I know. Plans are: Bonneville, body to remain the way it came. Interior will be blue. The Cadillac repaint the same color as it was, and just clean the interior. The Buick will also be a total repaint body wise, Close to the color that it came to me in. All three will be restored, and placed in my collection..

Very Vintage decal sets question
ranma replied to ranma's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Found out the one with the skull's over the checkered flag is a rare set from a Jo Han kit made in 1960. So I'm thinking that the set with the # 68's maybe either Jo Han ,smp or amt. ones.. -

My gr My grandpa's truck was a custom cab, no side trim , It was red .... simular to the pic but red with white bumpers and grill. Standard dash like the one i posted..
-
I was implying that since the tail gate looks to be for an 80-86 that this might be a sign that the next pickup might be from the early 80's On another note I wish they would have two dash choices for the 65/66 F-100 . This is like the one my grandpa's '65 f-100 had in it.
-
I bought the '65 f-100 long bed kit, it has three tail gates included along with three air cleaners. But the one tail gate look's to be for an '80-86 . Found a pic of a real tail gate via the internet that looks just like the third one in the kit. So maybe an 80-86 F-150????

Hobby Lobby re-opening

After some trial and error I found the best fitting replacement glass for a MPC'68 Impala. MCW (model car world) suggested using the glass from the AMT'67 Impala on their resin bodies. I found that the glass from the Revell '65/66 Impala's work much better, In fact they fit the car without any problem. No cutting to fit like that from the AMT '67. Note: this is for the windshield and rear window's Only the vent window's can be made by hand. This is a true MPC '68 Impala body with the Revell '66 Impala glass put in. which fit the mpc body like the original glass would. Bonus is you get the sun visors and can mount a rearview mirror on it as well.

Hobby Lobby re-opening
ranma replied to Mike999's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Lima Ohio Hobby Lobby Opened Tuesday! I needed some items so I hit there today, and was surprised to find they are selling evergreen products! -
Bought this a few days ago as I wanted one for years. It did need some changes from what MPC put in the box, and those were donated from a AMT '70 Monte Carlo. While the body,chassis,glass, bumper's, wheel's & Tires are MPC. The engine, Heater,Radiator, Master Cylinder and Mirrors all came from the '70 Monte Carlo kit. The engine that MPC put in the kit was shall we say a bit to be desired, and the Fire wall detail along with the radiator were just as bad.
