I foil the emblem before any paint or primer is applied. Trimmed just as close as if your doing it post paint work The once the color coats are on . I take the small Tamiya pointed swabs dipped in lacquer thinner and lightly go over the raised lettering to reveal the foiled emblem . ( I use a lighted magnifier to keep a real close eye on progress ,, a little goes a long way believe me ) Once revealed go over it lightly with nothing but a tissue or similar ( toilet paper as an example ) to bring up the shine . Then clear it all. It sounds SOOOOOO much more difficult than it really is . Ive been told the clear first THEN do the Q tip trick works just as well. Once done the above and your emblems are supposed to be gold tinted ( This Lincoln is an example ) then and only then take a yellow sharpie then lightly go over the foil to tint it yellow/gold .

Looks good. I really like the big cars . And dont be afraid to try the foil before paint trick , Trust me once you do. You will never go back

Agreed, ESPECIALLY the color

Cool group. Love the AMX , Resin body I assume ?

No, Rebuild of an original AMT annual kit And Thanks all for the kind words

Ever have leftover parts and wonder what to do with them? This a trick question ?

I seem to remember this very car was for sale recently ????? And If I remember right, this car was cruising the Indy fairgrounds at the Car Craft Street machine Nats back about 1979 or 80 time frame when I went a couple years in a row with my old 1970 Road Runner If it is, this thing sounded WICKED

Thanks all. The Ford replicates a 1/1 that runs around here during summer months . In regards to a few of the others ,,,I got on a kick to build kits from my yuth ( whats a yuth ? get it ) this year. Hence the reason for the majority shown. Simple and easy. The T-Bolts are probably my favorite kit to build. No muss no fuss . Combined with I simply got tired of decal sheets being stored for far to long. The 1972 Cutlass was a gift for a friend of mine ....he had the 1/1 car and sold it last year. Kind of a condolence prize I guess.

Although a few of these were actually started on back in 2016 . They were finished up over the winter and early spring of 2017 I get essentially zero model bench time in the summer months . So its as much as I can get done ,,,when I can get it done. Nothing to elaborate or over detailed. Actually all are box stock with exception to aftermarket decals of a few .

Not me

Is the Thunderbolt color what your after ? If so maybe try Tamiya ( will update this post when I find the can I used for these ) EDIT, Found it. Tamiya TS11 maroon

Sad day indeed. I met him many years ago. And really enjoyed it . Very humble man . This may be the final push I need to build a few of his cars for my shelf .

Typically I'm not an import car builder. BUT, I have always REALLY liked those cars. I just might have to consider one of these for the stash

I know, But it's the ONLY 57 Chev I have a desire to build in scale

Maybe. I know they did the normal turbo T type ( I have one ) not sure about a GNX though

Not a fan of much from the 80s ... And I'm a diehard Mopar fan .BUT I sure would like to have one of these . Just for chits and giggles . Ive driven one of these and have to say these things will fly in box stock form

In all honesty. I don't have a single 1957 Chev in the stash of any kind. Or a 56 . And the only 55 I have is a Nomad to build the Paul Blevins car and 1 of the Badman re-issues ( already done ) Otherwise I have zero interest to build one I may pick up one someday to do the Hollywood Knights / PHR Project 57 ,,,someday

If it in fact applies to GM cars I have no idea. But I know for a fact Mopars of the same era were grey ,,,EXCEPT LA plant built cars. They were black

Ck out Speed City Resin

Insert a wee bit of sarcasm there. But to the op,. Yep,,,,,, I would dare say 75% of the members here are 'reliving ' there youth

Holy cow, that looks good. If I decide to go resin . I'll look at that ( I would rather not if I can find something in stryene )

A couple set of Hemi carbs and 1 pair of the AVS carbs , plus 3 different kind of mopar wheel covers

I did a bunch of work for a local shop that built a 1971 Challenger convertible for a client a few years back . When I walked in I told shop owner this was the wrong car to be paying someone $65 an hour to have done, ( car was rough and just a 318 2 bbl car ) I'll bet the owner had close to 150K in it when it was all said and done. Car was dang nice, but not $150K nice.

PS - A short stack Weber setup might fit the bill maybe I dont think I have many Ford kits in the stash to rummage thru to find something on hand ( I know the only Cobra I have is the Baldwin Motion kit )

Yes, As soon as I hit submit I knew I spelled it wrong. But I was hoping something was avail . ( Im afraid if I get so far as to scratch build something I'll lose interest quickly ) This would prefer to either buy a kit or parts needed. Im not 100% committed to this EXACT intake setup. Just different
