Nice color combo, very well executed. Can't wait to see it finished1

Check here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=52398&hl=+perry's++resin His products are excellent but the wait times can be extreme. Someone on the board, I believe it's Nick Winters, knows the owner and has helped a few board members with their orders.

Rich, I love the sound of what you have planned. I'm glad it went to a good home and I'll be following along with the build.

Question for kit historians
Dan Helferich replied to pepperdrumstix's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have seen '28/'29 sedans made by using the Revell '31 sedan with the cowl (doors forward) of the Revell '29 pickup. The ones I've seen pictures of look good. -
'69 Camaro convertable up top ?
Dan Helferich replied to Pete L.'s topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Pete, no up top. That's the old MPC kit. The original AMT '67 & '68 had up tops. -
Very nice work Rich. That engine really pops and the interior looks great too!

Monogram '53 Chevy
Dan Helferich replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree with Craig. We need a new tool '53 or '54. They are very popular in full scale. I have 2 friends with '53's. This one's very high on my "frothing at the mouth" for a new tool list. -
The old B&M Hydro decal with the red tranny and the robot. I'd also love to see some Balanger Brothers Headers decals or any other more obscure decals from the era. I can't wait to see what you're working on.

Very nice hot rod. You don't see those hot rodded 4's in scale rods very often.

PBR Charger F/C decals - still available?
Dan Helferich replied to AK_Invader's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Mine are 1/25th. I bought them at a the hobby shop I was part timing at. There is no information on the package so I've never known who's product they were. -
PBR Charger F/C decals - still available?
Dan Helferich replied to AK_Invader's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I was at Martin Dragway years ago when Charlie's chute didn't open. He tried to make the last turn before the sand trap and put the car on it's side. It seemed like it hung there forever before it finally went over. I've got a set I've had a long time and there's no info on the package or the bag. Good luck. -
I'd love to see any '50's BOP or even an early to mid '50's Caddy. Having said that I still would rather have a nice new tool '53 or '54 Chevy. This kit is long overdue. The Monogram kit is caricature like and the Revell kits are not quite stock either. A nice current standard new tool would be a big hit as these cars are very popular in the full size world. Drew, you're one of my favorite modelers but we disagree on '58. To me it was '59 that left me wondering what the heck happened. '59 Fords still leave me cold.

Revell '41/'43 Willys Pickup Gasser
Dan Helferich replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I like the California Lace but it's way out of scale. They were built for the armed forces in '43. Dean Milano did a stock one in U.S. Navy trim back in the '90's. -
Kris's parts are highly recommended.

Gasser over the frame headers..
Dan Helferich replied to progplastic's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Nice headers! And an injected W motor! -

Resin Parts for Monogram Blue Beetle
Dan Helferich replied to Frank's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
It's in the Monogram '29 Model A pickup kit but it has different valve covers and intake/carbs. Replicas and Miniatures casts the heads and script valve covers in resin. The 6x2 manifold and carbs in the Monogram '30 Woody kit could be adapted to the Caddy.- 15 replies

Where are the great Hobby Shops?
Dan Helferich replied to Fender's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree with von Zipper. The Grand Rapids Rider store is something special. Also Walt's Hobbies in Crest Hill IL. is a great family owned shop where the customer comes first. You can't go wrong with either of these! -
Looking for an early Hemi
Dan Helferich replied to 58 Impala's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The AMT '29 Ford roadster kit has one. It's derived from the original Ala Kart kit and still has the Red Ram hemi. -
Scott was a great guy and my friend. We had lots of good times together and I'll miss him. He was in a lot of discomfort the last year or so but still could joke and laugh. He was one of the good guys. Be at peace Scott.

AMT Fred Lorenzen '65 Ford Galaxie 500XL
Dan Helferich replied to mmdm4's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Hi Mark! I think it's going to be the AMT '65 Ford with decals to do the 28 car. The original kit had that car as one of the 3 building options and I believe most of the stock car parts are still on the trees. Fred was my favorite NASCAR driver when I was growing up so I'll be getting one at my favorite hobby shop. -
