Can-Con

Get a hold of Keith Marks or Ray's Kits Decals. They both do those 442 decals and both will do custom orders of them in any color you want. Keith's are cheaper but Roy's are more comprehensive.

Nope, not really. I got one of those to build and gift to my uncle who rebuilt his from the frame up. Has since passed from ALS. [very unpleasant all around] It is such a poor representation of the real car that I never did build it.

When the info is correct, which is not always. It's nice to look at all the pretty pictures of the box are but the info isn't always right. I've seen some pretty big mistakes on that site.

For those not familiar, I submit a couple magazine covers the actual car was on to illustrate what a great job Phil did capturing the essence of the car. 👍

Actually for a '68 Impala made from the '67 you'd need a complete new interior too. "a promo style chassis would not work for lowrider builds which would be a natural for this car." ,,, I beg to differ,, These were built on the "promo chassis" they came with. Same chassis was used with minor exhaust changes by MPC for all their Impala and Caprices from '68 to '76. I have the complete run with my '69 and '70 being AMT, the rest are MPC. I did use the AMT '70 chassis under this '69 but I could have used the MPC chassis under it as easily. , , and gratuitous pic of my '68. My was a convertible but had a missing windshield frame so I grafted on the roof from the newer '67 kit. Same chassis with minor exhaust differences as the '76.

Looks fantastic. I do remember the car and think I still have a copy of "hot Rod" in the garage with it on the cover.👍👍👍

Oh, yea. I do wish we could post private pickups, vans and suvs in the regular car section though as opposed to "commercial" vehicle section. Won't be nothing "commercial" about this one.😉

Hey, cool, I had a 1/1 '69 too back in the '80s. Mine was originally that pastel blue with white top but I painted it Mopar Plum Crazy purple with the top in grey. Wish I could have kept that one. [along with the '72 boat tail and '76 Caprice Classic Landau 😥]

Ya know, Jim, Spotlight Hobbies now offers a plating service. They'll do a 6X8 frame for the same price as a can of Revell chrome. ,,Just say'n. Digg'n that new back bumper BTW.

OK, so I've settled on my next project. It's in Easy Off right now and I'll get seriously into it after the Plymouth wagon is finished. Just hope those fender flares come off the front fenders without too much drama. 🙄

A couple shots of the interior before it's closed up,, ,,, and a mockup under the hood,,

I don't know who made them but they sure were popular. Even my father's '67 Meteor Rideau had them.

In no particular order,,, . . .. .. ..

I was at the local hobby shop one day about 20 years ago and seen a guy buy and open a new, unopened AMT Garlits dragster kit at the counter. Missing all the unplaited trees, which was most of the kit, of course. The plated tree, tires and all the paperwork was in the box.

Revell '65 Chevelle does too and maybe easier to find.

Beautiful work on all of them, Claude. I don't know how you can be so productive and still do such clean builds.

Merry Christmas to you too, Ken. Hope you didn't get blasted too bad by today's storm. We just caught the tail here in Fredericton, less then 4 inches on the ground and pretty well done right now just after 3PM. Lovely illustration, looks like it just came off a post card. 👍

"Custom" is ALWAYS an option, just depends on how creative you can get. 😉

Floor's done and flocked. Now I can finish up the interior.

It's a legitimate GM concept car from 1963, the Pontiac XP-765, not AI generated.

Not to mention, those wheels look right at home on other things. 😉

No worries. After the comment you left on my Plymouth wagon build, I figured we were just good natured ribbing each other back and forth. No harm, no foul.😉🙂

It's just nice to be noticed, Michael. 😁 Sorry, I thought you had thicker skin.😟 I apologize if I offended you.

Well, ya already know I like it Marty.😉

Oh, and BTW, everything I've found on this unit dates back to '84/'85 not exactly "modern" being from 40 years ago. 🙂
