  1. Chris, a set of full wheel covers for a 67 Mustang is not out of the world. You mean this set? If I remember corretyl I've seen it as resin parts recently. Can't remember the caster/printer, though. As for the 58 Ford, this is too much effort for me, sorry. I haven't investigated yet, but from my head there would be several parts needed. Headlight pods, hood, hood center emblem, grille, bumpers, taillights. You would still have to convert other details on the body and the interior. Much work is involved.
  2. Chuck, that's a wonderful build! For anyone looking for correct alloy wheels, I have them available in my shapeways-shop. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/basement-resin
  3. New item: 1968/69 AMC Javelin and AMX engine bay. Includes the four "walls" as one piece, plus separate parts for radiator, blower motor, master cylinder, wiper motor. The last two pictures show the parts "as printed", with runners. The shape is correct for 1968/69 Javelin and AMX and is designed for the Johan kits. The parts will work with the 1970 model year (and maybe even 1971 to 74) as well but wouldn't be correct. The shock towers changed for 1970, among other smaller things. If you want to use the kit chassis, the front inner wheel wells need to be removed. Expect a little adjustment work on body and chassis.
  4. For those who haven't taken a look into my shop. I have a few other items for sale, not just wheels. -69 SC/Rambler grille. The kit has a 66 grille as it was based on the 66 annual -Chevrolet tailgate for converting the GMC 1/25 kit -Enduro wheels for the parts pack motorcycles -White 4000/9000 grill. You will have to source a hood to convert a Diamond REO or similar into a White -Chevy truck hubcaps/hubs for use with the 16" wheels in my shop (the same wheels as used for my Dodge truck caps) Slowly expanding...
  5. Yes, they are. Look into my shop, link is in the first posting.
  6. I have stock 71-73 Cougar full wheel covers in my Shapeways shop. Look for basement resin. Delete my post if not allowed...
  7. Here is a model of my 71 Super Bee that I finished early this year. The model shows the options (and condition) as she looked like when new.
  8. I always wondered what happened to this tool. This was the last issue of the 61 Starliner/Sunliner.
  9. The AMT 69 Cobra hardtop kit utilized a separate (glue-on) roof to make a notchback out of the 68 Torino GT convertible (pace car). Modelhaus offered the 68 with molded on roof of the 69 Cobra to create a 68 notchback but didn't modify anything else. In my opinion it - and also the AMT 69 Cobra version - had severe proportional problems in the roof area. The quarter window shape is not captured well, and the rear window is slightly recessed on the original car, like on a 67 to 70 Cougar. It was unfortunately completely ignored by AMT back then and looks flat and square. I have a Motor City body for the 69 Cobra hardtop. That one is better, but still needs a lot of work to please my critical eyes. In short - in my opinion Round2 would need to modify the body considerably if they plan to bring a hardtop 68/69 Torino. I would applaud if they do, I really like these cars. Same for the 68/69 Cyclones, I agree. They are a huge gap in 1/25. Just my opinion...
  10. For a future release of the 71 Charger I'd beg for separate grille/bumper parts. The grille is a pain to paint. Same in the rear. Both front and rear bumpers include the grille/taillight assemblies.
  11. I've got a bunch of Johans, but this one is the only recently built (and presentable) one.
  12. My older versions of the 64 Dodge 330 has the Slant 6 and the 383 engines. The 383 was used as a 426 Max Wedge in the drag versions, AFAIK.
