Very realistic finishes Dann - nice.

Thank you very much for the comments gentlemen, they are greatly appreciated. As for whats next, I have a few in various stages of completion that I need to finish: '64 Falcon T/A '71 Hemi Baracuda AC Ace Bristol

Excellent work Alix.

The Revell Hemi Cuda kit bashed with a few parts from the old Monogram 1/24 AAR kit and a bit of scratch building to create a replica of Dan Gurney’s ’70 Trans-Am ride. The just released Power Slide decals are excellent and really helped lift the end results of this build as did Fireball Modelworks’ Minilite wheels. The build thread:

Michael's carries them in the art supply section. I use them after paint.

Here is MOPAR chassis reference in case anyone missed it.

Stunning work Tim.

This was great info so I made it a thread - hope you don't mind.

Mopar Engine Colors Through The Years with the Mopar numbers: Black - Mopar P4120753 1981-up 2.2L engines 1983-up 318 and 360 engines All production Jeep engines Race Hemi Orange - Mopar P4120751 (A bright orange color) 1962-1964 Max Wedge engines (413 and 426 Cross Ram) 1964-1965 426 Race Hemis 426 Race Hemis Street Hemi Orange - Mopar P4349216 (A reddish orange color commonly referred to as "Hemi Orange." 1966-1971 426 Street Hemis 1969-1971 High performance 383 and 440 engines 1970-1971 340 engines Turquoise - Mopar P4120752 (Medium blue-green color) 1962-1971 All B/RB big blocks. 1969 LA 340's. Red - Mopar P4349218 (Bright red color) This "red" color is NOT THE SAME as the "red" that MP sells, nor does commercially available (Krylon, Plasti-Cote) "Chrysler Red" paint match the original Slant-6 red color. NAPA sells an exact match of the slightly orangish red used on some 1960-1969 Slant 6 engines. It is NAPA Farm equipment spray paint, International-Harvester Red, made by Martin Senour. Late 1960s Poly 318 engines and Slant 6 engines 1964-1969 All 273 engines 1967-1969 LA 318s 1968 340s Blue - Mopar P4349217 (Medium blue color) 1972-1983 All production engines except the 2.2 1969-1972 LA 318s 1969 340s Blue - (No Mopar number) (Color code never appeared in manuals) Slightly darker than the standard blue used on the 70's LA engines. Paint also turned Turquoise with heat. Even Galen Govier does not have a spec for mixing. This paint was used on a lot of 340' and other LA engines in late 69. Most restorers use Blue Mopar P4349217 (above) to repaint and the judges agree. Yellow - Mopar P4529144 Mid 1963 to mid-1969 Slant 6 truck engines ONLY Aluminum Silver - Mopar P4529148 Most 1940s to early 1960 engines, including most of the early Hemis and 1950s Poly engines were painted this color. Silver was also used on all the flathead 6's except that the performance option in the 30's included a high compression head that was painted bright red. Gold Metallic - Mopar P4529149. Used from the late 50s and early 60s "Golden Lion" engines "Golden Commando" engines DeSoto "Adventurer" engines

Nice work Patrick.

Impressive build and weathering.

Thanks Jay, Yea I liked the 12-spokes too but I’m happy with the American Racing wheels. Yes “AFX” is reference to the Aurora slot cars, I’ve loved them since I was a kid. As for the Trumpeter kit, there are usable parts in the box but be prepared to put effort into it if you chose to build it. For instance: While the chassis worked great on my ‘61 gasser, it’s a very poor example of the 1:1 chassis. I used a Revellogram Mustang chassis on my ’64 Trans-Am build. I hate the body out of the box, but with work it can be turned into something. I reworked the body for my T/A build. Modified Mustang chassis: Modified body:

Glad to see this build active again.

Coming along nicely.

A lot nicer than the Mini Exotics kit. I would hope they give you glass though.

Thanks Dann & Jason. Decals are finished, just have a few small details to complete before I can post more pictures.

Looks like the start of a great project.

Great score Brizio. Would love to have this kit.

Very nice work Roger.

Looks like a great project David.

Very nice George.

Great work William, have you tried looking for another resin caster? I would be interested in a kit if it was offered. My primary build focus is race cars.

Thanks Mike.

I've bought from them - great stuff, no probelms.

The Johan snap kit has the hood which is cast integral with the body. Pretty sure someone offers that hood in resin. Might also have the correct door panels.
