  1. To me, the first can has a little bit of a brown tint to it. Definitely think the second color is better. Get a box of Wheaties and spray some on it to see how close they are.
  2. I heard they ran the '66 grills because you could narrow them up and not get noticed.
  3. As for the Mustang AFX, MCW made one awhile back that was a nice complete kit. If enough people contact them, they may make some new molds.
  4. What chassis are you using? Polar lights Torino/Talladega/Cyclone works well, just shorten the front some.
  5. That looks pretty neat.
  6. Bud Moore the car owner also fielded Mustangs very successfully in this series. Gave him an advantage in Nascar with the knowledge he gained running small block engines.
  7. Back when those cars were new, the dealers and even the factory would get you what you want, so either wheel may be correct.
  8. What are you thinning the paint with?
  9. I don't think it was on the car too long.
  10. Is it me, but I couldn't get any pictures to open
  11. The round decal on the rear quarter I believe was something to do with USA race team. You might try googling that.
  12. Are thinking of the Accurate Miniatures kit of the Grand Sports? I believe they are getting a little hard to find also.
  13. Just looked at Harts Parts site and he has several Challenger flat hoods for AMT and Revell.
  14. Looks real, except for that hand in one picture.
  15. Didn't watch it, the still shot was enough to turn me off.
  16. Harts Parts has a lot of Mopar pieces in resin. Very good to deal with.
  17. I've seen that picture also, have it on a flash drive somewhere. I started that car before the kits came out using the MCW resin parts. I painted that engine orange. Have you seen the pictures of the sedan with just the back wheels moved forward?
  18. I believe early in '65 their engines may have been hemi orange. But later in the year they were painted Ford blue. They were selling engines to other teams in different categories and levels and Jake wanted to be able to tell if it was one of his at a glance.
  19. The way you are cranking them out, do both the carbureted steel wheel car and the injected later version.
  20. When I mentioned in a previous reply that it left me shaking my head, I wasn't referring to the bodies, I kinda liked them. I had issues with the roll bar that looks like it's 4" scale diameter, the driver seat that looks like it should be for a baby, and a frame that doesn't touch the body anywhere.
  21. If you are going to do the Rudd car, Mike's Decals has the Powerslide sheet for that car, and I noticed it's on sale at the moment.
  22. I know exactly what you mean. I was sitting in my recliner when I opened that kit. When the realization of what was in the box hit, the box and contents went sailing across the room. Probably still some parts behind the TV hutch
  23. Love the earlier Monogram nascar kits. Are you building the Rudd car or something else?
  24. The bumpers I'm sure were painted red due to being manipulated a little and Bobby not wanting to pay a chrome plating bill. Excellent job Mark. I bought 2 of those kits when they were reissued and forgot how bad they are.
