It is an R/T. Not sure why it says "Super Bee" on the box, but the kit is 100% R/T. The Super Bee used the 440 grille with DODGE lettering and a slightly different rear panel, also with a Dodge script and Super Bee emblems all around. The MPC kit has the R/T grille, tail panel, and R/T badges on the front quarter panels as well as the interior door panels. No indication of Super Bee anywhere. Steve

There are far too many to list, but it would probably be any, or all, of the old Johan Plymouths starting in 1959 all the way to 1970. Throw in the Johan 1962-'68 Chrysler 300s as well! Steve

I can tell from this photo that you have far too many '66 Skylarks Chris. Don't you think it's time to get rid of one to make room for something else? Maybe a nice new Camaro kit. Steve

Man, the world is full of losers and weirdos! Steve

You're right Ace. It's sad "for the owner". It's just that the rest of us don't care. I often wonder how many people who have real family heirlooms, or cars that they have lovingly built or restored with their own hands over many years, lose them in tornadoes, fires, floods and other disasters every year. Those are the guys that I really feel for. These guys that can afford to keep a warehouse full of cars will just start over again and probably have a new warehouse full of cars within a few months. Steve

I have to respectfully disagree. To me, it looks like every other "econo-box" from that era. There was little difference in appearance between the Buick and it's cousins, the Chevy Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix and Olds Cutlass. Nothing "sexy" about any of them in my opinion. If I would have HAD to pick one, I probably would have taken a Monte Carlo SS. In my opinion, it was the best looking of the 4. But then again, I would have taken a 1969/70 version of any of them in a heart beat! Now we're talking sexy!!! Steve

The only ones that will be guaranteed to never come back, are the unusual cars. I suppose if you're talking about exact copies of a lot of the kits shown above, I suppose you're correct. But does anybody really think that there is absolutely no possibility that there will ever be a '28 Model A, a '68 Coronet or a '72 Roadrunner? I think that these are pretty high possibilities. If we are really talking about kits that will never return, and will never be replaced with a new tool, pretty much any Johan kit prior to about 1967 is a pretty good bet. There is zero possibility that you will ever see a Johan 1966 Chrysler 300 again, and an almost zero probability that anyone else will ever do a new one. This can be said for hundreds of old models, not just Johans. Steve

Sorry Tom. For some reason, I was thinking that there were more than one on the sheet. Steve

Nice job Al! Steve

Mmmm. Subgum kitty! Steve

These 80s Camaros and Firebirds are becoming considerably more valuable every day. I just remember not being impressed with them when I was a kid, and they haven't grown on me. I have a basic contempt for cars from the 80s. I don't believe there was a worse decade for automotive styling. Steve

Domino's Pizza. Steve

Yeah, I really don't see anything in the photo that I will particularly miss. Steve

You can check out this website. It belongs to a member here by the name of Tommy Logan. He sells a "mini sheet" with a wide array of popular under hood decals, including a few of the Mopar air cleaner ones. Tommy also does custom decals. He will do anything you want, but I see that he is temporarily not doing custom orders. He did some "Golden Lion" decals for me a while back for early '60s Chrysler engines.

My first ever order from Scale Finishes arrived today! Looks like some great stuff! I can't wait to try it out. Cinnamon Bronze for a 1968 Olds 442 Aquamarine for a 1964 Pontiac Bonneville convertible Bronze Mist for a 1963 Buick Riviera Alpine Green for a 1961 Oldsmobile 88 Singapore Gold for a 1964 Pontiac LeMans convertible Medium Turquoise fro my current 1965 Plymouth Fury project. Sunfire Red for a 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix. Steve

Yeah, trying to find one of these that doesn't look like it sat on an asphalt road in Death Valley for a week is nearly impossible. You got a good one Chris! Steve

Mother nature would never do this to a model! That's why I trust her to dry my paint. Steve

You're right, they were boring. But then again, what wasn't in 1985! Almost everything on the road had all of the character of a Corn Flakes box! I had a 1984 Honda Prelude when I was newly married. Still not exactly "sexy" but it was a fantastic little car, and about as sporty as you were going to get back then. Steve

That clinches it for me. Not worth it. There are other clears available. Steve

I'll add a few pictures when it gets interesting. I'll be starting out with a little electrical work, drywall repair, and paint, so it will be boring for a while. The vessel sink isn't very practical, but it looks cool and this will be in our main bathroom. When there's no company in the house, (which is 95% of the time) it gets no use whatsoever, so we thought that it would make a nice show piece rather than a really practical, functional bath room. Steve

Uh, yeah......even though I only have about 25 square feet to cover, that would be about $750.00!! That's over half of what I figure the entire cost of the renovation will be! Not in the budget! Steve

I did something similar except with Vinyl plank flooring. I just love this stuff! It's easy to install, not terribly expensive, quiet, waterproof, and it looks great! And with a lifetime warranty, you really can't go wrong. I replaced worn out, noisy laminate and carpet with it. I never looked back! All of the floors in my house may eventually be replaced with this stuff. Steve

I think it will actually be kind of fun! We'll be toning down the paint color, and adding all new antique bronze fixtures, faucets, etc. The wife really wants a vessel sink, so we are doing a white vanity, doors and trim with a copper vessel sink. Floors will match the living area, (vinyl plank flooring). The tile will be interesting if we decide that we can afford it. Mother of pearl mosaic tile with a hammered copper accent edge. Non of these items are set in stone yet, except probably the sink. Still throwing around ideas. Steve

Just dated. Really needed to enter this century. Just the bright orange paint alone was enough to make me nauseous every time that I went in there. Steve
