As far as the kits go, The Cougar, Corvair, Nova and Duster are AMT. The Challengers are old MPC, and the Vette, Firebird GNX and Mustang are Revelogram (Revell/Monogram). Most of the wheels shown are from Pegasus Hobbies (found at a local Hobby Shop) or from other kits (Duster- Testors Smoothster. Vette- 57 Snap Tite). Each kit can be a little different to lower, so I would follow Black's advice. I often have to make new mounting points for front wheels to get them low enough. The green Challenger is an old promo, so I just had to drill new holes for the metal axels. Those are easy ones. You can alo PM me, and if I have the same kit you are working on, I can give you some tips.
For the paint, I do love Tamyia paints, but I use a lot of Duplicolor (they are cheap.). Also, it took me a long time to start using primer, but once I did, the quality improved greatly. And remember, several lighter coats work better then one heavy coat.
Thanks for all the comments.
