- O/T: Another road trip andother hospital stay....this one with surgery!!!!
- ,, and for my next trick , , Rodded '32 Chevy delivery *PIC*
- That's interesting, as I pulled my '32 Chevy roadster out of the pile last night with the intent of building pretty much as you described. Had my build in mind for years. *NM*
- Boy, that light blue seems to have been a popular color for those. I've stripped a similar shade of blue off of a couple of them *NM*
- update on my Uncertain T tribute build.................PIC's
- February 2024...
- Dave Van, I take it there was not enough interest in decals for that '56 Vicky gasser? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?? *NM*
- Tamiya reissue Alfa GTA coupe...
- COUPLE MORE CHEVELLES.... These are part of that group of bodies I cleared the other day. The clear doesn't stink so I was able to do several cars and bring them in the house. PIX and thanks for looking
- You're getting really good at adding headers to those promo chassis, Frank! *NM*
- Nice job! Re: chrome wheels on front… I recall years ago when I did a little racing that the guys with chrome wheels on front would put some wax or shoe polish on them to dull them down because the reflective properties of the chrome would mess with the timing light beams.
- Hmm never thought about that... This was an old street look from back in late 60's early 70's. Mostly cause the steel wheel in rear were cheap for part time wheels use. Makes sense but how about cars and Cragars up front. Still makes sense what you said. *NM*
- Hmmm.... In all the years that I spent at the dragstrip, never heard that one.... A lot of the guys that drove their cars to the track would swap to slicks mounted on painted steelies once they got to the track. *NM*

- Digging that Red Devil! *NM*
- Good morning all. Hope you are all well! Question does anyone here know when the RTS model show is going to be in Taunton, MA? I cannot seem to find any info. TIA. *NM*
- "Something differents..." *PICS*
- Nice color on the Ford...I like it. *NM*
- Looking forward to seeing the Charger built, those wheels look like the ones I've seen on a lot of them *NM*
- Good projects. Especially the Porsche. :-) *NM*
- Very nice - push that iron over the curb! *NM*
- Sure like the look of the 40.... like them all but that 40. *NM*
- Glad I'm not the only one who pays too muich for resin. Bought a '41 Packard kit that includes some only good parts, some borderline trash, and some trash. Paid a lot, too. *NM*
- Nice to see the Charger get built. The ‘73-‘74 Chargers have been all but forgotten in the model world, as I think the last time they were offered (other the Salvinos NASCAR version) was something like 30 years ago, with the Super Charger version Terry is building.
- Very cool!! I wonder if GM actually explored something like that back in the day. *NM*
- GET OFF MY LAWN... Sorry "BENCH" old man talk again. Just waiting for the decals but I'll call this 65 GTO a day. PIX and thanks for looking
- Very sharp! The Hurst wheels and redlines really bring it together. Is that painted or polished plastic? *NM*
- Nice work, Frank! Neat and clean! That cat sure gets around! *NM*
- Looking good Frank!! *NM*
- Looking good! *NM*
- Very nice, clean build. *NM*
- Ohhh I like that. Was the exhaust molded into the chassis?
- I think it will look good with the Car Craft decals when I get them Finished. *NM*
- Beautiful! *NM*
- Great build Dave! *NM*
- Beautiful resto Steve. The color, details, just super nice. *NM*
- Hi All! Here is my 24 hr build I did over the weekend. A brand new Revell Mustang Mach 1 I got from our friends here at S[potlight hobbies. (PICS)
- Puts me right back in HS stance, wheels, tire sizes, trac bars, etc.... Nice job. *NM*
- Good looking street machine! *NM*
- Coolness Robert! *NM*
- Nice build and great color choice. *NM*
- Done in 24 hours!? Super cool build! Your distributor is OK. The coil on a restored car goes on the driver side of the engine. Here's a pic for reference, if you do go to move it. BTW, about those headers.... *PIC*
- Nice build!! *NM*
- Looks really sharp, Rob. The Cragars and paint really make it stand out. *NM*
- Re: Looking good *NM*
- Exactly the way I would have it. Not jacked up in the back…nice! *NM*
- Flashback to Dearborn HS! That's what they looked like innaday
- Refresh my memory--Did Revell do a gasser version of the '57 Ford wagon? I saw the gasser sedan at a LHS this weekend, but I'm looking for a wagon now...
- Nicely done and great detailing on the chrome esp the emblems. *NM*
- Very unique build out of the normal box. *NM*
- Some may like this, some may not. This is for those that might consider building something like this. That is, if they ever become available. ’71 Dodge Demon resto-mod *LINK*
- I saw the same car and had the same thoughts...I have one left and waiting for Matt and Dawn and something is on my mind in that line. *NM*
- The "big box store" in my area doesn't have ANY model kits. Maybe I went to the 'wrong one'.
- Nicely done and not too wild. Looking forward to that kit. Might have to get a couple. *NM*
- Sweet! *NM*
- Very sleek looking Heavy Hot-Rod. Nice job. *NM*
- The '37 car kits will literally fal into place of a '37 Ford Pickup chassis.
- That looks perfect, Steve. The redlines pop the finish, and the Buick rallys look great *NM*
- Very clean build as usual. I particularly like the tinted windshield. However it needs an NB plate *NM*
- That looks great and could've been a factory offering! Not much room in the bed, oh but it DOES have a frunk! Beautiful! *NM*
- Very nicely done, I'm in Riviera mode now, working on a custom '63, so it's great to see such a nice build, I'm using some of that kit's stuff. Cheers! *NM*
- GET OFF MY BENCH.... Sorry old man talk but this is off my bench. My view on the 71 Demon. PIX and thanks for looking
- Very cool Frank! *NM*
- Looks good, Frank! *NM*
- Clean machine. Good advice too! *NM*
- Very nice work. *NM*
- Tasty looking Mopar, my friend...... Very tasty!!!!! *NM*
- Very classy subdued look for a hot little car. Nice job. *NM*
- Love the painted steelies look! *NM*
- Looks good Frank. Still have a can of Testors "green go" spray waiting for mine. *NM*
- Frank, nice work but I have a Q...I'm doing the AMT '70 Coronet & the side marker lights are giving me fits, how did you do these ones on the Demon?.....thanks. *NM*
- Very nice and subtle Frank. Love the rolling stock too! *NM*
- THANKS ALL...... *NM*
- Two thumbs up Frank!! *NM*
- Super clean build! Nice! *NM*
- Nice work on the Dart..For a Chevy guy you did that Mopar justice.. *NM*
- I have a 1930 AA ; flatbed with grain body. I, too, am anxious for this series! The Love of My Life was partial to the Phaetons but I was inclined to a Briggs bodied Leatherback sedan. sides. *NM*
- Looks great! Text of posts here cannot be edited on the board, but I think if you move or change the URL or file name of a pic the line in that post cannot find the orginal. Your post below illustrates that. Check it now to see what I mean. *NM*
- Only the first pic opened for me. The tiny pic icon with the words hosted by fotki each gave me this:
- Thanks! Yes, I didn't realise until minutes after posting, that something wasn't quite right- seeing it on the screen gave me a different POV, so I saw what needed fixing.. *NM*
- Very nice build, Steve. The color is perfect for that car. *NM*
- WOW!! *NM*
- That is so cool! Are any more of these available? How do I get one? :) *NM*
- WOW!! *NM*
- Very nice build! *NM*
- I'm with David.... No other word fits better than, BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
- Well, I wanted a dark teal color so I has some very dark blue and added a bit of very dark forest green and that's what I ended up with. *NM*
- Just curious.... Even though it was only used on the 67, was it included in the later kits?
- Yea, they're in every fastback Riviera since. The newest '69 kit I have has it and I also have a builtup '68 with it on the engine. They seem to be missing the two small pieces that attach to the sides though. I destroyed the ones on this one and was going to use the ones,,, *PIC*
- In the instruction page you posted, it shows the engine having an option of "Hilborn" fuel injection. Is that in the latest '69 kit, too? *NM*
- Thanks... That explains it! *NM*
- That's wild that they supply the manifold, but nothing else? (stacks, timing cover, fuel pump...) *NM*
- No stacks so it fits under the hood. Notice the "fuel injection pump" that replaces the power steering pump *NM*
- Oh yeah, I see it now. Thanks. I believe that's pure fantasy on the part of the kit designers. *NM*
- Pretty sure they'd fit Mark. The stock air cleaner and carb sit pretty high to start with. I cut the mounting tab from the bottom of my air cleaner so it would sit lower and look better. *NM*
