    I have found scripts on photo etched offerings for specific kits. I acquired a PE tree for the ‘58 Edsel that included scripts for a wagon version as I have a resin Edsel wagon trans kit. I have yet to begin that project and I have no experience working with PE parts so I can’t say this would be a good solution. The resin and 3d may offer a little more realistic detail than just a flat metal piece.

    Me too! My folks bought a Polara w/police option, 383 4bbl new in December 1960, when I was 8. I was always enthralled with the taillights/rear quarter panel design (they are different than the Dart). I learned to drive in it (as well as a ’57 Chrysler 300C conv!). I bought a ‘61 Dart wagon (with the same Polara rear qtrs) in the ‘80s that I loved, even though it was somewhat of a beater. Sadly it was totaled as it sat on a snowy street in front of my house. An out of control suv slid and t-boned it, dead center in the left door post and doors. Been hoping to find another ever since. I am currently, slowly, working at first on one, now two resin wagon kits. Still would like a real one! BTW this is one beauty of a model! Nothing to apologize there!

    Just completed a great trade with pulin4dejr. Would trade with him again!

    I always liked this kit. Built one when I was a kid, probably when this issue was current. Loved the turquoise green plastic! I eventually (when I was still a kid) painted the body panels different colors to represent junk yard replacements. I no longer have that model but I do have what I believe is the last issue with the unchopped top (though Directory of Model Car Kits lists it as the first chopped version). It’s unbuilt and molded in blue.

    What a sleeper! What a beauty! Nicely done.

    I have a Modelhaus’64 D100 Custom conversion kit. (Requires only chassis and bed to complete.) I don’t know if it’s the same as the Custom “Sports Special”. I would be willing to trade along with the Dodge lil Red Express Truck donor kit, if needed. . Don’t know what would be a fair trade but I’m looking for early JoHan, AMT and Revell MoPars thru ’65 and ‘65 Mustang coupe/convertible kit.

    Wow! That’s too bad. I’ve been looking for just such decals. They look ideal!

    There was an “annual” of the ‘65 Barracuda with both a 426 Hemi and a rather crude slant six. It would be cool to have a new tool model with a 273 cid option! My sister’s first car was the ’65 with the 273.

    Here’s a good place to try. He’s made me custom plates at a very reasonable price. (Btw I’m loving for more billboards like the one in the picture)

    Making this into an auto hauler sounds intriguing! Hope to see it completed.

    All three Tri-five Chevys wrapped up in one!

    I once had a Testor branded kit of this model, sold it and wished I hadn’t. I have been looking for another ever since!

    Yeah, kinda, sort of. Didn’t open the inner bags, but the trailer floor wasn’t bagged. I’m not sure how you envision your trailer so I took some pics of it and a partial mockup of the AMT 1/25 single car trailer for comparison. The 1/32 trailer measures 3” wide. The 1/25 trailer is 5” wide including the fenders, 3 5/8” wide without the fenders. Hope this helps. BTW “copyright 1980” Is imprinted on this piece

    I got one of the trailers this week, too. I have never seen it either, but I too have a tractor in need of a trailer. Looks like a a nicely detailed kit…

    Thanks!

    Cool model of an interesting car. . You’d never know it’s a Cadillac sports car! Cunninghams are interesting cars. Who makes that kit anyway?

    Another 1:32 scale model recently completed: an AMT ‘61 Falcon Ranchero. I hope to get at least one more 1:32 model done this year…

    New Mexico also issues only 1 plate, too. Here in Iowa we are issued both plates but seems that not displaying the front plate isn’t a big concern. I’ve seen more than one vehicle running with no front plate, and I have never put one on my old truck. I’ve never been pulled over for the missing plate.

    Just learned of his passing a few days ago. He will indeed be missed. R.I.P.

    Great build, Tom! Just learned of Snake’s passing from this post. He was inspiration to many of us here. Inspired by Snake, I too, have finished a couple of dead projects before and after that thread had been abandoned. He surely will be missed! Did you do a WIP thread on this build? I’m returning to another dead project and I need to install posts in a Modelhaus ’61 Dodge wagon. (Converting a Polara 4dr hardtop to a standard-post-Seneca 4dr wagon) I can sure use some tips!

    Hey thanks for pulling this up again! I was thinking about this thread just the other day. I have all but finished the 1/32 Cunningham needing only to print brake vent decals (once I replace my printer. Thanks to Mr. Moto for the encouragement in learning how to make my own decals!) I need to touch up the paint on the cockpit surround “pad” as well, otherwise done!l will post more pics when completely done!
