I'd love to post pics, but resizing is something I can't seem to do. It never works. -
Chevy six sylinder engine
Dwight55 replied to Bill J's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The AMT 1960 chevy pickup has a nice one. -
A except, I do like the wide whites
-
Unless your fussy about color, it should work. 55 Chevy sixes were blue.

Why do your kits end up stalled
Dwight55 replied to atomicholiday's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
This is a winter hobby for me. In the nicer weather I'm playing with the 1/1 cars. AND this dang puter takes away from my time working on models. -

Yes that is sad. RIP, Ray -
No plastic 2014 Stingray kits? Could it be?
Dwight55 replied to Len Geisler's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I have at least one of every year Vette from 53 - 2013. Some are proms, some metal and some plastic. If they don't do a 14, I will be terribly disappointed. Myself, I don't care if its metal or plastic, as long as its accurate. -
I remember the car at RWIS meetings. And I remember your son, but you must be off on his age.. He can't be 26...........can he? My but time flies.

Dwight55 replied to 65slotcar's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Wow. I still have my Ford GT cox sidewinder my mom bought me for CHRISTmas, somewhere around 65. Plus the original box although it pretty beat up. Makes me wonder what it would bring.......... -

Buying multiple issues of the same kit
Dwight55 replied to ChrisPflug's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When the 55 chevy 2dr sedan came out in 1990?, I bought 2 cases (24). I built 13, all in different colors and have since then bought 2 more of the re-issues. Now that Revellogram has the hardtop, I have 6 of them. And 11 converts. -

What makes us/you shelve a build ?
Dwight55 replied to cobraman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
For me its a weather issue. This is mostly a winter time hobby. In the spring, summer and fall, I'm outside with my first love. A 55 chevy. However, in 2009 I was laid off for 2 weeks so I did finish 9 models that had been started and not finished. -
The part # on my old can. I guess every Testors paint has a number
-
I guess I should have explained more. I tried to do enamel paint job with a 2part laquer gloss over the top. I've used the 2 part clear with the 2 part paint with good results, From my experience with real car paint, I know laquer will not sit well over enamel.
-
I'm having trouble finding a high gloss clear for testors enamels. Had 3 cans of #1814 which I really liked. Now its gone and I can't find it anymore. Can anyone tell me of a suitable replacement. I tried the 2 part laquer with disastrous results. (Wet look) Thanks ahead of time.
