  1. The hoods i have are for the amt 1964 kit
  2. I may get one for old times sake I have what I think is the original box version
  3. Ps Said AMT kit has the side trim Be real curious how well the 2 kits can be combined to make nice Caliente. On a side note. did the 1/1 car have underhood duct work to make the scoops functional
  4. I have a Teardrop hood for the AMT kit Wonder how well it fits this new car , if at all I have NO idea when or where i got them, or who made them I have 2 of the AMT kits in the stash
  5. I use Loctite Superglue Ive not had good luck with the cheap brands
  6. Nice, Very well done that captures the look of the actual car I saw this very car back when it was first being built It was a roller with a display only blown 392 hemi in it . That was probably 20 years ago maybe
  7. Ive sold a few ( very few ) over the years but doubt I could claim a profit Ive bought and sold some unbuilt stuff over the years , but 99% of the time it all goes right back in to more kits to build Wash , Rinse , Repeat I do have some old annuals / Drag car kits I plan to sell off. But have serious doubts I'll make a profit on any of them
  8. ps, Ive worked on the back edge a little. And I think its beyond saving and retain the edge mldg thats there BUT after thinking about this a bit , I decided I had nothing to loose , SO . cut the decklid out of a plastic kit body and transfer it to the JF body And sometimes it pays to be frugal ( aka cheap ) As it worked out A LOT better than I expected. When this comes back to the bench I'll finesse the edge / gap a bit. Might even make it an opening trunk ( big step for me)
  9. No worries what so ever. IMO the more we all share . the more we learn Only the JF body has the side trim on mine
  10. MY fingers are crossed BIGTIME it as shown
  11. So is this the version of the 72 Duster thats coming
  12. Both bodies have same exact trim on the back end Just the SMH version is A LOT better. The Flintstone body is very rough cast And I see no way to save it and make it presentable
  13. I bought both mine new via one if his resellers on ebay ( been a few years ) The SMH car came via Ebay thru Southern Motorsports ebay store last year I think You can tell pretty quick whats its based from and both of yours are Lindberg based ( can tell by the missing tail ligh area It will also have the section of the inner fenders for underhood like a Lindberg body does
  14. PM me with your desire trade material
  15. I want to build the Golden Commmandos 1964 Plymouth hemi sedan I have 2 resin bodies here, On the left is a Jimmy Flintstone body.' On the right is I think SMH Resin body which is very VERY nice compared to the so so finish of the JF version. Especially on the rear edge of the decklid The JF is based on the modern Lindberg kit. So all kit pieces work perfectly with it, Including a resin single headlight grill I have on hand Where as the SMH body is Johan based and no way to make said grill fit. without grinding and actually spreading the nose of the body slightly. And that direction requires a lot of work to make all the Lindberg pieces fit the body I had started a conversion of my own. Cutting and pasting the sedan roof from a Lindberg Dodge onto a Lindberg Plymouth Hardtop. The Issue is. The Dodge is ever so slightly wider at the hipline than the Plymouth. Thus requiring A LOT of work . Thus felt a resin body was the better option, But apparently not So I guess my question is Does anyone make a resin sedan body, thats nice . That is modern Lindberg / AMT variant based ?
  16. Oh go ahead , You should jump in the deep end. The early Mopar B bodies have a strong following . I personally like the 63 , over either a 1962 and/or a 64 Dodge I have a couple Johan 63 Dodges on the shelf. Just need to get them down and decide on a path forward Personal preference, if I could , would be a 1964 Fury /Belvedere for a garage mate Red with red bench seat interior. Hemi with a push button auto please if Im dreaming
  17. Thanks for the offer. I'm sure I could come up with an engine/trans for it. Just not sure I want to I'm waiting on a new sheet of BMF to arrive. Before mush else happens But I'll mess with it this weekend to see how I can get a stance closer to the 1 /1 car had
  18. The original car sold on Bring a Trailer earlier this year 1962 Dodge Dart Ram Charger 413 Two-Door Sedan for sale on BaT Auctions - sold for $42,000 on April 22, 2025 (Lot #188,557) | Bring a Trailer
  19. Found this last week and have been wracking my brains on what to do with it. Found it while looking for something else actually. And my mind went to work on what to do with it. I Painted it AT LEAST 12-13 years ago . Best I remember it was a Dupli color rattle can. My mistake was no primer first. Straight lacquer paint on bare plastic. Needless to say, It crazed the plastic. Enough I was disappointed and put it away. So made the decision to see if I couldn't salvage it. Had nothing to lose ,,, so I sprayed some rattle car urethane clear in several light coats . Hoping it wouldn't make it worst. Turns out it layed down pretty decent ( good enough for my case anyway) And has a reasonable shine to it. ( knocks on wood ) So , taped up the interior to add the white accents( brush painted) , then put Tamiya satin clear over it Plan is just some details and in the case it goes. The kits engine is long gone. So,,,I'll make it a curbside and lightly glue the hood down and move on. Im aware the seat pattern as well as even some of the exterior trim is all wrong for the actual car. I think I can live with it
  20. Interior is DONE. Nutting fancy or super detailed. Just Tamiya white primer with a light coat of satin clear on top Duplicolor flat black for the dash with some details picked out with silver paint and a toothpick Elmers clear over the gauges to give it a clear Lense look
  21. Doesnt have to be complete , just enough to build a drag car from it In a perfect world ,THIS version
