    needed

    Steamboat replied to Elrodbeckham's topic in Wanted!

    Are they the tires with the whitewall inserts? I have a few of them. No help with the convertible boot though.

    Anyone interested in this for parts? It's pretty rough and more of a project than I want to do. PM me and you can have it for the cost of shipping.

    Nothing looks better on a Z than slots. I 3d printed my own from my own design. Not quite the same as yours but close. IIRC I made a lot of suspension modifications to lower it to the ground. You can have the whole car if you want it.

    The Lindberg '64 Plymouth hardtop has the weird angle at the rear of the roof. The Lindberg 64 Dodge is a sedan. It's a long shot if they could be combined.

    Great trade with @xbazzarex.

    I like the cheapo rattle can flat black from Lowes, followed by a misting of Pledge on the sidewalls.

    Wow! Very nice!
  8. Steamboat
    Nice! I remember that being a tough one to build. You nailed it.

    That's a beauty! The paint is perfect and she looks good in black!

    The unibody is primer gray with a little body color overspray. The k-frame should be semi gloss black.

    Beautiful! I love the engine compartment details.

    Very nice!

    I'm on a mission to build cars I've owned, so my bucket list is a bit more obscure. 58-66 Dodge Town Wagon / Panel 73 Chrysler Newport 75 Plymouth Fury 71 Buick Sport Wagon Ford Granada 1st gen Dodge Dakota

    IMO the Lindberg slant 6 is better than the MPC.

    It can also be the interference between the interior door panels and the windshield. Either of them can be filed down to make it fit. It seems like I almost always end up lowering the dash a little bit. Not the case with the Duster kit, but if the windshield and rear window are molded as one piece, I remove the connecting piece that goes between them, allowing for a more precise fit of each piece. For stance correction, the front can sometimes be lowered by flipping the spindles or cutting some material off the top of the spindle and adding to the bottom. This can also escalate into having to shave thickness from the wheel wells to make the tires fit! Like others have said, test fit before paint.
