Fair enough. Thanks John

I just bought Revell's Dom's 71 GTX and want to build a stock GTX. Where can I get information on the chassis colors for a stock build. I know the sheet metal was the body color but what about the front suspension and cross members? Thanks-John

This is a more accurate color image. That first one was in "mixed" lighting.---John

Tamiya yellow.---John

Like it! My favorite breakfast!!!!---John

Yup factory colors! The burnt orange wasn't for Superbirds. Someone in the paint shop "accidentally" painted it that so the story goes. They let 2 or 3 go that way I guess that's why they are so rare.---John

Thanks. That's where I am going to be at soon, stalled. I'm still looking for a match for that color, burnt orange , in rattle cans. No airbrush here nor will there ever be one. So I will hunt the hobby shops, Wal Mart and Home Depot to try to find a decent match.---John

The black one I did, doubt Plymouth ever did it in black. At the time I believe I was doing stealth aircraft and thought this would fit right in.---John

This will be OOB. I decided to start it while waiting on paint for the Daytona Charger. I am thinking maybe of painting it that unique burnt orange color if I can find a good match. I did one a few years ago in basic black.---John

Thanks, I have the nose and body primed white. Need to buy more primer.---John

Like the 2 tone scheme!

NICE! Like the body style, reminds me of a cross between my '74 Duster and my '70 Dart. I almost bought a white '74 3 speed that looked sorta like that but with less style!---John

It's done----In "Under Glass"---John

Thanks, the only problem I have is they muffed up the pre painted headlights, They did 1/2 to 3/4 of the chrome ring around the front of the headlight housing. It should be ALL yellow with no chrome ring showing. I have seen where some guy painted the ring silver but that's NOT the way the movie car was, got lotsa images. I also wished they had put the windshield wiper on, am I asking too much? LOL---John

Done.---John

Body joined to chassis. Note the lack of a solid axle on the front wheels.---John

Any idea of MSRP ? $30-$40 maybe?---John

I have the interior and body together. The top did NOT want to seat on the bottom of the body after I added the interior and glass so I super glued the line up pins and area where the firewall will go. It is visible in the first image below. It now has a tighter fit along the seam running down the body at door handle level.---John

I NEED one, had a '73 RR off the showroom floor, gold with white stripe, had a 360 and a slapstick auto. Made in Canada. Where do I get one?????---John

I have the wheels glued to the backing plates. I use a homemade jig to help heep the wheels in line and squared up and down. Works OK for me, 2 empty cigar boxes courtesy of my wife's work.---John

I drilled the exhausts out and have finished the chassis. I am going to attach the wheels with NO metal axle. It is a pain and I don't like my static cars rolling around when I pick up their display cases. Also I have never seen a '32 Coupe with a solid front axle, looks more accurate with spindles. The wheels will glue in nicely to the backing plates on the front axle and rear end.---John

NICE tail dragger! Kinda reminds me of my grandfathers '49 Buick with the holes in the side.---John

The engine is done.---John

Thanks, some chassis work.---John

Nice build! Like the black paint job on it, gives it a "stealthy" look.---John
