    Finally got some color on the bodies, using base coat/clear coat.

    These are some good ideas I also need to remember, a cool extra detail. I do know that Chief Joseph makes some truck tires that are weighted.

    Shot some color on the underside of the bodies and front clips last week. Finished the headlight bezels. Ugly resin ones compared to more realistic and proportionate aluminum. Happy Resurrection Sunday! Karl

    If you look at the box, the grills are different per year and the 66 is 4wd

    Overflow oil cans done! Need to locate and fit 2nd front clip, and I will finish priming. Finally, not quite, but almost ready for some paint!
  6. 64SS350
    Absolutely agree!

    Yes, back side of the tires are not finished. He must use an open backed mold.

    I used the Pennzoil decals from this kit back in the beginning of 2019 on the Flintstone Flyer build. Dug out the box to use the others for the last two builds and the decals are extremely delicate. Tore one or two while dry on the backing paper, let alone after I soaked them for application. Is this a problem for all current AMT decals, or something pertaining to this or certain kits? Karl

    Engines are 99% , I found my source of decals for the overflow oil cans, so now I can finish those. I used the same line for gas as before, if I find more, I will stock up! This is an old phone line from my house, it has a solid core wire. Simply pull the wire, and it slips beautifully over a .021 straight pin with no glue!

    I have used this on the Flintstone Flyers, it doesn't do bad. You must be careful, even coat(s) are a MUST, as it is translucent. Takes awhile to dry, and make SURE there is no dust or debris, it will show. Material stays on top like paint, doesn't soak in like a dye.

    That depends on the connection style used per kit. Metal axel, shaft on back of wheel hub, protrusion on axel that slips into hub... With say metal axel, you can use round stock or tubing cut to simulate a ..hub..and glue on back of wheel center, drill if necessary. I have (because I am blessed to have a lathe) turn out disc brake rotors with a stub to shove into the axel housing. With protrusions on the axel, you can also kit bash to find wheel backs to fit the axel, and make adjustments as needed. Here's one example..

    There's also these, metal cutting blade available or may come with some. The harbor freight one does. I have used mine even for brass for the slot car chassis.

    I might suggest also covering the surrounding area, but use the same method of spraying to achieve similar/same consistency of metallic. Light coats, build it up.

    A little progress, lots of work... Turned brake rotors and made calipers. A partial mock up...

    Ok, more backpedaling. While fitting the second front clip, realized some how the axel was too far forward. Refitted the whole front axel and repainted the entire chassis to look uniform. Finished one intake so far.

    With all due respect, I don't look at this as a ... score.

    My nephew's father passed away early in January. While cleaning out the house, he found these kits and gave them to me. Thankful for the gift, it makes it special when they are from someone you know.

    These came yesterday

    Well, I thought someone would chime in. I believe there was discussion about his items before, but I could be wrong. A few years ago I had a couple items from him, they were ok. But I read feedback on eBay from other customers, because he casts the Corvette Summer Vette, which I recently purchased, and I must say it's pretty nice. And yes, I posted pics of it on here already. Hope this helps.

    Had/have some back peddling to do, forgot a detail on the firewall, plus tweaking the front clips to fit and tilt. Here's one...
  21. 64SS350
    Maybe reinforce it with some piano wire or ??

    Looks like you were doing too many wheelies! Unfortunately there are so many plastics that can be used in 3D printing, it's sometimes hard to know what you are getting.
  23. 64SS350
    Any dates in mind??
  24. 64SS350
    Those wheels look awesome.
  25. 64SS350
    As requested, everything looks very nice. I feel similar about curbside kits, or low part count kits, but I also bought for the subject matter. It has a detailed engine bay and removable engine plate, so a power plant can be added.
