Lets try again OK, posted but must be still doing something wrong ??? Anyways, the white 1 was built at least years (20 odd ?) from a Goon car. Due a rebuilt soon. After reading Terrys SAE article on how to build the Dirty old Dodge, again 20 years ago ? I thought I'd build one. Then saw a pic of a Monaco Taxi in UK mag Street Machine, so thought combine the 2 & build a dirty old Taxi. It got dented, dinged & painted ect but never finished, though I still have it. A few weeks ago on the Rods & Sods forum, a Monaco Taxi was listed for sale & I bought it, pic above. Turns out its the same Taxi that I saw in the mag years back ! Terry, you still got a copy of the article you could email me ?

Thanks for posting. Cool NYPD Dominik, love that Plymouth grill. Whats on the seat of the unmarked car, donuts ? Great build Sam, what chassis is under there or did you just mod the original ? I'll post mine as soon as I get chance to load them on photobucket.

Revell Duece coupe & 409 from an Impala ? Good call a/gass but what year ? -
Want a cheap display case ? Get down the pet shop & buy a fish tank. Turn it upside down & ya done ! Add some deading to the bottom (or top if your a fish) held on by clear mastic & it will look even better. Oh, & the postman brought me 2 Rosco Monaco's today & he's due back at least 4 times next week !

MATCO TOOLS '57 Chevy Pro Mod

W O W Nothin' else to say ! -
Anybody else been inspired to build a car seen in your fave music video or track ? Gotta admit to being a BIG Bruce Springsteen fan. After listening to Highway Patrolman on the way home from work, I watched the music video, which is from the Indian Runner film, and . . . . . Anybody make a 4 door 63 Galaxie resin conversion to go with the AMT kit ? The 55 Buick is done as a die cast cop car, so could use that as a base. Then I got thinking; Ram Rod = 32 Ford with a Road Runner hemi Racing in the Street = 69 Chevy (but which one ?) Caddilac Ranch = ??? Whats yours ???

1;12 57 Chevy wheels ?
57peppershaker replied to 57peppershaker's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks guys. Was just looking for something more modern / larger diameter. The kit ones look like 15", so 17" would prob be more in line with whats being used on cars. My 1;1 57 has 17 & 18"'s. Not sure of the overall diameter of the RC wheels n tyres but they are 26 or 31mm wide. -
I've had a half built Monogram 57 Chevy on the 'to do' list for toooo long (about 20 years !) Even the 5 spoke wheels from the 1;12 Camaro now look dated, any more modern options ? I found some ARE style 5 spokes & tyres from a 1;10 R/C car, anybody know if they would be ok ?

1/24 Revell '70 Plymouth Superbird
57peppershaker replied to Mr. Moparman's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I've got the blue version & a couple of the GTX's, from years back. They all share the same high back seats. Is there a front bench I could use ? -

Do All Models...
57peppershaker replied to Buhnanah's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Revell snap / easy build kits are ok. The coloured plastic can be polished rather than painting. I know they did a pre painted snap 57 Chevy, that looks good after a very quick build. AMT did pre painted Proshop kits. Regular kits, but all the parts as well as the body come pre painted. More parts & sometimes build options (again a 57 Chevy) & you would need glue to assemble. Good luck in finding what you want, & enjoy building them. Post a few pics when your finished. Welcome to the site Buhnanah -
British tri chev gassers - anyone interested?
57peppershaker replied to Andrew's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
George, your right ! Well, about Honky Tonkin anyway. A few years ago the guys that then owned it, was invited to ship the car over & run in the US. Guess thats 1 of the pics. The car is now run street legal, more or less how you see it in that pic. Red windows & all ! The other cars are pictured in the UK. I have many pics & owner info on all these 4 cars. As Andrew says, if anybody wants info, I'll be more than happy to provide it. A big thanks has to go to Rick Lucus. Now, who wants to build a US / UK Tri Chevy ???? -
