I'll have to snap off a few pictures . But my case is about 5' tall, 4' wide with 2 sliding glass doors. It's not 100% dust free but it keeps them reasonably clean. My pop made for me about 5 - 6 years ago . And its full,,,,I need more room and might have to look into these Ikea cases when I get the downstairs family room finished

Thanks, I didn't think about that one. I pulled one off the shelf and took a look, and I don't care much for it . I am going to strip the plating off of the one in the Ramcharger FED kit and see what it looks like unplated before I decide to make my own from scratch or not to send off to be copied . Thanks, I surely appreciate the offer. I have the one from the Ramcharger car, it it doesn't work as like I want it to . I'll be in touch

I just stumbled onto this build. I really need to ck this section out more often. OMG, Absolutly killer build. I remember seeing this car run back in the day.

Thanks all. I relayed all this info to the potential client and he's decide to kill the project. I told him of the costs involved 'just in purchasing' several long out of production kits was enough to make him cringe. I liked the idea and told him it would take a considerable amount of time,,,, i just wasn't sure of the kit availability ( I'm not a corvette fan per say) I am going to look for 1959 Vette kit to do for myself though ( year I was born )

I liked that , thanks for posting this it was definitely a different world back then .

Thanks for the info. And sorry for the slight hijack I guess I on the hunt for another kit for the closet

On any white int car the dash frame, dash pad and steering column will always be black 1971- 1974 the rim of the tuff stuff wheel is black , regardless of interior color. The white int in 1971 is a fairly bright white, not a cream color The creamy off white/ bleached tan looking int colors came out approx 1973 or 74 time frame as an fyi, there were some tuff stuff steering wheels where the rim is colored to the int, but those came out about 1978 or 1979 time frame here's a bit of trivia, the black interior on a 1971 duster,,,,, it's not black. It's actually a 2 toned dark charcoal colors with the outer sections of the seats are darker than the center sections

Speed City and Competition resin doesn't have it , just looked around on Altered States site, and don't see one there either EDIT found one in the Ramchargers dragster kit that will work just fine

I have it in 1/25th scale , personally I never got into the larger scale stuff much .

My all time favorite Vette,,so I'm in. Is the SMP kit the only way to get a nice representation of a 1959 Corvette. ? I want one for myself but all I keep seeing are the AMT car but fear they are all the one with the to small headlights .

Can you post up a picture of it ? This might be something that needs to be resin cast I didn't think about the Ramchargers FED, but it's a blown car. And I've done some digging this morning, apparently not all of the hilborn injected cars used a cam driven fuel pump. seems some( Dave Strickler car as an example) used a belt driven pump mounted like a power steering pump. The one I'm after looks like so ;

On a 426 Hemi thats running a Hilborn fuel injection system, there should be an aluminum ft timing cover. ribbed if I remember right . Is this cover avail in any particular kit ? Or am I going to have to make it from scratch ?

mine is an L shape - 8' long over all. 4' wide on one end and 2' wide on the smaller end ,, the wide end is 4' by 2' so that makes the thin end 6' by 2' basically I needed a 6' by 2' piece of plywood so I just took the rest and made an L shaped work bench out of it . all sitting approx 4' up on a wooden frame ACTUAL work area is approx 18" by 18" , ,,,,,,,,time for a cleanup and re-organize. Prior to and shortly after my wife and I were 1st married, I worked at the kitchen table or a small desk in the bedroom. wasn't long after that I moved to a slightly bigger desk in the spare bedroom, then same bench in a corner of the downstairs family room of our first house . NOW, I have the big bench in a bigger house . Funny things is I always seem to end up with about the same size work area

I have a built up of a 1968 Chevrolet fleet-side that I am going to convert to a ramp bed hauler (someday ) These trucks can bring some pretty crazy money,, why I simply don't understand. Something tells me the tooling style exists and deep down my gut says if the Moebius Ford does well I would not be surprised to see the Chevy re-appear in some form

It's tomorrow .

I've bought maybe a half dozen items from Motor City, from a simple grille to whole bodies . not one complaint with any of them

Glad it's not just me this happens to looks good so far

Very good looking build. Love it, I've built 4 of the lindberg Dodges so far, And I've got another 8-9 on the shelf so I might be slightly biased

AFXnScale is the manufacture , just sold thru a secondary outlet

Right now it's just a dream 'IF ' it could even be done. Costs will become an issue and may very well kill the idea before it even gets off the ground. I didn't think the early to mid 70s cars was readily avail, and already forewarned him as such . It's the 63 to 67 cars I had no idea of

same here, Unless I stumble across something that pops my buttons, I usually look more for reference pictures . I've already got more models than I will probably ever build

OK, I've been asked recently what it would take to build every year corvette from 1953 to 1982 ? He's asked to keep them all in same scale sizes so mixing scale will kill the project Fill me in, is this even feasible without dropping huge coin on long out of production kits ? Keep in mind, the Owner isn't after 100% accuracy just a nice display for his man cave / office shelf ( he has nice collection the garage of 1/1's already , just not every year) If I get to do this they have to be able to represent OE stock looking cars right down to the stock hubcaps

My eBay purchase finally showed up. back in early Jan I bought a MCW 1965 Plymouth AFX altered wheelbase kit for a future build. it just showed up friday after some threatening

Did the 70's funnycars use a lenco.? I think they either used an automatic or a direct drive

Thanks fellas, The one piece I have looks and actually fits great. I just don't want to step on anyones toes in having a copy of mine done. So mine I may just keep and use it myself. I do have 2 other hoods in the works for later projects.
