  1. Well getting close. I need to finish up putting on the wheels and getting the engine done and then I am calling this completed. Bare metal foil is done which is always a joy!
  2. Love the color and great paint. I owned a buffed silver and a copper metallic 1967 Coronet R/Ts. Great cars, kind of sleepers compared to the later muscle cars.
  3. Great job.
  4. Btw this link was about the Porsche 356 1:16 from Revell, the snap kit. sorry.
  5. I loved the video of his build on this and I agree mine doesn't look near as good as far as the plastic goes. I am going to start it next week. I am pretty excited to build it. My daughter bought it last year for me for Christmas.
  6. I polished it with a Meguiars polish and then with a good paste wax. I know the paint looks amazing. I thought about clearing it before I started on it but it really didn"t need it. Anyhow thank you.
  7. That Hemi is beautiful. Love those carbs and all the work you have done.
  8. Well didn't finish this weekend but I should have it wrapped up this week. Thanks everyone
  9. Here are a couple photos of my 65 Coronet that I am replicating my 1:1 car, well kinda. I hope to have it finalized this weekend. It may be a reality since it is supposed to rain most of the day Saturday. As a side note this is the first time I have started to use a Molotov chrome pen. For small items like the steering wheel center and door handles I like it. I am going to be using bare metal foil on most of the trim on the exterior.
  10. Nice work Michelle. I look at that car and really don't remember them very well....
  11. Very nice job as usual.

    68 chevelle SS

    That is a very nice looking kit. Good job
  13. That is true. It is one thing to pay 70+ for a resin kit vs 30.00 for a mainstream plastic kit.
  14. So I am going to be starting the Revell Snap Porsche 356 1:16 scale. Any suggestions on a distributor for the engine? The engine lid opens and it has a pretty simple engine and no distributor or wiring of course. The glue kit which is a convertible comes with a more detailed engine but I really don't want to spend 80.00 to get a better detailed engine bay. This may be a wild goose chase but thought there might be a suggestion or two out there of someone who makes one.
  15. 1970 AAR Cuda. Very fast but horrible brakes especially the rears. They would lock up when you thought about braking!
  16. Love it
  17. My 65 Coronet 500 I owned back in the 90's and it had like 8000 miles on it and I sold it a few years later. The man I sold it to had it back and called me a few summers ago and asked me if I wanted to buy it back. We went back and forth for about six weeks and I finally got the permission (kinda) to pull the trigger. It now has 14,600 on it. It is a nice driving car. Very tight and solid. Some Mopars weren't so much back then! Lol! I love the 65's also.
  18. Well that is kinda cheap! lol!
  19. Looking good.
  20. Thanks guys
  21. If you PM me I think I have the kit. I doubt I will ever build it.
  22. So after finishing a white Polar Lights Coronet I am now working on the second one which is the red car that more closely represents my 1:1 car. The red is pretty close to the Coronet in my garage so other than polishing and waxing I am leaving the paint as it is. I will bare metal foil and I have painted the interior black. I have pretty much left the chassis alone. I am waiting on the paint to dry on the engine as I will make it a 383 4barrel like my car. I am also waiting for a distributor from Morgan Automotive to use also. Thanks
