"Holy Grail" Models?
gtx6970 replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Unbuilt mint in original box. Johan 1969 GTX kit. I have a pretty decent builder (2 now actually ) But an unbuilt would be really nice to have. -
looking at it..... I think the skirts are on with minimul giue. So would probably come off without to much fuss. Now. Will I do anything with it ? .....probably not. The other one I have is near mint. Odds are this one will be nothing but trade bait to get something I don't already have.

Well, No luck. Hit the one near me and no luck. I walked all over the store . Did buy 2 cans of paint though. So at least it wasnt a wasted trip

Unknown,, These pics are the ones I got from the seller. And I 'don't think ' I have a 64 Bonneville ow my own , to be honest Ive kind of lost track . Luckily Ive been keeping an excel spread sheet to keep track of what I do and don't have of the ones I want to get.

Also, I did a trade with my extra 1960 Bonneville to get a 2nd Johan 1959 Fury builtup. Although I'm not exactly sure my plans for this one. Might see if the skirts will come off without a fuss and build it stock. Or use it as trade material ( the one I already have is a little better shape than this one )

Wife and I were out of town last week. But the mail man dropped off a few goodies while were away playing in the Arizona desert . A set of Modelhaus resin Howards mag wheels so I can get started on my Sox and Martin 64 Comet,,, sooner than later.

molotow chrome pens - - - choosing a size
gtx6970 replied to peter havriluk's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
For me, I use the 1mm pen 90% of the time. I bought them primarily to do instrument panels steering wheels , door panel details etc etc . I use the 2mm to touch up bumpers and such. Ive not found I need the 4 mm pen yet and doubt I ever will -
Ok, Not seen the car in that color before. Every pic I have on file and have seen in person is the real dark blue car. Carry one. PS, If memory serves me right. The rainbow color hooded car is the Swede Savage car correct ? Solid Blue was Dan Gurneys cars ?

OMG, I hate to hear of this. Hopefully no one was hurt . Cars can be replaced. Life isnt A good friend of mine lost a couple cars due to fire maybe 20 years ago now. It still hurts to think about it

Not to nit pick as I think your doing a bang up job. BUT Are you sure of the color ? TS44 is more like Plymouth Bright Blue poly ( aka B5 ) This car was far darker than B5

whos your fav. mail order supplier
gtx6970 replied to theraif's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The only online retailer I've done business with for models / supplies . If you can call it that is ..ebay. Even at that it's old out of production kits. Although I have bought from Amazon for other things . But not once for anything modeling related I tend to buy local. Or not at all. -
ok. Could be. I'm not up on GM cars very well. I'm petty sure 67 was 1st year for red lines on corvette?. As for Mopar its 1967 . 64 thru 1966 were bluelines or white walls. No redlines. And No red lines avail in 1970

on what ?

Swap meet in Phoenix????? Wish I knew of this sooner than the day before . I'll be in Phoenix tomorrow morning. ,,,about 8 am dang it, I have my doubts wife will let me get away with that though. We pick up the rental car about 8 am and supposed to head to Tucson for a few days to visit family. WIll be back in Glendale Monday nite till thursday nite ( wife has a seminar there for work . And I get to tag along,,,well,,,,just because I can hehe)
-
On a Mopar ? Sorry, But I dis-agree. Redlines were 1967 thru 1969 only Blue lines were 1965 and 66. Raised white letters or white lines were 1970 and later

Post your crazy IMSA cars...
gtx6970 replied to aurfalien's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Closest thing I have ever built to an IMSA car. Did this back early 80s time frame maybe -
Just in case anyone has one of these as a parts kit / doner . I could use the tail lights out of one to fix an old annual convertible I have
