Thanks for this info Michelle. I guess if I score the front and rear body parts, I can live with the 68 interior.

I decided to build this car for myself. I haven’t heard from my friend since he originally contacted me. Not too concerned with the ram bar, or the wheels, as Fireball has both of those. I have a sealed 68 kit, but I’ll still need the front and rear body parts. Is the 68 interior the same as the 69? If not maybe Bill might still have those parts?

The only problem there, is MCG details will add another 20 plus dollars to a new kit, that, IMO, should have the molded scripts done correctly.

I pre ordered mine ( K code) from an online hobby source. I should have ordered from eBay. I thought I’d save a few bucks, but actually what I paid is in line with the eBay prices, with shipping. And I still didn’t receive mine yet. I already bought the touring kit over a week ago from eBay, so at least I have that one.

A fellow member on this board sent me this.

Sometimes a good old toothpick, and some patience will get the job done nicely. Dabbing a toothpick in the color you choose, and tap the excess off, so it doesn’t blob on your work. Also using a water based acrylic works fantastic, because if you do mess up, you can easily clean it up and start over.

Another rock icon is gone. Rolling Stone just reported that Ace has passed at 74. After a fall, he had brain bleed and was on life support. Sad day for Rock And Roll. I’ve been a KISS fan since 1975. RIP Ace.

Thanks for the pics Tim. About a year ago, I was in the process of building the AMT 64 Comet into a 427 Super Stock car. But, I traded the WIP for two 55 Chevies. I just might start that build again using either this kit, or the K Code kit. It appears I’d be re working the hood back to a flat hood, and adding a teardrop scoop. Everything else in the pics looks great. I’m waiting for my pre ordered kit to arrive from Wes’s Model Car Corner. I’ll most likely be purchasing another real soon.

These are available on eBay now.

1. Nice save on the paint job. 2. I don’t think the 62 is ugly at all. Very unique looking car to be honest. I have three of these. One white, one yellow, and one red. I like what you are doing with yours, Bill. Sometimes it’s just rewarding to build it how it came, even if the interior is a bit off. All the hacking and putty, sanding etc, gets to be a pain sometimes. Can’t wait to see it finished.

Well, it appears that it is in two carts right now. It doesn’t mean one will actually buy it though. But some people do have more money than brains.

By far, one of the coolest builds I’ve ever seen of these AWB cars. The rear window delete, and the holes drilled in the package tray, all very tastefully done. Very nice!

This is really nice right here. Nice to see other renditions of these cars being built with the decals out there. Fantastic job!

Another fine build, John. Your attention to detail under the hood, is beautiful. IIRC, there is a mention in this kits instructions, to remove a bit of material from the floor pan due to the tight fit. I really enjoy your builds.

Information Overload. Yes, it actually exists. But I’m sure the people that know more than the doctors, and scientists will argue that it doesn’t, because nobody wants to admit that they could possibly not be able to handle all the info their brain has to process.

LOL.

Since he knocked $450 off of it, I was thinking of grabbing it. Looking at the sellers other things, the resin kits they have, aren’t too ridiculously priced. I wonder why this one is?

Maybe add some panel line accent, or some thinned out black acrylic paint to the crevices, so it will make the details stand out?

Actually, many of the parts are identical, when comparing the two manufacturers. Obviously, the bodies, and chrome, glass, etc are different, but the frames, and floor pans, and others are identical. I also have the Arnie Beswick car on my to do list.

The AMT 62 is pretty straight forward, but the Moebius 61 has a front grill fit issue, and the window rails need to be deepened a bit, so the glass fits better than sticking out above the roof. Other than that, pretty straight forward also. Looking forward to more updates. I love them old Ponchos.

Sorry to learn of your loss, Ron. Glad you weren’t injured.

This all depends on the state you live in. Here in Pa, your rates will not go up due to a non fault accident.

Was heading to Gettysburg this weekend with some family, and I saw this on the road. Anyone know what it is? And year? I’m thinking late 1930s? Very cool looking truck.

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
