Well, clearly it can't be anywhere near 82mm, because the thing would scale out to about 7ft wide. I'm more inclined to believe Chris V's measurements.

If only there was a way of scaling an stil file in the slicer...

Surely that isn't going to be the box art? 🤦‍♂️

In that case, I would procure an original Jo-Han kit.

I ended up going the 3D printing route. Still a work in progress, but nearly there....

Yeah, those are way too big. If you work from a known dimension and scale the model correctly, you only have to print it once. 🤔 The real car had a 4 speed anyway - might as well use the Nova tranny. BTW, the heads are the wrong way around, if that matters to you...

I prefer Tamiya's LP-65 rubber black.

Beyond niche... neither of these entities claiming the Jo-Han name is capable of reproducing the lost tooling or even running any of the tooling that might still exist. I would love to be able to buy a reissued Jo-Han 1966 Chrysler 300, 1968 Olds 442 or 1970 Plymouth GTX, but it will never happen. Registering a variation of a defunct trading name and banging out cobbled together leftovers or limited production resin kits is not bringing back Jo-Han. I'd have more respect for them if they just used their own business names and admitted what they were. As has been mentioned several times, neither version of "Jo-Han" is a mainstream, volume manufacturer. This belongs in the aftermarket section.

My nearly 40 year old copy is almost falling apart, but you can find in online now. https://archive.org/details/standardcatalogo0000unse_k2c4

I just use a calculator. 🤨

The cab looks like the old Lindberg one, sanded smooth. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/linberg/lindberg-32-pickup-/#media

Looks like this one: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/hobby-diy/automotive/dodge-polara-sedan-1969 Seems there are a few people printing and selling his files.

I was about to point out that the engine in the Coronet is orange and that's a 440... seems possible he painted all his engines Hemi orange.

Good effort, but not quite correct.

I printed a grille for this - it could probably do with a bit of refinement. 🫤
