'70 Grande

I am looking to trade for the following front suspension pieces, radiator and firewall pieces from the 1/25 AMT/Round2 1967 Ford Mustang kit. These same pieces can be found inside the '67 Shelby GT350 kit and/or multiple reissues of each of these kits. Lower front suspension Piece #20 Front wheel spindles Pieces #21 & 22 Tie rod Piece #23 Radiator Piece #49 Firewall Piece #45 These pieces can be fresh-from-the-tree or from a built-up if in good, restoreable condition. I am not interested in a complete kit; just these parts. I have a fairly extensive parts box to trade from; I am located in Illinois. Thanks!

...and the tinted glass that was so dark you could hardly see thru it!

I'm still watching!

Mike, I'm sorry. When I read your post title, I overlooked the word Daytona and thought you were looking for a Charger kit. For that reason, I thought your request was too vague, and I responded in what I thought would be a helpful way. I was wrong for posting what I did. I'm publicly offering you my apology here Mark

Excellent build! I'm just starting this kit and have been doing a bit of 1:1 research. The kit's instruction book says to paint the engine block a metal color but I've also seen 1:1 pics showing a large variety of different engine block colors. Was curious if anyone has any info about 1:1 engine block colors for Land Rovers of this era? In some of my research, it almost looks like the factory painted the engine block in the same paint color used on the body... is that a possibility?

1/16 scale? 1/24 scale? 1/25 scale? 1/43 scale? 1966? 1967? 1968? 1969? 1970? 1971? 1972? 1973? 1974? 2005? 2006? 2018? 2021? I'm not trying to be a "smart-a__" here, but your description doesn't really "say it all". Please provide as many details as you can whenever making a Wanted post... I don't think it's possible to provide too much information about what you are seeking... and pictures are extremely helpful, too! Thanks

Everything looks terrific on this build, but I especially applaud your spark plug wiring... it looks so 1:1 and I will be referring back to your engine pic every time I start wiring an engine for one of my own builds!

Really like the new box art, but one thing that looks a bit "off" in the illustration to me is how close that front bumper is to the body and grill... the 1/1's front bumper extends forward quite a bit farther than it appears in this nicely done artwork.

Nice build... especially when accomplished in 24 hours! I started thinking about where I would start if I were to attempt a build in 24 hours, and I can't answer my own question! Did you start with painting major components, like the body, interior tub, chassis? Then, while those are drying start on the engine and wheels? Anyone who's done a 24 hour build, help me understand your method!

Stunning work here! Your modifications, detail, paint and weathering work are all exceptionally good. I have always wondered what motivated the truckers of the day to nickname these "Crackerboxes"... curious if it was just the way these cabovers felt like after logging a few hundred miles in one or if there's more to that nickname.

Two outstanding builds! I often rate how much I like a build based on a question I ask myself, "How much would I like to have that model as a 1:1 parked inside my garage?" About 3-6 times a year, I see a build where the question's answer would be a resounding, "Yes!" I gotta say "Yes!" to that little White beauty you've posted here!

Really like this build! Where did you get the tires for this build; did they come in the Moebius kit?

Hopefully some pics tomorrow from the DAAM show. I see where the hardtop is being listed at some retail sites as having a trailer with it... wondering if it'll be the same trailer that was inside the convertible kit or maybe a different trailer?

Stunning build... simply stunning!

SteveG: Any updates regarding the upcoming '68 Coronet Hardtop release; can we still expect release in March/ April 2024?

Funny timing for me as just last night I started cutting the lower rear quarter panels out of a 65 El Camino body to graft into my 65 Chevelle AWB body to get it to a standard wheelbase.

Got my '65 Chevelle AWB Funny Car kit delivered a few days ago. FYI: I decided to remove the chrome treatment on several of the engine parts and used my usual Easy-Off oven cleaner stripping method that works every time for me. On this kit, the chrome came off as usual, but the layer beneath the chrome stayed on the parts as a gooey residue that took a lot of extra effort to remove and in some deep recesses on the parts never came completely clean. Just wanted to provide this heads-up.

Stunning build... simply spectacular!

"Sad mouth" cars... never heard that one before and it made me belly-laugh, too!

Great looking build! I have this same kit just started, so I'll be revisiting this post frequently to steal some of your added details for my own build... thanks!

A work of art; simply spectacular! Most convertibles I see with their top in the up-position look a bit awkward to my eyes, but I really like the look of your build with the top up; it looks terrific either way!

Really like this build! I'm curious how you did the headlights as they look terrific in your photos, (or are they just the kit chrome and the photography lighting makes them look so good)?

This is an impressive build to me! Your interior looks excellent has well! I'm curious about that detailed hood ornament and the Cadillac emblem on the trunk lid; how did you do those so crisply?
