Fine looking trio of very different MOPARS!

This says it all: Wide whites...moon caps...wood "grain"...connie kit!!!!!! It just needs a visor from a '49 Ford on the windshield!!

The rear seat fix looks spot on to me!! Well done!

A Buick trademark!!

I have also used these products. I like the results!

Vinyl top info: History[edit] The first use of this technique goes back to the 1920s, when leather, canvas and vinyl were sometimes used along with landau bars, to give a fairly accurate reproduction of a horse-drawn carriage's movable top. An early example of this was the 1928 - 1929 Ford Model "A" Special Coupe, that featured a roof completely covered with a vinyl-like material. This Model "A" Special Coupe's vinyl roof had two exposed seams on the back corners, with a lateral seam on the top covered with a narrow trim strip; landau bars were not provided on this model. The technique fell out of favor in the 1930s and 1940s, when smoother, "envelope" bodies began to be fashionable; for these designs, the look of the modern, integrated metal roof was important. Taken from this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_roof Looks they've been "Faking it" from the beginning!! LOL

No takers on this one?

It may stay up for a while! He has this one, as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MPC-1977-Pontiac-Trans-Am-1-25-Scale-NEW/333127503488?hash=item4d8ff24e80:g:pZkAAOSw6rVclSkR Here's a good one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1960s-MPC-RICKSHA-Sealed-Model-Car-Kit-George-Barris-Chintatown-Express/123673315964?_trkparms=aid%3D333200%26algo%3DCOMP.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20171012094517%26meid%3D1a7d7969a99643109cd7bb0c204d4fa4%26pid%3D100008%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D333135539147%26itm%3D123673315964&_trksid=p2047675.c100008.m2219 Check out this seller's "Other Items".

HAHAHAHA! I got an Earl Sheib paint job, back in 1973! Metallic black, and it cost $49.95, instead of $39.95, because of the metallic!! They got paint on the chrome, and the windshield had a faint black stripe running across it. After about three trips thru an automatic car wash, the paint started to peel off!!

"There goes the quintessential Norton!"

The Love Bug

1969 Dodge Coronet:

Another possibility is finding an old built-up, or glue bomb that can be redone. But, those can be pricey, as well!

Those armrests look great!!

The above air cleaner is in the Monogram '65 hardtop kit. The Revell '66 Impala has the same air cleaner. The '65 convertible kit has a different style air cleaner. The part in the AMT '67 Impala is slightly different from the one in the first pic of this thread.

This is in the Monogram '65 Impala kit: Looks pretty darned close to me.

I got a Jo-Han '69 AMC Ambassador kit that was in pristine condition...except the engine parts are not there! The description didn't mention that, and the limited number of pics didn't show a lot. Everything else is in great shape, so I didn't bother contacting the seller. I paid a decent price for what I got. I did get a Mustang II kit that was advertised as unstarted, but when it arrived, it was clearly a disassembled glue bomb!! I contacted that seller, and he gave me a refund and told me to keep the kit! He said he got it mixed up with another kit that was unstarted! Maybe...or maybe not! LOL

This seller doesn't seem to have any other kits for sale....just some clothing items and gaming items. What gets me is he will lower the price down to $499.00 and then jack it back up to near $5000! $499 is too high for my budget!! LOL

Here is the air cleaner from the '70 Monte Carlo kit:

Back up to $4998.99 today! This is nutty!!!!

A great job on the best looking Torino body style! Keep up the good work!

Taken from Wikipedia: Optional engines included the four-barrel carbureted Turbo-Fire 350 CID small block V8, rated at 300 hp (224 kW) at 4800 rpm and 380 lb·ft (515 Nm) at 3200 rpm, the Turbo-Fire 400 (400 CID/6.5 L) with a two-barrel carburetor, rated at 265 hp (198 kW) at 4800 rpm and 400 lb·ft (542 Nm) at 3800 rpm, and the Turbo-Jet 400 (402 CID/6.6 L) with a four-barrel carburetor, rated at 330 hp (246 kW) at 4800 rpm and 410 lb·ft (515 Nm) at 3200 rpm). Note that the two Chevrolet 400 CID V8s offered this year were actually two different designs. The two-barrel carbureted Turbo-Fire 400 was a Small Block Chevrolet V8 engine, similar, but different internally, to the 350, while the Turbo-Jet 400 was a slightly enlarged version of the 396 CID big block V8 and had an actual displacement of 402 CID. The most sporty and powerful option was the Monte Carlo SS 454 package. Priced at $420, it included a standard Turbo-Jet 454 of 454 CID (7.4 L) with a four-barrel carburetor, rated at 360 hp (269 kW)[5] at 4800 rpm. It also included heavy-duty suspension, wider tires, "SS 454" badging, and an automatic load-leveling rear suspension. The Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic was the only transmission available for this package. The rear axle came standard with a 3.06 ratio but was available in 2.56 and 3.31, although it still cost $222 (£142) extra. Weighing only a bit more than a comparably equipped Chevelle SS 454, the Monte Carlo SS was quite a fast car, although it accounted for less than 3% of Monte Carlos sold in 1970. A labor strike at Chevrolet's Flint, Michigan assembly plant (where most Monte Carlo production was scheduled) during the early months of the 1970 model year immediately following the car's introduction on September 18, 1969 limited overall model-year sales to 159,341; short of the projected 185,000. During those early months, Monte Carlos were in short supply, with full-scale production not happening until February 1970, leaving many would-be buyers disappointed after going to their Chevrolet dealers and finding no Monte Carlos in stock. Once full production was underway, Monte Carlos sold well and often at full list price (usually being ordered with many extra-cost options), making it a profitable model for Chevrolet and its dealership networks. SS 454s, however, did not sell so well in 1970, with only 3,823 of the 1970 Monte Carlos being the most powerful model in the range. Popular Mechanics reported 82% of readers who bought a Monte Carlo got one for the styling, however 10.1% of readers disliked the amount of rear leg room.[6] Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Monte_Carlo A friend of mine had a SS 454 Monte with the 454 and 4 speed. What a sleeper! It was gold, with black vinyl top, and bench seat.

I like that Ghostbusters stuff!!!!

I like that method, too. Gives a little more room under there for the tires.

No guesses on this one?
