  1. I understand a company makes a resin Malibu..but I yet to see anybody actually build one on this forum at least. So yes..future classic, but no market.
  2. That coronet looks badass. But most of those subject matter don't seem mainstream. Like not the prime time barret jackson type cars. Which is good, but instead of a 61 pontiac, a 61 cadillac coupe would have real cool.
  3. Badass. But I believe the torsion bars were not bare steel. I believe they were painted black with a stripe.
  4. Don't go with the" restored" look. Not that its a bad idea..but no reputable restoration shop would let it leave with those inner fenders...which are completely incorrect.
  5. Only unusual thing might be the color. I hate decals and those wacky early seventies chrysler colors and thats the way 97% of them are built. BTW.. a little assistance I might need. Does anybody keep in touch with anybody from "bandit resin"? Looking for a non "sharktooth" grille. He includes one in the resin scamp model. Hopefully he would sell me a grille.
  6. Thanks Mopar-D. Nothing special. Stock with Chrysler rally wheels and hubcaps. Going to add some chrome to the engine and basicly thats it. Color is going to be that modelmaster "bronze" color. Not sure about interior. Maybe a light brown or beige? Also it will be a hardtop.
  7. You know what would be unique? Adding a benchseat and hubcaps for making a base model
  8. Is that kind of kandy orange topcoat?
  9. I believe the sub-frame was painted black as well. I believe the only thing that wasn't black was the lower control arms.Foil looks good too.
  10. Newest project. Nothing to show. Only found some chrysler rally wheels and had to modify them to fit the smaller tires. Drilled out the holes in the hubcaps as well.
  11. Awesome.Is that a "promo". And if so..how hard are they to dissasemble?
  12. Said this before but.... why remove it? Scuff it a little and prime right over it. Thats what I do and my alclad turns out great. If all those chemicals won't cut through it, no hobby paint will a effect either.

  16. badass. gotta get me one of these
  17. Not a fan of fourdoors but looks like it was built well.
  18. badass. Is that photoetch license plate frame?

    I use 30 gage "wire wrapping wire" for my sparkplug wires. Then metal wire inside that is what I use for those clamps. And thanks for the kind words.

  24. 1972 coronet. I find those fuel mileage numbers highly dubious but thats beside the point. Why do people still insist on clinging to the concept that older is better? I have a '73 plymouth and I love driving it but my 2000 corolla is ten times better , reliability wise. All those carbs and those linkeages and set screws belong in the scrapheap. Depending on the weather, it idles too rough or idles too high. Sometimes its too lean or too rich. My toyota on the other hand always starts, idles at the same speed in all weather, never overheats in stop and go and doesnt sound like a giant shopping cart on a bumpy road. My friends call me crazy but if I ever modify the drivetrain, it will be to install a v6, the kind in those new challengers.
