I removed the decals on a 1971 Duster that had been on there for probably 20 years. I just soaked the body in solvaset and used my fingernail to pick the decals away . NO damage to the finish at all

Same here, built the 55 kit and its a VERY nice kit. I think the only complaint I had is the windsheild just barely fills the opening from the inside . so be very aware of how or what you use to set the glass ps, i like the color you have on it

A 1958 seems to be one tough cookie to come up with,,, reasonably. I looked for nearly a year before I got one in my budget. ( mine is a convertible ) I have an extra vert body if someone needs it,,,but its been pretty heavily modified . and I think its to far gone to build anything close to OE stock

Hemi valve cover colours ?
gtx6970 replied to 72 Charger's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
All street Hemi cars were black valve covers. Not 100% certain but I think the only factory installed chrome valve covers were 64-65 Race hemi cars Now, that said . it wouldnt be all that uncommon for Race cars to have there valve covers chromed,,,as it was a popular thing to do back then . And in every underhood picture of a S+M car I have ,,its chrome valve covers.. So chances even though the S+M bird started life as a Street Hemi car with black valve covers. My money is on it had chrome -

58 conversion for Revell 57 Ford Del Rio wagon
gtx6970 replied to realgone58's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Agreed, But a clean builder 58 is TOUGH to come up with,,,,, in either form. I looked for nearly a year before I got one,,,,and it still cost me over $50 with a heavily customized body Luckily our resident annuals builder guru ( aka StevenGuthmiller ) gave me a body to fix the one I got -
Fantastic, But my bank account sure wishes you would stop.,,,,,,,,Every time you get one of these old annuals finished It adds another one to my want list

What are your pre-build planning methods?
gtx6970 replied to Jeremy Jon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
What is this thing called Planning you mention.? I see a subject I like ,, then go from there. Which usually means I look for and buy the subject kit,,,, then I see something I like and the process repeats. The problem with this method is nothing gets built ,,,but my stash grows and grows and grows ............. -
Or put a counter sunk machine screw inside the tubing , then mount the tubing in a vice and slowly pressing the screw into the tubing will flare it out,,,,be advised go SLOWLY
