I'm not sure what I paid for the LX notchback body as it was about 9 years ago now. I do recall paying $110 for his 1991 Crown Vic trans kit back in 2018.

Steve... one just popped up on eBay. I can't tell if it's one of Greg's castings, but it looks complete and pretty clean to my eyes. 1990 Resin mustang hatchback Transkit | eBay John

I would like to see a trans kit for the 2008 Dodge Challenger, so I can finally build a 2015 and up version. I know Clearly Scale did a kit a few years back (front and rear facias, hood, interior, etc. IIRC), but it seems this got lost in the shuffle when CS folded and Model Builder's Warehouse took over the line. This is not a dig, it may not be viable for the current business model, but with the Challenger going away and there bring endless trim levels to model, I think a case can be made for an enterprising 3D artist to sell a ton of these. Appropriate facias and hoods (T/A, Hellcat, Widebody) and wheels to round it all out. Everything you need to update the 2008 in one complete package.

Canuck3D Model Parts offers a "Non-SS" conversion kit that includes the base grill, correct front set and full wheel covers for $25.00. Here's the link to the website: Canuck3d - Wylde.ca I've ordered from Wylde several times and have not been disappointed. The shipping from Canada is reasonable as well. You might also try George Bojaciuk, a member here on the forum. George is the US arm of the business and may have these in stock. I've dealt with George as well and have had no issues. Buy with confidence from either!

Dead ringer of a model! See you next month!

Nicely done, Tom... as always. April in NJ? I hope to see you there!

Since the sizing is already figured out, I'd like to throw out yet another single headlight grill option which looks to be from 1988 through 1991. I'll be selfish and say it is for a '88 Chevy Suburban 2500 project I'm noodling around, but this would round out the rest of the "square body" versions you know have available. I'll be buying a few if they become available.

Thank you for filling in the blanks, Dan... perhaps the 5500 chassis cab could be the next version in the A&N lineup. I'd spring for that one in a heartbeat!

Now that the 3500 is available, might I suggest some "Related Products" that will cover the rest of the HD truck line. Cummins 6.7 diesel kit, 4500/5500 upgrade kit (fender flares and PE markings for hood), and 2-wheel drive front suspension upgrade kit. Just selfishly putting it out there (see LACoFD Squad pic above) to see if I can get any traction from anyone else.

Regarding the underhood decals, I know that Rays Kits (https://rayskits.com/decals/) offers several Dodge sheets (not Coronet-specific) that might be of use. I've ordered several times from Ray (echoxrayniner here on the board) and his stuff is top notch. The next printing deadline is tomorrow the 19th, so you might be able to get in under the wire and order. The underhood decals on the 1:1s are basically the same, so I'm thinking the 1969 Charger set would do the trick. Great job as always, Steve... I'm a Mopar guy through and through, but I truly appreciate your talent regardless of the subject you're modeling. John

Truly appreciate the questions and what you folks are doing! Personally, I would love to see a 4500 cab and chassis so I could finally create an updated Los Angeles County Squad. I believe the emergency apparatus guys would go nuts over that one!

Ditto, Dwayne and Greg... please put me down for two when you start taking orders.

Looking forward to when these will be ready for consumption, Rico... I'll be ordering six sets.

Actually... these hub caps come as part of the 1963 Mayberry 4 door sedan resin trans kit. If memory serves, this is an older Hendrix piece that is still available through Star Models. You might want to send Steve an email (SteveKohler@cox.net) and see if he can cast just these caps for you. They look pretty good! In the mean time, all of us who have a love of anything with "poverty caps" can keep hoping the 3D printing crowd jumps in to help.

Mike... While I responded to your first post regarding the resin sedan delivery body; I'll answer the question posed above here: hell YES I'll be at the NNL East on the 27th. I haven't missed a year since 1990 and I'm certainly not going to start now. I split me time between the resin vendors and the Emergency Vehicle modelers in the back row. Hope to see you there! John

I would be interested in these as well; I have several police car projects that require the steel wheel/small hub cap set up pictured above. Whether resin or 3D printed, I would be ready to purchase several sets.

To add to what Ricky wrote above, Star Models also has a '56 Sedan Delivery. This looks to be about 80% of where you want to be as the roof height and door placement are the same as mentioned earlier. Cut out the panels for the rear windows and finesse the trim to accurately reflect that of the 210. Use the 'Nomad kit for the chassis and running gear. I would shoot Steve an email to see if it is still available: SteveKohler@cox.net.

Star Models still has this one in their catalog: http://www.resinrealm.net/Star/STAR Models/56_Chevy_210_4dr_Sed.html You might want to send Steve an email and see if he still has this in stock. I ordered mine from him about a year ago.

$6.00 for exactly what you see above. Fireball is one of the best out there today, buy with confidence. http://www.fireballmodels.info/

Dwayne... I'm sure I'm already on the list for one of these Novas, but I thought I'd double-check now that the master is almost finished. And you can also add my name for the '73 Chevy. Oh... and the LeMans Enforcer. And any other police car/4 door sedan that manifests itself from your brain into resin from now to eternity. Your stuff is amazing!

What Tom said X2!

Here are two that I built about 18 years ago. Still holding their own in my showcase and representative of my favorite TV shows growing up. 1972 LACoFD "Squad 51 from "Emergency!" and the 1969 Plymouth Belvedere from "Adam-12."

I received this book via Amazon late last Saturday and had completely read it from cover to cover by Tuesday night. Tim, a fantastic job on an extremely detailed and thoughtful presentation of the muscle car kits I lusted after during my childhood (and quite frankly, still do). And a special "thank you" for your candid observations on which versions to purchase and more importantly - which to avoid - when trying to model a specific version or showroom stock replica. This information alone is worth the price of admission and I highly recommend everyone pick up this book and treat it as the invaluable tool it will be as you research future projects. Kudos to Tim and all the books contributors for your continued service to the hobby, this book is IMPRESSIVE!

Excellent work on the interior (as well as the rest of this master), Dwayne. Since it sounds like you will be casting this one too down the road, I will ask to be added to the queue promising to purchase two kits when they are finished and available. Why stop with the '88-'91 Crown Vic!

Try the following site: http://magister-plasticum.com/ 3D printed masters and resin cast product. They are out of Portugal, but I ordered the '77 & '78 Plymouth grill and headlights and was pleasantly surprised by both the overall quality and the quick delivery time. You can order the '75 & '76 single round headlights and finagle the '77 grill to add the parking lights, etc. (or find a builder '75 Roadrunner and steal the grill). Much better than what is posted above. As mentioned earlier, I know Missing Link offered a '76 Plymouth Fury 4 door trans kit at one time (I have one); you might want to PM him through this forum and see if he still offers the kit, or perhaps the grill and lights.
