It looks really sharp nice job with the decal layout. These hemi darts are really nice kits and fun to build

Those are a couple of really nice Darts you’ve got there

I read somewhere that they originally had plans to tool other bodies to fit this chassis possibly Camaro and nova. It would be a really good move for round 2 to do this. By the way you did a fine job on this one the color is spot on.

I have been waiting to build this one for quite awhile now .By building a bunch of altered’s I became reinspired to get it done. For the main kit I used The iconic AMT double T kit most of the HEMI came out of the double dragster kit , the headers are made from solder and aluminum tubing. I think they really make the build. I used the wheels out the Revell Ms Deal kit this kit also gave up it’s front wish bones which I used for the ladder bars the slicks are AMT . I made the pick up box from balsa wood. The hydro transmission , and front spring and axle are left over parts from the Atlantis Fiat . The rear housing along with the steering wheel is from the AMT 56 Ford . I made the fuel tank mount from a paper clip , and the injector scoop was a leftover part from the AMT 40 Willy’s kit. I sprayed it with Testors fiery orange with wet look clear. No decals exist for this so I did the lettering by hand. I think it’s a pretty good representation these street roadsters are a whole lotta fun to create , and right now they’re are a whole bunch of parts available to bush them together. Until next time thanks for looking 👀, Mike

I just got this one finished it’s the AMT 1966 Chevelle . The kit wheels were swapped out for some steel wheels out of the parts box I believe they are Johann . I used the headers from the old pro nova kit and the slicks are AMT. The paint job is testors white enamel. As for the decals I have no clue who made them or how old they are, but what I didn’t find out until I put them on is that the clear that they used to seal them must’ve yellowed. I’m not real happy with how they came out. Unless I can get new ones made it’s what I’m stuck with. It’s still a pretty cool replica of a seldom seen stocker . Until next time thanks for looking.

Thanks John, the photos of these SEATON cars launching always looks rather violent and never straight. It seems that the whole left side is off the ground. This is the only way to see these cars photographed together as they most likely stripped the drivetrain from the 65 car to build the 66.

Thanks Scott I can’t wait to see your build now is a good time to build Chevelle’s as you can get them at hobby lobby for 40% off . The Corvairs are next on my Seaton Shaker list.

I built this from a resin body I have no idea who the maker was , but it’s a really nice body a relatively thin casting which didn’t require much prep.l’m about 95% sure the master was created from the Lindburg kit . I used the AMT 1967 chevelle pro street kit for the main parts donor. The Cragar ss wheels along with the slicks and front tires were fished out of the parts box . I fashioned the injector stacks from aluminum tubing mated to a manifold I made by modifying the 8 carb manifold from the AMT double dragster kit along with a piece from the parts pack corvair engine for the finned base . The body was sprayed with plane old testors enamel. As for the decals there are no sets for this car available . So I used the ones I had left over from my 65 car build along with some hand lettering with a fine tipped Sharpie. If you’re going to build a replica of this car this issue of Super Stock is a must have as there is a good reference article along with the cover shot of this car. It looks really sweet parked next to my 65 car. Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

I just got this one finished up it’s a combination of parts from the AMT model T for the body and front axle assembly with the wish bones from the Atlantis fiat . I did cut the pickup bed shorter and used the interior cover from the parts pack T .The frame and long block are from the AMT double dragster . The valve covers are are comp resin the blower is an old revell piece that been resting in my parts box for years. I’m not sure what the belt drive came from. The injector scoop is from the MPC Ohio George Mustang gasser. The rear wheels and slicks are also left overs from the Atlantis Fiat the rear is a parts box item relocated in a more forward position on the frame. I used one of the optional seats with belts from AMT’S 1964 Olds 442 hard top .I covered it with testors yellow enamel topped with decals from joe at Freemont resin. I’m really thrilled how this one came out using all leftover parts. Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

Looking good I really like the matte finish it’s got that rough around the edges old school look. Nice work

Wow you’re workmanship is outstanding

This is a mostly an out of the box build with parts box wheels and AMT slicks. The paint color is Tamyia maroon and the decals are old out of production Decals by Lucas . Boy were they fragile luckily I was able to fix some of them with a gold Sharpie . If you have old Lucas decals I would strongly suggest to have micro set and micro gloss one hand as they tend curl up and fall off. Also remember to keep your water very hot I like to boil mine in an electric tea pot .Yes the original TEXAN OLDS was a 1965 442. However I figured the chances of round 2 producing a 65 442 is slim to none and slim left town. If I was building another one I would do it with a white interior as it contrast with the dark body color better. This kit builds up really easy I’m so happy to see round 2 bringing back these simple to build kits of the 1960’s . I also find the bodies to be very accurate. Until next time thanks for looking.

This one’s a combination of parts from The AMT double dragster and a body from the MPC bantam blast. The big slicks are from the AMT parts pack. The double dragster frame was modified to fit the bantam body shell. The long block is also double dragster with the blower pieces coming from my parts box. It’s painted with testors metallic red topped with slixx decals. This issue of DRAG RACING MAGAZINE has great reference photos with a good article about this car it also is a great reference for the GOLDEN COMMANDOS awb 65 Plymouth. Until next time thanks for looking . Mike

I’m right there with you . The boss nova will make a good parts kit and I need the Pontiac for the box art that light weight grill and those 8 lug wheels. I’ve been really hoping a 63 Bonnieville complete with royal decals

I think they just wanted to get the convertibles sometime to sell as they are a slower seller than the hardtop

Looks great 👍. I know what you mean about the fit on these mustangs, but they show off really nice when you get them done. Really good job here.

Actually they could do a LA highway patrol Adam 12 Version with some cool box art. I guess it would all depend on how that Ford Galaxie cop car sold for them.

Wow you’re asking for a lot all I want is some Dick Landy decals

I built this from the AMT T PARTS PACK along with parts from the double dragster kit. The cut down model A grill shell was a left over piece from the mpc cougar funny car . I sprayed it tamyia light metallic blue the roll bar hoop is constructed from.080 styrene rod. The rear wheels are out of the AMT 1963 corvette. The header tubes and injector tubes are made from aluminum tubing the fuel tank is from the mpc bantam blast. The whole front axle assembly came is the extra one from the Atlantis fiat .Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

It looks amazing the blue paint looks great, and those are some of the best looking crager ss wheels I’ve seen in kit form

I kick myself for not getting a lot of WhoopieKat decals. What ever happened to them they had great subject matter and high quality. Then one day they were just up and gone

It sits just right i really love that flathead I my opinion the rear wheels look even better than stock . The interior looks spot on the light brown looks like what came factory. Perfect choice of shifter and tach . The black on the grill really adds some pop . The only thing that I would do differently would be to add the towing tabs from amt’s 1962 belair super stock kit . As these cars were often flat towed to a local drag strip. You also might have to build a mildly customized 1960 f-100 to tow it. Job well executed my friend.

This one was built from Revell’s 1968 Firebird kit the slotted wheels came from Revell’s 1941 Willy’s gasser. The slicks are from AMT . The paint is the discontinued Testors color Honduras maroon . The decals are the long discontinued Fred Cady sheet. Super Stock magazine had some of the best cover shots and this one’s really unique as you don’t usually see a drag car on the beech . Until next time thanks for looking.👀 Mike

Absolutely!

Today’s progress I built the wood pick up bed and fitted the kits tauna cover to it. Also made the weight tube
