  1. Yeah, it was a 70 or 71. I had a yellow one. IIRC there were several choices, like a Mustang, Montego, maybe a Mavewreck. I don't remember which soap it came on.
  2. I don't know if you are on Fakebook, but I have a couple of friends that have had good luck selling all kinds of oddball stuff on Marketplace.
  3. I agree with Greg regarding the spoon test. Just pick the one you like best. And yes, I would like to see it over a light metallic silver as well.
  4. I remember when kit prices went up to $2.25 from $2.00. I had to raise my price-per-lawn to compensate.
  5. Brian, are you trying to replicate the LED daytime running lights in the bottom of the Camaro's headlamps?
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I guess it's technically "LA's Totally Awesome".
  11. 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!
  12. I hope they got ALL of the things that changed between 68 and 69 model years incorporated in the new kit.
  13. I haven't used it on paint yet, but it did not budge chrome. It works ok to clean my BBQ though.
  14. baaaaaaaad for the
  15. 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.
  16. would be baaaaaaaaad
