  6. Nick, is you fury a cab on chassis design???? I thought ALL those cars were unibody! This is the FIRST time I've ever seen one of these rascals being restored. Your doin good so far daddy-O. The REAL bite is puttin it all back together!
  7. I like it! Hits close ta home! I HAD a 69 B in that color green! 440 automatic. VERY nice car.
  8. Well, I tell ya this much, it's LIGHT YEARS BETTER than ANY 62 vette out there now! And i liked the die cast version, it's a VERY nice kit,even if it is die cast!
  9. Yeah,Jeff I COULD, but I got me an extra bed an i do NOT mind cuttin on plastic! 'sides I'mma cheepestake an I don wanna pay the 12 bucks!
  10. I don't honestly know Casey. It was just painted gloss black and it LOOKED to be brushed on, or sprayed on AWFULLY THICK!
  11. Ok guys, I saw how one of our brothers shortened a full size Chevy pick-up bed to a short bed, and now i was wondering where to make the cuts to make a full sized Dodge bed into a short bed. anyone know the proper dimensions or can tell me where to cut it to make one? I only got ONE extra bed, an I DON'T want to screw it up! ANY help is GREATLY appericiated!!!
  12. AND the three different style hemis will NOT interchange with one another,but they're STILL all Hemi's!
  13. Kris sells the Accel Super Coils, with the yellow bodies an tan tops an they are tha MOOK!!! you WON'T find nicer ones from ANYONE!!!!!(They even come with the Accel Decal!!!!)
  14. WElp, I tried the ol Pine Sol trick an danged if it didn't work GREAT! I don't know if it makes a difference,Casey, but i used the new improved LEMON scented stuff. I gotta admit it sat in it for the last two days an it wrinkled up the paint and it just came rollin off! Hopefully, it din't seem to hurt the plastic or mess it up in any way. Now it's nice an clean!Maybe the newer plastic is a different "recipe" than the older MPC plastic, cause it seems ok. Thanks guys for ALL the help, and to Tulio for the Pine Sol tip!
  15. And tapeing and painting and painting and tapeing and then MORE tapeing and painting....... Looks GREAT! You have some for real tapeing and painting an..... talents! GREAT joB!!!!
  16. WHAT kit comes with Wrinkle walled slicks???? I remember back in tha day,AMT had PLASTIC 2 peice WW slicks but I haven't seen a set of them in a NEW kit in decades! There's a R/M kit that comes with them?????
  17. Never sold there, heard TOO many stories about how they charge sellers for EVERYTHING! i do and have purchased some rare kits from them though, that's where i got my 70 and 71 MPC cudas. NOT cheap mind you, but WHERE ELSE you gonna find 40 year old unbuilt kits?
  18. Well actually this is painted in a gloss, but i've found that black prime is EXTREMELY resistant to ALOT of strippers, but i'mma gonna try the sanding trick an dunk it again! Thanks!
  19. He means theres no radiator, but that's OK, caz you probably just drive it REALLY fast an it don't have time to overheat! GREAT job Niko, it looks fantastic!!!!!
  20. Well if you saw it, chances are they did! I've seen long beds from Chevy for years. they are usually 8 foot beds and the short beds are 6 ft.
  21. one of my FAVORITE Mopars! And you can actually see your reflection in the carb air horns! Too cool!
  22. WoW! Looks ALOT better in prime then that ugly green color! it's lookin pretty good!
  23. Thanks Rob. I was told Pine sol might work also, so, maybe I'll take your advice an sand it down and soak it in Pine Sol.
  24. not ANY paint,Mark, BLACK paint. Did it work for you with BLACK paint? I've got 3 extra bottles of PP, the ORIGINAL stuff an it din't do jack!!!! It IS makein me a BIT crazier!!!
  25. The title says it all guys, I've left a 71 Challenger interior in Simple green, and the purple pond with no results and now it's soakin in 91% alcohol. If this doesn't work what will? I've found black paint, Gloss OR prime will not come off with the usual stuff(Easy off, PP,Simple Green) Whats in this stuff that makes it so hard to remove? I've got some "easy lift off" paint remover for model trains, so that's the next shot.Anyone gotta sure fire cure for removeing black paint????
