1964 Pontiac chassis color
BubbaBrown replied to djflyer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Those cars had frames, so the body would be built and painted in a different area than the frame. To the best of my knowledge the frame was painted chassis black, a semi gloss. The underneath of the body would be primer. But its been along time so I might be wrong. -

They have different hours, closed Mondays and 1/2 days til sat I think. Don't open until noon or later but I'm an old man with bad memory. -
another air brush question.
BubbaBrown replied to cobraman's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Well if you are really cheap auto parts stores sell a thing called Pre-Vail, not sure of spelling but you might want to check it out. No air brush, no compressor. -
Is "Brite Touch" primer any good?
BubbaBrown replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I agree with the above two, also it smooths as it dries. If you get a booger in normal primer like dupli-color or whatever brand you have a booger when its dried. With Tamiya don't panic let it dry and when you come back booger gone, amazing, the only primer I know will do this. Pricey yes but no foul ups and worth the money. -
Revell 1963 and 1962 Impala question
BubbaBrown replied to berr13's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yes there was a modeling book one about the 50's and another about the 60's very well done and money well spent to purchase.I can't remember the author maybe Bill Coulter (spelling ?). The 60's book did just what you want to do. -

1964 Plymouth Savoy lightweight questions
BubbaBrown replied to Brutalform's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Dodge and comparable plymouth models had different wheelbases. Drove Landy crazy why his 63 plymouth was faster than the 64 dodge. figured the shorter wheelbase was hookin better. thus the first funny car 1964 awb dodge. in 1964 one could get a11.5 to 1cr 426 at 415hp, any full size body all steel full interior any color no hood scoop. the engine to race was the 09 code 425hp max wedge available any full size body all steel full factory interior no hood scoop. the lightweight package code y9 was only available with engine code o9 and had aluminum fenders,fender wells hood and scoop lower valance radiator support bumper and brackets, some parts acid dipped,no carpet insulation sound deadener heater radio battery moved to trunk 1964 interior color red only, hemi code A864, 1965 code changed to A990 with interior color champaign only tho Mopar did not call it that .1964 was the last year for aluminum, they then started acid dipping alot more in 1965. I hope I was of some help -

1967 - 69 Camaro Wire Wheel Covers?
BubbaBrown replied to crowe-t's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think one of the 1966 442's had wire wheel covers, it would be pretty hard to make out the center cap. -

'74 Vega Bruce Larson USA-1_FYI Reissue Update
BubbaBrown replied to 69NovaYenko's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I won't hold my breath, the 1964 Plymouth they kept showing at shows took 7 or maybe 9 years to get made. We have been hearing and seeing this on their website since 2016 so I figure sometime after 2020. -
I'm sure I read somewhere that the AAR and TA only was available in 5 different colors only, and no black. Anybody else ?

Dyno Don Interior colors ?
BubbaBrown replied to BubbaBrown's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks again guy's. there was a difference with color on models, 202, 404 or the fancy one and if they were cloth and vinyl or all vinyl. Blue beige and black was available on anything, the 404 all vinyl you could get red and palomino also.This thing does not have to be a museum piece, probably just go with black unless I find something certain. Again Thank You, Bubba -

eBay Duster listing.
BubbaBrown replied to Brutalform's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If I remember correctly there was a 1/24 die cast of this subject. The people were at all the shows years back, I think there was a jenkins car and sox and martin and maybe the motown missle. They were pretty nice. -
1967 Camaro engine color
BubbaBrown replied to porschercr's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The only red I am aware of was some v8s in 1956, the rest for decades was chevy engine orange. Our eyes may perceive something different, and photographs may show something different and remember these were not masterpieces.
