- I am going to try my best to only post PICs of 67s today. I have just forgotten all the minor differences between one year and the next. At least I am posting cars from the 60s.
- My 67 for 6-7
- As real as real can be. What a good job on this build. *NM*
- Ed, that is the nicest build of the Toronado I've seen.........beautiful. *NM*
- A beautiful model of an equally beautiful car *NM*
- Looks great wearing that blue color. *NM*
- BEAUTIFUL! Here's a Toronado that I painted for a club member who is unable to paint. *NM* *PIC*
- Had a 1:1 '68 Toronado back in the day(wife's car), I had a '68 Mustang(squareback)(?). *NM*
- That is very Nice! Never had much appreciation for those cars as a Kid, but I sure do these days. My Parents neighbor had one of those, didn't look this nice! *NM*
- Wow, that IS a great looking Toro model, looks like the real thing, sweet! *NM*
- 2 days in a row that I've got a model that fits: 67 Thunderbird *NM* *PIC*
- Nice. Looks like a picture out of an old magazine. Nice build. *NM*
- Nice T-bird. They were my favorite car till the Mustang came out. Still have a soft spot for them. *NM*
- I am actually looking forward to possibly meeting you in person Marc....I would love to shake the hand of the Man that put me on to MV lenses so many years ago......
- Hey I am right on time guys for 67 on 6-7 day... Pics.
- Here are my only 65 and 66 to contribute. Only a couple days late on these. Pics
- Usually I am a day late and dollar short but today I am 5 days late and like 10 bucks short. Here is my only 62 for 6-2 day...
- '67's for 6/7.....pics.....
- my 67
- One for 6-6. Day late I know.
- a 1:1 question about engine oil......
- If you are using an oil that meets the API spec for the engine, and it is the correct viscosity for the engine, I don't think it matters what you use. *NM*
- Modern or vintage???? *PIC*
- This is one of those questions where, if you ask 100 people, you get 100 answers. The answer is to use a quality oil, suited for your engine, changed regularly. *NM*
- What kind / year of vehicle are we talking about ??? It has always been stated that you are better off having clean standard oil than dirty premium oil !!! I have been a Full Synthetic person from my early days with high performance sprots cars.......
- BTW.....most Synthetic oils have the "High Mileage Additives" anyways. *NM*
- I assumed he was talking about a new car. Said it had under 20K on it. In old cars that have flat tappet cams, you need an oil with a high zinc content. I have been using 20W50 Lucas Hot Rod and Classic oil in my '69 Dart since the day I bought it. No problems. *NM*
- thanks for all the responses. it was a hypothetical question about oils......
- A couple of '67 Mustangs and a T-Bird pics
- 1967s for 6-7
- (pics) For 6,7 ...I think this is my only '67 model
- Can't say enough nice things about such a beautiful model. It will be beautiful forever. Great work. Thanks for posting. *NM*
- Great build! *NM*
- Cliff, what about the kit of your 1967 Chevy pickup I gave you? Still not built? *NM*
- She is pretty and cleanly built. *NM*
- Beautiful build of a beautiful car, tho' I would add the Ferrari 330 P4 & Lambo Muira to your list, also Lola had input into the GT40 design as I understand. *NM*
- nice group *NM*
- Computer still isn't set up in the new place, but I'm going to try to post a couple of pics from my phone... Went to day one of Sick Magazine's Sick Week, Drag & Drive, at Cordova Dragway, Monday....
- 3600 lbs and 66.6/213 !!! What in the world is under the hood of the Chevy wagon???? *NM*
- That wagon is awesome! Okay, who makes the wagon in scale :) .. *NM*
- Extremely Serious machines! Thanks for pics. *NM*
- I was watching online and and thought of you and Frank being near Cordova and Byron. The wagon belongs to Steve Morris, the engine builder for a few of the top drag and drive racers *NM*
- 1/1 Car Q: Is anyone good at inverted flares??? *PIC*
- I did several of those flairs on a car I built , and they are very difficult to get correct. Buying pre-flared lines would be my choice Maybe a more expensive way to go, but saves a lot of frustration. *NM*
- If you can get pre made lines you are better off as long as you can get the right lengths. I would always use string and / or a coat hanger to figure out the routing - then measure the length to get the closest size. I am an ASE Certified Master Technician with 30+ years...
- It's all about the tool. You need a GOOD double flare tool. Harbor Fright will not do it. Get one made by Lisle, Ridgid, or Snap-On. I bought a lot of Snap-On stuff 20-30 years ago and it's usually worth the money. Also, do not try to flare S/S hard lines. The material is
- Both ends will need the flare, and not sure where you get a premade for a custom build...
- I love this. *NM* *LINK*
- NOW you show us how good it looks... just sold my kit at the last swap meet :) *NM*
- 66 Thunderbrd Town Landau from many years ago. *NM* *PIC*
- Le Mans this weekend. Here's one for you MOPAR guys since you don't get much love in endurance racing. *NM* *LINK*
- My 66s for 6-6
- Really digging that Valiant Ute! Too cool! *NM*
- All are great but that Caddy is something else! *NM*
- Beautiful limo! *NM*
- That's what I'd call a "cute ute". *NM*
- Great black paint job on the limo! *NM*
- Ed, the Caddys nice but the Valo Ute had me speechless,very nice tho' a couple of tips,lol,that grille when used by Oz AP6 Valo also came with a distinctive pressing on the front fender sides,the "clean" fender sided 1966/67 VC had a very plain straight barred grille. *NM*
- Man, you build some nice stuff!! That limo is gorgeous! *NM*
- Those are great. Nice job. That's the Quintessential Limo. *NM*
- Outstanding! *NM*
- Those are some great builds. Love the Caddy but that Valiant Ute is over the top. *NM*
- Nice line up... *NM*
- '66's for 6/6.....pics.....
- Outstanding work! NM *NM*
- I built the Minori figure but not the tiller. *NM* *PIC*
- Great detailing. Nice. *NM*
- Beautiful job on the '66 Impala coupe. Mother had a cinnamon red one back in the day. She loved it. *NM*
- Those are all really nice. Great modeling and attention to detail. Represents a great deal of your time spent making really nice builds. Thanks for posting. *NM*
- Really nice work. Especially the Impala. With the right diorama it would be hard to tell from real. Great stuff. *NM*
- Yeah, the orange Olds 442 is a '67. It has the low side trim. The '66 side trim is up at the body ridge line. The headlights and taillights are different, too. *NM*
- She's cute but those trucks are even prettier. Outstandingly clean and detailed. Super job. *NM*
- Is Revell/Monogram going to re issue the Original Monogram 1/24 scale Tom Daniel Poison Pinto? Thanks. *NM*
- 6-6 *PIC*
- How close is Hugger Orange to Chevrolet engine orange? Is hugger too “red” or would it be close ? *NM*
- A couple of '66's pics
- Thanks for the compliments! *NM*
- Rich, it is the Accurate Miniatures kit. Difficult build but thank goodness God invented Zap-a-Gap! *NM*
- Has anyone built the AMT Surf Woodie and did you use the kits exhaust headers ? *NM*
- this kit curb.............PICs
- I built my own custom interpretation of the surf roadster version; molded in body, Richard Carroll tires...PICS
- I thought the front tires were wide. Until I saw those rear tires. Holy moly! Those are KRAZY WIDE! I take it those aren't available anymore. *NM*
- Really cool job! When you say you built the roadster version was there a separate kit or did you modify the wagon kit? Turned out great whichever it was. *NM*
- And the chassis is a bit of a model in itself. I used the kit headers as well. *NM* *PIC*
- That circle template looks familiar! We had one in our drafting dept. Still have a smaller version of the same thing in the work shop. *NM*
- You can't have TOO MANY templates.😎...PIC
- DI see the name Pickett. They along with Deitzgen, and Kueffel and Esser made slide rules that were used back in the '60's before pocket calculators. How quaint! *NM*
- Somewhere in high school I had to learn to use a slide rule. Anybody else?? *NM*
- Used it all through college and early engineering practice. Introduced to a $300 HP calculator in the very early '70's. *NM*
- Yeah, still have in my old briefcase from when I was an engineering major. Switched to art and graphic design and still have beaucoup templates, rulers, light table, etc. *NM*
- My Chem III (organic) teacher banned calculators until the last term
- Somewhere in high school I had to learn to use a slide rule. Anybody else?? *NM*
- DI see the name Pickett. They along with Deitzgen, and Kueffel and Esser made slide rules that were used back in the '60's before pocket calculators. How quaint! *NM*
