I just checked, a pack of 12 for $140 a set... Math tells me I'll be paying $11.70 a piece, Im getting them at hobby lobby for $6.99 a piece and I usually visit there on Thursdays looking for 1/64 diecast (autoworld cat eye chevs)

Sadly, all I can find of those cases is 2 maybe 3 at a time at my local hobby lobby... Michaels don't have any at all or if they do I cant find any.

I heard somewhere there is a chrome that doesnt need a black base, would this be it or how would it look without a black base?

Turning out pretty cool, I to have this kit in my stash of "One of these days I'll get to it" LOL

Yes, I'm talking about the old monogram (Recent Ollies sale kits, "Classic Cruisers") and I don't even see ANYTHING listed for a Master Cylinder of any kind either on the instructions manual?

I just figured out looking at my Monogram 56 Chev Bel Air kit that the brake booster doesnt exist and that where it would mount is the cut out where the hood hinge goes in. Anyone else notice that?

I remember seeing someone, somewhere casted a correction kit I.e... Basically casted the body with the fenders attached

I've always used that little bottle of testors Decal Set but it's to small of a bottle.i know of Micro set and a Tamiya had a bottle or two. My problem is there is only 3 shops here (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Bee line which is a train shop) and none of them have anything what I need. I know Amazon and modelround up sells it online. Where is everyone getting it if they don't have any hobby shops near?

Marietta Ohio location

Was in Southside Parkersburg location the other day, couldn't find a single model any kind, anywhere... maybe here I might stop into the Marietta Ohio location and see if they have anything in the next couple days?

Really? I did see some stuff for the 1:64 hot wheels crowd, Ill have to look around later when I get a chance

Wow! Last post was just shy of Christmas 2024... Is this thread DEAD? I hope not.

Finally broke down and snagged one of these mini boxes for my bench Burple...(My mother loved Purple for some reason before she passed away a few years back 😭)

I'm waiting on the stepside to get reissued. I found a few on eBay the other day and man the prices.... 🤮

This is turning out pretty cool. Id love to find someone that does a Cat Eye conversion for this 99 Silverado kit...

Not sure, Never used any of it yet, just got it the other day... busy at work pulling 4-5 hour days which is all I can get for retail (I'm starting to find other work)

What are you using for the 2wd suspension? modified van kit stuff or maybe the c1500 chassis from the obs kit?

I have a bunch of nonsense ads to, went to clear my cookies and they still exist. I have done the Report Ads suggestion that someone mentioned earlier. I've had that on my other computer, didn't see any difference but I may try it again on this chromebook?

Washi Tape off Amazon (supposed to be similar to Tamiya fine line without the cost???) Got this spray booth off Amazon during the Amazon prime days... This thing is HUGE!

"Appears to be all there..." A very big NOPE! Found that the engine is completely MIA except a few bits... So I say it might be perfect for a engine swap. I was looking a little for like a small block Chevy 383 stroker or something...I'll look some more tomorrow or later. Also am looking for a few odd/end pieces I'll post in the wanted section later. But this is where I am at whilst on a Facebook model auction for tonight. Most of the stuff is ready for primer/paint... Just what color(s) I'm not sure yet? I worked on the piller and it's pretty straight but will straighten it more later

edited...cant type well on my phone, so edited it once uploaded via my computer

Looking through the forums here, I only found 1 other 56 Bel Air kit built. This kit I got absolutely FREE!!! when I did a storage clean out job in town, this kit was in there and it appears to be all there. Going through it some, it appears to have had the pillars broke/bent so I will be working on straightening that out first... but originally I watch some YouTube and there was a guy that had a 57 that he took on power tour, so I was searching around and unfortunately the lack of $$$ doesn't allow me to get the real deal yet but stumbled on a 56 Bel air being sold at Mecum here in about another week or so in Florida that I might build a replica of being I was hoping to get the real one and power tour it next year (but unless something happens soon, that probably wont happen) I can Dream cant I!?

This is cool, saw the GTO show off when Steve Magnete (I am horrible with names lol) gave one to his buddy. soon down the road I'll nab one,

Cool looking build

Where'd those longbed sides come from? looks resin?
