  1. I might have a spare long ram intake setup. If i do....its yours if you want it Will ck tonight
  2. Tough. Yes. Impossible. No. Ive bought trashed / customized builtups just for the interior. I think i have 2 maybe 3 correct interiors stashed away. Last one i bought cost me maybe $25 give or take. I put the later tub in it and resold the builtup kit for cheap.
  3. Keep in mind, the USA oldies version of the 62 300 has a 65 300 interior tub in it
  4. None on any of mine. 1st make sure decals are dry . put them on a let them sit a few days 2nd the first 2 coats go on kind of light. then let it sit an hour or so ,,then the last one or two get laid on the Vette has maybe 5 or 6 coats on it. All over top of the decals
  5. I personally thing it dries a little shinier than Tamiya clear. All these were shot with it , straight out of the can. with no polishing of any kind
  6. Well, If all goes as planned. it will be this car 1966 Plymouth Satellite , 426 hemi . Factory black exterior with a red interior. bucket seats and console auto. All factory equipment for this car. ( owner upgraded to 15" chrome magnums and radials )
  7. Thanks for that. He had several items I needed
  8. You know I'm not a bug fan of the later sixties big Fords like this . Love the 64 and earlier cars though But WOW you sure have me thinking I need one ,,,,or 3
  9. Selling here or not makes no difference to me or not. But I will say the silence since taking several peoples money for lifetime subscription speaks VOLUMES. ( I was NOT one of them ) I certainly wish him well in this latest adventure. BUT if this goes bad . And I seriously hope it doesnt ,,, It will put a stake thru the heart in the mag without question
  10. Yes, PLEASE. and ANY livery is fine with me .
  11. My plan is thin down to just old annuals and vintage drag cars. Those alone probably amount to over 200 cars, still more than I'll likely finish before I'm breathing dirt. But the rest are going bye bye , piece by piece. I'm in process of buying a rather expensive vintage 1/1 car. that I want to have here by years end. And as such,,, odds are my time at the bench will become even less than it already has the past couple years
  12. I built an AMT 1970 Superbee years ago and used the Monogram wheels and tires and they looked right at home.
  13. Ive already begun the thinning process. I plan to thin at least a few hundred kits out of the pile over the next year ,,or less if I can My wife and daughters have already said they have no interest in the unbuilt stuff.( regardless of age , condition, subject matter or value) Should something happen to me, they would sell the unbuilts and builders and keep the built stuff.
  14. Gee. I wonder what was inside ......
  15. I used to own a GSXR , so this one REALLY caught my attention
  16. Im not a motorcycle guy , or even any kind of Harley fan. But this caught my eye for the simple coolness of it https://www.ebay.com/itm/Maisto-1-24-Harley-Davidson-1936-EL-Knucklehead-Motorcycle-and-1948-Ford-F-1/333180969647
  17. Shame to see such a car in this shape. But I'm afraid this one is well beyond the option to bring it back,,,,,,,, IMO
  18. 32 or 36 car ? The highest I see is a 24 car case. And Ive narrowed it down too probably a 21 car case due to the spacing between shelves. I would like the angled shelves style but the spacing is to narrow for a few of mine .The tallest build I have is right at 3" in height This one https://shop.carneyplastics.com/NASCAR-Diecast-Model-Car-Display-Case-21-Car-124-P446.aspx or this one https://shop.carneyplastics.com/Diecast-Model-Car-Display-Case-21-Car-124-Long-P526.aspx
  19. Your mirror back or clear back. I cant decide which way to go.
  20. Thanks all. I think Im gonna order 3 or 4 of the Carney Cases for the money I think they may be my best option.
  21. Looks like the 1966 convertible kit has wires. but looks like they have a spinner center cap though. Might be a good start though
  22. I tend to dis-agree. for example. Just to put a number on it There are 25 produced / sold , all listed in the auction format. He's done well. And sure enough interest dies off. Add in the mold deteriorates and owner decided not to recast it due to slow down in sales But IMO more can/would be sold if its listed at a far market price . One hit, boom done. My gut tells me quite a few more would get sold. ,,,again IMO only
  23. VERY well said. I tend to agree with both sides here. Its his product to sell in his fashion / method of choice. I tend to avoid auctions per-say. when I do make a bid its either at the last few seconds to keep shill bidders from driving it up in the name of profit. If a last second bid is not feasible. I'll put my max bid in if/ when I can.( typically within the last few hours ) and walk away. If I get it,,,fine, if not ,,also fine. In regards to the subject matter here , Thanks. But It's of zero interest to me at any price
  24. Well, I know of at least one out there that's not factory stock. I was at a Mopar show in Ocala Florida several years back and what pulls in the lot of our hotel. But a really nice looking early 30s Imperial. Memory tells me it was a 32 but i may be off by a year or 2 . Best I remember I think it was a dark red body with a really dark red ,,( ok maybe black ) fenders. Under the hood was a completely stock 426 hemi, auto, and A/C. If you didn't hear it run or happen to see it with the hood opened up. You would never have guess it was anything but oem factory stock. Right down to the wire wheels and wide whitewall tires . It was that cool.
