  1. Thank you fer yer comment, paints nuthin fancy...Testors Colors by Boyd Aluma Coupe yellow over white primer.
  2. Thank fer yer comment, in addition to the correct convertible interior the coupe kit also has the correct reinforced convertible chassis.
  3. Thank you fer yer comment. The pinstripe decals are in the latest restored release of the kit (circa 2012), took several sheets pieced together to get the "right" fit of the pinstripes as they do not quite fit the body correctly.
  4. I'm particularly fond of Ed Roths cars by Revell...I really enjoy the intricacy of these kits.The Outlaw.Tweedy Pie.Surfite and Tiki Hut and BDR hisself.The Road Agent.The Beatnik Bandit II with BDR and his pal.The Mysterion...I built this in 86 or so.Ed pinstriped his name on the display case fer me at the Detroit Autorama in 1991.
  5. 1967 Cobra CSX3243...from the 1976 movie Gumball Rally.
  6. Haven't shaken a paint bottle fer many years, been using a paint mixer. Works perfectly, no mess, no fuss.
  7. Thank you fer yer comment, I used Slixx decals.
  8. FYI...the Revell Charger front suspension is not accurate. For some reason Revell fergot the "Strut Rods" when they tooled the Charger chassis. The strut rods are round steel bars that connect to the front of the K member and attach to the lower control arms to prevent them from moving forward or backwards. A coupla pieces of Evergreen rod is a quick fix. This of course is a minor item but if yer tryin to get it right this seems like sumthin you wouldn't want to overlook as the strut rods are an essential part of the front suspension.
  9. The Parts Box in Australia now has the the Last Detail decals. https://www.thepartsbox.com/
  10. Hey Bob, thanx fer yer offer...got it covered though...Norm took care of me and I got a few extra sets fer a coupla customs I have planned. Used em on the Black Beauty kit that Mr. Flintstone gave me...worked out pretty well, painted with "polished aluminum" lacquer and hand painted the black on the spokes. Looking forward to seeing the T-Bird...
  11. How bout a new one? https://www.7fifteenmotorworks.com/
  12. The headlight assembly is taken from the Danbury Mint Doane Spence Roadster diecast. Norm (Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland) cast up these parts for me, finished with Alclad chrome.
  13. Built this one to try out the Alclad candy red paint...not an accurate replica but I had some fun with it. Vintage Johan kit, made a few changes...cut open the rear window, flush fitting windshield and rear window made from clear sheet plastic, rear spoiler blended into body sides, fabricated spoiler extensions, hemi engine and abuncha other stuff. All metal finishes are Alclad.
  14. This probably won't help you much but for what it's worth... The rear wheels in the AMT ZZR are the wheels that I used when I built my Batmobile, they are the correct size and depth and the spokes are also correct (slightly curved). I added a hub to the wheel center and had a friend resin cast them for me. I checked with my friend to see if perhaps he still had the mold but no such luck, it's long gone. I built this Batmobile when it wuz first issued so it's been awhile. Unfortunately the ZZR is a rare and expensive kit but perhaps a fellow forum member may have a wheel to loan or cast a set for you. Like I said this info might not be much help so if someone can do 3d printing for you that will probably be the more practical solution.
