I took AdamtheWayne's advice on painting my resin bumper. I ordered the 30ml bottle of Molotow Chrome and sprayed it through my airbrush. I've tinkered with the pens, but this is my first time sprayin ...

I made my own for that body from scratch with clear plastic from some packaging. Not too challenging.
..and i might expect that a match for kit glass could be from a '71-'72 Cougar.

Thanks for th ...

Sorry, one last question for the evening. I pulled out my 1976 Mercury Montego resin body that I purchased from Southern Motorsports Hobbies last year and only just now realized that it didn't come wi ...

Use the Tamiya fluorescent red. STP red is a dayglow color. For Petty blue use TS-23 blue or Testors bright, light blue, unless you have an auto supply shop nearby. Then I would order a can of Basin s ...

TKO, sorry I've been out of it for a couple of weeks with work. The Salvino 442 uses a real metal chrome process, so there is no stripping it short of grinding it off, not a good option. Glad the whee ...

I'm trying to get a few paint jobs done on a few kits before my cancer surgery in 9 days. I serve in the U.S. Coast Guard and usually build naval kits but have recently regained my interest in and ret ...

I used TS-30 Silver Leaf for mine, it's more of a factory silver with less metallic. Closer to a silver gray.

I almost went with that option myself, it was a tough decision between the two. Your c ...

Orangeastre, you're right, there is a second set of wheels in the kit that are bare, so that's a pretty nice extra in the kit. I didn't realize that until you mentioned it, and until I actually starte ...

Tamiya Mica Silver is just about a perfect match for the silver sides of the car.

I guess I'm the only contemplating doing this this since there's been no replies so far? The reason I posted this question is because other than Adam's custom bumper set I'm building this first Salvin ...

So who's stripped the chrome plating from the chromed parts in their Salvini Baker Olds 442 kits and what brand chrome paint are you using to re-chrome those parts with?

Thank you!....That's the 1/25th scale Polar Lights Buddy Baker kit.

I forgot about the 1/25 Polar Lights Chargers for some reason, even though I've two of them. You're build looks great, thanks for ...

Thanks for the tip, I somehow missed that set on his website. I'm definitely going get that one and add that car to my 1/16 build queue. Unfortunately I only have a few weeks to work on my builds and ...

I did this several years ago, that's Magenta and probably Testors light yellow

Hello tko24
Check out Mikes decals. He has the #5 Neil Bonnet/ J.D. Stacy decals for the 1/16 Petty/Baker kits. They look fantastic on the white body. Just a straight build, no conversion needed. The ...

With all due respect, I remember those days as well. If you got a setting wrong, the picture could be ruined and you wouldn't know until the film was developed. Then the event was over and there was ...

There was a Daytona in 1/16 and a conversion kit for the Duke's kit.
I produce a few decals for the 1/16 Dodges.

Do you have a website that lists your 1/16 decals? What other Charger decals do yo ...

I'm getting close to finishing up one of my 1/16 Dodge Charger kits as Petty's 1977 Charger using the tires from the 1/16 AMT kits, and I was wondering if there had ever been any 1/16 resin bodies pro ...

That's unreal, that's a real car, no way that's a 1/24 model! Outstanding.

With the Buick Monogram chassis, did you have to rework the length, a 1/24 chassis under a 1/25 body? If so, how much?

Very nice job!!!
I did one of these years ago (1988?) Fred Cady two part decals,
which really worked well. Have keep it dust free all these years
and it still looks clean...

Okay, this build is no surprise to anyone. The fact that I quit procrastinating and got one built is the surprise.

so all of these 70's chassis are rear steer? i have several gm amt kits i would like to use up

joe

That's why I was disappointed that the Olds Baker kits have the wrong suspension, I looked at ...

For a great chassis under a MPC Chevy S-3 Laguna use ywo AMT 90's era kit chassis like those in the Thunderbird. I splice the two together near firewall to get right WB

Yeah that's what I was going ...

I received a couple sets of bumpers from Adam the Wayne today, all I can say is OUTSTANDING!!!!! He did a fantastic job! Thanks again Adam the Wayne.

Who's making these corrected resin bumpers? How ...

The Salvinos chassis is essentially the same as the MPC. The two pan halves go together more solid though. One thing to do in the MPC kit to adjust the body fit as well as rake, is to sand away a bit ...

The current Salvino's Olds chassis is a Mopar type chassis.

Yes I know, which is why I asked which Olds kit down the line will have the corrections in it. The 1/25 MPC Pepsi chevelle chassis is ter ...

Both Allison and Baker kit is same exact kit....different decals. Olds kits AFTER the Monte Carlo kits will be MORE correct they say.

So, in other words, not for a while yet. Disappointing. I'm goi ...

OK, so I'm trying to figure out which one of the Rick Salvino Olds 442 kits I'm going to buy. I want to support this company by buying some of these kits that I've long wanted and so that they continu ...

Wow, that's a beautiful build! Great job on it!

Richard Petty 1986-87 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2
David Pearson 70's Mercury Montego
Petty's mid to late 70's Dodge Charger

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I have about a half dozen of the NASCAR AMT early 90's Thunderbird kits. I guess I'll build one of those chassis's for the 76 resin Montego body...

Which resin Monte ...

Looking for some help with this. I've mostly only built 1/24 Monogram 80's and 90's NASCAR kits I have a few 1970's 1/25 NASCAR resin bodies that I've decided to finally start on. The first one I'd li ...

Rick said all subjects 1981 and newer will be 1/24th

That's good, I just wish the 1970's subjects were also in 1/24 so they could be displayed alongside the monogram 1/24 1980's cars at the same sc ...

That's great news. I can't complain about those choices, especially the Richard Petty STP Charger my favorite driver and race car. Hopefully they'll get around to doing some Fords and Mercurys too. Th ...

I just spoke with Rick Salvino and he hope's to start shipping late tomorrow and have everything shipped by end of business Thursday at the latest.. I am figuring a couple of days in transit before th ...
