mredjr Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) It is not on the bench yet but it is next and soon. I just wanted to tell you about it. I bought it from Dean's Hobby Stop a sealed kit. As soon as I opened the package I took the kit out and with my fingers crossed opened the kit, molded in white with beautiful chrome. I think this is as nice of a kit as I have ever had and can't wait to build it. I have had 3 or 4 unbuilt kits but none as nice as this one. I am going to build it show room stock except I am going to use the wire wheels from the 55 Chrysler which was an option. I am not sure what color to paint it but most likely 2 tone.

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Great Elvin! & I'm glad to hear you're going to keep it intact & build it stock. Nothing makes my heart ache more than seeing one of these obsolete kits chopped into some unrecognizable custom. Lots of great colors on the '60 Mopars! Take a look at "Russet Red". I've always liked that color. The wire wheels are a great choice too! I've done several early 60s mopars with Modelhaus wire wheels I've always been a sucker for that look. Both my '60 & '61 New Yorkers utilized the Modelhaus wires. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Wire wheels is a good choice for man cars, and the '60 Desoto is a great choice for your upcoming build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I painted and foiled this one in the 90's, then forgot I had it until I found it in a closet and finished it a couple of years ago. It's a nice simple kit that looks great when finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) This one has been a grail kit for me for a long time. I'm just not willing to pay the prices they have been going for on ebay. Looking forward to seeing your build. Edited May 30, 2015 by Jantrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
