...........try Bedlam Creations ,he did decals for my Autocar wrecker and Teachers Pet Plymouth ,,he will need exact size /font/colors and pictures >> Bedlam Creations - Creators of custom waterslide decals for guitars, miniatures, models, and more!

...............the GTX would have had either the standard 2 speed wiper or 3 speed ,,the horn would be your black one (but I'm pretty sure they were dual horns) lol

................what we are saying is the instructions are incorrect

............and there were 2 different wiper motors,the standard 2 speed and the 3 speed which was standard with Air Grabber cars in order to clear the air cleaner the black one is the 2 speed ,the cad plated is the 3 speed

............they had both styles of horns in that kit,,the standard one (your black one) and the one that the instruction sheet calls out for the wiper motor,when in fact it should be painted light purple and installed as the "Voice of the Road Runner" (was the actual decal on the horn) ,,,the 68 hood side facing scoops were non functional with the engine call outs inserted,,the 69 car had (with the Air Grabber option) had functional intakes which faced up and were either black or orange-red

..........pro stock scoop on.........body primed,did a test shot of the paint fade,,every picture of this version of the car shows different shades,,,,so ,,I rolled the dice on this,,,Tamiya light gray primer-Tamiya gloss black ,then I shot the fade with Floquil model railroad paint then cleared with automotive polyurethane ...........no adverse reaction .....so far ............ I used Erie Lackawanna Yellow,,Union Pacific Yellow and Caboose Red Floquil,,I have a lot of this left from my HO train days in the 80's ,,the paint is still good!

.............and they still have the 68 hood in there too,,,,I think the pro street version has the 69 hood though

I filled it in with Evergreen sheet then re-cut the hole to match the scoop , I got the roof sanded down ,filled in the cowl and side markers and cleaned off the firewall. I have to build up a Clutch-flite next . I got a Johan Pro Street 'cuda on Ebay for a good price ,when I get it I'll use the interior tub like you said ,,,will have to modify the tunnel to clear the length of the Clutch-flite .

..........I decided to go with the Missile's 2nd scoop variation (they used quite a few) I had a resin one that is pretty darn close .

Welcome Joe!

Nice builds Walter!!

...............and I guess I'll have to cobble up a Clutch-flite

...............while I'm waiting for paint for the trailer I started on the Missile ,,, I think I might go with the Six Pack scoop ,,which is what the car started out with ,,either way I have to fill in where the Shaker was

.........I got sidetracked from this with the Transtar and 53ft trailer build ,,it is next in queue

Nice work!

.................got it squared up ,, have to clean up some boogers and maybe shoot the primer tomorrow ....I don't have enough Chrysler Engine Red and Antique Silver left so I had to order more from MCW ,,should have it in a week or so

Thanks Gary ,,I appreciate that ! The trailer is in progress I started another thread for that ,,same paint scheme with IH logos

Outstanding!

..............starting the trailer to team up with the Transtar II ...........MAJOR warpage ! ...........I need a bigger table and more MCW paint !

For being a kit from 1975 this was a really nice ,enjoyable build and brought back a lot of memories
