This is one of the packs i bought.

Since you dont have a name,dodgefever i would recomend this resin body,it`s thin and nicely cast,the downside is there is no plated parts. I agree Mark,and the 68 imo is very sleek and no non-sense compared to both previous and later models,or a favorite of mine. Taste is subjective of coarse. That is really cool,you are lucky to have the originals,and hopefully we get to see them restored on here. As i expected when i put clear on everything changed,and when the clear is dry i will try to polish the paint seen done by some of you folks on here. Got this kit with pads in diffrent very fine grits,first time for me. Now i have to figure out to try get the engine color correct.

Put on the automotive base today,it`s laid on top of white Tamiya primer and no problem at all. Depending on temprature i can get some clear on it tomorrow. The redlines arrived some days ago,also the vinyl tops from MCG. I have painted steel wheels just in case. The bumpers and grill are in the USA for plating along with a bunch of other bumpers,thanks to a buddy on here. Must admit to be very nervous/excited on how it will turn out with clear. Sorry about late updates,been a lot of trouble with paint and aftermarket parts back and forth,but now i do have everything to complete it so hopefully i will try update more often. I also have several other projects going but i did not bother start a thread on them. Anyway,thanks for looking.

Impressive paint and detail. Rarely or ever see the fuel injection plumbed. Great build.
-
Wow that is wild,it looks really cool and nice choice of colors. I like that you painted the valve covers black.
-
Great looking Skyline.
-
Clean and shiny,very nice Super Bee.
-
Very nice Duster. Really like the color combinations on the interior.
-
Love the box art on the Cobra. -
Yeah 2000 should cover some lifetimes I got one pack of 50 and another with 100,the whole shabang including shipping was less then $2.

Will be using the original chassis on this one. Nice tip on the Impala windshield frame,i do have a donor somewhere. I do plan on using Catalina donor for a 62 Bonneville convertible,but i need two chassisplates to make a nice fit since the Bonneville got longer wheelbase and rear deck then the Catalina.

Many good ideas here. There are tons of these on Ebay,and like $1 dollar for 500 with free ship from China,the problem is i dont know the how many millimeters they are. Did try send some messages if they bother measure
-
Nice project. I swear it look identical to mine built as a kid with the color and all,other then i used the soch engine. Missing Link offers engine compartment.

Cool project. Pretty impressive rod for being designed in the late 40s. Never heard of hes name,it must mean i`m not a hot rod guy. -

Mock up and adjustments are really fun,it looks beautiful. -
Well.i tried add to chart and Model Roundup wanted $28 for First Class shipping,excuse me but that is ridiculous. A similar size 5pack wired distributors from Ebay is no more then $6 for the same shipping method.
-
Some more old "junk". Rough box on the Eldorado,but the kit is very good condition. Was hoping for a 67 but the 68 is close to identical. The other is a 61 Bonneville convertible,i got it reasonable because of the windsheild,another challenge i guess. Now i finally have all 61-64 Bonneville.
-
These are perfect. I`ll take a look at Model Roundup and see if the have in stock. Never heard about Preston before,this is brilliant. Thanks for all the suggestions and tips guys.

Looks very nice Jim. How do i know the correct size for this? If i remember right the fuel lines have the measurement 1,25mm
-
Looks really good. Had some serious fit issues with the hood on mine.
-
Good looking Mustang.
-
x2 Very nice Ferrari.
-
That is pretty cool. If not mistaken Chrysler France did use the 70 Cuda on Le Mans.
-
Good looking build. It is easy to see where the production road cars got the inspiration from.

Very nice Chrysler and it looks like you added lots of extra detail,
