Here are a few pictures I snapped from the MCACN (www.MCACN.com) Model Car Contest last weekend.  The CARS In Miniature crew did another great job with the contest and Revell Make & Take!

The idea behind this project is to amass a reference library containing reference photos of Muscle Car era Mopars, to aide in replicating and model car building.  I've found that when I get into a project I spend a large amount of time searching through personal photo galleries and online sources like google and eBay trying to find pictures of specific detail items that are generally hard to locate.  My hope is that this database might save others just a little bit of time, or provide material that might be hard to find otherwise.  Please note, pictures contained herein are those that I've taken personally, saved from eBay auctions, or images from other online sources.  If you find errors please email or PM me and and I will correct.

My thought is that this will be an organic site, with new pictures and information being added as I run across it.

I just sprayed some '1832M Blazing Black', which on the cap is depicted as a solid black, however in reality is a metallic.  I now presume the "M" in the part number stands for Metallic?

What annoys me is that there were 2 choices, one labeled as Metallic, and this one.  I chose this because there is no mention of metallic, and it definately is just solid black on the cap.

Looks like I'm back to Duplicolor on this build...

Is it possible I got a mislabeled can, or are they all metallic?  The reason why I ask is because I have 5 other colors, and I just realized every one is very heavy metallic.

I entered as a kid, but haven't been back to the show in several years.

I looked on their site but there is no mention of it...

I've been tinkering with trying to make an up top from te AMT challenger roof, but it isn't looking right. Anything out there already?
