oldcarfan Posted November 26, 2023 Posted November 26, 2023 No picture as I've got it soaking in Purple Cleaner, but I bought a glue bomb Revell Audi R8 a while back. Whoever built used probably a tube and a half of citrus glue. This one is going to take a lot of patience. The smell brought back a lot of memories of me as a kid in my room putting together whatever kits I got for Christmas!
TarheelRick Posted November 26, 2023 Posted November 26, 2023 I picked up a couple of fairly nice original Fords at an auction. The '61 Starliner is in pretty good shape so I may just clean it up a bit, do some detail paint in the interior, clear and polish the outside and keep it as a survivor. The '64 Galaxie didn't get along very well with the wheels/tires. I have a Texas 3D 2X4 SOHC and some 9.5" slicks that will turn this one into a fictitious B/FX drag car with working lights. The kit has all the parts for this option and they have never been installed. 1
1930fordpickup Posted November 26, 2023 Posted November 26, 2023 Nice pair of Ford full size cars there Rick.
Bullybeef Posted December 2, 2023 Posted December 2, 2023 While harvesting some useable parts from my parts bin I came across this beaut. Olds rocket engine from the revel Thames gasser. I’ll accept the challenge and see if I can pick away the glue and save this engine. I’ve got nothing better to do today than watch paint dry lol 1 1

slusher Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 Break out some nail files, I am curios what the block would look like after sanding..
Keef Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 Can’t remember if I posted these before or not but I got these at a local collectibles shop for next to nothing.

Expand I have much finer tools than that, giving it a little overnight soak in the purple pond, I’ve found that sometimes it will weaken old tube cement. 2
bobss396 Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 I have a guy in the club that buys up collections. He just got one in from a man who passed away, 2 bin boxes of built-ups. Not glue bombs, most are nicely built. He sells them at shows and does well with them.

Bullybeef Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 Still a little more file and pick work, but I think this is a save for now! 3

redscampi Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 This poor Taxi may have hauled it's last passenger. I got this in a trade and I am glad to have it to try to harvest parts. While I do like trying to save kits, this one is more glue than plastic. Things have been welded together with prejudice! 1
