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.

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.

Great work Tim!!!!

No complaints here. Fast service, good pricing. If he has what you want, get it!!

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.

Fantastic work J.C.!

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.

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.

I'm glad I kept my original JoHan '69 GTX Kit. The plastic is so brittle, but the detail is fantastic!!!!

I'm in!

I love those!

That '66 is a rare bird!

Please finish this one!!!!!!!!

You did a fine job on that one Snake. I love the way it came out. The '67 Corvette is one of my favorite cars in one to one and in model form. I have un-built kits in my stash of the MPC, AMT, and the Revell kits, and I have built them over the years, so I have my preferences. As a matter of fact, next to the '69 Camaro, I probably have built, or collected more '63 through '67 Corvettes than any other car. Like Snake, I have a gaggle of rebuilders waiting to be done, including one forlorn glue-bomb original '63 Roadster with the rotating headlights. I am considering converting it to a '64, since the original builder used more glue than he should have, and attached many custom parts from the original kit on it. It's about 80% cleaned up, but I have to replace the windshield frame, and clean up the rocker panels. I have a set of '64 Wheel covers, and a '64 Hood for the project. The '64 is rare, so I think it will be a worthwhile project. I also have a '64 Coupe to go with it, if I can get the balance of the paint off of it, and fix the cracks in the body. Depending on how the cleanup goes, It may end up as a mild custom, road racer, or a gasser if I cannot get the body back into "Replica Stock building shape.

I love it. I cannot wait to get my hands on one. I hope to see a one-to one for the subtle differences between the 2016 and the "FIFTY" version.

You do not want to buy that stuff. You are better off mastering your own.

This stuff is not too good from what I see, and I know what I am writing about. Jeff, you have N-O-T-H-I-N-G to worry about. I took a look at each of his offerings on EBAY, and I would have to be in a drunken stupor to partake of any of his offerings, and I do not drink!

If it were me, I would use an AMT latest tool '67 Chevy SS427 for the chassis, under hood area, interior floor, and basic interior pieces to start, along with the drivetrain, wheels, and steering wheel from the AMT latest tool '66 Riviera GS. Of course a lot of research, and a little skill, plastic sheet and rods, and putty to get it pretty much together. I want to do a '66 Wildcat GS Convertible in the near future. Of course I have a lot of projects ahead of this one, but I have '65 Wildcat ready for primer and paint, so it may get moved ahead to later this year if I can get some paint on it.

In honor of this post, I just ordered a '67 Galaxie from Jeff. I saw the guy's post on Ebay today, and his marketing skills leave a lot to be desired. He trashed the original body, pointing out several flaws in his copy that were not to his satisfaction, stating that he "corrected" them. I have been building resin kits for a couple of decades, and I have found that most resin kits need a little more preparation to be built than most styrene kits. I bought my kit from Jeff with confidence, as I have never received an inferior product from Motor City, As a matter of fact, I have a couple of resin based kit projects on tap for this year. A certain '67 Galaxie may be one of them. If I were you, I would not lose one iota of sleep over this matter, The superior product will always prevail.

Basically, the whole interior would have to be scratchbuilt. I would cut up the tub to remove the side panels to "re-upholster" it, and start with at least half of a Chevy dash to get a linear speedometer. A set of proper strato bucket seats should not be too difficult to find, but everything but the floor would have to be re-done.

Richard Wilson was casting the hood.

I plan to do one someday.

Paint finish is very important, and in a contest setting, a poorly applied finish will disqualify a model right away. I look at whether or not the build will work as a car if it were a one to one. Some modelers will put every aftermarket piece of wiring and photoetch on a build, which is not at all necessary. Working features is nice to, as long as they work as intended. Of course in my world, if the model has noticeable glue smears, mis-applied parts, or sitting on 3 wheels is instant disqualification in my eyes..

Just wear heavy duty rubber gloves, as Super Clean will also dissolve the skin on your hands.

I wish that the '63 and '64's had up tops like the '62.
