I love them all.I use the 3 axle tag as parts.the extras are good.the longer they get...the more planning goes into it for assembly .the 44ft which is no longer available except though those that have them.the weight causes issue with the torsion bar suspension. I've made copies of theres (scratch build) and made steel wire in the center so no sagging or postive camber happens...nice kits.......Chris

Just an idea for reissues
Nova-ss replied to GaryR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree with most of ya all,so many of the older kits were gone by the time I was able to build them.so its nice...great what ever word fits.I would love to have updated kits with chassis plates with no exhaust,rear and front suspension, better looking brakes,separated interior seats,side panels for interior tubs.....all separated.so many other things to make them better.I don't know all the behind scenes of licensing and dollar issues.I know in my own business...no investment....which is risky to do....no return in dollars. there is so many problems involved in what we're talking about thats difficult for everyone to understand.I agree with what others have said...nobody is right or wrong.its humans,the way we are............Chris -
Thanks Ron for your smokin and informative review.I enjoyed the colors available on interior an exterior. your reseach helped me..thank you....Chris

The ride height looks like there is no engine in it.it has to set down.maybe that a bit out of the spring up front to get it to set down.thats what I'll be doing to mine.there seems to be some wild colors on the net.I'm thinking the yellow or orange.I spec will see the 50th anniversary camaro next year......Chris

I had bought two.one for my friend for b-day and mine.great looking,,love it . haven't started yet.the two I bought are both white.I'm going to have to chasr down factory stock colors for interior and exterior. and see what performance parts can be added to it.I'm excited to start,but to many projects going now my friend wants to paint his sapphire blue. what are you'll's plans on your camaro's............Chris

I hear ya Bill.I'm not ready to build the 62 Plymouth yet.just finding what I need for this kit but the top up is what I want for this one.if I don't build what I want then the passion for the build leaves and it will never get done.so looking for a top is important to me.if I can't find one...then making it is next...so thats why the question on how to make a convertible top up for this one...thank you and the others for all the info and pictures.....Chris -

Nova-ss replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Amazing Bill...thank you for the hyper link to your build.It took awhile but read it all.enjoyed it immensely. learned alot.and saw your amazing work.I understand how projects get set back.I lose direct because of the unsatisfied feelings,till the problems get solved.then its back on. I understand the "reveal" stamp as its being called.you did smokun work on the frame...you know...I don't know if I want it on my 32 frame....I'll have to think about it.I mite choose to remove them or not put them in on my 32..I still wonder what Fords purpose for them was....you know? thank you again for your help on the 32 ford and MPC 32 ford of Milners coupe.I have mine now.it came a few days ago.will be looking it over along with reading more of the info you suggested....thank ya so much Bill.....Chris -

Steve, Looks good.I guess I'll be looking and talking with a friend to see if he has one.I would rath not buy a Johan 62 Dodge kit,then take the top out of it.is it better to make your own subframes ,then put tissue with elmars thinned and sprayed on a the tissue top?...I don't know where to look...or ask? Thank you for all the info and to the others helping with my education on this. Is there a book or mag that talks and shows all Johan kits?....thank ya...Chris -
