  1. You are going to make me work over this thing. Yours is looking great!!!!!!
  2. I really like where this one is going.
  3. I love the way your models come out. I have one more 65 in my stash, which is a hardtop, which is in the same shape as the one you have. I have another '65 hardtop built, which I did not photograph. I may go down in the display and get it out to photograph. The one I am going to build may get a different tratment. It is not above me to swap out a roof for a different version of the car. I'm leaning towards one like this one even though I like this one better. Maybe it's the color, as I am partial to black. It looks so elegant, and turning it into a New Yorker would be a stretch, as it would take a lot of time to change the Grille, Tail Panel, and side trim. I saw a one-to-one just like this one at Carlisle, and wish I had the money to buy it. I have a roof section that will work, and my "unbuilt" 300 has "roof rash" like the one you have, so the build may happen. I did a roof swap on this one... so it's not too hard of a job. Just a matter of working out the details. Even though dog dish caps were not an option on the '65 300 series Chrysler, I believe that The Modelhaus has the dog dishes you are looking for. If memory serves me correctly, the ones for the '62 Chrysler would be the same. The ones I used on the '65 Polara were used extensively on Police and Taxi versions in the real world, and yes, they also came from the Modelhaus. No matter how you cut it, I know yours will be a knockout.
  4. As far as I know, no one has done a transkit to do a '67 Impala Convertible. I attempted to do one at one time, and may do it again, once I figure out the fender and trunk contours, which are different from the hardtop. Most I have seen made the trunk lid look like an aircraft carrier.
  5. Impressive work Tulio!!!!
  6. Oh Yesssss!!!!!!!
  7. Steve, I love those "Engel" Chryslers. At least you did not start with something like this... It was as bad as it seems. At least the body was not painted. It took a lot of work, and some scratch building of some interior components, and this is how it ended up. I painted it with some Testor's spray Lacquer, and yes it has some huge flake in it, but I like it, and that is why I went with custom wheels. Alas, I am going to have to re-build it, as it has developed a crack in the side, which may have happened in the earthquake we had a couple of years ago. When I fix the crack, I am going to paint it in a much more subdued color, and slip on a set of stock wheel covers.
  8. That is impressive Steve!!!!!
  9. Very nice work!!!!!
  10. I love those!!!!
  11. Very nice!!!!!
  12. I had one of these when they were new. It was a real hoot to drive, with the V6 Engine burble, and the top down. It was not the best car I owned, but for what it was, I have no complaints. I replaced it with one of these Which was a much better car, but I missed the open air, so I replaced it with one of these. My wife hated convertibles, but I loved it. I even built a model of it while I had it.
  13. Dave, On behalf of myself, thank you for the work you do at Moebius. The models your company produces are some of the best I've seen for the money. I am very happy with the product. I can't wait for the Ford F100's, the '61 Pontiacs, '65 Plymoth Satellite, and the '65 Comet Cyclone.
  14. That's it!! That is how I am going to do my '65 restoration when I build it. That is one beautiful car.
  15. Thank you Greg for sharing these memories with us. I have enjoyed this thread very much. While I cannot afford the combo kits at today's prices, I can build a few of them with the kits I have. I would love to get some of the boxes, just for the art work, but they too are very expensive.
  16. Very nice!!!!!
  17. Stunning builds with excellent attention to detail!!!
