Funny thing about that story. When AMT first brought out the '69 GTX, Hardtop, it was a Pro Street Car, and the Convertible was a Replica Stock. I had just built a Triple-Black '69 Barracuda. I had the Recall Mags from that kit available to me, so I decided to do my own Replica Stock GTX, so I combined the two GTX kits, and came up with a Black '69 GTX Hardtop with the Recall Wheels on Red Lines, which did come out very nice. A few years later. I was able to acquire an unbuilt JoHan '69 GTX Hardtop, which by the way, has a much better body, and grille with the correctly bucketed headlamps, a built-up JoHan '69 Road Runner that has seen better days, but can be restored, which I plan to do as an A12 car, where I combine it with a resin 6 pack Hood and steelies I have in my parts box, along with the AMT chassis and 440+6 engine from the '69 GTX kit. When I was young, ,there were a few B5 Blue '69 Plymouth mid-size cars I was familiar with, and I really like that color, along with Bronze, Dark Green, and Turquoise. When it came to Dodges, Green was very popular on the Coronets and Chargers. I cannot wait to see what you do to a '69 Road Runner Steve.

Who could ask for anything more? Beautiful!!!

The build is beautiful. One thing though, the R/T emblems should be on the body center line, the same as on the Charger. Personally, I would leave it alone, as a Coronet R/T with the stripe delete is a very rare car. That one is definitely a sleeper.

Very Nice work!!!!

WoooooHoooo! How About a '66 SUBURBAN !?!?!!!
Ron Hamilton replied to Danno's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Can we say "Panel Delivery"??? If the kit has panel doors like this photo, Mine will be built as a panel delivery, more than likely. With my luck, the Panel Delivery will be the next kit out, a month after I do mine. -

Fantastic work Yuri!!!! -
Revell 1966-'77 Ford Bronco
Ron Hamilton replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I believe they are 15" wheels and tires. I looked at the 1971 brochure, and it said the Bronco Custom Package had 15" wheels and wheel Covers. -
1968 Shelby Green Hornet-----Update! 8/4/18
Ron Hamilton replied to MrObsessive's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I'm still waiting for power windows on one of your builds. I'll have give you a pass on this one, as the one-to-one did not have power windows. Excellent work as always Bill. -
I really like Comets, as I have several in my collection. This '66 is under construction, which will be a combination of an original annual kit body and interior, with the chassis and running gear from the latest issue of the AMT '66 Fairlane GT. I have not decided the color of the interior, or else it would be finished, which will be either Black, or Beige. I also have 2 original '67 Comet annuals to be re-built, as I prefer the old annual bodies from the latest tool bodies. I really like that white Caliente.

That is how that car should look. Fantastic!!!!!

Hocus Pocus!!!!

Missing link 1961 Pontiac Catalina
Ron Hamilton replied to kevin l's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I saw one of these in person at our club meeting a couple of months ago, and I can say that it is fantastic!!!!! -
WOW!!!!!

I agree with you. As long as you like it, it makes no difference what color it is.

1969 Dodge Coronet R/T, 10/17, So Close I Can Taste It!!
Ron Hamilton replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
As good as that one looks, I figure one of the kit manufacturers would have to bring one of those out. I know Revell has the Super Bee tool available, but it does not feel right to me, and it lacks the steelies and red-lines that was part of the '69 "Six Pack" package. The Road Wheels and Radials are not doing it for me. I love that one Steve!!!! -
1950 Oldsmobile may be what you expect........
Ron Hamilton replied to thatz4u's topic in Model Cars
Interesting!!! Looks like it came out of the "Fast and Loud" garage. I like it!!! -
I really like that one. I have built three off of that kit, as well as a '61 Pace Car. which yours reminds me of, and a couple of '63's. I love the bullet birds, and that one is striking.

Very nice work. The hood stripes do look a little splayed towards the outside edges, as they should be evenly spaced down the middle. I did not use the kit decals on my '79 Camaro, as I did mine as an SS350, and not a Z28, so I cannot speak about how the stripes will go on it. That is one handsome car.
-
Certainly. I have several Camaros to build one of these days. I had several of them for my Company Car, as well as owning a couple of them. I have one of my personal cars built, the '91 RS Convertible, and one under construction, the '78 Sports Coupe with T-Tops. Speaking of the '74, I built one back in the day, and I have an unbuilt MPC to be built as Joe Mannix' last ride on the show. I have to turn the '78 Z28 into a Sport Coupe, by getting a non scooped hood, and filling the fender louvers. Just about everything else is done. I like the yellow theme you are going with. When I did my '70 Baldwin Motion Camaro, I painted it Daytona Yellow, with the Black Stripes. I think I am going to display my Yellow Camaros together, like you are doing, as I like Yellow Camaros too.

Wow! That looks kind of familiar. Very nice.
-
Handsome!!!!! I love it, and only hope that mine comes out half as good.

Handsome!!!! That is why I like Imperials of that era!
