the front & rear resin bumpers still availible ?
  12. Cool truck. Looks like it should be in Mad Max !
  13. Love the 57 Chevy. Is that a Monogram kit ?
  14. When I test fitted the tyres into the stencil, I found the 'ridge' in the sidewall slotted into the stencil hole. I'll find some old tyres, mask the tread & tape them to the stencil & try it. I assume normal acrylic spray paint will still to the tyres if I wash & degrease ?
  15. Any info on how to spray whitewalls on to un-named tyres ? I'm sure I saw somewhere about tapeing them to the back of a curcular artist stencil ? Whats the best paint to use ? I dont have an airbrush, just rely on acrylic rattle spray cans.
  16. Nice looking truck, what wheels are they ? That sucks that the X did that, but glad that you came out of it all and are finding time to build again.
  17. 78's good ! Would a Dodge Hemi, from the Revell Charger fit in there ?
  18. Other than the resin chassis, are there any other resin parts for this kit ? Replacement hood ? In the UK, they were Ford Populars, commonly known as Pops but they had a different front grill. Anybody got a pic of the Perrys Resin body ? Its not on the site & got no reply from the email I sent.
  19. Maybe Rosco watched the Cale Yarborough 'pop off valve' episode lol. Great set up. Never seen a wagon before. Assume thats a phantom ? Great to hear the storys from you guys that drove th 1;1's back when they was in service. Somehow, Police cars in the UK just aint the same
  20. Thanks for the info Scott. Start hunting through my parts box's. Dan, that is spot on ! Got more info please ?
  21. Good is different but different isnt always good !! Too much money not enough taste. If I won the lotto, I def wouldnt drive this or any other 'super car' !!
  22. That looks good. I so nearly bought a 1;1 Lightning, shame they only got 3 seats.
  23. Thanks for all the info / suggestions. The trailers I have are amt / revell twin axles, got pick ups & panel van to go with them, so was thinking about the hauler. As great as the Galaxie trailer is, I think I'll stick with a truck. If I get a Short Hauler box truck, would the resin hauler body fit right on the chassis ? Ive got a full set of Tennessee Thunder decals, so was thinking of a race hauler & matching 57, based on the Revell Pro Mod.
  24. Thanks Scott, thats the kinda info I'm looking for Whats under the front ?
