The '58 i got on ebay was both expensive and started! So i had the double pleasure of skipping lunches and doing the purple bath thing..... Joe.

If it is not in the box, the guy who makes a good R/S trans kit will make a fortune. I am just sayin' Joe.

If i may make a suggestion, you can vastly improve the look of those front parking/turn lights. First trace their outline on thin tape (Tamiya). Then holding them face up under your finger rub on sand paper until the back falls away from the raised chrysler symbol. Now cut clear plastic sheet using the tape templates and glue the symbols on. As i recall i painted the recess in the valance silver and used a pin head painted yellow for the bulb. Joe.

I agree, not too bad. Now show me the convertible, engine choices and interior! Joe.

Thank you for this. I just got mine as well from HLJ. joe.

The wheelbase on my '58 is 4.125. On the '62 body, it appears to be about 4.25 to 4.375 to the center of the wheel openings. joe.

Well if it is so is my Pro Modeler '58 Corvette because they are vitually identical!,,

I have to do something like that. I get so much dust in my paint. joe.

Thanks guys. I actually caught up with the kit in the afternoon. 4202 is the Hemified kit. Joe.

"...stock, street and strip..." First of all some can't count! Second maybe there is no difference between stock and street? Regardless, is this the Hemified kit without the decals? Thanks for any help. Joe.

I hope there is some definitive news on 1/12 Camaro. Hopefully, Revell will show its desire to make great profits by including an RS option!!!!!

Plastheniker and Bill, Thanks for your responses. There appears to be tons of aftermarket for the Fujimi too! Joe.

I appreciate the tips guys. I am not giving up on the mug warmer yet. I just have tomove it some place i cannot forget it!!! joe.

I was getting ready to clear coat the fairing on a 1/12 Moto Guzzi (for the umpteenth time)and as usual I popped the clear coat can on my coffee mug warmer to give it some heat. I totally forgot about it until the can fell over. It fell over because the bottom expanded out!!! When I found it. It was on its side. If it blew up i am sure it would have done a bunch of damage (although everything would have probably dried shiny!!!!!) and it would have given me a heart attack too! Just a reminder if anyone else warms their spray cans (bombs) this way and has a bad memory..... joe.

Thanks for the information, 1/16 is interesting but i do not have anything else in that scale. thanks all, joe.

Fantastic Dio. thanks for the tip. joe.

Extremely nice build. I understand that technically it is a curbside, so how was the detail on the parts of the engine/trans that you could see out the back??? thanks, joe.

I am more interested in stock than custom but either is ok. 1/25 preferred. Thanks, joe.

Is there any consensus on which of the two currently available kits is the most accurate, Fujimi or Revell of Germany?? This build has inspired me to build one soon! Thanks, Joe.

I do it because most all of you do it better. I get inspired and I try to do as well. Joe.

Is the pe included or an extra??? joe

I love it. Reminds me of my brother-in-laws TR 3a. It was red. joe.

Beautifully done. Very clean. joe.

I think you did an excellent job on that one. Joe.

Thanks Daddyfink
