Ben, I've often wondered this myself. I'd like to find the build thread for the '59 Skyliner Cheers, Ian

The Misses and I are just relaxing today.

I've used bleach to remove chrome from plastic for years, works great I just used Purple Cleaner engine degreaser to remove hand painted acrylic paint from the Ferrari I'm working on.. Works pretty good, but it has to sit for a while before it can be scrubber off. Cheers, Ian

I like the nice smooth bodywork. Verado Green was the color of my first car, a 4 door 1969 Custom S

Small world, hey Lee? Rob, Like the pic. Good stuff

Here is a pic of the kit in question... Needs some TLC and a decal sheet

Got a new pair of snowpants for work, and a small shopvac. Spent most of the afternoon vacuuming spiderwebs and stuff...

Welcome aboard Rob. Great place to hang out

Chris, Printed them off today. Thanks, Cheers, Ian

Love that poem! I served with Marines in Afghanistan back in '05-06. I have a deep respect for the Devil Dogs Christmas Day 2005, I was on ECP duty at FOB Sharana in Afghanistan... I salute all my brothers and sisters in uniform all over the world. Merry Christmas to all Cheers, Ian

SWEET!!!!

Chris, COOL! Thanks!

Chris, The last time I checked, you had to pay to have a copy shipped. I think at one time, you could download copies of instructions for free. Cheers, Ian

Yes, thanks you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone

John, It may be a little off topic, but its still interesting stuff. In hindsight, we can see how the corprorate minds were thinking about standardization, what works and what didn't(i.e. Edsels), etc..etc.. All in all, I'm still going to add the kit to my stash Cheers, Ian

Mirage, That was the only thing salavagable from the box Slant, I'll check them out for sure, thanks

You guys are killing me, you're all trolls!! Western UP, Allouez, Copper Country, and yes, Jordan lives in Houghton,(Michigan Tech student), but he's a troll too We call people like Jordan "transplanted Yoopers" Jerry, My oldest boy lives in Grand Rapids, and he visits Riders on 28th St when his work schedule allows. He's a member of some club down there, but I'n not sure which one. If you're interested in contacting him, PM me. Cheers, Ian

Hey all, Just picked this up from a buddy of mine in a trade Does anyone have a set of instructions I can copy? Thanks, Ian

I see Santa has taste Same to you and yours Cheers, Ian

Dude, we all go through it. Just ask superhornet1015, I've been bugging him to finally finish something. He hasn't finished anything in almost 2 years Cheers, Ian

trey, Welcome aboard, man I use super glue for pretty much everything. I'm primarily an aircraft builder, so I use super glue to fill seams, attatch parts, etc. For smaller subassemblies I use this stuff called Tenax 7R. It's one of those liquid solvent glues that "welds" the parts together by slightly melting the plastic. Applied with an old Testors paint brush. Neat stuff. If you can, avoid epoxy glues, its really sticky and can get on everything, especially clear parts. If you decide to go the super glue route, I would recommend keeping a small bottle of nail polish remover close by.... It works great to break super glue bonds if you accidentally glue yourself to plastic(don't ask me how I know this ) But, keep hanging around here, and you will definately learn stuff. I have Cheers, Ian

Chuck, Didn't Arii or Aoshima also release a '72 GTO? I bet that one is real treat as well.

Groucho, Welcome aboard! Nice lookin' builds....I see a few Ponchos on those shelves Cheers, Ian

mike, Yeah, I concur, 71-73 Grandvilles...

I actually went to a REAL hobby shop yesterday for the first time in almost a year, and finally took a good look at that kit. It's a base Chevy 150 model with DOG DISH HUBCAPS!!!! If I had known that, I would have brought more money with me I'll pick one up sooner or later Cheers, Ian
