You are doing an exceptional job on that kit.

That is what separates the Masters from the Wannabes.

OW!

I have the pace car decals, and I took several pictures of a nice pace car at Carlisle Several Years ago. However, I am considering Red with a Red Bucket seat interior and a White up top. I have to make a set of skirts for it, as the previous owner cut them off neatly. I believe that I can either make the "Sport Fury" script for the fenders and the trunk lid or get someone to craft them if I cannot do it. The bench seat interior will probably end up in the Resin 66 Hardtop I have, like the one Steve Milbury just did a beautiful job on.. Unfortunately, my images are in Photobucket, and I am not able to pay their fee for now.

The Air Trax 73 looks to be a corrected 71. The roof looks great. On my All American 71, the roof is overly flat, and the rear fenders are too high. I corrected the rear fenders, and I want to redo the roof panel. I am thinking of grafting in the front roof section of a JoHan Eldorado Rancher with a sunroof, as I think it would be cool. When Fox aired the show "Second Chance" a couple of seasons ago, it piqued my interest in the car. Other than the red line tires, I think the car looked great. I want my model to look similar to this:

That looks great. My uncle in California had a Red 65 Sports Fury with a 426 wedge and a 4 speed. I only wish that JoHan had kitted the 64-68 Plymouths as Sport Furys instead of Fury/Fury III with an inaccurate bucket seat interior. I was able to find an old promo interior with a bench seat for my 65 Convertible project, However, the Sport Fury Convertible interior is gorgeous, needing some window crank and armrest detail to make it pop.

John, That one brings back memories of my Dad's first new car. A Sierra Gold '58 Impala. He had alternated between the 4-bar Lancers, and 60 Buick Wheel Covers on his car, with a set of Foxcraft Skirts. That car was so cool, and I intend to do my next '58 Chevy (either Revell or AMT) as his car, but with updated paint in the same color family, and the 4-bars, and a beige interior with white roll and pleat inserts and copper carpets. As if he still owned the car, and restored it in the 2000's.

Great work on the 67. I remember MD having 2 door 67's with the Olive Drab /Black paint scheme, with Red Rally Wheels That was one odd duck, but it was cool.. I have one of the MCW '66 Biscayne 2 door Sedans for a 1966 MD State Police Project. It is based from an old AMT tool that I bought well before the superior Revell kit came out. I may keep it, and use it as a pattern, as the roof is a little funky. I can correct it, as I did my 65 post sedan. I do not feel like chopping up a pristine 66 Impala SS kit. Keep up the great work!

I combined an original issue '66 Cyclone with a new tool Fairlane GT, as I bought several of them, and the Cyclone I had was a builder. t worked out pretty good, It's not finished yet, but it looks good so far. I have no need to buy the latest iteration of this kit, even though the box art is gorgeous. I have a couple of "builder " old tool '66 Fairlanes and several kits for such a project. At my building rate, it may get done in a couple of years, as I have several projects in the pipeline.

The model in question is a high quality build, and probably worth the money to the person who purchased it. I cannot afford it, so I will build my own.

Can I get that 67 Fairlane grille from you?

I got an unbuilt '64 Plymouth Belvedere "Lawman" Kit, and a lightly glue-bombed '77 Dodge Monaco Coupe "Force 440".

Ron and Dominik, I love your builds of this kit. I just bought a "Force 440" Dodge Monaco today from one of my favorite guys I but models from. It was a little glue-bombed, but unpainted, and 99% of the Police goodies are in it. It came apart easily, and aside from filling the holes for the roof light bar, and side whip antenna, it cleaned up well. I have to get a hood and some glass, but that is not a problem. I have 3 of the 4-doors, T.J Hooker Car, A Joker/Goon Car, and a Dukes of Hazard Car, and a extra partial 4 door I bought The county where I live (Prince George's County, MD) used these cars for patrol vehicles, and I intend to build one of them as such, as well as Hunter's Green Sedan, as well as a either a CHP or Los Angeles Police Cruiser. This kit as been a grail of mine for years, and I plan to build it as a civilian car, as it is bizarrely equipped to be a Police Cruiser as kitted. A friend of mine was going to purchase a one to one in 1978 in black, with a gold landau roof, and gold interior. I happen to like that combo, or else I can do it as an undercover car. I may do it up like I did my '73 Road Runner, using the detailed chassis and running gear from the excellent AMT '71 Dodge Charger R/T. I am doing my research on how the car is going to be detailed for my build.

Right now it is a total mess. I started to rework it, but ran into a brick wall. Buying the Air Trax 73 is a great help in my quest, as it is quite well done, and is based on that 71. Personally, I like the 71 better, as it is the original design of the car. I know what I want to do to it, and I am gathering parts for it.

Yes it is a 73, but it is very nice! I have an original All American Resin 71, and the Air Trax 73 is head and shoulders above it.

I think one of the best engine set ups is the 440 out of the AMT '71 Charger R/T. It has power steering and a/c, as well as the hoses. For a mid to late 60's application, the air cleaner needs to be swapped out for a Jo Han Chrysler Air Cleaner. I have an Air Trax Resin 69 Chrysler 300 Hardtop in the queue, and that is what I am going to put into that particular build when I get to it. I have it planned out. Yes, I like Chryslers, Plymouths and Dodges of the '60's. I have a bunch to build before I can't anymore.

The Lindberg 426 Engine will work on this application. If you can get a Johan 66-68 Chrysler 300 Air Cleaner, and remove the lettering on the top of the pan, chrome the valve covers and the air cleaner, and paint the engine block, heads, intake and water pump turquoise, you are golden. that is what I am going to install in my '65 Sport Fury convertible.

Fortunately for me, I was able to buy all of the JoHan kits I ever wanted. One promo has eluded me, and that is the 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe.

Looks good to me!

The accurate caps for the 67 Police Spec are rally wheels without trim rings or centers from the AMT 70 Corvette LT1, and most MOC 70's corvettes, with a set of Parts by parks baby moons, with a set of photoetch bow ties in a circular emblem from one of the MCG '65 Chevrolet sets.

I have built both kits, as well as the 1/24 Monogram. and each of them has its advantages. The roof is just too round and the side rear window is also too rounded and a little short. However, the average modeler does not want to do wholesale modifications on the side sculpture on the AMT kit. I am currently doing a Red Alert car, using the 70 AMT kit, and I am doing a lot of work to the body to make it as accurate as possible. It is stalled for now, as I want to build a more accurate engine. I built the Revell in a couple of hours as a slump buster, and really enjoyed it other than the peel and stick decals. I only wish it was a full detail kit with an engine. I would fix the roof in a minute on that one. I may just disassemble the one I have, open it up, and fix the roof. I have engines and chassis that would work.

I like what you are doing. Are you going to do the privacy rear window and vinyl roof on the limo? I like what I see in all of the builds.

Looks good to me. That is what I want to do with mine.

I just saw my un-built one on the basement. It seems to be a very nice kit. I want to build it, but I am undecided on the color combination. I am looking forward to seeing your build.

you can't go wrong with Missing Link resin parts.
