  1. How about it I would buy a few just for those deep dish crager s/s wheels
  2. The great Moebius kit finished in Testors white and colors by Boyd CheZoom teal pearl enamel . Boy i sure wish someone like possibly round 2 would buy whats left of the Testors line and bring all the colors back I really miss them The decals are from the talented Chuck Boener . Another fun Awb mopar build . Until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  3. Yea I’m eastern PA . I sure miss that York show
  4. Beautiful Willy’s nice paint color
  5. I’ve always liked the paint and lettering on this car . You did a fantastic job as always.
  6. Great use of an inexpensive hobby lobby kit . Looks great
  7. Yea me to he and his wife had the best outfits
  8. John this one’s my favorite and you did a fantastic job the paint colors look right , the right blower parts , the headers came out great . I completely agree the fit is definitely better on the Plymouth is slightly better .
  9. Yes John that is his eBay store all his decals are of high quality I’ve never had any issues, and I highly recommend. I believe he has more choices then what are posted o eBay. I’ve gotten quite a few from him over the years. I have a work in progress on the twin turbo car accumulating all the turbo parts has been really tough I’ve been really hoping that someone would 3-D print it . I got some resin casted turbos but I’m not really happy with them as they look to small .
  10. The fantastic Moebius kit sprayed with Tamyia white and bright red topped with a set of Chris Walsh decals . The version I built is the later in year into 1966 version . The magazine reference photos show the early season carbureted version which I will most likely build down the road sometime. Chris Walsh has decals to do both versions. In my opinion this was the best looking of all the Awb Mopars . This is the very first issue of my dads old super stock magazines I got my hands on I think I was 12 or 13 years old it still remains as my favorite issue I can still remember drooling over the full color center fold . until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  11. It shouldn’t be that expensive as it’s a current Revell kit
  12. It would be really nice to have those boomerang tail lights back
  13. It came out really nice the right color just the right stance with an accurate mix of parts, and the decals look great . I can’t wait to see your next project.
  14. It looks fantastic that’s one toy I haven’t built
  15. The AMT 49 Ford Gas’s Man kit has a nice set of narrow cheater slicks
  16. I don’t know if you decided on a chassis and drivetrain yet . I used the chassis and drivetrain from the Revell 67 Sox & Martin GTX kit when I built this almost 35 years ago and it fit exceptionally well . I also would say the 6 pack hood is the way to go I wish I had had that option. The paint work and decals came out great
  17. This one’s all Moebius I used Testors white enamel , and decals from 2 Moebius sheets that I was able to purchase separately. The ones that came in the super stock kit. These are really nice decals plus they have the right shade of metallic blue . I’m really having a blast building these 65 AWB MOPARS . Until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  18. The moebius kit with Tamyia bright red paint and Slixx decals . A nice straight forward build. Until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  19. Nice work the black paint job looks killer and the wheels and stance are right on . I once used to really dread black jobs to however since I’ve switched to the Tamyia lacquer as long as I have low humidity I’ve had really great results.
  20. Yea John I’m very fortunate to have quite a few of his builds as we worked together until he passed away we were very close . Thanks for your interest in all my builds it means a lot to me
  21. Yea John the decals went on really smooth with no problems at all . The 65’s will be all I’ll be building for awhile I’m really looking forward to getting them all done . As it sits right now I’ll need a few more dodge kits and a couple resin sedan bodies. I have to agree the photo opp’s will be great .
  22. This is an out of the box build of the Moebius kit . It’s sprayed with Tamyia gloss white and topped with decals from Chuck Boehner . This is the version of the Ramchargers 65 car that my dad would have liked to been able to build when he built his AMT kit in 1966 . A big thanks to Moebius and chuck for making this build a possibility all these years later until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  23. When my dad built this kit he had to be about 17 or 18 years old and already owned his 64 super stock dodge . He said it was such a cool kit that was basically the same body style of his street car . Because the Ramchargers car was white he saw no reason to waste paint on the body . So he painted the engine and the interior then on went the decals . On the shelf it went . I inherited this car when he gave me his collection in 1984 . Then it moved to my shelf where it has lived ever since . To get it ready for photos I cleaned the years of dust and cigarette smoke discoloring with my favorite cleaner Meguiar’s spray quick wax . I left the original 59 years of dust on the interior , and the decals show their original patina. I can still faintly smell the cigarette smell on it. It now provides endless happy memories of the builder my dad . This kit has good relevance right know with all of the AWB 65 Mopar kits I’ve been building lately. In my opinion the original box art is some of the best ever . until next time , thanks for looking , Mike
  24. The tennis balls just make it whatever color paint you used they look like the real thing
