It appears that I was wrong about the hood ornaments. Each kit has only one. I guess I was thinking of the Johan '63 Plymouth Fury kit. That has a pair, but unfortunately, they are a different style. You could always steal one from the Lindberg '64 Belvedere kit. There's not a lot of difference between the '64 and '67 ornaments.

I can bug you later if I need another Mopar engine.......Which I no doubt will! Seriously, thank you for the offer Brad! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) On 3/21/2019 at 9:24 PM, StevenGuthmiller said: Yes they did. I have several old "flat box" Johan kits, including the '65 Fury, a '64, '66 and '67 Fury, a '67 Chrysler 300 and a '64 Dodge Polara. You'll likely never see any of these again! Steve Excellent collection. At one time or another, I had all of those kits. I still have some of them in the collection waiting to be built. Right now I am restoring a 66 Chrysler 300 hardtop I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Its missing a seat, seatback, and steering wheel. I think I have some of The pieces I need, if not, I'll have to find something. Your Spanish Red 66 300 is the inspiration behind this one. I haven't decided on the color yet..

Steve They did have the same backs, and I have those kits, but no cushions or seat backs. I can put an engine together from what I have.

If it's any indication, Model Roundup has one for sale in their "vintage vault" for $349.90! Boy! I'm glad that I got mine when I did!

Must be this one: Another seller currently has a resin kit for $100 less than that - Don't know about the quality, but at least it's out there. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Plymouth-Fury-Hardtop/401768473770?hash=item5d8b4464aa:g:WfsAAOSwrPZcn85r Edited June 4, 2019 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm really surprised at how the clear coats brought out the color of this paint! I can't say as I've seen this much of a transformation before. It's definitely turquoise now! 5 coats of Duplicolor clear on and ready for polishing. I'll paint the vinyl top black once the polishing is finished. Steve Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I had said $160+) If it were stone original (nothing started) it might have gone even higher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Still managing to make some slow progress on this project. I spent a good portion of the day detailing the firewall! But now it's done except for the master cylinder and maybe a decal or two. This is what I started with. This is the finished product.
