Heee Haaa I was just on the Modelroundup site and pre-ordered the new Revell 50 Olds I ordered 4 of them the out date is frist part of October he is takking pre orders now.This is the frist all new tool in a long time and the frist 50,s Olds in a long time I cat wate tell one of the top Resin people gets ahold of it and does a nice chop top hint hint someone any one.

Hi I wanted to do the same thing.Dencon did have it but I order one 2 years ago and i am still watting for it.I went to Modelhaus Don has the bumper and grill and the front lights and the hood you will have to do some body work but you will get your parts and they will be chrome in 4 to 6 weeks no problem.Also the old spotlighthobby.com look under unbuilt kits 1970/79 and he has about 9 kits all org i am thinking of just going that rout good luck.

The project is great I love it.BUT you need to get that hood the a resin guy so we can all have one or two..Super build love it.

Hi no I wish I was he did a great job on that one I saw it to.My kit is still in the works I just retired so now I can realy spend the time I want with the hobby.I hope to have it ready to show some photos by Sept I have a lot of kits started but now it,s time to finish them.Thanks and good luck with yours post your photos to.Rick.

Hi I have that Resin kit and the doner is the AMT 40 Ford you can still find them at Modelexpress.com or Deanshobbystop.com or the old spotlighthobbys site they run any were form $11.95 to $19.95 it depends on the box art.Good luck the Resin needs a lot of tlc but it,s worth it when it,s done.Rick.

I would be intrested in one I got the 70 AMX from Missing Link Resin a year or so ago and that was a complete kit with the chrome and i think it was around $80. and i thought that was a good price and it was a very high quality kit.

Check with Star models resin I just looked at the R&R resin he has and they show a 48 chevy coup that looks very doable I have got many kits from Steve he is a great guy to buy from good luck.

Hi when will Kevin be casting them I want 2 my self.

Hi I have 2 MPC Volares that I am makking in to roadrunners.For the Resin parts go to Alan Raab Ma,sResin his items are great I got 2 sets from him and they fit like a glove and Alan is a very nice guy to deal with.For the Decals I went to Keith Marks also very good items and again he is also a great guy to deal with good luck Rick.

Hi ho ya I can,t tell you how many times I did just that put it back in the box and start something slse you get righr in the middel of it and you start to pull your hair out and I doen.t have much left to pull lol. But all and all I think I may get one more from Modelhaus and do one more build it is still cheeper then finding a org/one I have seen 2 on spotlite hobby and they went for $250 and $300 so ya this is the way to go and I do love my 50,s and 60,s Mopars good luck and post some pic,s when your doen.Rick.

sorry abiut the line in my post but I have no idia were it came from.Rick.

Hi I have that 63 from Modelhaus and I did the same thing the hood is much thinner but it works very well and is strate.Cutting out the molded in hood is not bad just go slow and use a new #11 blade.It came out very nice you should not have any problems if you just take your time good luck.Rick.

Hi I get a lot of my kits and replacement parts from Don at Modelhaus great place to buy from and great parts and kits.I have 2 of the 67 Couger kits.He has the org hood from the kit so I cut the hood out on the kit and used the AMT 69 kit for the guts with a little sanding it all fits very nice and you can make it look like a kit.good luck on yours I hope to get some pics up on my 2 soon......Rick.

Hi Guys. You can get The louvered hood that he talks about at modelhaus I got one because I to am looking to do a hard top.The hood is just a bit short on the sides but a small pice of plastic stripping from evergreen will fix it right up it,s a nice hood with the imprint on the underside.I is realy for the old Johan kits to make them a 71 or 72 they also have the chrome.I was going to do the roof thing but if Missing link is doing it I will wate for them I have got a lot of there kits and they are A-1.Rick.

Hi I doent know if this helps you but take a look at (Time Machine Resin) I have gotten 12 or 14 kits from him he has a great product and he is a very nice guy to deal with.He has a 76 short bed open SSII scout for $40.00 and you use the new AMT kit for the doner.You will still have to do some body work but it may get you a bit closer to what your looking for good luck Rick.

Hi I got one from Tom last July it is a very nice promo kit and the chrome was very nice.But when I emailed him back to get one more at that time he told me I got the last one he had and the mold was no longer useable.

Ok if your looking for the Dart swinger hard top the big difference is in the back end.I am 59 and I had a 74 swinger in the mid 70,s I wanted to do one in a model.The front is the same with the 73/74 can,t tell them apart.But the back looks like the 65 GTO it has the taillights rap around the corrner.In fact I got 2 of the Bandit resin trans kits and thats a good place to start.You will have to use the front clip from the 76 Duster and the 73/74 grill and bumper from modelhaus.You can use the rear bumber and taillights from the AMT 65 GTO with a little work.The 73 Dart had the same bumper and the scamp but it had one hole for the taillight and the Dart had two holes in the bumper for two squar lights.Again good luck.

Hi thats true but the big thing is the taillights.The MCW body has the right opnning and the chrome bezel and red lenze is a modelhouse item so is the right hood.But again it,s not perfect but real close.

Hi I am a big Dart fan to.The 73/74 Darts are very close.If your looking to bild the fastback thats the one,s I did I got the body from MCW it,s very close to total stock and got the chrome from Modelhaus and used the AMT 76 Plymouth Duster kit for a doner to finish it.It,s not perfect but dam close good luck.Rick.

Hi ho ya I am 59 and as nice and as great all the other model kits are BRING BACK any thing JoHan I have many of there kits and I still love them all.

Yep I to have to add to this.I have been getting resin and plastic kits and HOC paints from him for over 6 years not a problem at all and yep he is a great guy to deal with.

Jimmy Flintstone has the bubbel top body for this kit for $10.00 i have one it fits like a glove.

Hi I just had to add I got the parts today I ordered from Alan and Damm he does nice work very nice any one looking to get parts from him will be very happy.Rick.;

Hi I just want to add if you want R&R resin kits the only place to go is Steve at Star models.I have got kits from him for the last 9 years and it is as problem free as you can get.Ya some of the kits need lots of work but we are modelers and that should not be a problem and all his kits have the chrome and glass and Steve is a great guy to work with.Thanks Rick.

Ya Jeff that,s great I will order one love the old ford,sRick.
