  1. glad I could help, post pics when you get it done!
  2. Hey Chris, I ran into the same problem and ended up making my own. I was building the AMT 67 Camaro. I started with the kits rear axle. The factory covers have what I would call an eyebrow across the top portion of the cover. I've included a photo of a typical 12 bolt rear cover. I took a strip of plastic and glued it to the axle and filled and sanded it to the correct shape. At the time I just made bolt heads" 12 of them" and added them to the outer edge. There a little big here. I just tried to evenly space them apart according to the photo. I have since found Plastruct hex in really small sizes that I now use to recreate bolt heads. Hope this helps.
  3. This has become my favorite thread, please keep them coming.
  4. Just got this off EBay, AMT 65 Mustang Fastback, someone put it together with elders or some kind of silicone. Practically fell apart, its in the purple pond.
  5. I returned to a store in Snellville, my first trip there they had very few kits, left empty handed. Yesterday, they had restocked I guess,and had a great assortment, I bought three more kits Brings my total up to 9 purchased.
  6. Hmmm. I emailed Möbius,and they replied it should straighten out when glued to the chassis. Not the answer I was looking for.
  7. I picked up a Belvedere kit from my LHS, the last one they had, got it home and unwrapped it and the body is really warped, twisted. Did yours have this issue. The body is really thin and it seems like it might work after its all together,and glued.
  8. Very nice, amazing clean work!
  9. WOW...... Oh.....did I already say that? I need to get off of here and go build something!
  10. Awesome work, how do you do this? Do you or would you do a video showing the process?
  11. I don't recall any scecific kit with those headers. I'm thinking modify exsisting headers or scratch build. I wonder if the headers from the AMT Fruit wagon kits could be turned upside down and modified to work?
  12. I'm loving this, thanks for sharing. This one is hitting close to home as I at one time owned a 70 Barracuda with a 440,and a torqueflite automatic transmission. The car was triple black, and had what was referred to as a bench- bucket front seat,and a column shifter. Also had a Dana 60 rear axle. Very strange car. I sometimes thought it was put together with the left over parts from that year. I love this and I'll be watching!
  13. I was at the store in Marietta on Friday, they had Tommy Grove Mustang Funny, Little Red Wagon, the AMT Gremlin kit"large box", snap Mid 70s Monte Carlo,, Chevy SSR Truck, Color Me Gone 64 Dodge,and several military kits. I'm new to this stor and signed up for the discount card, does anyone know if stores get different inventory?
  14. Your really good. I love restoration projects!
  15. Very nice Tomas, they look great together!
  16. Did you adjust the front ride height, it seems most of these kits I see built have the nose too high?
  17. I like it !
  18. Great motor!!! Love the detail. The drape of the plug wires look very real. Whose wire do you use?
