Thanks guys. I will be doing it as a fire truck. -
no sweat,,ill just throw it back in my stash
-
Bill... great looking build. Very nice job on it.
-
Thanks for finding the kit and sending the photos, but I have decided to go a different path with my project. So I won't be needing the Buick after all. Thanks again for your time. Terry

Just shows what can be done from a pile of discarded kit parts...... never throw anything away! Nicely built model car Johnny. David

Bob Shelton's resin hard top is luscious and was a point of passion for him. Built model and photos compliments of forum member Dr Plastic (Scott A. Bregi). Shown on the Monogram chassis.

Looks really nice, particularly from what you started with.
-
That looks really nice. Great job!
-
looks great!

I won't even dignify that with a response. I know there are those in the cheap seats who thought all I do is spew out suggestions, tips and observations without having ever built anything. I spend a lot of time working on masters for 1/35 military vehicles for an AM caster in the Czech Republic, if you must know. Two words for them that questioned me bona fides and they rhyme with "sprue too".
-
You put a lot of work into this one. Great job!
-
Man, don't get me started on over-hyped and too expensive.
-
Forgot a reference photo with some interesting info.

I'm not a fan of convertibles, but your model neatly does away with the funky looking roof of the AMT '67 Impala, making this the most accurate looking model from that kit I've ever seen. Well done and model on!
-
Sfan, I do believe this is the first time I've ever seen you post a model car. So you DO build!

Thanks for the continued interest everyone. I got tired of all these little engine pieces lying on my bench waiting to get lost. So I finished the engine assembly to get the creative juices flowing. Hopefully more to come soon, I'm liking the progress. Thanks for looking.

Yeah, I know, I've been very schizophrenic lately when it comes to getting going on a build & continuing with it, but I think I've finally found one, or I should say, a couple that I'm pretty excited about. After disassembling an old built-up Johan '63 Dodge Polara convertible that I had, I started to look it over & the juices began flowing again. Then I remembered a '63 Plymouth Fury that I acquired in a trade with Bill, (gtx6970) and I thought that I had waited long enough. Once I started to fool around with it a little, the excitement began to rise & now I think that I'm committed........ Hopefully! I started messing with some parts swapping from the Lindberg '64 Plymouth kit, & before I knew it, I was propelled head long into a full chassis swap. To my surprise, the '64 chassis dropped in fairly nicely with a little grinding & shuffling & the engine bay parts look like they will work very nicely as well. The only issue is the wheel base. The '64 is a little longer than the '63, but with a little rear spring shortening, everything should go together very well. Now I'm beginning a search for a 426 with the cross ram engine. Can anyone tell me what engines are included in the AMT '64 Lawman kit & the '64 Color Me Gone Dodge. I'm thinking that being as I have several '63 & '64 Johan Mopars to build in the hopefully near future, that it might be worth the expense for me to purchase a couple of these kits to raid for chassis & engine parts. Also, does anyone know if the Belvedere & Dodge 330 kits have the same wheel base? It would save a little work if the 330 was a little shorter for my '63s. Steve

I'm using a jar of MCW 1957 Chevrolet/Corvette "Coppertone". Strangely enough it's the same code & color name as what was available for the '63 Plymouth! Steve
-
Very nice Tommy.
-
That is a great color on the SS Camino's! Something about them in white just grabs you! But then I'm a sucker for any Elcamino. I've owned 2. A 59 and a 77!

Very nicely done.Great details! I can hear those air lines hissing.
