First one completed this year. I painted it about 2 years ago with Testors GM Dark Cherry over the kit's black plastic. I live on top of a small mountain, and it's usually very windy in winter. So I went to my dad's house while he wasn't home and sprayed it in his garage lol Built out if the box except for the Cragar-looking wheels from a Revell GTO and parts box valve covers.

Finished this Dodge 330 yesterday. Its rained here for more than a week straight. I paint outside, so any new project will have to wait until the humidity goes down. This dodge was started (and nearly finished) 3 years ago, but one of our cats got hold of it. Several things were broken and the paint on the hood was messed up. I managed to fix everything and somewhat clean the hood up.

I tried to remove a scratch on a chrome bumper with Novus once. It took the chrome off.

Beautiful build

Only pic right now. I think it's Light Gunmetal.

I have a couple, I'll try to get pics.

I'm looking for contest pics that are stored online somewhere (like fotki) that I may browse. Reason being, I'm on a nostalgia kick lately. I'm trying to recreate some of my past builds that have been lost to time. I used to frequent contests throughout Kentucky from about 1996 to 2006. Someone (hopefully) took pics. I've found a few on fotki, but most of them were blurry when clicked upon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nice build. I have several of those kits waiting.

Thanks! The paint is Testors metallic blue (I forget which one) over Tamiya aluminum.

Awesome build. I like it a lot in red. Most people do them in blue or white.

Thanks. I appreciate your help.

Just a few I've built in the last 6 years. In order: MPC 74 Cuda pro street MPC 80 Volare MPC 74 Charger "Supercharger" MPC 75/76 Dart Amt 80 Plymouth Horizon TC3

That's not a typo. This one began as a Revell/Monogram 71 GTX, and was built that way. However, it was damaged when I moved (tire marks in paint, missing parts) so I fixed it with what I had on hand. I couldn't part it out (like so many others) as its the first kit my wife bought for me. I contoured the nose to fit a 71 Charger grill. It has a hood somewhere, but I'm not done building a scoop yet.

Built box stock except for posing the front wheels.

When I was a teen, I built the then brand new Amt 93 Ranger. I'd like to try my hand at it again, so off to ebay I went... Anyway, I'm seeing several 95s in Coke packaging. Does this version have the optional parts that the earlier release had? Mainly the custom wheels? Thanks!

Try finding anything for one of these in a junkyard. Here locally about a year ago, a junkyard got one in. They wanted $250 for a tailgate that was badly dented and slightly rusty.

Nice! I like it

Cool. I might get one for nostalgia. I bought that kit new when I was 9. I remember painting it with some really hot aerosol that was on discount. You could grate cheese on that paintjob lol

I haven't built a stock one, but I use a lot of the pro street Novas as donors. There's a lot of flash and raised ejector pin bumps. The chassis alone takes forever (it so it seems) to clean up.

Nice build!

Nice build. As for the year, it looks like a 73 or 74.

The last of my finished 78/79 Firestone kits. I have a few more planned. This one was converted the same way as the 78 long bed. I added the two tone chrome trim because I originally planned on a blue/white paint scheme, but it just didnt happen (it's been a few years, cant remember why lol)

I got a little time today, so added some armor. I also found a BMW turbo i4 that might fit good.

I have to buy this when it becomes available. Supernatural is my wife's favorite show and she wants their car in the display case. I'll probably end up with two or three so I can put the wheels on some future pickup builds.

Here's about all that's left of the original.
