I would use the Lindberg chassis as well. Revell 68-69 Charger and Johan C-body Chrysler or Plymouth are other options.

Same idea, but I carved the detail into a single piece of styrene and then curved it around the vertical axis. I also reinforced it with a strip on the inside which I filed to fit after the glue had dried. Others have suggested reinforcing with wire which seems like a great idea.

All are Beautiful. Great paint and decal work. They all look so real!

Nice variety snd good clean builds. Nicely done!

Wow. Nice build. The under hood detail is fantastic!

Really nice!

That's a fine lot of really well built models!

Thanks for the tip. That's good advice. I will definitely try it with colors but I'm still a little leery about the cloudiness when I mix lacquer thinner with clear. Here's the clear I'm using. It's actually Boyd's by Testors. I've been playing around with the clear and this thinner that I got at the boat store and never used. It looks promising, but I only brushed it on so far. It's a little "oily" and has a longish cure time but dries with a good sheen.

All good advice! Thanks guys. I'll play around with it and let you know what works.

I just tried mixing Model Master clear coat with lacquer thinner and it looks really cloudy. Maybe it only works with colors?

Can lacquer thinner be used as a reducer for airbrushing Testors enamels? I still have a lot of them. I would like to have a hardware store substitute for Testors airbrush thinner. Trying not to pay $5 for 1.75 ounces. I also have acetone, mineral spirits, xylene, naphtha and automotive paint reducer. What are you guys using?

Nice job recreating your old truck. It's especially fun and a challenge doing a build that represents something from your past.

Sweet ride!

Beautiful stuff. The Plymouth is a work of art!

Very nice, clean builds, and great photography too!

Great stuff. They are all awesome builds!

Good stuff. Keep them coming!

Some wild looking stuff there. Nicely done!

I built 10 this year and bought about the same. I sold about 15 though so the closet is emptying a little....

One quality build! Hope you have a better year in 2025.

Nice collection! I especially like the Ford GT.

Nice work on the weathering. Everything looks very realistic. I'll be following!

All sweet rides!

Nice stuff, and great variety!
