Every single word that THIS dude said!

I think so.. Thanks!

I am looking for these three specific decals from the Revell '68 Dodge Dart Hemi kit, they are numbers 6, 11, and 13.. Here are terrible pics : These represent the various factory info and warning papers which were stuck to the windshields of the 50 Hemi Darts and 50 Hemi Barracudas as delivered in '68.. Need these for my '68 Barracuda build.. I have things to trade to you for them, thanks!

Right on, nice build! Bottle trucks are the coolest

Is it taking advantage? If the dude selling them kits didn't think to look at the internet in some attempt at valuation.. Well, that seems like a seller problem, NOT a buyer problem.. I dunno.. I DO know that I myself would be super thrilled to grab up another '62 Chrysler kit for ANYTHING less than $50 bones!

This place, right here, is TOTALLY worth the trip btw..

Holy smokes, thanks for the link!

I mean, I've called BS on some of these barn finds before, as many of them are obviously staged.. This one looks legit though, to me at least.. And they're DEFINITELY still out there.. I personally know of 4 large collections, though nowhere near 300 cars, more like 40-50 cars, within 50 miles of my location, that look like this.. One collection, the nearest to me, is nothing but mid to late 60s Pontiacs, ALL 2-doors or convertibles, Bonnevilles, 2+2s, Catalinas, Grand Prixs, and GTOs.. About 50 cars in total, crammed sardine style into an old dairy barn, been there untouched since the early 80s, none for sale.. Another collection pretty local to me, of about 40 cars, all convertible Chevys, '60-'68 Impalas, '67-'69 Camaros, and a handful of Malibus and Chevelles.. Crammed into a long quonset hut type structure, all basically untouched since, again, the early 80s, none for sale.. There's an EXCELLENT '63 Impala SS 4-speed convertible in there, small block car, red, red interior, white top, needs fully restored of course, but I'll bet it was a real looker once upon a time.. There's another place just outside Columbus with nothing but tri-five Chevys sinking into the ground, maybe 40 or so cars outside, all body styles, none in great shape, the one right next to the road is, I shite you not, a red '57 Bel Air FUEL INJECTION convertible with a white top that is sunk up to its rocker panels in the yard, looks like it's been there for forty years, there's a huge pole barn on the property that is likely filled with cars, BUT, the dude who owns em all ain't very friendly at all, he'll show you his gun collection just for stopping in the road in front of his place, let alone pulling into his laneway.. Anybody on here in Ohio that has driven down SR 161 outside of Columbus knows exactly where all them tri-fives sit.. The last big a$$ collection I know about is 50-60 cars strong, and 99% Chevy Chevelles, spread over a large farm, and filling 5 or 6 buildings.. Name a rare Chevelle, go ahead, rarest one, and there's at least 1 of em at this dudes place.. Only time I've personally ever seen a '65 Z-16 or a COPO 427 Chevelle outside of a magazine.. I'll bet half of his collection consists of 1970 Super Sports, 396s, LS5 and LS6 cars.. Dude has been collecting them since the 70s, and they've been sitting in his barns for just as long.. I actually managed to buy the only car that WASN'T a Chevelle off of him, a ratty but complete '68 LeMans convertible that I stripped apart to contribute to the restoration of my '68 Ram Air II 4-speed GTO convertible, which is still a basket case.. ANYWAY, point is, I'm one dude in the middle of Ohio and I found 4 places like what's in that video, and in addition, I can think of at least 20 or 25 more stashes of old cars around here consisting of 5 cars or less.. Including my own lol.. So, yeah they're definitely still out there, just gotta do like it says in the good book, seek and you shall find!

I been on this kick lately where I'm building all the heaps I owned in real life, tryin to at least, so, I reckon I'll get one of them Novas to replicate a really cr@pppy kind of burnt orange-ish '77 six-cylinder Nova coupe I had in the early '00s.. Round2 is the undisputed King of the Hill!

Took the words right outta my mouth!

Thanks for the link!

BOTH of these are excellent ideas! So is the reissueing of the '68 Ford Torino Pace Car convertible.. And I'll say it again : If the '58 Belvedere were to either be corrected or turned into a proper '58 Fury.. OR.. Better still, corrected and turned into either a '57 Belvedere or '57 Fury.. I personally would buy 3 entire cases of that kit, maybe more, and I swear, that ISN'T an exaggeration!

DUDE, Moebius kits are Top-Shelf! I've bought multiple copies of the '55-56 Chryslers, '65 Plymouths, and the whole line of Hudsons, they're all excellent! If ever a Moebius Nissan truck were to materialize, I'd buy so many of em! Thatd be killer!

Thanks for posting this, I owned an incredibly rusted out one of these things for a while that I used as a yard truck for haulin brush and plowin snow on my farm.. Until it got so bad that if you opened the doors on both sides simultaneously the thing tried to fold in on itself lol Never knew there was a kit version, gonna try an track one down now..

This would be swell.. I had bought the 1/20 at one point, thinking I could get over the difference in scale just to have THE truck! I couldn't.. BUT, that kit is really nicely detailed, I think it'd be a huge seller for Round2 if they brought it out in 1/25..

THANKS for the link!

Round2 is ON POINT! Holy smokes!

Yo, So, in the early 2000s, and until around 2016-ish, a 2WD 1992 Nissan D-21 King Cab pickup served as my ready-steady dd, until it rusted into oblivion.. It was pretty much the same as the one in this pic, though mine was much darker green, and retained it's factory pinstripes and lettering, the one in this pic has clearly been repainted, and they didn't exactly get the color right : I was quite fond of the tough as nails, ugly little ba$tard, and I want to do a build of it.. So, the answer is YES, I am well aware of the 1/20 scale kit, and it is indeed nice and detailed, BUT I don't do 1/20 scale.. 1/24 or 1/25 so that it matches all my other stuff in terms of scale.. Do any of you know of a 1/24 kit in styrene, likely from a Japanese company, perhaps a resin kit, or a diecast? I appreciate any insight, thanks!

Great engine in this kit for sure! Isn't dual over head cams yer seein though, rather just some big a$$ rocker arms!

Yeah man, a '61 Starliner would be killer! I hoped I would be seeing news about that very thing as an upcoming release when I clicked this thread.. I have a pair of the '60 Starliners, I love em, and am plannin on buildin another one sometime.. But if a '61 were to potentially come along at some point, I'd be grabbing up two of em for sure.. The '61 is the best lookin of the two years..

This is an even better idea than just fixing up the '58.. Seriously, I'd buy a case of '57 Furys!

Man, I can't wait to get mine! I only ordered the one.. But after seeing pics of the decal sheet with black and white stripes, I'm gonna order another'n... Disregard the haters, this is excellent work!

At Chrysler Corporation, especially in those days, the customer was ALWAYS right, and the attitude of "Anything Goes" was standard operating procedure, provided the customer had the coin that is.. So naturally, there were many '57 Cs that left the factory in colors other than the standard 5.. So as not to derail this W.I.P. thread too much, I won't give the precise breakdown by color here, but I'll say that '57 Cs were built in a total of 20 colors, including the standard 5, AND 1 that was custom built in two-tone paint.. Anyway, this build is lookin good so far, nice paint job! And this IS a great kit, one of AMTs best, and my #1 favorite kit of them all.. Biggest inaccuracy in the kit is the smooth valve covers.. They should say "Chrysler Fire Power".. These can be found in the Moebius '55 and '56 kits, if one were so inclined..

Do all of the suggested stuff to the '58 Plymouth please! Everybody and their brother has a '58 Plymouth kit, probably several.. One with the trim issues corrected AND decals with seat inserts wouldn't be a hard sell at all, in my opinion.. I'd buy AT LEAST a case of em, and probably more! Also, your '65 and '68 GTOs, '68 Coronet, newest release of the '70 Super Bee, and THE BLACK BEAUTY, are EXCELLENT and ON-POINT! THANK YOU! I can't wait to get my '71 Demon, '60 and, '63 Ford pickups!

Well, I know what I want for Christmas, this is awesome!
