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.

I just received some sheets from him about 4-6 weeks ago. The email address on his list is JackKSmith@Comcast.net

In a day?? you sir suck,( jk ) I can't get that much done in a month

That one I would definitely buy several of

Reason, I asked . I bought about 3 or 4 resin sixpack style hoods for use on the AMT duster off ebay last fall. I was told they were drag city castings pieces , Yet I don't see them on his product list. I had already made one for myself when I bought them. so I bought all the seller had listed and just back burnered mine . But I now have more projects in mind that I may need a few more at some point. I might consider sending this one out to be cast but prefer not to if it's still avail I've been working on a couple different hoods and I think they all would sell well if avail.

Well said .

I just saw some resin 8 lug steel wheels on ebay a day or 2 ago

This caster still inbiz ?

Ok, I was rumaging in the parts boxes last night and came across these. bottom right is 1964-65 Race Hemi Mopar only - out of 'I think' an old MPC Charger kit top right is Mopar Nascar ( I think mid 60-s to early 70s era ) out of a Joahn Roadrunner kit 2 on the left , I think are GM, just not sure applications. Are these avail reproduction ? , if not is there an interest in them as such. ? I could use a few more of the Crossram hemi ones is why I ask . and I would donate them to a quality caster if there is..

When it comes to race cars, usually the engine is painted black OR the same color as the chassis it's sitting in

I did one of these kits in this exact same color combo. You will really like the end result.

OH MY God

Keep it up and he'll be master in no time, looks like he's off to a great start. We can't possibily give the younger generation enough praise for there accomlishments. Well done .

I had little interest in using an airbrush. But I needed one for a 1/1 project. So I took a chance and bought one of the cheepies from Harbor Freight, figuring I had very little to loose if it sucked. I was quite surprised on how well it works.

Monogram kits imo are the easist to do for beginners. like the 1971 Cuda or 1970 Challenger T/A another decent one is the Badman 55 chev. ps, my 12 year old daughter built the Polar Lights 65 Dodge with very little help from me, she is/was estatic with it.

Had one, hood was beyond repair it was warped so bad, body was so thick I think it would have needed a grinder to thin it out . sold it and ponied up and bought a builtup original issue. If your patient they can be found reasonably. I have 2 and have less than $100 in both of mine . I have a JF 64 Plymouth sedan body (bought via secondary distributer) and before I buy another I want to see it in person 1st. I know for the price some are willing to work with it, I just would rather pay more to get better. IMO only btw

It's my understanding the AMT boxed 1965 Dodge Coronet kit was actually made by Johan but never sold under the Johan name ? Anyone know for sure ?

I have a couple of his bodies and Yes it is AFXNScale is the manufacturer. No complaints on anything I've bought yet . I have a 68 Dart funny car , 69 and 1970 Firebird funnycar bodies and the sixpack hood for the 69 roadrunner. But like mentioned I think it's a consignment seller. They may lay off a particular item your after for a week or so,,,but just add him to your favorite sellers list and you get emails when they list new items.

Anyone know of any other Chrysler boat kits avail ? then or now , a quality resin version would be ok as well Buddy of mine has an open bow style and he would like a model kit of it . TIA

I'm normally not a big fan of the late 50's cars to much. But I gotta say, WOW, this car just pops in the colors and style it's done in. Just enough added extras to push it over the top. Well done

Very cool. I was thinking about modifying a bench seat from a lindberg 64 dodge kit. Never thought about tape for the texture part of it. I like it ps, there is a real 1967 Plymouth RO car on eBay now .

Very cool, I've got the same thing in my to do pile. What is the bench seat from ?
