Looks good! I like the color.

Not sure. I'd probably check out the nail polish aisle for something close

Moving slow as usual but I did manage to strip some of the chrome bits.

Spotted in Fredericksburg, TX

Looking good! I started a '69 FRC many years ago. I should dig it out and work on it again.

A/C was available on the LT-1 in 1972 only, but they swapped the 6500 rpm tach for the 5600 rpm unit.

Well done!

I have a good friend that has three of these (two coupes and a convertible). He's on the hunt for an SRT model.

Thanks - I've got several renditions of this kit, and I've seen the issues you mentioned. This one has the correct '69 door panels and dash, but all of them have the '68 console with the seat belt buckle indent. The biggest thing I want to correct is the rear window. I'm not sure why it's curved in these kits, as AMT was able to mold the correct flat opening, but I'll address it.

Wow that’s a score. I hit the closest Walmart with kits but those are all 24.97. Maybe your store missed a decimal place ?

it's been a couple of days but I got a Tamiya panel scriber, some redlines for my corvette project, and a set of sovereigns with whitewalls for a lowrider '63 nova wagon

condolences to his family.

nice work!

this is one of my favorite kits. I’m going to build a replica of a car I owned several years ago, but there are a couple of flaws I want to correct. So I’m building this one as practice before I start the replica. I had an L-88 hood in my stash from the ‘68 kit, and the kit already has the intake, carb and air cleaner for this option. i recently purchased the Tamiya panel scriber and tried it out. So far I like it better than using the back of a #11 blade. I still need to make a few more passes on the doors, t-tops, headlight doors and wiper panel but it’s looking good.

I have a set of the Cragars with the Firestones. The lettering is great but the sidewalls are literally flat. I had set of the MIckey Thompsons, and I liked those a lot better. Unfortunately I sold the model I put them on.

Looking good! That color blue pops on it. Looks similar to LeMans Blue

I love these threads. If I recall correctly, my stash was nearly 100 kits at one point, but I'd sell some off every so often if I lost interest or had duplicates, etc. I was down to maybe 3 dozen last year when I moved all my hobby stuff into our shed. I recently moved them all back into the house (the shed was demo'd last week), and was a little surprised to find I'm back over 60 kits. The good news is that I have a dedicated hobby area in the house now, and I've built more kits in the last year than I did in the previous ten years.

For a long time, mine was the Jo-Han pro stock Maverick (any iteration), but I finally built one last year. currently, I'll have to say it's the Revell "Sneaky Pete" Chevy pickup. Hard to find a builder in any sort of decent shape.

The oldest is most likely a Revell '69 Charger I started sometime around 2000, to build a more accurate General Lee. I got the engine built and detailed, and some of the interior. I sanded off the vinyl top, and somewhere along the way mangled the "vents" on the doors. So I got another kit, only to find it was the original issue with the inaccurate roof. I've got all the DOH specific parts to finish it, just haven't brought it back to the bench.

great work!

Saw these on opposite sides of the same intersection

Here's a recent pair, both vintage 1979 MPC kits. the one in the back built like one my dad built for me when I was a kid, and the other with a little more detail

Thanks! I like yours as well. I painted the whole car gold before I painted the Tamiya Candy Lime because I wasn’t sure how well the green would cover.

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted. I put 1970 tags on it. Thanks! Thanks
