  1. Nice awesome job on both I am a ford guy and you them proud I love the in-line 6 on the Fairlane and the look of the dog dish caps on the 500 very nice .!
  2. Hi thank you I used the AMT 58 Plymouth Belvedere you can also use the AMT 57 300 both take the same amount of work to fit and it's not bad but I found the 58 Plymouth the best.
  3. I think that's a great thing I will be watching this one the 64 is one I have always loved I am 67 I have two daughters one liked cars but not in to models I have 3 grandsons 5,6 and 10 I had hoped to get the 10 year old in modeling that's when I did my first model it was the AMT 62 Fairlane 3-in-1 two years ago I found one at a garage sale in the box unbuilt I can't believe I got it for $10.00 bucks it's on the bench for this winter but like I said I tried with the 10 year old and he only likes those dam tablets and video games can't get them away from it I hate to say it but I think we are the last of the model builders with in a few years it to maybe gone.!!!! one thing is for sure as lone as I can drive I will never buy or drive an electric car if it does not run on gas it's not a car.!!!! I want to hear the pipes.!!!!
  4. This is awesome I can not believe how great it is turning out I love it.!!!
  5. I like were your going with this I will be following this one I have one I started 2 years ago but stalled out I will get back into it again this winter.
  6. That is awesome I do remember see this some time back when you first showed it I just love it it's perfect the car the color the wheels it all fits just right.!!!
  7. That is a awesome awesome build the color the wheels and tires everything it's perfect !! i'm 67 JoHan was the only model company that really put out a lot of Mopar and AMC kits I try to find as many as I can and over the years I have found many but now they are getting more and more money for the old kits it would be nice to see some one remaster these old kits and bring them out again I know 90% of the JoHan molde's were lost over the years so someone would have start over from the ground up.
  8. Awesome build !!! Dam I love the color it looks like it just came out of the pages of a 60's Hot Rod magazine very very nice.!!
  9. That really came out awesome I love the color and it looks very 50's with the dog dish caps and wide whits very nice.

    LOL I have been on this site for a very long time and have never seen that you did it ! something no one else did I love it awesome !!!!
  17. This is one car I would give anything to see some company put out in 1/25 full detail plastic kit from and I would even pay double the price for it. !!!
  18. WOW ! that Vette is awesome !! everything on it and about it is perfect great detail very very nice.!!!!
  19. Awesome I love the Marlin it was ahead of it's time I have a couple of these kits that i'm working on. I like the color you picked it's a great 60's color.
  20. Looks great I love anything AMC I have a large number of old JoHan kits and buy them when I see them you did a great job on this AMX your right about the Molotow pens I have all four sizes and I almost never use BMF anymore.
  21. Wow ! great job on the body so far you nailed it. this is looking awesome. were did you find the tool you used to remove the chrome on the sides I like that it looks like it really cuts down on the sanding.
  22. I'm 66 I bought them when they first came out and in the 60's they were $2.00 each and a lot of store had them for as little a $1.00 even today I try to fine and buy any JoHan kit I can I have a good stash of them now but I always loved there kits it's to bad that 90% of there tooling has been lost or sold off for scrap it's truly a lose.
  23. Hi get a hold of Kevin at missinglink resin he makes the repop of both and has all of the parts your looking for and he has them chromed I have the two kits from him you cant tell them from the plastic kits.
  24. WOW.! guys I just got my GTX grill and a couple of set's of his 63 Ford dog dish hub caps I got to tell you they are awesome well with the price and the delivery was just bout two weeks very nice.!
