Found this at an antique shop near my house but it's from '96 so not very antique... it's still in the plastic wrapping but I'm still going to build it. I need to build a 510 and I can't afford a real one right now haha

Chuck you sir are keeping this thread alive.

 

Have you ever done any videos on the weathering techniques you use?  Man I would pay turn learn how you do it..

 

This reminds me of a Vegas rat rod builders stuff.

I'm really not much into doing video tutorials- they've pretty much all been done at this point, and I can't stand YouTube's ridiculous upload times (an hour for an eight minute video? What the fuck?).

Are you using the Hair Spray and Salt technique?

When the reissue came out the values of the original kits tanked, but since the reissue was a limited run, prices on it are going up already. So... I basically got an original '72 issue of the 510 for about what I'd currently pay for one of the reissues. Not too shabby.

I've got one of these. How can you tell if it's a reissue?

'97 F-150 I finished a while back then redid with a new grille and bumper, some graphics, and tinted windows.

Well, the original has the 2.5 Challenge Championship Crest and the  Famous Racers logo with Pete Brock. 

 

 

 

The re-issue only has Pete Brock logo 

 

 

I'm not much good at noticing nuances like that.  :rofl:
