That sucks, having COVID, not the model. Model is pretty cool. Hope y'all are over it soon.

You might try clearing it and then polish out

I usually do the hot water/cold water to try to fix things. Takes awhile.

Small drill bits break easily, so I usually get a pack from Harbor Freight for a couple bucks.

Don't see nothing "deteriorated" about that.

You can keep reusing the Westleys. I have some in a Tupperware bread box that has been there about 5 years now. Some casters still use a mold release, so I still soak my parts.

The last photo you show is early 1967. It has Dougs Headers on it. He switched (at least stickers) to Hooker Headers.

Looks good, is that decals over one base color or did you have to apply more than one color

I ran into the guy who drove the Sox & Martin transporter in the late 60's. He said the white interior car was a clinic car like you mentioned. It would travel to dealerships and local celebrities would drive it. They started this in 1967. In 1968, they had a Roadrunner doing the same duty when someone had a bad wreck with it and Chrysler stopped doing it. The cars Ronnie drove where actually Belvederes badged as GTXs. The Belvedere was lighter, but Plymouth would rather sell you the more expensive GTX. That's why there was no rocker trim on them. They would also swap different types of engines in the second car to run different classes. I don't know if they sold any cars during the season and replaced them. This happened more during the Cuda years. Hope this helps clear things up some.

Just curious, older bottles of Testors had the price printed on the cap. Do any of them have that and if so, what was the amount.

VCG Resins has them also

I think Iceman Collections has that

Nice setting also

Very nice build, this kit does have its faults, but yours looks real good.

Been following along on your build, turned out exceptionally well.

I use the cheap Badger, the one they don't lock up in the case. Usually $20 to $25. I shoot mostly lacquer paint and it does well.

Who knows. When something comes out and you buy several, it ends up getting reissued a lot with updated and extra parts. But if you don't get several, then it certainly won't be available again.

Butch ran a Dart, don't know if it was one of the factory Hemis, and a Coronet as far as Dodges go. Don't know what classes they ran in, possibly with someone else driving, but they had the orange and white California Flash paint schemes.

One personal example, both kits listed as 1/25 scale. I was taking the chassis and drive train from the Revell Hemi Dart and putting it under the old MPC '69 Barracuda. I had to trim about 1/4" out of the wheel base and I think it had to be narrowed too. Should have been a drop in.

The Monogram has an inline 6, I don't think the others do.

The MCW is a nice body and comes with a base interior. I'd wait on it. If you are like me, you have a bunch of other projects you can work on.

Mark never ceases to amaze me, I always enjoy reading his responses.

MCW made it awhile back, not sure if they still do. You could contact Mike and ask him if it's not currently available.

Wow, that's really nice. I like the modifications you did to the frame. I have been working on one of these kits (doing Richard Petty) and intended to scrap the chassis. Now I think what you did would be great under this car. Thanks for sharing your information.

Good choice on the wheels
