  1. This is just a file photo. not sure where my pics are Was definitely a scary fast car. There were a few times I got a bit too heavy on the "go" pedal from a stop and ended up facing the wrong direction. It had the option of pushing a button and stiffening up the suspension for some flat cornering. Hated to get rid of it but the "brain" box went out and there were none available.
  2. I was partial to my 90 Super Coupe
  3. It comes with a warning label "Knot to be Driven faster than than a slow lumber"
  4. I wonder if it has floorboards ? Looks like something you would see in Bedrock. It does solve the "rust" problems but them pesky termites might be worrisome
  5. So far only super glue mixed with baby powder
  6. I have been using 3M Fine Line Tape I bought at an auto paint supply stores a few years back. Sees to do OK https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-17961/3M-Masking-Tape/3M-218-Fine-Line-Masking-Tape-1-4-x-60-yds?pricode=WY475&gadtype=pla&id=S-17961&gclid=CMCvhOaoqc8CFc9ffgodUZ4CNA&gclsrc=aw.ds
  7. I am doing some testing on using Future over flat black. Trying to keep as much body detail as I can.
  8. Yeah , looks like a "oops" on the box art.Unless you went a little crazy with a 64 Chrysler 300. Call it "Color Me Heavy"
  9. Are these going to be any different than the originals or just the same A-100 with different decals and a CMG reissue ? More is better. Building 4 64 Mopars right now so I am looking forward to MORE.
  10. Looking pretty good. If I was going for a stock looking distributor I would paint the cap satin black. The hardest thing for me on the Hemi is the alternator and bracket. Looking forward to seeing more.
  11. If they were really "smart" cars they wouldn't pull in front of me on the freeway
  12. This is what I have been using. Seems to work the best. Comes in white black and red.
  13. Check out Line O Tape , I know the go down to 1/32 at Mega Hobby https://www.megahobby.com/brands/Line-O-Tape.html
  14. Coyote Hobby in Oregon City is selling some Estate Sale kits. Picked up a Revell Dodge440 6pk $5, Monogram 70 Superbird $10, Revell 67 GTX 2n1 $5, AMT 27 M T 2 n 1 $5 and two Revell Team Yamaha Bronco and Hydroplane w/Trailer $10 each. Not bad for just stopping by check out their kits
  15. Thanks . After a closer look at the 1:1 car that panel will need to have the ends filled and sanded smooth any way. The 64 Plymouth body I am building has it attached and there doesn't seem to be any issues with assembly.
  16. Question for someone that has built the Lindberg 64 Dodge 330 (Ramcharger/Color Me Gone). Does the rear body panel have to be installed after the body is on the chassis ? Or can it be attached to the rear below the trunk lid and painted before assembly ? Thanks
  17. Any difference (other than name) between Purple Power (Autozone), Drivers Choice (Dollar Tree), Super Clean (parts store) Awesome (dollar Store)? First three are purple To use for removing paint Thanks
  18. wrong spot
  19. The divided scoop for the Max wedge looks a bit to narrow but it might be the camera angle ? The other scoop looks narrow also but is for a later model (hemi?) definitely not the 64Hemi scoop. I would be interested in the engine options in this kit Max Wedge, Hemi both ?
  20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh7wMR_7Kco
  21. consider black with wood grain accents , found one on ebay and a two tone green Super Bee on youtube
  22. Thanks I think one this build I will do it the same as you.Maybe next tie I will do it correct. Thanks for the info
  23. i plan on using the four headlight grille on this build and the two headlight grill on the next one. is there additional work for adding the inner lights?
  24. New to using PE Not had a lot of success with the carb linkage PE parts yet (they seem to small). I am about to do the grille on a 64 Dodge 330 and after looking at the instructions it seems to be a bit more involved than I thought'. I did a search and did not find any thing on doing a PE grille. Is their any tips or advice on this ? Thanks
