...........8V-71 coming together,,,,cobbling up a governor housing that Ertl forgot

I'm blown away with this! Absolutely beautiful !

For being over 50 years old the kit is in great shape,,vent window frame was broken on cab,,fixed,,,,the decal sheet doesn't look too good though ,,,,lol . I was tempted to put the Auslowe 12V-71 in it but I might do that to the 4070A Round2 kit instead

Model Roundup said they just hit the West Coast and Round2 should start distribution pretty soon

........top notch!

Coronet is 99% done ,,waiting on redline tires .I was going to do that White Freightliner wheelstand truck but I picked this up on Ebay about a week or so ago and I'm gonna start this instead ,,do it pretty much stock but plumbed/wired ,etc .I also have the Moebius smooth side trailer that I'll do to match , along the lines of this along with IH logo decals

...................chassis work and exhaust done ,under hood details done , just have to find a horn in the bin and stick that on ,,redlines should be here Friday ,,then clean her up and done

............you did a super job on that 'vert ! Next Mope I do is gonna be turquoise

.............and install the exhaust trumpets

..............have to fab up a tube to make the "H" pipe exhaust ,,come up with a driveshaft or make one and make rear shock mounts and shocks and front shocks

..................exhaust going in ,differential and springs,,,,she's getting a Dana 60 because I don't have a decent looking 8-3/4 around ,,the one in the new 68 vert reissue is that horrible hollow molded one

Great job and great color combo! I found a 69 hardtop gluebomb on ebay ,,wip now

Great job! I haven't seen one of those in years,,,,good kit back in the day !

I'll have to make a grille extension for the hood latch ,,,,have to check the parts bins maybe something is laying around

..........engine installed , body mounted...bumpers installed .........the center console top has the 68 on it,,I should have done a wood grain insert for it used in 69 and up

That Loadstar should look good with that 345 gas engine in it!

That looks like a Wheel Coach style grille on that rig .,,,,,,,,,, I retired from VCI Emergency Vehicles (Horton) back last July,,my son works there also,,they just got the FDNY contract back ?

That's gonna be sweet ! ,I have a Fleetstar cab from AITM thats been sitting around for awhile ,, are you going to open up the hood? The casting of my Fleetstar is super thick ,,don't know what I'm going to do ,,the version I have has the tilt nose,,I'll take a pic of it tomorrow

Very nice build!

Nice job!

I still have to chrome the fender turn signal indicators

Installed the grill....found an R/T emblem in the parts dept.,,,,think that was in a Revell Landy Charger kit........the tailite lenses were missing but I still had the surround so I filled the openings with epoxy and shot it Stop Light Red .....installed ........... engine complete ready to drop in the K frame ...I didn't have the proper air cleaner pie pan so I fudged one up with some old Cady decals

Cut out the damaged area and glue in a piece of Evergreen sheet styrene ,you can get their assortment pack,sheets of different thickness and a couple black sheets in the last one I got ,then contour sand to match, you can apply a skim coat of putty and feather it in with the rest of the cowl

yep ,,built it around 1992

My 68 GTX was GG1 Green,green vinyl top and green interior ,,,with green stripes ...my 69 Coronet was painted 1970 Lemon Twist but was an original F8 Green car ,my 72 340 Duster was Chestnut Brown . Green was the "in" color back then .....didn't you have an Avocado toilet/sink /bathtub and tile in your house ??? lol! ?
