    I would be interested in learning more about that method.

    1967 Lindberg Oldsmobile 442

    I found out why it's important to look at references: I am trying to figure out where to put the heater hoses. Every car or truck I've ever owned, 2 Fords and 4 Chevy's, had the upper heater hose exit at the front of the intake manifold. Apparently the 442 was routed out the back of the...

    1967 Lindberg Oldsmobile 442

    Another omission I noticed was the absence of a battery, but quickly learned the battery was relocated to the trunk in order to accommodate the scoop intake through the front grill on the W30 model. Working on the wires still, and adding those tiny looms to the wires was a pain! The only thing...

    '71 'Cuda Revell and Gloss Grape build

    Tried a bit of adjustment to show it more purple. Original was florescent lighting. Might have to try it outside tomorrow in natural light lighting

    '71 'Cuda Revell and Gloss Grape build

    Sorry to any fans of the grape, but I wasn't plum crazy (pun intended) as to the color I put on the "Cuda. The box art shows a photo of a very dark purple body color, and the kit call out for Revell #54 Gloss Purple. (Of course it calls for a Revell color, it's a Revell kit!) Anyway, my LHS has...

    1967 Lindberg Oldsmobile 442

    Also looking at the future build of the '71 442. Trying to figure out a color. Compare the box art color which looks pretty nasty to me. The green spoon on the right is which is what Revell color the kit calls out for, which is #61 gloss emerald green, which nowhere even close to the box art. ...

    Received the coils and a small fret of PE straps. The coils are turned aluminum. and I already have painted one. Sorry for the out of focus. Didn't notice until I uploaded it.

    '70 Ford Torino COBRA - Revell

    Don't worry about the dust specks. You never see them until the camera lights them up.

    1967 Lindberg Oldsmobile 442

    I went back through the kit instructions and found no mention of the coil. I finally found a photo online showing the coil positioned to the left of the distributer, So I ordered a set of two made by Detail Masters from Ebay. I also examined the '71 Revell version I have and it did indeed...

    1967 Lindberg Oldsmobile 442

    Not a bas idea, but I don't think I have anything to use. In the meantime, besides painting on that purple 'Cuda every night, I got back to the Oldsmobile. I have been cutting pieces off the thicker provided wire to manufacture ignition boots. I already have the fortune of owning a set of Klein...

    '71 'Cuda Revell and Gloss Grape build

    The work so far has taken is the entire contents of the 1/4 oz. bottle. Don't know if I want to continue with the older Grape "Pearl" or head to the LHS. Think I'll grab a couple of new "Grape" so I stay consistent.
