  1. I have a spare 65 GTO roof that either you or Bill can have if you want it. In case you both want it, whoever speaks up first gets it.
  2. AMT\ERTL 70 Monte Carlo 71 Duster 71 Charger REVELL-MONOGRAM I think the 66 Impala has A/C
  3. need opposable thumbs
  4. I have ordered random things from China and Taiwan on eBay, and it has always come much quicker than they say. My LHS doesn't have any X-22 either, BTW.
  5. Friday I got the re-released 71 Duster, and four boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
  6. 396 with a 2-barrel was available in the full size cars and wagons in 1969 only. I believe it was rated at 265 HP.
  7. Anyone know if a set of headers that fit the AMT Duster kit reasonably well? I guess SBC headers would suffice due to the center exhaust port arrangement.
  8. Last weekend I was doing some chassis/interior painting for a Revell Chevy truck. Tamiya paints and Testors Metalizer mostly. It was in the mid 50s and raining, and I was painting on my front porch. I got cocky and primed the roof section, then a coat of Tamiya white. Looked really good! Another coat of white and TS13. I was afraid it would blush because of the rain, but it looks great. No dust when it is raining!
  9. http://www.superchevy.com/features/sucs-0732-chevy-l79-engine/ https://www.chevelles.com/forums/45-chevelle-tech/307270-68-chevelle-l79.html Apparently. Linkee number 2 shows a Concours L79 which has to be rarer than chicken lips.
  10. I hope someone will come out with the standard hood and a PE kit soon. I would like to build a Malibu L79.
  11. I *hope* the donor cars were unrestorable. The Cadillac was a 1-of-99 Eldorado Brougham by Pininfarina, and I would hate to see a restorable Nomad lose its roof. https://notoriousluxury.com/2013/11/23/1959-1960-cadillac-eldorado-brougham/
  12. I was going to mention that you can buy directly from Tamiya in California, but I went on their site and saw that many of the 10ml bottles show "sold out". Guess it's time to buy extras of your favorite colors when you find them.....
  13. Can't make this stuff up. They announce a 90210 "reboot" without him, and he has a stroke the same day.
  14. A Gotta Have It Green 2013 Boss 302 (like the one on the Revell box) sitting beside the freeway with both driver's side tires blown out. 255/40 and 285/30-19s, IIRC. That's going to leave a mark in the wallet.
  15. Haunted Hamburger menu https://thehauntedhamburger.com
  16. Yeah, I heard that Hastings is gone. I haven't been there since summer 2012 when I was doing the final stuff to sell the house.
