  1. OK guys, I would like to put aside financial point of view, but it seems is always linked. Weel, my question is: why some old AMT kits aren´t reissued? I mean, always the same that are reboxed. For instance, why not the 1964 or 1966 Lincoln Continental kits are beeing reissued? Is it a financial issue or some of the old tools are damaged?
  2. Yeap.... I saw this a few days ago... To be honest, it is not the same design I want to... but it is very close.... Thanks brother.
  3. WOW.. great tip. Thanks Mark I have this kit.... gonna check it out! 😉
  4. Hi folks Where I can find this "bullet" style cap for my next hot rod project? Thanks
  5. Thanks Dino. Still wondering on how to solve this... Besides that, the original wheel is 4 lugs and the resin option is 5 lugs...
  6. Great projetct. Even better choice of wheels. You should consider make copies...
  7. I just found one (aftermarket) from Modeler 124. But it is 18" (the real one is 16"). Not a big issue once I could reduce it on the late... Anyways, I would still like to hear from you...
  8. Hi guys. Does anyone can remeber if there is any kit that could provide me this type of wheel or at last a very good source for a start? Thnaks.
  9. yeap, but that is not the real issue once the Vette chassi was lengthened for the Ompostor. My doubt is regarding other parts ;-) Thanks anyway ;-) Ace-Garageguy many thanks for your insights my friend. Very usefull!!! Exactly what I was in need... Jantrix, that´s exactly kinda work I go deep in the hobby. I just love to cut, merge, modifie, etc etc... Hope to start a topic very soon ;-) Thanks Casey, yeah, that's true... almost... too bad, I think! Thanks for the photo. At least I have the right wheels ready to go already! Muncie, thank you so much for the inputs. Right on point. I have plenty of photos, measurements, etc etc. Also made a visit tour in 2013 at Foose´s Shop and could see in person the Impostor being fabricated (was in baremetal yet). Reference material is enough for me. I just need the right kit(s) in order to start this project. Gonna grab some Vettes, fellas! Thank you so much guys. I really appreciated that!
  10. Hello guys Ok. Foose´s cars are always a trouble subject. Some like, some don´t. Well, I kinda like it. Not 100% of his cars, but I appreciate almost all of them And one is '65 Chevy Impala Impostor. Once there is no complete kit of '09 Corvette (only a few snap versions from AMT), what would be the best donor instead of? I mean, I´m not a big expert on Vettes, but are the 2008, 2010 alike in terms of engine & suspension? Could I use a close year model or would be better to get a '06 Z06 from Revell for mechanical parts and the '09 from AMT for the interior parts? Thanks
  11. Hello fellas. is there any 1970 Plymouth valiant resin transkit available?
  12. very nice... May I ask you what paint did you use on the valve covers? Really great!
  13. Oh, that's ok for me .. My concern is exactly the body, because so far I only found it in resin.. I could use '69 as a donor... Thanks ;-)
  14. Yes, just in case it allows me to reproduce Dan Gurney's Bud Moore 1967 Mercury Cougar, Wondering if it does or doens't
  15. unfortunately, listed in the gallery but not listed in the pricelist. I may assume it isn´t available anylonger. Sent Steve an email anyway.. hope for positive repply ;-) Yeap, but I really need '65.. different front clip & headlight... :-( Thanks guys
  16. Hello. Is there any seller for the '65 Dodge Dart? I already found the AWB version, but stock version would be nicier Thanks.
  17. Amazing. I would like to purchase those engines... FordGT40 MKI, MKII and Pantera 351. How do we proceed? Would you let us know a website or does it will proceed trought email/PM? Thanks and congrats
  18. Has anyone seen this? Japanese manufacturer Platz (the same manufacturer of the BMW M6 GT3) will launch a wheel model. Does they want to venture into aftermarket? If so, I say they started well. Good choice. 1/24 Sovereing chrome wheel Although it is the same model already available from Pegasus, it is still a good indication of new options coming up.
  19. Thin, I think you are asking too much By Suspension components I could undestand bars, "A" arms, shock absorbers, springs, air suspension kit, etc. Right? Most of these components you should modified by yourself -by kitbashing or scratchbuilding, even because each project (and mainly each kit) has its peculiarities. You even can find something over here, something over there.. but other than wheels and disk breaks sets, I would say it is hard to find. I already saw air bags in 3D printed and machined, and a 4link 3D printed as well.
  20. Do you have a Facebook account? If so, you can use Facebook. Just upload your photos (create an album if you wish) and set the privacy to "only me"
  21. Hello. Does anybody have further info regarding this new Shuey model from Pegasus? In their website, no info if 19' or 23'. Considering the size of the knock-off and the rim, my two cents are for 19' I also noticed that they changed the tire sizes. Maybe because there was a lot of complains regarding previous was too thin? Anyway, I love this wheel model... Thanks Pegasus... And please, make this big & little set available too!
