I have a AMT re-issue of the Double Dragster Kit. It had a Fiat Cuope and a FED. Anyways, I'm building the FED and I noticed there's a horrible sink mark on the back side of the body! In fact, it has a tiny tiny pinhole on the outer wall and is transparent. How can I fill this back in? I need something easy to work with and easily sanded. What can be used and what grits of sandpaper do I need?

I had a another cool movie car Dodge I wanna replicate, Joe Dirt's 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. I read somewhere W-B used a fully restored car for this and added the "white trash" effect to it. What wheels were used and who makes a good gas pedal for a 1:24/25 as seen in the movie car?

Love the setup engine wise and the color! Nice job on that '32 Vicky!

What have y'all used on a GL build. I don't want motion picture quailty, just close enough.

Some say it was GM Corvette Red code 70. Others say it's grabber orange or Big Bad orange. I did see a R-M '69 Charger R/T which is a perfect match. I read that the W-B car team used a few '68's by swapping out the tail light and back panel.I also read a mix of 318's and 383's were used. Keeping the 440 in it.

I do wanna build up a General Lee. I want to use the MPC re-issue for the decals and other Gen Lee specific parts and of course, the cool box art! The car I do wanna use will be a R-M '68 Charger R/T. What shade of the orange/red combo was used? Its not totally orange and been told its has had red mixed in. Finally, what interior color was the car and what shade could be used?Also, did W-B not have any rights to have the name and emblems of the cars becuase I notice the emblem on the trunk, back light and the head cover, they're nothing. I've noticed even on Uncle Jeses's pick up the tailgate letteres were smudged out.

Nice looking model! I like the ways they looked back then. Now they all look the same with just a maker's name on it.

Anyone else watching "Two and a Half Men"?

I just don't like the new episodes. Ashton in real life isn't really like the character protrayed like Charlie Sheen acted the part Charlie Harper. -
Nice work MR. Micheal! Could one be made in 1:87 proportions?

Why not? If ya gonna do something like that, shoulda done a cleaned job of it. If I bought it, it'd look more better! That person has too much junk and too much time! -
Thats a very nice build! Its all era correct too! I always liked that style of gassers of that era. Its so funny now a days how customizers lift a car for big ol' wheels. Back then, it was leveling and for bigger slicks!
-
Mainly a drag racer like old school gassers, altered, T/F's and funny cars. Maybe a few race cars.
-
Is there a such thing as slot car racing in 1;25 scale? Is it a popular enough scale to do this and there any way of getting a hold of things like motors, wheels, tires etc?
-
One wicked paint job man! It could pass for a custom/street race/gasser!
-
Best way is to assemble and dry fit the body and then paint. I assemble the axles and leaf springs,etc.etc. Then I paint it. Speeds up the process.

Thats some good work and DETAILS!!! I even noticed a flywheel.
