Question about Johan Cuda
george 53 replied to edward smith's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Great mods Steve. I used the E/C and chassis,modded of course, to make the chassis's for my 70 and 71 Cuda's. I remembered that Chrysler used the B Body chassis and E/C under the E bodys, so I just did the same thing. Came out pretty good too, just like the big guys! -
lasy Issue of '65 or '66 Mustang Covertible?
george 53 replied to impcon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah,Gary, the original was white. I had a coupla them, and as far as I can see, ALL the parts are interchangeable! About the only thing you MIGHT need to do is trim the windsheild from the rear backlite. Plus you'd get all new chrome for it too. "Cept for the original 65 grille, it should ALL fit, AND look good as new!!!! -
"Jammer Cycle" Salt Flats Streamliner finished photos
george 53 replied to John Teresi's topic in Model Cars
I'm just AMAZED at how you can do this level of detail!!! ALL the pics were doin it for me, but the detail on the embossed material in the cockpit was a wee bit too large.But YEESH John, it really DOES look like it was shrunk down from the real Mc Coy!!!Simply BEAUTIFUL! -
lasy Issue of '65 or '66 Mustang Covertible?
george 53 replied to impcon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Gary, if it's white, it's probably an ORIGINAL body! I remember the FIRST Mustang kits, the 65's at least WERE converts WITH the hardtop as an OPTION. If you can find the 66 reissue, you should have ALL the parts to bring that rascal back!!! -
Question about Johan Cuda
george 53 replied to edward smith's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A member of our Model Club did this SAME conversion on HIS JoHan 71 Cuda. He used the complete e/c AND chassis from the Revell 70 Challenger release. He had to do SOME modifying of the parts, but for the most part, it was pretty easy he said. It CAN be done useing those parts. Hope this helps! -

Revell 69 Charger R/T vs. Revell Pro Modeler 69 Charger R/T
george 53 replied to crowe-t's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The YELLOW one is the mis formed Pro modeler kit! The BLUE one is the CORRECTED version!!! I have them both. Unfortunately, I purchased TWO of the yellow ones when they first came out, and if ONE was a mis formed kit, I just surmised that they BOTH are mis formed kits.I have a CASE of the blue ones as THEY are properly molded. THe only difference is the Hemi Engine in the yellow one,and the Photo Etch parts . The SECOND yellow one, WITHOUT the Revell Monogram printing beneath the Charger R/T call outs is the SECOND release of the Pro-Modeler version, with the CORRECTED body in it! Hope this helps! -
Personally Eric, I think THAT would hit it right on tha head!!!

Wouldn't silly putty be too soft? Does it harden if you leave it out of it's egg? I thought it would just evaporate. Still seems too soft to push an impression into it. But hey that's just my op.

Yeah, Jim I use sprue melted in Testors liquid cement for things like this, But you still have to wait for the"Goop" to dry in the mold. THIS sounds like a MUCH faster way! Thanks Brett, this is a REALLY cool idea!
