  1. Just out of curiousity , why is the starter trying to stir the oil ? Let's see some more photos so We know what you are up to .
  2. It's not worth that much . I've seen it sell for $55.00 in the past . And the yellow Mustang about the same . If you are not in a hurry , just "save" a search for what you are looking for and check back every few days . Sooner or later you will find one at a decent price . It's the " I gotta have that ! " people you drive the price up .
  3. All things considered , I say it is legit . I have an original MPC '71 Cyclone Spoiler that I bought in 1972 and the shrink wrap looks similar to that Chevelle , except it has shrank a bit and collapsed the top and one side if the box . A kit is only worth what some one is willing to pay , and obviously that Chevelle is considered collectable .
  4. It looks a little darker than Wimbledon White . Try an Almond color used for painting kitchen appliances ( Rustoleum or Krylon ) . My refrigerator and stove look real close .
  5. Nice pictures of a pretty neat old car ! I always wanted this kit growing up , but never bought it because my big brother built one first . Definitely getting one this time .

    62 Belair

    Great looking Belair ! Awesome paint ! And the photography is first class .
  7. Very nice '62 . Interior looks very sharp ! And there ain't no wrinkles in your trim . . . nice work .
  8. That is definetly the BEST looking build of that kit ! Congratulations on a job well done .
  9. Beautiful build by the way ! You should be proud of it .
  10. It's a shame that alot of NASCAR fans don't have any idea who Tim Richmond was . If he had lived he would be in the Hall of Fame now .
  11. Great ! Brought back a lot of memories . BTW , my daily driver until a couple of years ago was a '60 El Camino . Small block , Holley 4-bbl , headers , 4-speed , and Cragars . It was finished in 3 different colors of primer and a rusted out floor . On my way home after work one day , a guy coming the other way turned left like I wasn't there ! I drove that El Camino for almost 20 years and sure do miss it .
  12. Missing Alternator brackets is right up there, but my biggest pet peeve is : Beautifully painted and finished models with tires that look like they came off of a toy car . Nice and shiny , no lettering , and a big mold line down the center of the tread ! Even the ugliest beater looks good with a nice set of aluminum wheels amd some Radial T/A's ! ! I've sold two old cars that way ( of course I get to keep them to be used on my next vehocle ) .
  13. Hi Guys, I'm knew in these parts and I'm not sure what is okay when posting my pictures. I don't want to hijack someones thread , so shoot me if necessary ! This is the finished engine for my Manx . The plug wires are too big a diameter and the valve covers are upside down , but I can live with it . I think I'll paint my buggy orange ! What do you think ?
  14. This is my very first post . I just couldn't resist showing you this picture . Is it real ?
