gtx6970

Nice, very nice. I used to work at a Firestone tire store back in the early 80s and a lady used to come in all the time for service work driving one of these . She had bought it new and drove the snot out of it . Last time I remember seeing it was maybe 1985 and it was looking kind of rough. But ran REAL GOOD

Looks like enamel clear over lacquer base coat ? or mixing different base coats with another manufacturers clear ?

When ??????? I had a feeling the next version would be this car or maybe the Sox and Martin sedan

I've been working on a list of parts and pieces I will need in the future for the past few weeks . Once they re-open ( think / hope they will ) I will hit submit and wait. These are all older annuals . So I am in NO hurry to get them,,,but I want to get the parts while I can .

After some more digging. I figured out the truck I want to replicate is actually a 1971, So while I was out this afternoon. Hit my local hobby shop and snagged the only one he had on the shelf . Now, I need to find the wheels / hubcaps and a camper shell to fit it

I LIKE IT , I LIKE IT A LOT I've been wanting one of these strictly because I think the lace decals are cool

I got 5 sheets directly from BMF ,in Oct of 2015 I just opened and ck'd all 5 , no marks on any of them

I see the 1970 that's coming is a short bed. What other version do I , or will I need to do a 1970 long bed ? I want to do the truck used in Funnycar summer , I think its a 1970 Long bed F250 camper special with a low profile camper shell on it Is there a source for the 8 lug 16.5 wheels and tires and the small hubcaps How about the camper cap

I buy it straight from them manufacturer, that way I feel is the best chance I have of getting it fresh and as new as possible.

Hobby Lobby carries it, and the replacement blades. I just picked up a new one at my local HL last weekend.

Outstanding , especially the color . I built one of these as a kid ( many moons ago ) and I keep thinking I want to try one again as an adult.

The blade on mine does NOT swivel . Will see if I can find picture This one http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-ACTO-Retractable-Blade-Knife-carded-/191809843412?hash=item2ca8c1f0d4:g:RNkAAOSwWTRWx5ha

My wife has no qualms with my modeling or the stash . And as long as family wants/needs don't go unattended ....I can spend pretty much what I want,,when I want . She and my girls are the same way , be it shoes , clothes , purses or ???????? But I do have a conscience so I don't get stupid with what or how much I buy . I go thru phases where I work like crazy on models for a while, then I may not touch them for weeks or months .

Thanks, The Bob Banning car was just built about 2 years ago. The Soapy Sales car has been done for the better part of 30 years ,,,maybe more. I need to find a partial decal sheet to redo the roof and trunk . The original MPC kit sheet doesn't have enough of to go all the way front to rear like the 1/1

I've seen the remains of the Paul Stefanshys SuperStang car in person,,,very cool car . I'm going to just have to get my butt in gear and get some of the sheets while I can But gotta ask,,,,,, Any chance you could be talked into doing the decals for the Charlie Allen blue 68 Dart AA/FC I have a resin body to do the car and a chassis but no artwork ,, I already have his red / silver car done and the blue / silver one would make a nice pair on the shelf . There was also a 68 SS car with near identical artwork . maybe a 2 in 1 sheet ,,,pretty please ?? How about the 1968 Gene Snow car ?

A few years back there was a 421 wagon at a high end show in Ault park in Cincinnati Ohio. I had heard the owner say it was the only one known to exist ,,If I remember right the car was white with blue interior with no race car markings of any kind . The car had a crowd around it every time I was there to get pics,,so I never took a single one all day . Big mistake as I didn't realize how unique this car was at the time.

I kind of like the looks . Its different . I'd heard these kits were quite the effort to build . But it looks pretty good to me . Might have to up my search efforts

I use an aluminum bodied Xacto retractable cutter pen , the one with the really small blade. And I put a brand new blade in every time before trimming BMF. For me it works better than the larger blades do, as it makes it easier to make turns ,,especially sharp ones. At least if does for me,,,,but everyone is different Just let the weight of the knife do the work and just trace it along the trim to be cut ,,works great for me

If its the gremlin looking thing, I 'm out and not interested. I would be much more interested in the AMX3 show car. Or I think it was the barris built AMX show car would be even better ( for me )

Built and done,,,,maybe 100 give or take a few . Unbuilt last count was almost 400 . Builtups / started on kits maybe another 50 or so . Hard to keep track,,they keep multipling everytime I ck . Just a couple days ago I went looking for a kit I thought I had 3 of yet could only find 2 . I did find a couple I didn't know I had , A builtup original issue 61 Ford convertible and a started on Johan Comet pro stock . I have no idea when or where or how long I've had either one.

I try to support my LHS when ever I can. He's extremely competitive with any online sellers prices by the time you factor in the shipping costs. Sometimes he's even cheaper. He can order anything and usually have it in a few days if its something I want he doesn't have. The only thing I buy on Ebay is vintage kits . But I'll be honest, I can count ALL the currently avail modern kits I've bought the past 2 years ,,on ONE hand . Vintage / obsolete kits,,,is a much MUCH different story .

All new information to me...thanks. But then.....i a am NOT a gm guy by any stretch .

I thought the Revell mustang was a 1/24th scale kit ?

Can color be far behind, I hope not. My popcorn is still all warmed up.
