Awesome, let me know if you find anything, thanks!

Yo, first, THANK YOU to everybody that has done some tradin with me, and all yall that have helped me out with the locating of missing parts, yall rock! Now, for this Revell '36 Ford coupe I recently got, I am needing three parts for it.. This rumble seat lid ^^^^ And both the left, and right hood sides, the stock ones like these ^^^^ not the smooth custom ones.. The release of this kit that I got is the Car Show series with the purple and silver custom coupe box art.. It doesn't particularly matter which kit release the parts come from though, as long as they are the stock parts.. PLEASE, let me know if you got em, I've got stuff to trade you for em, drop me a PM! THANK YOU!

Yeah dude, totally.. I came here to say this too.. Grandview Hobbies has been my go-to hobby shop ever since I first started building as a kid in the early 90s.. I live a little over 2 hours West of there these days, but still make the drive over and stop in a few times a year.. Fella ALWAYS has an excellent inventory, cool built-ups on display - many of which are available for sale, and even a secret stash of vintage kits he dips into and makes available from time to time.. Cool dude, knowledgeable, cool place, probably the last of the old school hobby shops in Cbus, and well worth the trip to visit..

Yeah dude, I'd freakin buy a case of these things if someone ever did make em!

I've seen it happen where dudes say that about a kit, but THEN, they see all the builds people are doin, see how nice it is, etc, etc.. And then buy it anyway!

Yes, there will eventually be an injection molded styrene, bona-fide model kit done of a, or several, Fuselage Era MoPars.. As much as I like Round2, I wouldn't count on them to be the ones to do it.. This seems like something that one could see Moebius getting into.. and if they did tool up some Fuselage cars, they'd probably be something along the lines of a '70-'71 Plymouth Sport Fury GT, a '70-'73 Imperial, and a '70 Chrysler 300 Hurst.. and they would be EXCELLENT! And what kit builder among us can honestly say that they WOULDN'T buy one? That is correct, NONE of you would say that.. Ever dang one of us sees THIS ^^^^^^ in a box that says Moebius on it is gonna have to have one!

Yep, that'd be pretty slick alright..

Thanks for that, and yeah, I like to primarily use Year of Manufacture plates on my stuff, but, at the moment, am just goin with what I have on hand..

These have been FOUND! THANK YOU SIR! PLEASE REMOVE THIS POST

That Fiero! Holy smokes! I see an Indy Fiero build in the future..

Those sure appear to be the ones I'm lookin for!

I think the headlamps have been taken care of.. THANKS DUDE! If anybody has got the grille/bumper please PM me!

I have a lonnnnnnng history with tornados, which I won't get into here.. But, the 2025 season is approaching, and I was doin a bit of research on past outbreaks and whatnot, and I happened across this picture.. It was taken in the aftermath of the April, 11 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak, somewhere in northern Ohio.. Looks to have been a really clean turquoise an white '55 Bel Air hardtop.. It's identical to the one my uncle Dave has owned since 1957! Anyway, I thought it was cool..

PM sent, THANK YOU!

PM sent on one of them Mustang Indy Pace Cars!

Thanks dude! Dunno WHEN it'll be, but I'll post up pics when they're done..

Yo, I'm in need of this grille/bumper, and both of these headlamp/bezels --> These woulda been in the 1/24 scale Buick NASCAR kits, UNO, Mt. Dew, etc.. Let me know if you have em, I really could use em, I'll trade ya somethin! THANKS! Later -

Last one I got anythin done on is one of my all-time favorites, the ol AMT/Ertl '56 Ford Crown Victoria.. It's gonna represent one of the 603 Crown Vics built in '56 with the Skyliner roof option.. If any of you dudes are familiar with powder coating, there's this transparent, incredibly temperature resistant tape that is used to keep threaded parts from getting powder on em, anyway, it's transparent green, dunno what it's actually called, BUT, it is pretty much perfect for replicating the color of the factory tinted plexi top insert on these cars.. Got the Crown installed, roof insert tinted, painted me some whitewalls, an started makin a set of factory fender skirts from the section of roof that I cut out.. Got some California black plates in progress too, BUT, would much rather have some 1956 OHIO plates if any of yall happens to have a pair they'd wanna trade to me.. It'll be two-tone medium green an dark green using factory colors..

Made some improvements on my MPC '72 GTO too.. You know, the '69 Hurst/Olds chassis fits this thing like a glove, has the correct wheelbase, parts, an everything.. I also swapped in the cowl an core support from the H/O body which was pretty straight forward.. It's a totally different kit now, a million times better after that swap.. It's gonna represent one of the 310 GTO hardtops built in '72 with the 455 H.O. and a 4-speed.. I'm sure I'll do somethin about the quarter window area of the roof, and those flippin headlamps.. And because I really dig this kit now, it's gettin those Canuck3D upgrade parts, an a set of them sweet Fireball Snowflake wheels.. Still need an engine, and probably a better set of tires.. It'll be that light Lime Green metallic color that many, many of these were painted..

I also got some stuff done on my AMT Craftsman Plus 1968 GTO.. It's gonna represent one of the 757 GTO hardtops built in '68 with Ram Air and a 4-speed.. Gonna get some of them sweet Fireball Rallye IIs for it.. Removed the GTO lettering from the quarters as the real ones had decals, not emblems, and painted up the taillights properly.. This un will be Verdoro Green.. I absolutely LOVE this kit, and there's plans for at least 3 more builds of em in my future..

Just got over the WORST flu ever.. During moments of lucidity and no pain, I got some stuff done over the past couple weeks.. First one is some fixin on the MPC Super Judge funny car.. I'm thankful that Round2 made this thing available to us at all, for sure! But, I reckon yall probably know that this kit is quite wrong if you wanna build an accurate lookin funny car body.. Check THIS out though, the stock 1969 body in the kit is EXACTLY the same dimensionally as the sweet new '68 GTO kit, and that chassis, glass, and interior tub fits in the 1969 Super Judge body perfectly.. Do with that information what you will.. ANYWAY, the real car that ran in the 1969 season was NOT a stock lookin GTO body like the 1968 season car had, rather, it had a wedge chopped roof, no panel lines except for the doors, no trim, no emblems, had stretched wheel well openings, and some other differences as well.. It also ran Goodyear tires, and had a different set of wheels.. Here's a pic of the real 1969 season funny car : So, I wanted to make my build look a bit more like the real one, WITHOUT gettin in too deep on it so that it'd look a bit cooler on my shelf.. So, I filled panel lines, removed trim, chopped the roof some, totally reshaped the rear spoiler an wheel wells, and I think it looks better now.. The orange glass has also been cut an fitted, an it fits proper, but is just sorta taped in currently.. Also, the kit grille is missing the 1969 grille bars, so I threw a couple of them in too, an it turned out ok.. I'm just gonna finish er up using kit decals an stuff, and it'll suit me.. As a side note, I know where the actual 1969 Super Judge body is, AND I know the dude who owns the original chassis, which became the Boss Bird for the 1970 season.. That car has been fully restored back to the Boss Bird an he races the heel outta that thing!

Dang, that's cool!

Yeah, THIS dude was EVERYWHERE and saw EVERY cool car EVER, and lucky for us all, took ALL the photos, and posted em on the internets for us to gawk at! There's a bakers dozen other photo archives like his on that same site that are well worth lookin thru.. You'll find stuff on there that ain't posted nowhere else online.. Timekiller and invaluable resource!

That 1960 Chrysler 300 F coupe posted above is beautiful and rare! It is 1-of-28 coupes built with Code 999 Special Order Paint! Anyway, tailfins an chrome.. I got enough in my digital archives to make this thread 30 pages long! One day, I'll probably make some dedicated threads on here with all of my reference pics by make/model etc.. But, for now, I'll just post a handful.. Also, NOBODY did tailfins as good as Exner did! '57 Chrysler Saratoga ^^^ '58 Chrysler Saratoga ^^^ '56 DeSoto Adventurer ^^^ '57 DeSoto Adventurer ^^^ '58 DeSoto Adventurer convertible that is 1-of-1 built with the futuristic Bendix Electrojector ^^^ '59 DeSoto Adventurer convertible ^^^ '58 Dodge Regal Lancer D-500 ^^^ '60 Imperial LeBaron ^^^ '58 Plymouth Fury ^^^ '60 Plymouth Fury ^^^

Yo, sorry, ALL this stuff is long gone, this posting needs to be removed.. I'll have more stuff up in the future though..
