Thanks, some where here some one cut the front of the Torino and Polar lights car off at the windshield and did it that way. This sounds some what easier. You can get a 68 Torino front grill from Hart ...

Were did you cut the Polar lights car and Torino to create such a magnificent work of art

Hart has good stuff

always thought the blue Hardees car looked better than the orange and white one, Great job.

the 3 71 and 27 are not the real deal as far as hot they looked in NASCAR. They were built by some guys trying to make the car go fast. You can watch Youtube and check them out pretty neat but not how ...

Thanks guys for all the help. I have a couple of spray cans of Hugger Orange I purchased when I heard Testor's was going away. Looks like that is what I'll use. Didn't mean to start anything. I do rem ...

all the Petty Belvedere's are molded in white except one reissue molded in blue. The whole kit is blue. I'm thinking it was some type of Anniversary car but don't remember for sure. I think mine say's ...

Thanks Guys I did hear years ago on MRN the color was referred to as a tomato red. Just looking for a good spray can without investing big bucks.

Thanks guys for the response. I should be set. Joe show those pics.

Looking for a spray can version of Poppy Red. Any suggestions. I use Tamiya a lot and nothing seems close. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the response. Sorta took me by surprise.

Been working on one of the new Dodge Charger kits from Salvino. Went to put the body over the chassis an where I spread the body the windows and rear valence popped off. How did you guys get the body ...

one of the nicest black paint jobs I've ever seen. not any easy task but yours is great.

Tom you are probably right, it isn't as light as I may have thought. If Ray says it was Plum Crazy Purple it probably was.

I saw the car race twice, at Charlette(World 600) and Darlington. It was purple but I'm thinking it was a little darker than Plum Crazy Purple. I also read and article in one of the stock car magazine ...

Interesting photo. I attended most of the races at Martinsville during the 60's and don't remember Wendell in a Chevelle. It looks like one of the nonbuttress Chevelle's. Also as for the color of the ...

Thanks for the reply
. I'll give it a shot.

You have done a great job converting that Fury to a Savoy. I have that started have come to a stumbling block on the rear light panel how did you convert that. Thanks in advance.

pictures I've seen of the Hemi at Daytona is all orange, I believe they were delivered in that color, although it looks to be a more transparent orange then what was later called Hemi-orange. Tom prob ...

I have 4 of those, the 82/17/ and the SAI car also I think the Zerex T-bird. I'm sure they are all there except for the SAI car it is missing the intake manifold. Decals are all there also. I'll look ...

The color I used for mine was by Tamaya called McClaren orange, I think it is TS-56 Bright Orange.

Spooker I had heard that the tires used in some Northern modified circuits scale out to what the larger tires on the AMT stockers measured. I guess it was an area think because I don't remember tires ...

Those kits were always a challenge and the big tires made them look toy like. With a few changes and some new tires and a little scratch building you have turned it into a wonderful race car. Somethin ...

very nice

Excellent , you did use the red decals?

#11 Something about a race car in orange.

Ive seen the car with the Big R/T decal always thought it was a 66. Only a front and 3/4 side view but again thought it was a 66. Am thinking the large R/T was at Riverside

I watched a guy on YouTube recently who use bleach and he said he could remove the chrome from Salvino kits in about three days, using bleach. Haven't try it yet but he seemed pretty sure of himself. ...

I use oven cleaner in a plastic bag.

man one nice Lemans. What did you do on the grill paint, etc. Looks great.

Year ago I believe SAE did a comparison between the AMT 67 and Revell 67. Their conclusion was the Revelle was best. I've built both nd the Revelle is a little more accurate to me. Both are nice kits. ...

I use the poly paint years ago on one of my models. Dries dead flat needs a gloss coat used over a primer, color was nice. I was using the pink. Also years ago Pactra made a color called blue dust was ...

Great work, if it wasn't for the back drop would have thought it's real. Wheels are fantabulus.

Nicely done.

nice work Gator. Goldsmith also drove a 1965 Plymouth at the 66 Daytona 500. Won one of the qualifying races and seemed to be the only car that could run with Petty. I've been working on one for some ...

great job Steve.

Nice as always

Glad to know. I have heard so many bad things about these kit I was a little afraid to start them. I'm not an expert my any stretch of the imagination but the one I've built have been pretty good. I b ...

Nice work I looked over mine and was wondering if you have any problems with the fitting of he roll cage. Looks ok.

MCW had one. Body chassis and interior only I think. I assume it's pretty hard to find. I ordered some resin stuff from them long ago and their stuff was pretty good. Someone is still making their stu ...

Mark another wonderful build

I do. Might want to go easy on the setting solution over other decals but I've ever had a problem if the base decals are dry.

Really, really nice work.

I usually spray the tires with gloss coat, once its dry I use setting solution on the tire decals. once they are dry I use dull cote on the tires. I then use a little Tamiya weathering stick to knock ...

very nice glad to see you were able to mix and match with Salvino's vermillion sheet and paint. Have wanted to try that was just waiting on someone with more skill than I have to do it first. Really n ...

Ushabti

It was Citadel paint . Strange first name but was bone. With a black wash really looks good on window netting. But I also use it on air filters.

Thanks Doc, for the reply.

I got the bone white at my local Hobby Shop. It was in the figure painting section. Small plastic pot. I have used it with Tamiya panel line wash (black) and it worked great. Sorta turned the area int ...

Bill J, didn't all factory 66 Galaxies at that time lower the nose and chop the top a little ? Jr. raised the trunk area took the chopping to a new level and added the truck arms. There is an article ...
