AMT '69 Galaxie BOSS 429 ...accurate?
george 53 replied to ZIL 111V's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ok Paul, I just went and checked, and that kit DOESN'T come with a Boss 429. It has a 427 SOHC engine in it. The 70 Galaxie by Model King comes with a Boss 429 and it looks ok to me. The old MPC kits had a pretty good lookin Boss 429 engine in their Ford or Mercury kits. look in the old Street Cat mercury Cougar kits for a nice one. As far as the 427 SOHC engines are concerned, they are a completely different animal from a Boss 429. NO parts are interchangeable. But like I always say, It's just PLASTIC, an you can do ANYTHING you want with it! -
Duhhh ISN'T the new Bel Aire kit popped off the B/W 210 mold? If ya want a 210 why not just but the Black Widow? I doesn't have the Bel Aire trim to begin with.

AMT '69 Galaxie BOSS 429 ...accurate?
george 53 replied to ZIL 111V's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Paul, depends on watcha mean by "accurate" Do they LOOK like Boss 429 Valve covers? Yeah, I'd say so, but they're LARGER than the ones that came with the engines in JoHans old Comet/Maverick Pro stockers. They look ok when compared to the ones from the old MPC kits. I guess it's just a matter of personal prefrence, but they look ok to me. -

george 53 replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I heard about that on this mornin's news,Joe. Didja FEEL it? About 10 years ago, they SAY there was one down in OHIO somewheres, that we got residual vibes from it. But I live off a MAIN drag where them dam double botton twin trailered trucks drive on EVERYDAY. Shoot ANYTIME on of them big ol HEAVY bastiges go by our whole house shakes! Wouldn't know a quake if i DID feel it!!! -
Gregg Went Off The Deep End
george 53 replied to Gregg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Pat, I'd call a staff meeting to discuss the inequities of the situation and try to find a fix that is agreeable to all involved parties! (and DON'T settle for a skateboard, OR a Fiesta!!!! ) -
Anyone know anything about Chrome-Cast Resin?
george 53 replied to Monty's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Scale Auto Enthusiast's Annual April Fools issue. Back when Gary Schmidt used to own it. He and his crew would come up with crazy gags every April. You guys remember the "Spray Away 2000" spray that would turn your model bodies CLEAR? they used an old clear MPC GTO stock car body to help with the gag. "Just spray it on" and the body turns CLEAR! I used to LOVE it back then! Now I get it just cause it's still being printed. It's lost ALL it's "For Modelers, By Modelers" qualities for me. I miss the old Car Modeler series too. Kalmbach just got rid of that one an butchered up SAE while they were at it.
