  1. Interesting!!!
  2. Thanks for the review. I built the 2016 version of this kit, and was satisfied with it, I see the same mould lines on the body that you show in your review, so I am not surprised that they are still there. The color of the body is no problem to me, as I am going to paint it anyway. I will probably strip the wheels too. I have to do my research on this car. I hope that there is one at a dealership near my club meeting place when I go out tomorrow. I'll probably pick one up.
  3. Plum Crazy was my favorite color for this car when it was new. Very nice build!!!
  4. Very nice!!!!
  5. I like that one too. Hawk would have been jealous.
  6. Very nice!!!!
  7. very nice!!!!!!
  8. The AMT '71 Charger R/T will give you a great Wedge engine with al of the accessories. To make it correct looking for the '59 Imperial engine, a JoHan '62-3 Plymouth will give you the right Air Cleaner.
  9. My Dad had a '68 Country Sedan as the "Utility" car when I was in high school. I drove it occasionally. It was Black, wit the Red interior with the dual facing rear seats.
  10. I am considering making one up of my own.
  11. If you can, attend a model car club meeting near your home and join. You will be hooked.
  12. I am so jealous Rex. The Mach1 is a grail of mine.
  13. I used only the body, glass, chrome, and wheels when I "upgraded a '74 Road Runner using parts from the latest tool '71 Charger. I cut the underhood structure from the '71 Charger, and mated it to the Road Runner after I removed the underhood area from the Road Runner. I also used the basic '71 Charger Interior, modifying it to Road Runner specs using the research materials I had. I retained the seats, console, steering wheel, and installed the rear seat inserts from the Road Runner, as well as reshaping the side panels. I plan to o the same thing to my '74 Charger Restoration project. I have pulled it apart, and it has to go into the stripper. I have to decide which version to do. Base Charger, or Rallye
  14. I have an un-built '73 in my basement, which I am going to use as a guide to clean up my "Super Charger". I am glad that Steve showed how the body should look with the stock wheel openings. I believe that I have a set of Fred Cady '73-4 Charger Rallye Decals, and a set of Rallye Wheels in my stash. If so, that is the direction I am going to go in. And before it is asked, no the '73 is not for sale. I have plans for it.
  15. I like what you are doing with your build. It is unfortunate about the pillar. I recently picked one of those kits up myself. Eventually, I would like to build and display the SL and the SLS side by side, as if the same person owned both cars.
  16. No complaints here. Fast service, good pricing. If he has what you want, get it!!
  17. That is very nice. AMC should have done the car in one-to-one. I have a '67 Ambassador promo with a missing w/s frame in green, which I am going to scratchbuld the frame, polish the paint, and foil the car.
  18. Fantastic work J.C.!
  19. I have a '66 Coupe somewhere in my basement that I started to fix. The rear fenders were hogged out, but otherwise it was fine. I made an attempt to fix it, but I put it back in the box, and it is in the inner depth of never-never land. I'll find it one day. I am going to do a complete inventory of my kits in the next few weeks, as I sold a lot off on Ebay over the past couple of years, and frankly, there are some kits and resin that I forgot that I have. I have been buying only new releases or resin kits in the past year. My plan is to clean out and reorganize the basement, as I normally put like kits in the same place. Once that is done, I'll know exactly what I have, and I can then decide what to keep, what is needed, and what to trade or sell. When I get back into my '60's Corvettes, I plan to build them as the kit intended: AMT: Wire Axles Revell: Better Details MPC: Working Features I plan on nice paint jobs, bare-metal foiling, and paint detailing only, unless I have a Photoetch set for it, then I'll use it. Most wll be replica Stock, but a road racer and a gasser may make it into the mix. I have a '63 AMT Coupe that has the wheel wells hogged out, and I am not going to fix it, as the job was done pretty good.
  20. That is some nice detail work. If Round 2 were to reissue the kit in full military livery, they would sell like hotcakes. I love the look of these trucks.
  21. I'm glad I kept my original JoHan '69 GTX Kit. The plastic is so brittle, but the detail is fantastic!!!!
