- Here are a couple of more pics of the Cyclone progress that are a little bit better than the previous ones that I had posted. I don't know why, but my camera is not picking up some of the chrome components in the interior, they just show as being .......... *PICS* ..........
- If you like the Tyyrell P34 F1 car...... *LINK* *PIC*
- Had that kit in my stash for many years.... Finally decided that I would never build , so I sold it.... Now I wish I hadn't. LOL *NM*
- Tamiya 1/20th?...I built it when it 1st came out, neat kit, also got the Tomica 1/52 diecast of it & the Matchbox 1/32 2nd version...the Tamiya has had issues with the original solid front tyres but otherwise a neat kit which started me on another eleven Tamiya 1/20 F1's. *NM*
- JUST WAITING ON PAINT.... I thought I had the color decided but I ran out of my "MARTY MASHER" decals so I'm up in the air right now. PIC and thanks for looking
- I believe that I have some of my "French Tickler" decals left.... You know what they say: If you can't beat Marty, join Marty.....8^) *NM* *PIC*
- That's as hilarious as it is creative. Knew a girl who had one, it was antique white or equivalent color. Should fly, weighed about 600 lbs. (the car). *NM*

- AMT 60 chevy p/u *PIC*
- I always like your builds. *NM*
- Like? Absolutely! *NM*
- Is that 6 cyl engine set up in the kit or did you tweek the kit 6? Is the stock set up in the kit, too? *NM*

- PERFECT !! *NM*
- Very clean! *NM*
- Anyone here by one of those Garage display cases? They are built in 3 styles to hold 2, 3, or 4 vehicles. Are they good/bad? *NM*
- I have one. I liked it. But on mine - *PIC*
- I've got a couple. *PIX*
- That's a great eclectic selections of vehicles. Cool *NM*
- Ken, can you share where to get one or at least see more details? Thanks! *NM*
- Bob, here you go. Or just do a search on Mini-Z racing. The description says 1/28th so you do have to be somewhat selective on what you display, but as you can see from mine they do work pretty well. *LINK*
- Ones I saw on Amazon were 1:24, 1:25 just type in garage display case. *NM*
- Anybody here use any of the Mr. Hobby model adhesives? Opinions on their priduct? I see that they offer an adhesive pen. *NM*
- A4 continues his work on his Revell '65 For Mustang project. *VIDEO*
- Here's where I am with my 1967 Cyclone. These pictures did not turn out very well, you can see more details in person. All that I have left to do, is to BMF the body and put the stripe decals on it. Thank you all for your advice. .......... *PICS* .....
- Looks darn good to me! *NM*
- Very nice! Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished. *NM*
- Scott, that looks very nice to me, I & I would guess most on here would be pleased & proud to have a model that well built so don't be too hard on yourself, you do well. *NM*
- Looking good ! I'm guessing the seats are vinyl with the high gloss finish?
- Going in the right direction - natural light is your friend
- Looks so nice. Can't wait to see it done. *NM*
- There was a section of rules, how to post using the reply boxes or multiple pics using a given prefix and suffix, mug shots of board members, etc. but when board was revised after Matt and Dawn got it those have not yet been restored. Posts CANNOT be edited or deleted so be
- Thanks for the paint info! *NM*
- Is your service satellite or ground cable? For which services? Are TV, phone(wi-fi?), and internet all with the same provider? Do your cables run at some point through the crawl space or attic? May have mice or other critters chewing on them. If so, that should be
- As I posted last evening, with the help of a (self-proclaimed) tech nerd buddy of mine, I was able to sort things out and traced it to the modem itself.... Everything seems to be good now. *NM*
- Got mine a couple days ago, great issue. Also, my truck made the Buckeye classic. Coverage *NM*
- Lookin good! I would drop the rear a bit but that's just me lol *NM*
- Nice job! *NM*
- Okay, who is building this one - or did someone beat me to it?
- The Open Road camper from the Model King set would be better. I never knew those were done as brand new vehicles *NM*
- Not entirely sure this was new vehicle, but it would make sense as the leading (only?) commercial chassis passenger car *NM*
- Not new (company address includes zip code) but where were they getting enough of them for quantity production? *NM*
- I think that you're correct. It was a way to modify used professional cars to make them saleable. *NM*
- Worked on the Cadillac Commercial business for a hot second years ago

- Not entirely sure this was new vehicle, but it would make sense as the leading (only?) commercial chassis passenger car *NM*
- I have thought about something similar, but never started one. Now though........hmmmm. *NM*
- I always wanted to do a Fleetwood 75 limousine conversion on the Ghostbusters kit. *PIC*
- Dennis Distributor, vendor in ad, was a Miller-Meteor Ambulance dealer in Flint, MI. Don't know if they still exist. *NM*
- There was a cottage business of converting used hearses into campers. Used funeral cars had no real value otherwise. Supposedly Superior did similar conversions, though I do know they did offer a camper based on their width-stretched Chevy van ambulances. *NM*
- The Open Road camper from the Model King set would be better. I never knew those were done as brand new vehicles *NM*
- Looks like maybe a Medium Duty truck grille, but heavily reworked *NM*
- Question; can you spray Duplicolor primer over pre-existing acrylic, enamel, or lacquer? TIA! *NM*
- Sweet! *NM*
- I’m looking forward to seeing this!!! *NM*
- So cool....I think that's my new holy grail. Wish me luck. *NM*
- I'm baaaaaaaack.... With instruction from a tech nerd buddy of mine, I was able to get my modem back up and running without jumping through the hoops that Xfinity set in my way.... That said, here are a few images from the County Line Cruisers, show, in Erie (IL) *PICS* *LINK*
- Oh my....the black Rebel!! SO nice! *NM*
- I like the black Messerschmidt. *NM*
- I'm with Jim! That black Rebel is to die for!! *NM*
- Glad to see you're "back on track". *NM*
- AGREED!!! That REBEL is tough!!!! thx *NM*
- The old green Ford Humpback, are those head lights stock? I never saw those before. Thanks *NM*
- Welcome Baaaak! Great pics of the show. As for the smiles on Shaun and Jackson's faces, I bet the only one any wider at the show was your own. Congratulations! *NM* *PIC*
- Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess Rebel Rebel, how could they know? *NM*
- MPC pre-painted 1972 Impala…..Mulsanne Blue? *NM* *PIC*
- Betting the same color as the dealer promo, just running kit parts through the same paint line at the factory *NM*
- Thanks. The promo seems to be a lighter blue like Ascot blue. I looked on the color chip for 1972 Chevy’s and it seems Mulsanne is the closest match. However, pics of that color online seem to be all over the map. *NM*
- Blues and greens are very hard to reproduce on video / screen
- Thanks. I have a vintage color chip sheet and Mulsanne blue seems to be a match. I thought someone here would have restored an MPC ‘72 Impala kit, but I’m in new territory, I guess. I’ll just order the color from MCW and hope it matches. *NM*
- I have one Mike, not restored yet though. The color on the model matches your pic very well. I also think it's closer to ascot blue but without an actual paint chip, it's hard to tell. Mine is stripped now but the paint was almost exactly the same color as the plastic. *NM*

- Great loookig build! Nicely detailed too. *NM*
- Thanks for the suggestions. I've decided to go with the skinny spoked wheels from the Revell Tweedy Pie 2. *NM*
- I like it ,,, would like it even more without whatever that is in the middle of the grille. *NM*
- Looking for suggestions for '69 Super Bee (A12) black hood paint brands/colors, Thanks! *NM*
- They come over the water on the same ships. The “City Slicker” I was seeing everywhere. Then, supply dried up and prices shot up after that. Yet, the “Old Pro” ‘72 Nova and ‘73 Mustang heritage box edition are a dime a dozen. *NM*
- I see that the 1:1s are going for over $50,000 - $80,000 Canadian... I'd venture to say the kit prices will be commensurate... *NM*
- I'd rather not think about it... LOL *NM*
- Is it this body? *NM* *PIC*
- Did Okey (Johan) ever release his proposed 3D printed Powell pickup kit? If so, anyone here buy one? *NM*
- Super !! *NM*
- O/T: Old man rant...... *PIC*
- Well said,, the younger generation has ruined car shows as we knew them..guess its a sign of the times... *NM*
- Around here, it's the high dollar Challengers and Mustangs that get a lot of attention. Bucks Rods I call them. *NM*
- Hot rodding in the 70's was very different......
- A lot of the time, the owners of these expensive trucks/cars are not even there. They use a broker who drives/ transports the vehicles there to be displayed. Big money corporate stuff. *NM*
- Dave,I've had my 40 Dodge since '71,rodded since '73 & yep things are different to back then but the main thing is that YOU enjoy the car,don't worry about what others do,they are just doing what we did when we were younger, "hot rodding" as they see fit,not my cup of tea. *NM*
- My 2 cents,if you don't mind.The "car scene" like the "music scene", '40's, '50's, '60's", '70's, it all changed. Some good, some, eh! I've seen it, heard it, all(well, most of it). So, as they say, it is what it is. *NM*
- Hot rodding in the 70's was very different......
- Uh huh... *PICS*
- Except for your wagon, just a row of used cars. *NM*
- What? NO "Deuces", T-buckets, Rat Rods? Sheesh! I'm goin' back home! L.O.L. *NM*
- Those pesky kids and their idieas. For the past decade or so, the complaint had been that young people weren't into cars.
- I'm with you. Those same things have ruined the local (Lansing IL) cruise night *NM*
- ENGINE QUESTION: Mono '37 Fords--engine looks like maybe a Chevy 350? (Box & instructions are mum.) *NM*
- AMT Parts Pack #8435 has 12 spoke wheels which will fit many AMT tires. *NM*
- If you must, just use a fine tip silver marker to paint the lines. *NM*
- I agree with Bill G. about the lines/cables being dark in color. Given that, these very fine tip Pigma Micron pens might do the trick...*2 PICS*...
- Did any '68 - '72 Nova come from the factory with orange paint? How about '68 or '69 Chevelle? Don't recall ever seeing either one. Thanks. *NM*
- Hugger Orange was a paint option for Nova's. *NM*
- It shows on the Ditzler chart as an option for Camaro - but ...
- I read in one of the big magazines [Popular Hot Rodding maybe??] back in the late 80s/early '90s that there was a Nova that left the factory wearing Plymouth Plum Crazy purple. *NM*
- It shows on the Ditzler chart as an option for Camaro - but ...
- 1969 Chevelle SS was available with Hugger Orange from factory. *NM*
- Here's what I found for colors *NM* *PIC*
- Unrelated and FWIW: My 71 Ventura II was Sundance Orange. Probably came down the same assembly line as Novas did. *NM*
- Auto Color Library is one source, or Paint Ref (LINK INSIDE) *LINK*
- Hugger Orange was a paint option for Nova's. *NM*
- More modeler ADD: Cruising the commerce page saw the new '65 Elco wiith Camper. Did the short lived '59 El Camino Camper use the same shell? *NM*
- One suggestion before painting over it all is if you can find a water/acrylic based paint same color as the oxide,thin it a bit then with a fine brush flow it along both sides of the lines to fill those areas to cover the silver-I say acrylic as its less likely to pick up
- All I see are emergency brake cables. There are no fuel lines or brake lines molded on that chassis. *NM*
- From what I've observed, to be more realistic paint those cables gunmetal or even black. Using an art pencil is a great idea for things like this. Thanks for the idea Bob! *NM*
- Buy 'em when you see 'em, no telling which kits sell enough to warrant a second production run *NM*
- RC just dumped those kits into the channels for years, I used to buy 'yellow box' kits for parts, they were a treasure trove
- Looks terrific. Was the engine compartment original JoHan? *NM*
- R2 snuck one in under the radar in the last release of the '56 - the original front runner small diameter front tires are in the box
- The driver of that car needs to learn to park better in the lot! Nice build my friend! Miss ya at club. *NM*
- Gas tank is galvanized steel *NM*
- Art supply store will have a metallic silver pastel drawing pencil (plus a gajillion other colors)
- Really nice work. The local A&W owner has a Machine that he bought while he was in high school. He restored it to original *NM*
- Too many bumps and voids for even Tamiya tape. I agree with painting over it and move on. But would have been cool if it worked! *NM*
- Let me walk back my comment a little bit on RMR.
