- Hey guys back to the hobby after a 4 year break!
- Rich/NV did you get the chevy engine parts you need?? If not, could you repost that page of directions, or the link? I found more parts. *NM*
- Started kit bashing a Thrift Shop dollar toy Monster Truck with a AMT '60 Rancero.
- Any suggestions? A friend is looking for a 1/25 resin 1956 COE truck cab. *NM*
- Andreas Grossen from Switzerland send me these photos to post for him. I just read the post from Gerry Paquette regarding a wheel choice for the 48 Ford Custom patterned by Juha Airio. As I built such a kit last year, I could have a suggestion for Gerry: I used cast pewter *PIC*
- I'm bored. *PICS*
- Remember how the early 70's MPC NASCAR kits all had that same generic NASCAR chassis? Are the Salvino kits the same way? Are every kit the same? Or all GM's have the same or all the MOPARS the same? The old MPC kits had leaf springs under GM cars since all were same. *NM*
- BILL GOLDBACH I got the color samples you sent. Thank you! The saddle tan is definitely too dark, and the light sand is more khaki tan than my seats, which have a hint of yellowish tones. I cannot test compare exactly since the car is in the shop tonight. I should get
- Just when you think a few hot rods are cool,went to a local coffee run this morning,few rods there then a guy with a genuine road reg'd 1926 Type 37 Bugatti turns up,no pics but all original,1500cc,SOHC,alloy boattail,knock offs,lock wires,Revell,reissue the Mono Type 37.lol *NM*

- A Blast from the Past, Part 1. AMT 1958 Impala Custom built back in the 80s (PICS)
- Made me leave and go look on Google. The question is actually asked there, and here's the answer.
- CONTINUE FROM BELOW.... Had enough credits to graduate my Jr year HS, BUT! I didn't take two selective classes I needed to graduate so my senior yr I had two class, out at 10am then went to work so I could alway afford a nice car **INSIDE**
- 63 & 64 Corvettes...more :)
- .... $55.00 for 1 year.... $90.00 For 2 Years if you do NOT live in the U.S.A. .... *NM*
- Speaking of bleach, any chemistry gurus here? When you bleach something that is dark and it turns white... where does the color go? ;^) What is the chemical process? *NM*
- I knew it but failed to mention it. It is amazing to watch his fingers flying. There are other videos with close ups of just his hands that are fun to watch, too. He is getting older but I believe he is still performing, but mainly in the western U.S.? *NM*
- Had to clear the cache. So... *PIC*
- Frank LuQue, I just sent you an email. The one that I sent the other day was to the wrong person. *NM*
- I have a plan in my head of doing a VW bug with a V8 or V6 engime in the rear. Problem is I'm not sure about the rear axle.Is there a transaxle I can use or just use the VW rear??? *NM*
- V6 and V8 Vair conversions are legion, thus I'd look up the real version of your ideas. AMT's Corvair has a 3 or 4-speed transaxle. Also depends on whether you're looking for plausibility or just looking good *NM*
- Well...in my misspent youth(50+ yrs ago) I built the Revell Dune Buggy,nice metallic gold plastic,but only dak,dak power, so I glued a blown JoHan 426 Hemi onto the VW transaxle,the plastic handled the power,didn't worry about cooling,etc but it looked good at the time..lol *NM*
- Swap in the whole Corvair transaxle and suspension. That'll work with a 6 or mild V8. Next step would be a FWD Toronado or Eldorado automatic transaxle. People used to swap those into Corvairs with the 455 or 500 V8s! *NM*
- Many years ago a fellow I used to work with told me a story of a VW bug blowing by him in his 327 Chevelle. When he saw him later, he found out it had a 6 cyl boxer from a Porsche 911. Not a V6 but cool nonetheless... *NM*
- A well-tuned Corvair flat six will get your attention in a hurry
- If you have an IMC Chaparral 2E, you can use the whole rear engine/transaxle/suspension :) *NM*
- Had a friend put a formula Vee motor in a 73 super beetle. *NM*
- Could also use a Porsche 911 transaxle. *NM*
- I'm sure the older folks grumbled about the hairstyles of the kids in the '60s and '70s. Things haven't changed much. :-) Many adults even hated rock and roll. *NM*
- Frank LuQue, I sent you an email yesterday. Did you get it? *NM*
- Need input on wheel choice for this custom...
- I wish I knew why a half full rattle can just stops spraying.
- LOL the Turboru. *NM*
- I love my sci-fi cars. *PICS*
- That Kaiser convertible is at the Top of the chart! Excellent looking car! *NM*
- I start with Novus 1 and use it as a cleaner, with a soft cloth...
- In the last month, I have found a few small collections for sale and bought them, but today I got the best find of the past few years...
- I’m just posting this to re-establish my account. Good Morning ! *NM*
- Is there a secret to making chrome headlight lenses look more authentic? I seem to remember a post about coating them with clear flat, or something like that. Thanks. *NM*
- Thanks Marty! *NM*
- Thanks Bill!! *NM*
- I do one year at a time. *NM*
- Scott, there's some good videos on youtube of people bringing back severely yellowed plastic things with hydrogen peroxide solutions and UV light. They're having some incredible results with it and it seems to be safe for the plastic. *NM*
- Thanks Marty! *NM*
- Thanks Marty.....
- I'm going to do something I haven't done in a long time (if ever) and follow the directions step by step in the order laid out, and I'm going to start today!! *NM*
- Goodmorning everyone. I am wondering if some decal company makes the radiator hose decals, fan belt decals, all those small decals in the engine bay. I'm currently working on the 65 Impala and would reallly like to dress up the engine compartment. *NM*
- Don't see very many Street Rods paint white but man I like that one and with the bronze colored wheels I really like that. *NM*
