Funny, I was thinkng the same thing. Even if ALL the current manufacturers closed there doors today. Odds are I still have more then I can a build in the time I have left here in anyway. -
Anyone know which is the better or are they the same kit ,,just reboxed ?
-
I like it. I keep thinking I want one of these kits, just never had made the push to find one in 1.25th scale

WOW .......it wouldn't take much imagination to think this is the actual car. Hopefully this thing will be done about the same time I make thew cross country move to Arizona and be able to see it in person. -
Thats an understatement. To you guys that go this far in detail is beyond words to me and my hats off to you all. I simply no longer have the time or patience to do something like this. So I'll just live vicariously thru each of your builds.

Painting side panel badges
gtx6970 replied to foxbat426's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I do mine before ANY paint or primer goes on. Trim as close to the emblem as a I can using my lighted magnifier and a new Xacto blade in my cutter BUT, i use a rattle can almost exclusively so that may be a factor -
Got my grills in a few days ago. preliminary ck out they look perfect Thanks

Ive used Steves method several times with EXCELLANT results And I'll assure you a GOOD lighted magnifier is an absolute must to do it ( at least it is for me ) -
Incredible Motorcycle Story...
gtx6970 replied to Mike999's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Agreed, I would love to do something similar . Only in a vintage convertible / muscle car or something. I would have to be something with 4 wheels. My back/kidneys / knees etc etc would never take weeks on end on just 2 wheels anymore -
I would love to have a kit of one of these cars

I see the model is a Fury 3. Im not 100% positive but I don't think the 426 wedge was avail in anything but a Sport Fury. if thats the case. it would be all engine color anyway ,,,maybe .
-
Steve, I've edited my comment to reflect what I believe to be true. Although I'm not up on these cars as well as I am the 1966 and later cars
-
I am pretty sure chrome was on the 426 wedge engines only, the 383 powered cars have black air cleaner and engine color valve covers
