  1. R&R did a 68 Buick Skylark GS. I have one. But with Ray's passing, I don't believe there is another caster who does one. I could be wrong, hopefully.
  2. Those, AND the Cragar S/S wheels from the 66 Nova are the nicest Cragars out there!!!!
  3. Nuttin but da BEST from these guys!!!!!
  4. After 50 years of doin this, its ONLY PLASTIC! If your starting out, it can be a problem to get it right, but if ya stay with it, you'll improve. If you DON'T, let it go, modeling ISN'T for EVERYBODY! That's why they have die cast. If you ENJOY workin with plastic, stick with it, you'll get better, I PROMISE! Just do YOUR thing, don't worry bout the other guy and ENJOY yourself. Itsa HOBBY, NOT a calling!
  5. Do ANY of you guys REALLY cast? I use talcum powder an most of my open faced molds AND 2 piece molds. I've NEVER had any problem with it, I use Smooth On 300 thru 305 and its NEVER left ANY impressions. I use a spray release on the OLDER more tired molds but I STILL powder them with NO problems. What resin /Mold making products are you using? Been workin with Smooth On for over 5 months now with NO problems at all.
  6. THAT is a beautiful job you've done on this! We used to build these cars in my plant(Fisher Body/Fleetwood)and I sure do remember them! GREAT job!
  7. Al, I have BOTH an unbuilt AMT 65 Doge kit AND the Polar Lights kit, and the parts INTERCHANGE! So, I don't know WHAT the "Experts" say, they're pert near the same to me.
  8. Clio? your a bit North of us here in the Deeetroy area. BUT, IF you EVER get down around Dearborn, On the THIRD FRIDAY of EVERY MONTH, PLEASE feel free to stop into the DISC on Ford Rd,(after 7 pm.) and look us up! we're the Downriver Model Car Club, we're over 80 strong, and we have a BLAST! This is your open invite!
  9. So Cuzzin Al stil hasn't showed his mug yet????? I hope he's OK
  10. I have it, its a Missing Link kit and if you NEVER have purchased one you'll LOVE IT! Its molded on a plastic like RESIN, so if your useing a donor kit, MARK the parts on the inside so you DON'T mix them up! Glue won't have ANY affect on the resin. BNuy the kit and ENJOY it with GUSTO, I have at least 7 missing link kits and they PEREFCT!!!
  11. Model Cave, In Ypsilanti(?) Mich, has it. I just got 4 bottles from John. He has it in stock. PLUS itsa GREAT shop to visit.
  12. Bill, try this guy, hes an E-bay seller who sells this stuff in his store. It's where i got mine, he on E-Bay as rdsxfan2. I think I paid like 12 bucks for the grille, rear tailights an bumper and rear trunk panel.
  13. MPC NEVER HAS offered an 80's ROADRUNNER. There WERE NO 80 Roadrunners, they died in 76 or so.
  14. Saw these cars new in the showroom! This one is beautiful!!!!
  15. WOW X 2!!!!!
  16. I use SBC headers on my Mopar LA, R/RB blocks you can't tell the difference.
  17. DUUUuuyyyyyhhh, I think I'll be there!
  18. Gonna look GREAT in that color! But paint it black first to cover that red molded plastic, so it won't bleed thru your first prime coats of color. The black will seal the red in.
  19. Are you MARRIED? Seems like ALOT of stuff for a woman to tolerate! To ME, its BEAUTIFUL, but I KNOW most wimmins would just roll their eyes at THAT much "Junk Cars" It looks GREAT!!!!!
  20. There are TWO 68 Elco kits. The STOCK one and the Street custom one. The intake you want info on if from the street custom kit. Hth.
  21. Yeah, it sucks, but it's SPOSED too! You CAN'T take it seriously, it was done as a lark and a way for RR to get some bucks up for "Machete Kills" ANOTHER trashy blood an guts flick!
  22. You CAN convert it back to stock wheelbase. It's not that hard. You can mod the AWB interior back to a stock WB also. The hardest part will be finding a STOCK dashboard! I got lucky an one of the guys here helped me out. The rear tailights are different on the AWB body than what this car has. This was I believe a Tempest, while the AWB body is a LeMans. This one you've shown us Has the twin "Over/under' style. The AWB 's body has horizontal lights about even with the lower of the two over under lights.
  23. Came out GREAT, Nick! What color is that?
  24. Hey, I got it right, and you can't prove I cheated, so if you DON'T want me to play just say it. I don't care anymore. You take it out on ME because YOU got yelled at? Not MY fault, nor do I care,
