• Building the Moebius 1965 Chevy II Gasser Test Shot - Progress Report #1 *LINK* *PIC*
  • Thanks Tim, I haven't checked, are you posting this on Fotki as well? *NM*
    • Yes....TIM *NM*
• I was at Toronto Motorsport Park, Cayuga, Ontario yesterday for some racing... *LINK*
• Frank, I was watching a video about drag racing and spotted this car. I figured that you'd probably like it since it's a 1964 Cutlass and it has "the look". ............... *PICS* ..........
  • You're right Scott looks like it might have came from F&M Garage(Frank & Marty)! LOL! *NM*
• In the model show/contest/swap world, what does IPMS mean ? Thanks! *NM*
  • Never mind, I just remembered. *NM*
• So I bought the Atlantis '57 caddy Eldo. It certainly is a different kit. Multi piece body, split horizontally, and a separate top. Think I can build it decently tho. Whose tool was this originally?? Thanks. *NM*
  • Revell--it was introduced about 1958, I think, just as AMT was releasing kits with one-piece bodies. *NM*
    • Yeah, from the early days. Proportional issues, but the only game in town for this car. *NM*
      • For 1/25th scale plastic kits that is. *NM*
      • Somebody speculated about that on another board, but when photos of the kit and the real one were compared...
    • Speaking of multi-piece body kits, I’d like to see the Ford retractable reissued again. *NM*
• Kind of quite tonight. How about some pics?....pics....
  • OK. Here's what I entered in the Louisville show today. ............... *PICS* ..........
• Saw two nice cars on the road today...
• PIF for airbrush people..
  • I'm interested if they will ship -
    • They are yours sir send me an email with your info and I will get them in the mail for you rightaway.... *NM*
  • GREAT colour combination. It will stand out on display tables. *NM*
• Cliff Read's '55 Chevy gasser is on YouTube. *NM* *LINK*
  • Thank you for sharing! *NM*
  • The two of them have amassed quite a collection of "Silk Purses"... *PIC*
  • Beautiful builds by the brothers Read! Now if you liked that one, consider subscribing to the channel. Doug shares some good stuff. *NM*
  • Cliff and Larry enjoy sharing their techniques and ideas as much as they enjoy building the models. *NM*
• YOU GUYS... Remember my trip to the LHS the other day and not leaving there without spending money keeping hobby store in business. Well it's DONE, DONE. I've got the McEwen car done so just a quickie and going to next generation of racers. PIX and thanks for looking
  • Came out great, neat concept! *NM*
  • That turned out great! Can't wait to see the next ones. *NM*
  • You're the MAN Frank!! *NM*
  • Like I said Frank that is NICE *NM*
• I have few questions for all of you who attend your local Good Guys model contests. Especially those that are in charge. How many total model are entered, average. Then how many of those are entered my the local model car club members. Of course that leaves
  • Pretty much the same in PA. It is more for the people to see another aspect of the hobby of automobiles in my opinion. *NM*
  • When it comes to cars, most non modelers think they are diecast. That is very common. (probably not for scifi and airplane builders I would say though LOL ) *NM*
  • I don't know about that but I have had people think they are complimenting me by saying my models "look just like a diecast". *NM*
  • I'm not in charge of anything but...
  • and I bet you guys had an exciting afternoon!!! *BOOM* *NM*
• For those that may not have seen/heard- The Mad Ma Fury Road cars are up for auction ! :^) *NM* *LINK*
• Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • What is this car? A European one-off or concept or ??? *NM* *PIC*
    • In the '50s Chrysler was toying with making a Thunderbird/Corvette competitor. This is a Chrysler concept car. They used Ghia for the design on many of them. Sorry I can't recall the name of this one. *NM*
      • DeSoto Adventurer Ghia. *NM*
  • Fastback 'Cuda!? Say what!?! *NM* *PIC*
    • Crazy, isn't it? It's either a good photoshop job or smebody did some cool customizing. I don't know! *NM*
      • MAN! I'm thinking that is so doable for scale. *NM*
    • I noticed this one too. Looks like someone married a 1969-79 Mustang rear window and sheet metal to a restored 1970 'cuda AAR....and did a very convincing job. Interesting... if this was a real car, I think it would have already been seen in the mags. So maybe it is...
      • Definitely Photoshop. Kinda cool tho. *NM*
        • X2 *NM*
      • I think photoshop as well. The trunk lid opening is clearly defined at the rear but disappears in front of the spoiler. Amazing photoshop work, regardless, and definitely doable in scale. *NM*
      • I found the original pic. ,, Glass doesn't look like Mustang, the corners on a Mustang are square. I'm thinking Charger Daytona or Superbird. *NM* *PIC*
        • From the reflections on the rear glass and the exagerated quarter windows, it looks like they used photoshop to stretch the rear of the roof. The panel below the rear glass has the same reflections in both photos. *NM*
          • I think you're right Mark. The stainless trim at the top and bottom of the window also looks the same. *NM*
  • Thank you for sharing the PICS! *NM*
  • That 70 Superbee is much like the one my brother had that made me a Chrysler fan. *NM*
  • Re: Those '61 Plymouths and Dodges are hard for me to like as far as styling. Thanks for the pics Bill. *NM*
• I've been working to reduce the size of my collection (I'll never get to all of them) but occasionally I open boxes and find things that should be addressed. *PIC*
  • So, that's where that car was. ;-) *NM*
  • Those decals look familiar! *NM*
  • "Car 54 where are you???" *NM*
  • Yeah, definitely those two! *NM*
  • Something about early 60s Mopar police vehicles... *NM*
  • WOW!! *NM*
• Friday Evening Randomness..... Enjoy!!! *PICS*
  • Great stuff! Love the 60 Chevy wagon and the Toronado stretch...Thanks *NM*
  • Thanks Marty. That Hornet is TUFF !! *NM*
  • Re: As always, a great selection of pics tonight Marty and thanks. *NM*
  • Great pics as always Marty, thanks. *NM*
  • A kit of the Cord would be nice......and not real sure about the poor Toronado....lol. *NM*
  • Great pics Marty, love the longroofs! But that white convertible vehicle with the orange fender stripes is the greatest ruination of the first gen Camaro I've ever seen! Yuk, LOL! *NM*
  • That poor ‘68 Camaro convertible...ugh! *NM*
  • Thanks Marty!! *NM*
• Earlier this year, actually I think it was December 2020, when I finally had time again to do some modelling I was thinking about which kit I was going to build next. More Inside....
  • Those older coach built cars were so majestic...Thanks for sharing my friend. *NM*
  • Nice work mate!.........you forgot the include the Packard in the polished plastic list, I've the same kit looking identical to yours, I wish that Revell/Monogram,Heller,etc would reissue their 30's classics but I suppose they have a limited market. *NM*
    • I did not include them in the list of polished plastic because both Packards are brush painted. I didn't like the color of the plastic. *NM*
      • I meant that the Packard Boattail is still the molded plastic body & fenders as I have the same kit & just painted the belt line molding the dark brown......but all good, nice work either way. *NM*
  • My stand up show cases are not dustproof either. That's why every model inside the standup show cases are also in one of the AMT/Round 2 clear plastic show cases. *NM*
    • Dave, have you considered doors of plexi?" *NM*
      • Here's a (poor) pic of the case that I built. All of the 'glass' is plexi. I wanted glass but it would have more than doubled the price of the project. I guess I'm not a cabinet maker. *NM* *PIC*
  • What a great bunch of old classics..... I really like the '32 Renault Vivastella PG7 Cabriolet... Who offered that kit? *NM*
    • It is a Heller kit. Nice subject, but I wish they hadn't molded the body in two halves (split right down the centre of the car). *NM*
  • Small correction: That first Bugatti picture is a Type 55, not a Type 35. Beautiful work! *NM*
    • Classic example of a typo in the type! You're right, ofcourse it's a 55. *NM*
  • Anthony...........check your emails.....lol. *NM*
  • I still love models like these and have been inspired by your work *NM*
  • What a great collection of builds!! *NM*
• The moment you've been waiting for....an in-depth look at a test shot of a model kit that will be debuting for sale early next year... *LINK* *PIC*
  • I can see that Moebius will be getting a lot of my money next year!!!! *NM*
  • So, this is pretty neat. Someone could use he six from the AMT 63 Nova kit and the guts from the 64 Nova kit to make a stock 65 Chevy II 100! Of course have to find some 13 inch tires and rims plus the poverty caps for it, but it would be doable. (Tires and rims from some
    • IMO the only really missed opportunity of the new tool 1963 wagon was not having done the Nova side trim separately, for a custom look or fleet-spec 100 wagon. *NM*
      • There is always sandpaper... *NM*
    • Or, they could offer a stock ‘65 Chevy II 100 sedan release. Some people like to build them stock too! *NM*
      • Apparently there are additional releases planned from this kit tooling. I don't know all of them, and your idea is not what I have heard (so far), but personally I wouldn't put your idea beyond the possibility of eventually happening at some point....TIM *NM*
        • I'd be very surprised if that wasn't in the picture, same as the Plymouth Belveys
  • Glad that is getting close. I am looking fwd to your build! And based on R2/AMT’s habit of releasing the closest kit they have whenever another kit company introduces something new, my guess is the AMT Chevy II AWB will be re-released fairly soon. *NM*
  • Well how 'bout that!!! I suspected that this was the test shot you were alluding to in your teaser last weekend... I had heard whispers that the kit would be available soon... I will be watching this series with great interest! *NM*
  • Thanks for that preview! That's a nice looking kit and I agree with you about the lowered roof. It is definitely lower than stock. Why can't companies in the business of producing models of actual cars not get the right specs for them? *NM*
    • I thought the original test shot images I saw had a lowered roof. Changes were apparently done and the version they sent me already had the changes. I think that filing down the belt molding (the piece of trim engraved at the top of the door and side window moldings)....
      • Did they fix the shallow lower body tuck under that you noted in the review as well? Having to glue the lower body section to the chassis to pull it in seems like a clunky solution IMO. *NM*
        • Turns out it does not need to be fixed. When assembled, the parts fit perfectly and the tuck under appears very correct to my eye. I think this will become evident as you see the build progress....thx for asking...TIM *NM*
          • Good to know…thanks Tim! *NM*
      • What changes were made Tim? *NM*
  • Thank you Tim! Reviews sell kits and avoid disappointments *NM*
  • Tim, when you get a chance, can you measure the window height and compare it to a real one?
    • Dave, personally I am not a fan of measuring kits and then comparing them to photos of real cars. Having looked again at the images, I think the reflections off the unpainted styrene may be giving a false impression of the kit greenhouse. Also, Moebius factored in the ...
  • Nice looking kit but I never understand why all model companies have chrome plated blowers. *NM*
    • Because a lot of tea life blowers are polished and chrome plating is the closest model companies can come to that look. *NM*
      • "real life" dang that auto correct on the tablet! *NM*
    • Fair comment but for some of us its easier to just paint over chromed parts than try and replicate chrome plating or send parts off to be plated which in Oz is not feasible.........& anyway I like chrome.....the more the better......lol. *NM*
      • When I feel like it I do remove the chrome plating and then paint the assembly with testors chrome paint, which seems to give it that polished look. In general, in order to get the blower pieces to fit properly you have to do so much sanding anyway that there is very little
    • Plated kit blowers, when given a quick coat of Tamiya semi-gloss clear, look just like polished aluminum blowers, at least to my eye....TIM *NM*
      • Yes that is my reading as well. Too bad our kit makers can't or won't do what the Japanese ones do. They have a semi shiny finish they sometimes put on chrome parts to make them more realistic. *NM*
  • Some observations. I see a water pump molded to the timing chain cover but no way to power it. I believe gassers did not have WPs on them, they used the water in the block to keep it cool enough to run on the strip.
    • More on the cooling system....but you are correct, there is no fan belt for the water pump. upper and lower radiator hoses are included, and the radiator piece includes an engraved electric fan..... As you know, 1960's Gassers had radiator hoses and radiators, but for...
    • As to the rear axle, it is on a tree of parts exclusive to the Gasser kit, so I do not believe it is the stock Chevy II component. Plus, when assembled, it looks plenty chunky and sturdy. I do not think today's street Gassers generally run 1950's Olds/Pontiac diffs....
      • Yes, today they probably run either dana 60s, Ford nine inch, or GM twelve bolt depending on the application. Thank you for responding! When is the next installment coming? I want to see some gluing done :-) *NM*
        • Hopefully tomorrow night at the latest! TIM *NM*
  • THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! *NM*
  • This is kool, thanks for sharing, I'm glad this found it's way into your hands for a review. Really looking forward to it.....is this streaming somewhere so I can binge watch?! LOL *NM*
    • Not streaming, but I did just post the first build update a few minutes ago....Thx for your comments! TIM *NM* *LINK*
• OT...I forget...how do you tell the size of a fanbelt by looking at the numbers on the belt?? Thanks *NM*
  • This would be a 39" belt... *PIC*
    • Hmmm.....that kinda worked on one of mine, but not the rest. Wonder what's up with that. *NM*
    • I think 4L indicates the belt width in 1/8" increments. 4L=4/8"=1/2". A37 is likely the manufactures part number *NM*
• MCI 1914 Model T Soda Jerker Firetruck *PIC*
  • Cute T, but that ALF is stunning! Can we see more photos of that? *NM*
    • Thanks guys for the kind words. I have a couple pics of the Thibault but I haven't taken any of the ALF yet. I still haven't loaded the hose bed. *PIC*
  • Really nice models and diorama! *NM*
  • Carl, what did you use for brass? *NM*
    • i used Humbrol enamel #16 metalic brass. Ended up brush painting everything because I couldn't get a proper mix to airbrush it *NM*
      • Carl, thanks for the tip--wasn't aware Humbrol had a brass--your brush job is superb, friend. *NM*
  • Very nicely done.... Can we see the other firetrucks, as well, please? *NM*
  • My old Fire Dept has a 1923 Bickell Soda acid engine *PIC*
  • Nice layout, Carl! Is that the Yat Ming '38 Ford in the bay? Love it! *NM*
    • Yes it is, Charlie. What do you use for hi-vol and 2.5" hoses on your models? *NM*
      • Not sure what you mean by hi-vol but I use 1/4" wide sewing elastic for 2-1/2" hose and 1/8" elastic for 1-1/2'' hose. *NM*
  • Where oh where did you get the Thibault decals? *NM*
• Questions about entering models into a show tomorrow. ....................
  • Your best bet would be to talk to the people running the show. They'll have the final say. *NM*
  • Check with the contest folks to see IF they allow judges to pick up the models. Usually, they DON 'T pick up models in Curbside or Slammer classes!
    • I've only ever entered in a show twice. 1 model back in 2002 and a diorama several weeks ago. I barely know anything about shows. I didn't think a model would ever get picked up. I don't like that idea. Do they wear gloves when doing that? *NM*
  • To me, curbside means the hood does not open. Regardelss of what the underside looks like or the interior.
    • Like Jason mentioned above, sometimes judges will pick the model up to look at the chassis. If that's the case tomorrow, I don't want my entry to get turned down or disqualified. *NM*
  • Most curbside kits I have (or seen) have some kind of chassis detail from minimal to high detail. All have the hood shut. Interior detail is usually always there as well. These are manufacturers kits, not something cobbled together. As stated, best ask *NM*
  • Way off the topic of the main question but why on Earth does anyone allow a "judge" to pickup/handle a model?
    • I've had signs saying "please do not touch the models" but certain folks just cannot read. Shows great disrespect for other people to disregard the sign. *NM*
• Father & Son Project *PIC*
  • Very Cool Dave... *NM*
  • Planting the seed is the only way to grow our hobby. Well done! *NM*
  • Dave, the hand-eye & small motor skills you are teaching will be invaluable for the rest of his days. Way to go , DAD! *NM*
  • Awesome ! :-) *NM*
  • Re: Awesome as I'd like to get my grandson back to modeling however I haven't been feeling well lately. Sighhhh. *NM*
  • Do I spy with my little eye...a 29 Ford in the background? *NM*
  • Do I spy with my little eye..a 29 Ford in the background??? *NM*
    • oops....double talk! lol I find that I repeat myself he older I get.... *NM*
      • Yup.... At your advanced age, you probably just forgot what you just said!!!! LOL *NM*
        • ahhh...you a funny man Mr Martaaa LOL *NM*
    • You mean this one? *PIC*
      • That's the one! Thanks *NM*
      • How'd ya get the front down so nicely? *NM*
        • I stuck a Revell 32 Ford front axle under it, and used the front tires from the new tool Ala Kart. *NM*
          • ahhh....thank you Dave *NM*
  • Awesome story and build! *NM*
  • Well done! *NM*
  • I built an AMT 58 Chevy with my dad at that age, and recently gave him a replica (bare plastic, no paint) since the original didn't survive *NM*
  • WOW!! How great is that!! *NM*
• Semi off topic: Diecast VW van resto *LINK*
  • It must have had incredible sentimental value to go through that much trouble... It would have gone straight to the trash in my house. *NM*
    • I half suspect he does it for the challenge. *NM*
      • He does it for the clicks. He might even be a professional YouTuber. *NM*
    • Raymond he has a YouTube channel where he restores old rusted vehicles, link inside *NM* *LINK*
  • This one's even better. *NM* *LINK*
    • watched that one too, very cool *NM*
  • here is a link to the guys YouTube channel more restores on it *NM* *LINK*
  • There are several toy restoration channels on YT. Also note that faked restoration videos are not uncommon. Some "abandoned" diecast toys look like they've been deliberately wrecked, with rather peculiar damage. *NM*
• I wonder if you can gently heat the film with a hairdryier to get it to conform better. *NM*
  • It might make it a bit more stretchy for raised details, it will probably eventually return to its relaxed state when it was originally pressed into depressions. Like I said, it will have its uses, but nothing like BMF real metal foil. *NM*
• I recall his WWII Flying Fortress video... *LINK*
• Lancia Stratos...
  • What scale is it?.....looks to be a neat molding......I've got an ESCI Lancia Monte Carlo in 1/24th with a clear body that I must finish one day, started over 25yrs ago.... can't rust these things.....lol. *NM*
• Reminder....be watching here tomorrow (probably in the evening) for the debut of a project to build a test shot of an upcoming model car kit online here at the Spotlight Hobbies Board over the next several weeks....TIM *NM*
  • Thanks can't wait *NM*
  • I have a sneaking suspicion that I know what it is.... And that it is something that I am going to be VERY interested in!!! *NM*
    • Jim Dunn’s rear engine funny car? *NM*
    • Maybe they found another missing AMT Craftsman kit? *NM*
  • I'm looking forward to it, Tim. *NM*
  • Okie Dokie! *NM*
  • Can't wait! *NM*
  • Revell's de-RatRoaster-ed 32 roadster? bet you could build that kit in your sleep, right Tim? :) *NM*
    • Yep...pretty much just what you said, Craig...TIM *NM*
  • C8? They did say they would have a new showroom model coming up in the video. *NM*
  • I look into my clear styrene ball to see into the future ... and I am seeing
    • I know exactly what it is....
      • Someone would probably build that... *NM*
      • An Aztek kit might be popular. Actor Bryan Cranston drove one when he was the star of 'Breaking Bad'. *NM*
      • Don't we wish!!! nah.. *NM*
  • And the answer is.... *NM* *LINK*
• Wow! You did a great job bringing that bus to life.Re: Me too. Here's the link to the build album. *NM*
• That's quite the job you got for yourself Ron. I thought some of my WW1 biplanes were bad but that's just beyond something I'd tackle. Kudos to you sir. *NM*
• Nicely built model. The stop motion is very well done and cool. *NM*
• Steve, Al and Frank ....... all of your guys parts went out in the mail today. ENJOY! *NM*
  • Thank you sir *NM*
  • Thanks Scott. *NM*
  • scott liggett, i AM NOT ABLE TO GO TO LOUISVILLE SATURDAY OR THE SLOT CAR TRACK SUNDFAY. i HATE TO MISS THESE SHOWS BUT MY WIFE COMES FIRST. SHE HAD A STROKE BACK IN MAY AND ITS HARD TO FIND SOMEONE TO STAY WITH HER FOR 3 DAYS *NM*
    • I totally understand. Family always comes first. I wish the best for your wife, yourself and your family. *NM*
  • Thanks again, Scott! *NM*
• You cleaned house! *NM*
• Nice color! *NM*
• Off the bench......PICS...... *LINK*
  • Looks nice but if memory services me the rear did sit a tad low in the real world. That doesn't seem as detailed as the Nova. *NM*
  • Great color David! *NM*
  • I like it. I have of the Falcons but wish I had bought more of them when they were available. *NM*
  • Looks great David. *NM*
  • Nice work on a somewhat flawed kit. I wonder if they will produce another run? *NM*
  • Would be a good subject for Round2 to do a new tool treatment to like the 63 Nova.
    • I’d like for them to do a ‘64-‘65 Chevelle as a follow up to the ‘63 Nova wagon. *NM*
  • You just gave me a great bad idea!
• Some inspiration from Andreas Wennevold *PIC*
  • Man, if I could model as good as he draws!!! *NM*
    • I hear you, but I've seen your builds. I'd say you're closer than you might think. Maybe you ought to try building one similarly as one of his drawings. nudge, nudge... *NM*
  • C'MON Mike what are you trying to do to me. *NM*
    • I throw my line out and the big fish are biting! *NM*
  • I think all the base cars are available from one kit company or another. *NM*
    • You are correct. Which is partially why I picked these ones. *NM*
  • Nice blend of old and new style *NM*
  • TOO COOL!!!! That '70 Super Bee is calling to me, big time!!!! *NM*
• Has ANYONE done the XR750 as a 1/25 scale model...or a diecast (Maisto?)? *NM*
  • Not sure. I'm going on a search. *NM*
• The Good Guys showwill be at Texas Motor Speedway THIS WEEKEND in Fort Worth! Helping out in the model car contest. MIght have an entry or two...or more? *NM*
  • Good luck to you. I'd hoped to be there with this *LINK* *PIC*
• I've got an original issue Revell '57 Chevy, in which the tires melted the chromed wheels... *NM*
• It reminded me of Gumby and Pokey, but without Gumby and Pokey. *NM*
• Congrats on all the awards. All well deserved. *NM*
• Would you guys buy a Spirit of '76 GMC kit if Revell came out with it? *PIC*
  • Maybe...deifnitely IF it was a new tool kit, equal to the Moebius Fords,and wasn;t a stright-up reissue of the old Monogram kit with a new decal sheet.
  • I would buy the Red, White & Blue version. *NM*
  • I'd buy that! *NM*
  • ScaleModeDecals by Kenny Terry has the RWB decals in 1/24 and 1/25. ,, and, yes, I'd definitely buy a '76 GMC. *NM*
    • Thank you, THANK YOU!! I will let you all know how good the decals are! *NM*
    • Steve, I just sent you an email. *NM*
  • Yes, but I’d build it as a regular GMC pickup. Surprised a detailed new tool 1973-87 GM pickup hasn’t happened yet given the popularity of the 1:1. *NM*
  • Stripe engineering, lol. The rendering missed out on the air dam on the 1:1 that would make it look even lower. *NM*
  • I'd have to backdate one to a '74 and update the other to a '79 to match my dad's trucks. *NM*
• Yes, Gunze did, I had some, worked just like BMF, but supply was spotty, just like their spray paint is now. *NM*
  • Lemme do a little homework - there is a long standing LHS not far from me
• Good for you, Ken!!! *NM*
• Maybe. I think I'm going to try to roll my own, with dollar store foil (it's thinner) and leafing adhesive *NM*
  • Aluminum foil will never be a good substitute for BMF original chrome foil
• Resin wheels won't get wrecked by the tires, but the adjacent body panels still will. I make a habit of tossing those old Revell tires, except for the US Royals *NM*
• A lot of adjustments to get there, but worth it. Turned out very nice and unique. *NM*
• Funny you say that Chris cause every time I go to the three LHS I have more paint seems to show up on the display while the LHS tells me they have gone by the the way side. *NM*
• Tim Boyd..... Oh good grief! SMH! I meant David Dale's post below... Argh! I hate growing older.... *LINK*
  • Thx Mike...no worries...I do the same type of thing all the time now! Best....TB *NM*
• ON A ROLL... With these road coarse cars I started this one back when the Mustang started using a NASCAR chassis and flares. Stalled now needing a Revell Daytona hood. I had to use the Landy hood and it doesn't really fit, don't really like anyway. PIX and thanks for looking
  • What that car needs is an AAR style scoop/bulge *NM*
    • Either that or possibly a Revell/Monogram '70 Challenger R/T twin scoop hood. *PIC*
      • Or a shaker hood scoop from a hemi cuda. *NM*
  • Frank, I have a spare 1970 Charger hood from the MPC Daytona/Dukes of Hazzard kit. (I don't know why MPC put the 1970 hood in the Dukes kit.) I know that you're looking for the Revell hood, but I can send you my MPC hood if you want it, I'll never use it. *NM*
    • I could try it.. do you have my address? *NM*
      • No, sorry, I can't find it. Please email it to me. *NM*
      • Frank, I just mailed the hood a little while ago. I included a separate hood scoop that you might be able to do something with on a project. *NM*
  • Frank, I also have a hood scoop like the ones used on the 1968 hemi Darts and 'Cudas if you want that too. It's used, but still useable. Let me know if you want that too. *NM*
• Chris and Mike I could only show you from the parts I had left over from the sides is the top portion of Mustang for a Speedster Mustang I started working on a few months back... Still a long way to go. PIX
• O/T: ONE of my other hobbies.......model trains *LINK* *PIC*
  • Love that stuff... Every year the train club has their annual train/swap meet and I always make it a point to attend. Love the work and detail involved setting up and the realism. For sure need lots of room which I don't have. *NM*
    • The tool vendors at train shows always have some good stuff *NM*
  • O scale 2-railer here... I also switch back and forth but have been immersed in layout track, wiring, scenery, etc. so no cars lately. But I'll be doing one soon. Two great pastimes! *NM*
  • Love them PIX. Keep 'em coming, Dave. *NM*
