  1. Thanks guys it’s one of my favorite builds
  2. Original AMT kit with a 69 AMT Riv engine.Monogram GSX valve covers steering column, steering wheel and armrests. Pegasus wheels frt wheelhouses tubbed to clear the tires. Turned injector stacks can’t remember who made them.
  3. I always build the engine cage with the chassis in the car. After I had the same problem
  4. 5 min epoxy. If you screw up it peels right off.
  5. It was a purpleish pink. They used factory colors for the most part.
  6. That was Big John Sears car. Chrysler wanted a panther pink car nobody wanted to do it. Big John said if you give me the paint I’ll do it!! So they did.
  7. I am almost positive that Marty’s car was Panther Pink. I know his later cars were. Panther Pink is more of a Magenta color. This car is Panther pink. It photographs weird sometimes look how different it looks in these two pictures
  8. This kit is is a curbside. It also is a hardtop not a sedan. On top of being an LTD not a Galaxie. It looks like this built aside from the rims.
  9. I don’t pay much attention to Petty stuff. Everybody else does it.
  10. MPC did a Charger. This is a Satellite.
  11. I cut it place it on the car and push it lightly to shape it. Then I let some 5 min epoxy get almost set up . Put a little on the part and stick it on
  12. I tried that once it’s so sticky that if you are a fat clumsy fool like me it screws you up. There’s about no repositioning it if misplaced.
  13. You know those Cheopo aluminum roasting pans? I’ve been cutting the lid of one of those for five years. Thin and very malible. I use it for light covers bumper fairings and other little stuff. Still haven’t used that lid up. A paper punch or leather punch works to make circles out of it too. Cuts with good old fashion scissors.
  14. Forgot about a 427 from a motion Camaro. And I changed the front end from a 71 to a 72. Need to add the rear shocks and rear #s tomorrow.
  15. Mish mosh of old and newer parts. MPC Marlin Monte Carlo body on an AMT Allison Monte chassis with a AMT TBird front stub and truck arms. Custom mixed paint and decals.PPP rims
  16. That rule book shows exactly how a Holman moody car was done. Tubes slipped in the existing rocker panels to tie into the frt stub and rear torque boxes. The stock rear frame rails can be seen in place.
  17. Notice they started with a boxed convertible frame too
