  1. That '64 Chrysler turned out great!
  2. Oh man, I have several of these kits, both the '55 and '56 versions, and I love em to death. Probably my favorite kits ever after the AMT '57 300 C.. That being said, you're spot on in saying how great it would be for Moebius to tool these up as DeSoto Fireflites and Adventurers.. They should turn the '55 into a..'55 DeSoto..which would be pretty cool.. But changing the '56 into a pair of..'56 DeSotos, a convertible Fireflite to FINALLY have a kit of the '56 Indy 500 Pace Car, and a hardtop Adventurer.. A hardtop Adventurer was the 1956 Pikes Peak Hillclimb official Pace Car, so Moebius could decal one up and have even a third version too.. I'd buy and build at least two of each.. Also, each their Hudson kits are top shelf.. Anyhow dude, yer doing awesome work on yer build here, A-1 stuff in my opinion, can't wait to see what's next..
  3. I'd like to have one of these
  4. I'm in need of convertible up-tops for an AMT 1959 Imperial and an AMT 1970 Challenger.. Does anybody make these?
  5. Well, here goes : 1934 Chrysler or DeSoto Airflow 1938 Phantom Corsair 1942 DeSoto Fifth Avenue Cvt. 1948 Tucker Torpedo 1949 Buick Roadmaster Cvt. 1953 GM halo cars - Buick Skylark, Cadillac Eldorado, and Oldsmobile 98 Fiesta 1954 Buick Skylark 1956 Plymouth Fury 1955-56 Packard 400, Caribbean, Clipper, or Executive 1956-57 Lincoln Continental Mark II Basically any of the 1950s halo cars from any manufacturer would be killer to have.. Somebody in the thread said they'd like some concept cars, which I will second.. All them Golden Era dream cars? There's the 1940 Chrysler Newport and the 1941 Thunderbolt, then a whole list of beauties that ChryCo and Ghia built. Man alive, who doesn't want GM Motorama kit of a 1954 Pontiac Bonneville Special? Even FoMoCo had a neat one, the 1956 Mercury XM Turnpike Cruiser, also built by Ghia.. There's a ton of Golden Age custom cars that'd be way cool to have kits of too.. OH, and trucks too! 1948-54 Studebaker 2R/3R Series, or 1955-60 E-Series pickup kit would be a crowd favorite.. And Dodge pickups for heavens sake! 1948-53 Dodge B-Series, 1954-60 C-Series, or 1961-65 D-Series truck kit would fly off the shelves.. Moebius changed the game with the 1951-54 Hudson kit lineup, I have them all. How cool would it be if they either modified the tooling or added to it and released a 1948-50 Hudson Commodore kit? Moebius really raised the bar with the 1955-56 Chrysler 300 kits, I have them all too. Wouldn't it be sweet if they did a 1960-61 Chrysler 300 in the same manner? Or if Round2 modified their 1957 Chrysler 300 C tooling into a 1957-58 New Yorker or Saratoga, or better still, a 1957-58 DeSoto Fireflite or Adventurer? Or maybe change and improve on their 1958 Plymouth Belvedere a bit and turn it into a proper Fury, better still, backdate it to a 1957 Fury or Belvedere? I tell ya fellas, I'd buy for sure two of each of any/all of the above listed if they were available in kit form.. Infinitely more interesting than any '32 Ford, '55-6-7 Chevy, Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Challenger, Nova, etc. etc. At least there's the 1964 Cutlass though, and the prospect of the 1955 Powell, 1968 Coronet, 1965 and 1968 GTOs, and the Black Beauty Imperial to look forward too!
  6. Well, that's cooler than the other side of the pillow! I'll be needing one of these for sure..
  7. That Jeep truck is killer!
  8. I laughed, this is as funny as it is accurate! Between myself and my other family members, I'd wager that over half of the Mopars we've owned were those three colors. Also "root beer" brown and gold seemed to be pretty abundant..
  9. There is one of these a few miles from my farm. It is sunk up to the center caps by a garage, but it sure is cool looking in black paint with orange stripes.
  10. I reckon anyone saying nay on how cool a kit of a '64 Dodge Dart would be, is doing so only because they haven't seen one in person for many years, or EVER. I'd have to buy two kits of it just on principal..
  11. I too have the four '69-'72 Ford trucks issued so far, I'll be getting the 4x4 too, and of course the way cool '65-'66 trucks whenever they're released. This is good, as that tooling could and probably will be done as a '64 as well I'd guess, AND of course all kinds of room in the future for multiple body styles. Rounding out the bump side trucks with the addition of the '67-'68 model years is a thing that definitely needs to happen too, IMO. I also have the four amazing stock Hudson kits, both of the stock '55 and '56 Chrysler 300's, the stock '65 Belvedere 1, and the '65 Satellite. I'll be getting that '61 Pontiac at some point too. This is truly the Renaissance age for model kits, and I personally dig the Moebius offerings over pretty much all the others. These are great days we're living bros! It would be most welcome to see further tooling of those Hudson kits, backdated, to say a '50 Commodore convertible and a '48 Commodore 8 coupe (for myself at least, I'd replicate the ones me and mine had back in the 90's), and even a slick '49 4-dr sedan, why not? The '55-'56 Chrysler kits have great re-tooling possibilities as many others have stated. With ample but worthwhile work, you could do '55-'56 DeSoto Fireflites, '56 Adventurer, '56 Indy 500 pace car, '55-'56 New Yorkers, and '55-'56 Imperials (PLEASE DO!!) in pretty much any body style. That '65 Satellite would make a top shelf convertible too, very SHARP car! I'd absolutely buy every single one of those, and multiple Imperials. I'd further add to this hypothetical work-load and say that we all need pretty much EVERY Dodge or Fargo truck from the B-Series ('48-'53), C-Series ('54-'60), and D-Series ('61-'93), '57 or '58 DeSoto, '60 Chrysler 300 F, a proper Black Beauty Imperial, any Fuselage era MoPars, and a great many others really. I'd buy multiples of 'em all without question. Being a huge fan I'll offer that yall over at Moebius got the skills, superb quality, and completely unique product line to pull something like this off without much trouble, effectively putting your kits even higher into the "Completely Peerless" catergory. These things said, and all dreaming aside, I for one will continue to look forward to all of the future Moebius releases in the months and years to come, no matter what they are!
  12. Nice! Recall wheels even. Thanks for posting pics, going to have to track one of these down too!
  13. https://www.shapeways.com/product/YKHUY8Y7G/miniature-vintage-bicycle-1-24?optionId=42578307 Here ya go For only $11.50, I thought it was just too cool to pass up
  14. The 4-Door hardtop? Got any pics? I'm thinking about buying it too..
  15. '76 AMC Gremlin '67 Supernatural Impala '79 Chrysler 300 A really cool 3d printed 1/24 vintage bicycle The rest are dust catchers for now
  16. vintagedragcrazy, DrKerry, and Mopar-D are real stand up fellas! I'd trade with 'em anytime
  17. Got these from Air-Trax last week, and man are they nice! Go ahead, send these guys your money, you won't regret it..As soon as they make more obscure Mopars, I'm buying 'em!
  18. Yeah, ditto on those wheels, they look sharp! I have this kit, and while I'm not too keen on the t-tops, I have not one other complaint about it...It's a relic of sorts, and it's totally different, AND, it goes right along with my MPC '77 Volare. To top it off, it has some really nifty pad printed tires included that I would love to see sold X 8 in a tire parts pack. They would look right at home on the '83 Hurst Olds, and others. I have plans to buy another '80 and build it as a no option, slant six car..
  19. Yeah, Lunar Module Pilot, this was Alan Bean's job on the Apollo 12 mission.. Thanks yall for the hubcap info, I went ahead and ordered a set from that eBay seller.. Also, thanks to some info posted on the "Rapid Transit System Paint Code 'Cuda" thread, I was able to source a set of HO scale white pinstripes from Microscale.. Now, to actually build the thing!
  20. This is correct, I must have over looked it somehow..I'll be giving this fella a call this week and order some of these goodies.. Also, that is a WAAAAAY cool avatar picture sir, I've been watching Red Green since like the mid 90's! Gotta love the possum van!
  21. I'm currently trying to figure that one out myself! I'll post up proper details when I get em..
  22. From the long list of build plans I have, this '69 AstroVette. They were designed exclusively for each of the Apollo 12 crew, and the pics are of Alan Bean's car. Pretty cool I thought. Still hunting some details about the real cars, and hunting down a source for those hubcaps in 1/25 scale.
  23. This Hudson convertible up top from Motor City Resin Casters. It looks like the real deal!
