  1. Randy looks great. I am painting and building my engine now.
  2. Carl are you talking the hardtop reissue or the convertible?
  3. I have five grandsons and I had three of them with me Saturday. I told them that one of them needs to pick up my love of building model cars. Art I really appreciate your input on having him pick out the model. He loves everything from Mopar muscle cars to Ferrari's and I want him to do most of the building with my assistance. His father has never built any type of model as far as I know so I need to be the guiding hand.
  4. Randy are you doing a chrome front bumper or painted?
  5. Thanks everyone. Here is a picture of my original car in about 2008.
  6. One more Thanks
  7. Here are a few more pictures
  8. Thanks everyone and I will continue to take your suggestions.
  9. Pretty much anything cars. I am building the new Revell Hemi Cuda and he is helping with that.
  10. Nice and I started mine today
  11. My grandson is 11 and he has built a few snap kits from Revell and he wants an easier starter glue kit. We have worked on a few kits together and I think he is ready. What would you suggest?
  12. I will post a few more pictures with my camera now that I have it figured out. Thanks
  13. Sorry about the lousy pictures from my phone. I have a new camera and took pictures with it but they were too large to download. Thanks
  14. I started this car a few years ago when I had my 1968 Charger 1:1 car and wanted to replicate it. I have since sold the Charger (sad) it was an 38000 mile survivor, but finishing up the model this week. I need to do some correcting on the chassis / body fit and attach the rear bumper but overall I am about finished. This is an orginal 1968 Charger MPC kit. If you have built one you know they are not entirely accurate. The roof panel has the incorrect emblem behind the Charger signature that is not on the 1:1 car and the interior has an incorrect console. The stripes and side markers are from Keith Mark's decals. I used the orignal white paint from MCW Paints for a 1968 Dodge and tried to replicate a closer finish to my 68 Charger so I did not use clear coat. It polishes out very well. Thanks for looking
  15. I used the MPC Dart kit to build a Dodge Dart Hang Ten about three years ago. I used Keith Mark's decals. It came out pretty well
  16. Got a call from my LHS this am they have a Cuda in. I am picking it up today.
  17. Great Job.
  18. Me too on the vendors from EBAY. I don't think mine is shipped yet and I thought it would be by Saturday.
  19. When I get mine I plan to start it right away. I am finishing an original 68 MPC Charger this week. I have everything ready but I don't have the kit and my local hobby shop doesn't have them. I bought one off EBAY and I assume I should get it within this week.
  20. great build
  21. I believe the strope stripe in green is V4J. I think Peter Sessler's Red Book on Mopar Muscle cars is pretty accurate. I am Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealer and I wonder what it would be like to try to release a spec book in say 10 years with all of the changes that Chrysler makes on a regular basis today esp Challengers. Though I think it would be easier today with the internet and the wealth of information out there. I have to say I have learned quite a bit about Cuda's in the past week! From what all of you have shared and doing digging on my own on the internet. Thanks everyone.
  22. This is a better link I believee http://www.richardandkarencarpenter.com/index.html
