I'll find them.

just give me a few days.

We are hip  deep into a house remodel . And model cars are LOW priority at the moment .

Planning to put it up for sale the next few weeks and move to sunny Arizona

Oooo!

I don't envy you in the least!

Been there, done that just last spring!

Except, like a dope, I waded deeper into the frozen tundra! :rolleyes:

Take your time Bill.

The '63 Dodge will be coming up, but I've really had my eye on the '63 Plymouth that I traded off of you a while back.

I was contemplating the same wheel treatment on that one, but I'm beginning to think of going a little more "street racer" with that one and going with some fatter tires & some bare steelies.

Still thinking about it, but I've already begun prepping the body, finding an engine, & picking a color.

I think I've decided on something along the lines of "Coppertone".

man, I did not know those caps were in that kit. looks like Steve has cornered the market. those dog dish caps have been a hot item, model wise, as well as 1:1.

good luck with the selling of the house and the move Bill.... and if you come of with more than 2 sets, send the rest my way!! hehe...

the Copper looks amazing on those  cars.

To be honest I dont think I've ever seen a Dodge in Copper.

But have seen a few Plymouths that color and it looks AMAZING

Yup, going with copper on the Plymouth.

The Dodge will most likely be black with a red interior.

Looks like the copper wasn't an option on the '63 Dodge.

I love that copper color. I wanted to paint my Moebius 1965 Satellite Code H Copper. So far 3 failed attempts in getting it mixed, each time it comes out different, but always an ugly shade of brown, not the Pinkish/reddish Copper colors you see in the pictures above.

I'm using a jar of MCW 1957 Chevrolet/Corvette "Coppertone".

Strangely enough it's the same code & color name as what was available for the '63 Plymouth!

Thanks, I may try MCW. Interesting that the Corvette and Plymouth used the same color.
