Thanks guys. I found an old MPC 69 Barracuda kit that I had not built. Comparing it with the Duster kit, I think the Duster chassis will work under the old 'Cuda. Since they are both A bodies, it would seem a natural swap to replace the old MPC one piece chassis with the much better looking Duster chassis. I'm sure it will take some minor cutting, but I think that is the next project. I'm off to the hobby shop to get another Duster kit. Jim

Thanks everyone for the feedback and suggestions. I decided to go with the AMT '71 Duster. Built out of the box and painted with the basic Testors enamels. It is a nice kit. Everything seemed to fit as intended and it came with some very nice decals. It's not a contest model by any stretch, but it was a fun kit to get reacquainted with the hobby. I feel a '70 Cuda in my future;-) Thanks again. Jim

Thanks folks. I'm lucky in that I do have a pretty good LHS near by. I just haven't checked out the model cars in a long time. Got into RC flying a while back and, well, you can guess how that story goes;-) I think the Revell '70 Cuda kit may be calling me. I had a 70 Cuda in my younger days. The old MPC 70 Cuda kits were hard and expensive to come by, I never got to build a model of my car. I think this will be my starting point. JB

Hi folks. I haven't built a model car in a couple of decades. Lately I've been thinking of picking up a kit or two and building again. I'm an old late '60s early '70s MOPAR guy so I thought I'd ask what good MOPAR kits are out there these days? Thanks JB

Thanks, I'll check them out. Jim

Is there anyone doing custom plating of plastic parts? Not for a car, but I am working on a 1/8 scale RC P-51 I would like to have a few parts chrome plated. Any suggestions? Jim
