    The wheels look awesome on this. Super looking build, I'll be browsing ebay now seeing this! lol

    Lovely looking custom. There's something about vintage custom builds that give them a very unique feel.

    Very nice, that deep blue paint looks great!

    Nice build. I really like the stance, looks like it's full throttle as the lights turn green!

    Gorgeous looking car, I love the colour. The whitewalls are well suited to those wheels. Very nice!

    I think it could still be done without loosing the '70. I don't know if it's the same in model car manufacturing but in 1-1 car manufacturing they use various plugs in the main mould to change certain trim levels of the same part.

    Didn't the '69 become the '70 when it was an annual? The current AMT Fire Chief Impala. Wouldn't take much to make it a '69 again.

    Love the custom rear end with it's quarter bumpers. I have an unbuilt annual '68 and '69. I'll be making resin casts of them, and the parts, when I get time so I can do both the box art custom and the Dick Landy version.

    I used to love building wooden kits, though the ones I used to build were out of matchsticks. Sounds like a hobby from a hundred years ago, I think they're still sold today. The kit had paper templates in the shape of the vehicle and you would glue matchsticks to them and glue all the panels together! Anyone remember them or built one? Loads of fun they were.

    I'd go for that. The 500 does away with the inaccurate rear window issue. Also, the 500's front grille, although is so-so, it's far better than the Country Charger with it's 3rd gen inserts. The hood that came with the 500 was also better fitting and more accurate to a '69. Some re-working on the front wheel arches and the cowl vent would make it a very nice 500 body.

    Now that's cool! Loved this show as a kid. I like how you've laid everything out and the wood panels bending from the impact. Very nice work.?
  12. doorsovdoon
    Don't know. True, the tooling is probably beyond repair but If it was remade as accurate as the annual, maybe even with improvements including all the custom parts, would you not buy one? ?

    I'll be dropping a lot of hints to my family these coming months! haha

    Used to buy these ex service vehicles for next to nothing at the auctions. I had a Bedford HA van in the 90's for my window cleaning round. It run great, but looked like it had been kicked about like a football! It was bright yellow inside with lots of shelving, hand painted navy blue outside with a silver A-Team style stripe on it, lol. I paid £50 for it, it even had a roof rack! It was a great little van. Good memories.

    I had a battery powered plastic Mercedes Benz Police car in the 80's, a 200 W123. It had one of those wheels under the engine area with two smaller rubber wheels in it that would spin. It moved the car backward and forward in a kind of 'seeking' motion. The lights also lit up and made a siren sound through a piezo speaker. It was a very accurate body if I remember but no idea what company made it. It was about 1/18 scale. My mum bought it for me at a small town market at one of those toy shops that sold odd but really good toys you never saw at the bigger chains. Would love to find one but I can't even find a picture of one.

    Dang, that looks good! Love the wheels, and the paint looks smooth as butter... same colour too!
  17. doorsovdoon
    Amazing paint, looks like a real car! Very clean build, I really like this one. Lovely work.?
  18. doorsovdoon
    The black with red stripe is looking sharp. Lovely build.
  19. doorsovdoon
    A box art worthy build there! Very nice work.

    I remember these things being a big fad. My eldest son had a couple of them, I hated them! When he was older I threw it out in the trash and it must have got wet, started making this screaming sound in the bag, it wouldn't shut up all night, lol.

    These '65 Galaxies are nice kits. Lovely colour and good job on the roof.

    oh for sure. The body is spot on, they even had the little latches on the smokers windows! Absent on the Revell version.

    The Charger chassis is still pretty good I found, even the engine isn't all that bad. Though saying that, the Coronet is crisp and new and does have a much nicer wheel and axle fitment compared to what the Country Charger has. A clean scan of the annual bodies and a redo of the custom/chrome parts would make it a big seller. The annual kits sell for nearly £200, with the promos going for twice or even three times that. Would definitely be a strong competitor to the Revell.

    Nice! Love the retro box art too.
