I know some of the Fred Cady sheets had them. I just ck'd all mine and I don't have that specific decal ( probably used it already )

Hopefully this is a quality kit can anyone give me some feedback

Agreed, WAAAAAAY to many nice models to only give away a top 10 awards . I know a judge is supposed to be blind to all the aftermkt stuff, but no way can or will a box stock build compete against a scratchbuilt piece. And I saw some extremely nice out of the box kits on the table. Not to mention the customs section was off the hook . Then the section with all the custom painted cars was incredible. The build that took best of show deserved it though

If the car shown earlier is the one I think it is, ( the 2 door hardtop ) It's a clone so using it for actual reference of the original car is questionable . Provided,,,,,, it's the car I seen a few years back at the US Nats

I went, met a couple members, even bought a few pieces. Sorry but I completely forgot I even had my camera with me . I thought it was a pretty good turnout, I would say well over 250 models on the tables. maybe more. My daughter woke up this morning feeling ill . but she wanted to go , sadly we got about 5 miles up the road when she decided we needed to turn back and head home. So I decided to go anyway . I entered a few kits with no real thoughts of winning, . I did enter my daughters 1965 Dodge. And it took best beginner. You should have seen her face when I handed her the trophy when I got home. I made her ( and mine ) day. There was someone there taking pictures for Scale Auto though so maybe ck upcoming issues.

I bought a grille, bumper assy and rear bumper from Kevin at Missing link just maybe 6 - 8 weeks ago. He doesn't have it listed so you have to ask for it specifically.

It's rare I put much than than box contents , so figure maybe kit costs plus $20 I have done some with added detail then I would guess maybe another $20-$30 on top of that, But that build might be 1 out of 20 that go beyond box stock

As a general rule maybe 100 miles is my max I think. even then it has to make sense. A few years back I did the Toldeo show and the . with the contest the next day . That was probably 10 years ago or longer. I plan to to it again this year if finances allow

Its' my understanding this is the same car , just later in life under different ownership. But to be honest I am not 100% sure of this. There seems to be very little info on the car , other than it was handful to drive and went thru dozens of hired guns to drive the thing ( somewhat typical for an altered)

I am just going to use a Johan 1969 AMX body from a Shirley Shahan kit. I've already done a test fit on a Willie Borsch chassis and it's a near perfect fit. The actual car was nothing but an altered under the AMX body Here is an article I found http://home.fuse.net/jallphin/cool-pictures/AMX1UP.jpg

Great, another place I have to start keeping an eye out for model kits Nice save btw

chop chop then, I'll take the 1st set if you want to pm me when there ready. If your are going to do them I'll stop looking and wait for yours done yet ?

Pretty cool ,,,,,, I've always had a soft spot for the IMSA and/or SCCA cars, , I have always wanted to take a hot lap in one to this day

I do like 'some' of there music but never enough of an interest to see them live them or now. Now, as for your avatar, thats a whole different subject. I would have paid dearly to have seen them live. But with Richard Wright's passing thats not going to happen.

I should be there with my 12 year old daughter, it's her 1st ever contest . She wants to show off here Ramchargers 1965 Dodge I'll be in a red shirt with A+M Hightech Automotive on it. I will not be there till maybe 10 / 10-30 or so

My best guess ,,,,,is no. I walked away from actually building for nearly 10 years. and I would still buy something when it caught my eye . I guess thats why I have the stash I have.

There was one but in I think it's 1/43rd scale ? maybe 1/32nd . I have one but don't know where it's at right now . AFAIK, no 1/25th scale was ever avail. if there was, I want one.

AHHHHHH ,,,, you funny guy

Agreed This is just the visible end of one shelf , I have 4 shelves same size and depth ( 3 kits deep ) but this is just the Johan stack. Yeah, I have a problem

whats taking so long. Not like you got anything else to do right ? lol

Thanks , will do . He has an Ebay store ( website is gone )

I know I've seen it somewhere,,,,, but can't remember where to save my butt. I've looked all over Slixx's website and found nuttin that even comes close. I sent them an email , so only time will tell I've been all thru Altered States, Slixx, Speedcity Resin, Whoppiecat, Special Appearence , Jack Smith decals and come up blank on them all Any others ?

Another alternative is thin beading wire, used to string beads for necklaces. I found it in the jewelry aisle at Hobby Lobby. It's a little stiffer than thin solder would be. It's what I used on these custom door panels: Excellant idea, plus it can be bought in several sizes / gauges

The pictures I posted are on a MPC 1970 Charger I did many years ago and they have a very thin chrome band on the door panels , thus what I was trying to replicate . Doing something that thin with BMF was not going to happen. I bent it after paint when I realized the BMF wasn't going to have the results I wanted . I never thought about doing it pre-paint but that would work as well ( maybe better ) and I've never seen solder that thin I stumbed onto it when I was on a lunch break one day with a buddy of mine when we stoped in so he could buy new strings for his guitar. As soon as I saw them I thought of park brake cables for models . plus they're avail in various sizes .

paint in flat then rub your finger over it,your body oils adds a slight sheen to it
