  1. Your Vicky is just beautiful I’m really liking the gold finish and the choice of parts . I built one in the mid 80’s by bashing the Vicky with one of my other favorites the 37 Chevy . I think the AMT 41 Willy’s kit would also make for a good Vicky kit bash project
  2. These simple build takes me back to a time when my uncle gave me a AMT 40 Ford on my seventh birthday it would have been 1977 and if memory serves me correctly the box art showed a green 40 ford . We built it stock out of the box in raw white plastic . With the steel axles it rolled really nice and I played with it for years , and isn’t that what it’s all about when you’re 7 years old . Job well done
  3. It looks great nice sharp paint lines it’s got the right stance
  4. Surprise it’s the Moebius kit again this time built as the Sox&Martin early version with carburetors steel wheels and the big pen star . It’s wearing my usual Sox&Martin paint job of Tamyia white , Italian Red with Testors star spangled blue . It’s topped with Slixx decals of course. unitl next time thanks for looking , Mike
  5. How about it I would buy a few just for those deep dish crager s/s wheels
  6. 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
  7. Yea I’m eastern PA . I sure miss that York show
  8. Beautiful Willy’s nice paint color
  9. I’ve always liked the paint and lettering on this car . You did a fantastic job as always.
  10. Great use of an inexpensive hobby lobby kit . Looks great
  11. Yea me to he and his wife had the best outfits
  12. 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 .
  13. 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 .
  14. 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
  15. It shouldn’t be that expensive as it’s a current Revell kit
  16. It would be really nice to have those boomerang tail lights back
  17. 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.
  18. It looks fantastic that’s one toy I haven’t built
  19. The AMT 49 Ford Gas’s Man kit has a nice set of narrow cheater slicks
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. The moebius kit with Tamyia bright red paint and Slixx decals . A nice straight forward build. Until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  23. 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.
  24. 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
