  1. only as police type or get a way type cars, but they did use models
  2. actually that one could be a leftover from the 2005 movie, the leftovers from the tv series were already in private ownership by then, the included pic if I remember correctly is how the Charger registry found them before they were sold off, several tv series from the 80s early 90s used leftovers from the show, there's one in a Knight Rider episode and they blow up a Cooter's wrecker in the X files the TV show only wrecked 300 or close to that 68-69 Chargers, which back then wasn't a big deal they were just old cars which they made a great number of and the scrapage rate was very high anyway, I lost count of how many semi rare muscle cars I used to see walking around in scrap yards back in the 80s. what's sad now is the classic cars that are now considered scarce or rare that they are still wrecking for movies
  3. good to know, I've never seen one in person but thought for 9 bucks it might be a starting point, hopefully one of the 3d printer guys will step up and create a good one
  4. guessing you used Paypal or a credit card to pay ?? so just take the steps to obtain a refund and be done with it
  5. here's one and another and another yes there is and have been for some time various grills listed on Ebay, also the 4x4 parts cast by BNL are out there
  6. 20 plus years here and never had a single problem
  7. Hart's Parts right here
  8. Maybe something here would work but I have no idea what Mustang drums should look like
  9. looks great !!! where did you get the soft 8s ??
  10. I've always had lots of project cars and a 1st gen Dakota with a 440 was one that was going on when I first started online many years ago so it just kinda stuck
  11. your always safest using like products or systems but when mixing brands and types I've always have had success using enamel over lacquer, enamel over enamel or lacquer over lacquer but never lacquer over enamel because the solvents that make lacquer dry quicker are chemically hotter, can't say exactly for water based cause I don't use it but guessing it would be safe over any dried/cured primmer
  12. someone else used to cast one of these cabs and interior tubs, not sure if I should name him cause there was a lot of unhappy customers, wondering if this is a rip of that
  13. very nice, where did the wheels/tires come from ?
  14. personally I would do the truck if it is truly rust free otherwise the Newport could be a cool cruiser, didn't you pick up a 66 or 67 Plymouth not that long ago ?? did you ever fool with it ??
  15. the local library here already has a couple for public use, I have no idea what brands/models I've never looked in to using them
  16. Thanks I figured that, guess I should've asked for overall height and width of the tires
  17. Sorry brain is mush right now, have lots going on, so here is the question, Is there a chart that list the heights and widths of the various Fujimi tire and wheel sets ?
  18. I just spent a bunch of time searching the web looking for maybe a chart or detailed listing for the sizes of heights and widths in mm of the various Fujimi wheel sets, I've found a couple sets that I want to order if they are sized correctly for the projects
  19. I would buy it if done correctly simply because of scale, but there is not or will never be a 24/25 scale tri five that I will buy again, been there done all that and its time to move on
  20. I'm thinking that maybe a 1/24 scale NASCAR square G body kit or maybe a 1/24 NASTRUCK kit would be close and can be found dirt cheap
  21. Thanks for the info, didn't know that, I was just passing through DT and seen it, thought maybe I'd try my hand at starting a garage diorama, sounds like it would be better to spend a few bucks and get quality stuff
  22. Don't know if there's something special or different about that brand foam board but if you have Dollar Tree stores near you check there, its a buck a sheet and I think its 20 x 20 size 1/2 thick
  23. yup here's a quick pic from google, who knows why that was done
  24. pretty sure its from the MPC 87 Dodge Daytona mp
