  1. Brian, are you trying to replicate the LED daytime running lights in the bottom of the Camaro's headlamps?
  2. Good grief, that's a lot of windows! I think I will do a light coat of clear to seal the masks before I shoot the black. I was planning on using flat because the headliner detail and overhead console are part of the glass unit. Thanks a lot guys!
  3. Trevor, I am not sure what you are saying. This window unit has engraving around the outside indicating where the black is supposed to be. Dale, I read the airbrush suggestion online somewhere as well and was wondering why it would be preferred to a rattle can. If there is good reason for it, I can dust off my Paasche H.
  4. I am working on a Golf R32 and it came with masks for the inside of the window unit. There aren't any instructions (in English anyway). Best I can gather online is that you cut them out and stick them to the inside of the windows following the markings on the windows, mask the outside for overspray, and shoot a light coat of black. Anything I am missing? I have never built a kit with window masks included before.
  5. Battery is on whichever side the starter is on IIRC. Pontiac and Oldsmobile have it on the driver's side, Chevrolet on the passenger side. Buick, I don't remember. It makes sense that the OHC would have a passenger side battery because of it being based on a Chevy block.
  6. I guess it's technically "LA's Totally Awesome".
  7. It was Revell, the hardest model chrome in the world. I had just bought the LA Awesome, and I had some chrome to remove, so I decided to see if it worked as well as Super Clean. It doesn't. If it removes paint, you certainly can't beat the Dollar Tree price!
  8. I hope they got ALL of the things that changed between 68 and 69 model years incorporated in the new kit.
  9. I haven't used it on paint yet, but it did not budge chrome. It works ok to clean my BBQ though.
  10. baaaaaaaad for the
  11. The antique stores that I have visited around Sacramento never seem to have anything. I did see an original AMT C3 'Vette in one (71-72, forget which) but it was over $200 and the "new tool" is a much nicer kit anyway if I wanted to build a C3. You also sometimes see overpriced NASCAR diecasts.
  12. would be baaaaaaaaad
  13. Several years of MPC full-size 60s-70s Chevys had something similar. The center caps are blank though. Not sure what wheel they were trying to simulate.
  14. Vice-grips somewhere else
  15. I think that it is correct. 68 was the last year of the alternator on the driver's side, AC or not. Compressor would have been on the passenger side and driven with a long belt. Starting in 69, the alternator moved to the passenger side. An AC car had the compressor on the driver's side, driven with a shorter belt around a dual groove PS pulley.
