StevenGuthmiller Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks a bunch everyone! For the record, this kit came from the box with the vinyl top texture molded in. I did nothing more than paint it black. Steve Edited July 27, 2019 by StevenGuthmiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that this kit only came in one form, a single issue, was never re-popped and they were all molded in gold plastic. I have never seen anything to suggest otherwise.

Bucky Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 There were promo Dodges available in other colors: I believe you're right about the glue kit being molded in gold, only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryR Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 OH MAN! I built one in 66, candy green black top! long gone. I have three of these I got in a parts bin, missing lots of parts! I THINK I got what I needed from Modelhaus before they quit, not sure! I really dig this model, UNUSUAL and you did an outstanding great job!

Later on, I found a bunch of gluebombs in a '65 Monaco box. So, I have plenty options for when i get ready to tackle the gold plastic!

A VERY clean rebuilder with only the top painted and UNBROKEN pillars. Seems as though that was a weak spot for those as the kit aged. A lot of times if I see these on the 'Bay built, the pillars are busted. Now when I'll get to building mine is anyone's guess...........
