MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Great looking color combination with the Black vinyl rood and trim. Remember seeing a few done like this when they were new, Muscle but with a touch of a luxury look. Great engine detailing.
  2. Great looking color and finish. Like the clean Boss stripes and body trim. Good stance with the wheel & tires filling the wheel well openings.
  3. I agree, to me it doesn't make a business sense for them both to offer the same kit at about the same time. That said AMT did offer a '69 Camaro Convertible kit that was very good for the time it was released. There was a time years ago when Revelle started to offer a '67 Chevelle 396 ss, and AMT came out at the same time with the same style kit. In that case I would say buy which ever one you like since they both turned out well. Do you like the AMT '67 Chevelle ProStreet with stock taillights or the Revell Pro Street version with the custom rear fascia?
  4. As Steve pointed out, the AMT version has some body proportion issues that many would become frustrated with trying to make right.
  5. Sounds like pilot error to me. Tragic for the young children.
  6. This is the Revell '67 Charger as a day 2 car. The suspension has been slightly lowered front and rear. Used the kits wheels with slightly wider tires. Some minor trim removed. The paint is Tamiya TE89 Pearl Blue and TS72 Clear Blue and TS65 Pearl Clear. The trim is all done with Bare-Metal Foil. Both front and rear bumpers have been brought closer to the body and the grill was also set into the body. The interior is done with TS58 Pearl Lt.Blue and semi-gloss clear. The carpet is done with Fuzzy Fur and chrome trim is all foiled. The windows are tinted with a couple of light coats of TS72 Clear Blue. The engine is lightly detailed with spark plug wires, dist., and heater hoses. Removed the chrome from the valve covers and painted them a semi-gloss black. Great kit with no fitment issues.
  7. Great looking paint finish and color. Building a model of past vehicles always brings back a lot of memories. These were some very nice trucks, and the one I owned was a 1500 Extended cab short bed 2wd. Went just over 100k miles before I sold it.
  8. Great looking paint finish and colors. Like the clean body trim.
  9. I agree with the others on your paint work and color. Much more eye catching than the drabber colors sometimes seen on this body style. Like your interior details and materials.
  10. My complements on getting the roof to operate, that is no easy task. Beautiful looking paint finish and two-tone color combination.
  11. Great looking intake manifolds. As to adapters between the carb and intake, they have been around for years. Usually, they were used to mount a carb. with a larger venturi area onto a stock intake manifold. While this may have helped in some cases, you're still trying to put more air and fuel into the engine, but the adapter is offering a restriction of the flow. I'm enjoying watching the way your build is going.
  12. You need to get an old Starters Cannon, like they used to use for starting sailboat races, and see how he likes that. Be sure and get yourself some ear plugs.
  13. Took my wife to see her doctor today for a follow up visit on her knee replacement. After 6 weeks her range of motion has almost returned to normal, and she isn't using her Cain any longer either. She also started driving again this week. Dancing may be a little while away yet.
  14. Great looking Charger. There is a blue one just like this in the neighborhood, can hear him every now and then out on the main street when he leaves his mark.
  15. Thes two should always be displayed together. Thay are both great at representing a real car in different conditions. The rust bucket looks like it might be beyond the point of restoring, and the white one looks freshly redone. Both are well detailed but in different ways. Shows a great range of thought and ability.
