  1. Just looking....as in a Good looking Wildcat!
  2. A daily driver that you would see anytime or anywhere during 64 or later. Definitely can picture the interior seat inserts on the real 1:1....
  3. Just like a kernel of popcorn on a hot stove, it POPS! Great choice of color and I really do like the rims......and the story on those?
  4. As Ric Flair says " To be the man, you gotta build a better model than the man!" or something like that.I don't get on the board as much as I use to but when I do, I'm always looking to see the latest from you.....keep em coming!
  5. Oh yea, it's the Aquarod combo! An enjoyable styrene stroll down a different road. Thought long and hard about the Hydro dipping both Van and boat but will eventually get around to it on a other project. Used RustOleum Dark Steel Metallic on both. The boat deck was over layer with Spaz Stix Candy Gold(#15209). In regular room lighting not a bad looking silver Metallic finish but outside sunlight it POPS!. The SS candy gold is translucent to give a metallic golden honey hue. I have Chevrolet Emergency Van to which I'm leaning more to Fire/Rescue. But till then....enjoy!
  6. Primer....sand....repeat. more times than I care to count. Had the body washed, prepped and primered with Duplicolor white sandable primer. Lately I have had the worst run of luck with known paint that I never had an issue with but a can of Lowe's house brand Gloss Black cashed in and went smack through the primer and slapped a case of styrene craze all over. Not one to be deterred, patience and determination (as in the determination not to do the Stormtrooper boogie on it) eventually paid off.....along with the Credit card payment that I had purchased it with weeks ago. That was done quicker than the build...lol! Black on Black with one coat of Pledge floor care acrylic finish. Wasn't to impressed with the Pontiac Rallye 1 rims but after Googling a pic of them, it make all the difference when painted.
  7. Well done! Very rare a 2 dr pops up. I came across a 2 dr Monaco last year, got the body painted with intentions of using the Joker Goon car for parts as a donor. With so much new and reissue kits that has come out since, it got put aside. Too many "squirrels" for this old dog to focus on...
  8. Has anyone else experienced excessively long gaps between texts and photos, screen freezing up or just plain having a mind of it own phone. TThis is the main reason I Don't post replies to other members on their posts.
  9. After yellowsportswagon 2 builds, gks1964 and Yblock292 Johan 70 Cutlass, I figured I better find my hat to throw the ring before someone post another. BTW guys( yellowsportswagon, gks1964 and Yblock292)....fantastic builds, always look forward to what you post, and others also! Originally to be Silver, Gloss black ended up on the palette. Right OOB with the exception of a 1/16 round spacer on the rear springs to elevate the rear end for a better stance. It worked. I wasn't planning to add the side wheel arch stripes but a friend suggested to add them on. If it didn't look right they are not that hard to remove. I provided a without/with picture. A great kit long over due with some other Revell kits coming down the line
  10. The best looking early 60's Poncho other than the Bonneville. Always say it is a nod of respect and love when you build a family member's ride! You did great!
  11. Great save and finished result. Two you never see enough of is AMC and Cadillac
  12. Looks like winner, a great kit that looks good in any color!
  13. That's a poppin off my screen...fantastic!
  14. If so and if true........The scene in when Harry met Sally at the Coffee shop........well, you can take it from there! Lol! Let's get those Maverick molds in the injection machines!
  15. Yes I would like to see a release of the Factory stock 72 over the 71. Better yet, as in following of JRS current line of marketing, add both grill inserts, both rear bumpers/tail lights and use decals for the side marker light on smooth flush fenders. Two options covered w/o two complete kits competing. To up the ante more, incorporate the chassis and suspension from the 68/69 RR. The two posted were acquired in the last 3 years. The blue was a hodge podge of parts that made a complete kit while the green was a promo that I ran across with a broken roof. At the time I was going to used the bumpers and wheels for the Blue build but realized that the AMT Charger roofline and A pillars were somewhat shared in actual factory production. Thus an easy fix and a monumental save. Have a 3rd kit that I haven't decided on the direction yet...to much eye candy coming out ALL THE TIME!
  16. Nailed it on the 70's vibe. By far the coolest thing is the license plate to access the gas cap! Don't think I would want to pull up along side of it at the stoplight.....unless I was turning right! Lol
  17. Refreshing look and take. Not all classic and muscle cars were the horsepowered brutes of the road. Far more plain janes than Raquel Welch's..... Fantastic look and build!
  18. Great job! Citron yellow hue does vary in different lighting but iit still makes it a knockout to have sitting in you collection. BTW I was in my early teens when I saw the movie at the theater, then later at a drive in.....way better experience at the drive in, BIG screen, a decent and adjustable volume speaker! Keep em coming!
  19. All but the 4th( 1975 to 78) generation of Chargers. 67 Charger. 1st Gen 1966-67 68 Charger 2 Gen 1968-70 72 Charger. 3 Gen 1971-74 85 Charger 5 Gen 1982-87 06 Charger 6 Gen 2006-10 12 Charger 7 Gen 2011- present
  20. A switch of the Moebius 64 Chevy Nova chassis with the 65 Chevy gasser. Testors light beige enamel.
  21. But wait! There's more .....
  22. Bonus pictures!
  23. It's an overcast sky at the Eastern Carolina Speedway today but the drivers are out warming the tires up on the cool afternoon. Photo shots of the driver's race cars were taken prior to the start today's race. I did not think these Yesterday's Decal would hold when they hit the water but all doubts were cast aside and it was full throttle on applying them. After one coat of Pledge floor wax, it was off to the Race track. Out of the box, MM Arctic Blue spray and some out of the Vault Yesterdays decals and the contingency decals from the kit.
