  1. I use Ebay on a regular basis And ALWAYS pay with Paypal . It pulls from an account I have setup strictly for Ebay purchases Ive never had a problem in over 20 years ( knocks on wood ) ps, ALWAYS ck the sellers feedback rating
  2. My grail MPC Barry Setzer Vega funnycar I own a mint sealed inside kit as well as a few decent builders Followed real close by the Johan 1969 GTX and the MPC 1968 Color Me Gone Funnycar
  3. Best build of this kit. I've seen yet. One of my all time favorites And i didn't even build it.
  4. The Dave Strickler AFX 1965 Dodge My very first Moebius kitAnd I like it . No real build issues , although getting the glass glued in takes some finesse . But overall pretty easy to go together I actually started this last fall and after having paint gloss issues , shelved it. Until maybe 2 weeks ago. Decided to salvage it best I could. And move on. And looks great in the case Simple and easy straight out of the box build I will be building more of these for sure . Planning ahead I think I want to replicate all 12 of the original Amblewagon built cars I already have the Dick Landy Dodge and Butch Leal Plymouth from older Good Stuff resin kits
  5. Does anyone make the correct intake and/ or aircleaner for that era nascar hemi
  6. Cool. Let's hope an AFX / BFX version is not far behind
  7. Nice. These make great looking race cars
  8. There was. I own one. But it's not for sale though I can get a picture or two later if desired
  9. I would love to have a correct 1968 GTX interior
  10. Adapting any wedge head intake to a hemi is going to be tough due to the angle of the intake to head surface Plus look how the ports layout compared to hemi head Hemi is individual single port Wedge is 2 sets of Siamese ports
  11. The only one I'm familiar with from a kit I think its from the Johan 1969 Roadrunner and maybe others yours if you want one
  12. So far so good. Been pretty much uneventful so far But im being cautious as I'm getting close to the end and all the glass has me worried ps, I tried the Champagne gold and it seemed to light for me where as the Titanium Gold looked dead on , IMO
  13. Ft and rear bumpers for amt 1960 Mercury conv. Saw these on ebay and while back. And with my upcoming build of one I pulled the trigger and bought them Arrived today so naturally had to do a test fit. And happy to report...with some minor enlargement of the attachment holes...they fit perfect This will be next.in line. Very soon
  14. TO get the side glass in , just glue them in and slide interior / chassis in ? Or maybe once chassis is in then slide the side glass in while the ft - rear glass are not in yet ?
  15. Thanks for the laugh. I think the FT + Rear glass will be dead last to add .
  16. I have a single 4 bbl intake for hemi Its yours if you need one
  17. Been working on this one off and on for a few months I had some paint gloss issues and since decided to just clear it with a urethane clear and move on This is my 1st of any Mobeius kits . Nothing to crazy , basically just a stock box build Tamiya White exterior with a couple light coats of Dupli color clear over top of the decals to seal it all in Then Tamiya Titanium gold for the interior mixed with some acrylic tan for the floor of the interior
  18. Agreed 100% BUT,,,, Not all are on the same journey and / or desire to achieve the same exact goal with the end product Using myself as an example. Im after a certain look. Not necessarily 100% dead nuts accurate or correct per say. As long as I look at the finished product and it represents what I had in my minds eye at the beginning. Its Mission accomplished For me The end goal has to please me and me alone. I don't do contests. That said, I will build to the best of my ability and skill level. Im always interested in reading about / trying new methods . As to whether or not I may try said methods all comes down to what I had in mind for the end product. But for me ,,,Mine once done, go in the case and get seen by myself, my family and any visitor that happens to take notice in them.
  19. Update. Found a video of the restored Landy car and it clearly shows the push button shifter he carried over from the 64 car
  20. Oh I like this Are the STS decals a regular stock item or need to be custom made I have a few of these kits and would like to do one of the 67 Landy cars in the near future
  21. I just sprayed the valve covers with actual Rustoluem wrinkle finish paint Then take a hair dryer and warm them up to the desired texture your feel is right Edited I'll add a picture of the actual hemi valve cover Im trying to replicate
  22. Nice, I have this very kit on the bench right now But am undecided if im going to do the Strickler car or go aftermkt and do the Bobby Harrop car , Or dive in and do both ....decisions decisions
