That is what it all comes down to!?

I didn’t know they existed until SAE did the AAR conversion article in the early 90’s. I believe he added them. I’m not sure what is correct. I had pictures of an unrestored completely original car from the local MOPAR show but can’t find them.... yet

All of my AAR reference shows these rectangles in the grill too. I cast this grill in resin if anyone is interested.

Classicgas, Re-read the post. He states that it was an original Plum Crazy AAR. The guy who restored it, wanted it done his way. IE: 426, Different exhaust, custom decals and such.

Congratulations everyone! Really nice builds out there!??

I’ve always loved at the continentals! (Not a Lincoln?) i’ll definitely be following along on this one! And keeping an eye out for a decent promo again!

Great job! I like the mismatch nose. Makes it look real!

Guess who favorite car this is?

Very impressive! Once you apply the nail art, is it sealed somehow before you cover it with tape?

She’s a Beauty! Very nice!??

Always glad to help a fellow modeler!??

Great color choice Bill!

Very nice!

I love this! I never really cared much for the movie Batmobile... till now!?

My old ride was 11 years old. It was a great car and never gave me any troubles. 2008 and 2019 Honda Civics The color is called tonic yellow. The salesman asked me three times if I really wanted that color. Even asked if I had seen it in person. I lied and said yes. LOL! They had sold the one they had in stock the day before. They had to call another dealership and swap with them. Even the guy at the other dealership asked if I really wanted that color! I don’t see what the problem is! I love the color! Although my daughter and I did laugh when we first saw it in person. It is kind of shocking. My son said “I am so extra!” LOL!

What do I do.... I painted my 1958 Impala many years ago with MCW paint. I just painted Scale Finishes Anniversary Gold and it is not the same.... MCW shade is much more accurate.

Very cool! I need to get back to mine!

I noticed the first time I built this kit that the seal around the nose should be flush if not recessed a little bit. It also should extend into the engine bay slightly. To do this I simply scribed along the seal on the nosecone itself to create a new edge of the steel nosecone. Then I sanded down the seal. I also added some plastic to the seal to enter into the engine bay. I hope this helps.

I have a few in the box too. Very high on my list! Beautiful car!?

Thanks for the info!

I’ve always wanted to build a high detail cross ram 426. Does anyone have a short list of sources? I’m gonna reread the thread.

I agree, the nose didn’t always match the car!?

I have a couple of Riviera hood castings to send you. ? Send me your address.

Here it is! With timestamp and everything! LOL?

I should be getting back to it very soon. ?
