I really like that!!!!!

That's pretty!!!

Excellent work Chuck. They normally don't get that crusty down here in MD. Just a little rust around the edges.

I like that!!!!

Lovely!!!

Thanks Al. I can depend on you to get a look at how a kit should be built. Beautiful!!!

Yes I started it, and like most of the others here, I like what I have so far. At this point, I have it up on the wheels, and I did the panel adjustments (very minor). There are some feed tabs I want to address on the inside of the bed sides. It's been ultra humid here, so I have not done any paint work on it. I am trying to decide on a two-tone, or a solid color. I built up The 6 cylinder engine, and it is currently residing under the hood. However, I am considering an eight cylinder power booster replacement, as the type of truck I want to build would be an odd ball with the 6. I may work on it tonight. My plan is to build the truck I would have bought in 1969, if I had the funds.

Abra-Cadabra!!!! Another magical model.

I'm going to do one up as a Courier when I get it.

Beautiful!

Sweet!!!!!

Wow!!!!

Very nice work Al.

Sweet!!!!!

Very Nice. I am also working on a '69. I am doing a nicely equipped '69, with all of the chrome on it. I have not decided on the drive train, as while I love that 6-banger, it is not the way I would own one, even it would not be a bad daily driver. A friend of mine had a base '77 Chevy Fleetside with a 6-Cylinder/3 on-the-tree, and it was a decent truck. I am considering a small block/4-speed, which will be much more of a hoot to drive. I can scrap an old Mustang build for the engine, so I do not have to invest any more money, and I have an engine already built and painted. All I have to do is fit it into the chassis. I'm also going to put a Class III hitch on it. Like Chuck's truck, it will be a truck that has come from the factory, with some Ford "Dealer Installed" Accessories. I'll start my own thread when I lay some primer on it.

I bought one of the Promolite '69 Coupe de Villes in resin, and it is every bit as nice as my unbuilt Johan 1969 Coupe de Ville, and it has a convertible boot too. Tom Coolidge (Promolite) does some very nice Resin Kits. One of the '69's will be done as a convertible, and the other will get a Halo Vinyl Roof. My Johan '70 will remain a Coupe de Ville, and will get a Halo vinyl roof too. As a young teenager, I built an annual JoHan 1970, in Black with a Gold Velvet Landau Roof (yes they did those back in the day o real cars) I wish that I could find that old '70, It was not butchered, I would strip it, and re-paint it without that goofy roof. If I get up the nerve, I may do something with that resin '70. I'm afraid to get it out, as I will start working on it. One of these days.

Very nice!!!!

Here's mine: 1958 Chevy. All American Resin built over a decade ago. 1965 Chevelle Phantom. Modification of an AMT '65 Malibu Wagon built about 15 Years ago. I have several that are unbuilt down in the collection.

Take a look at the pages of the brochures from the Old Car Manual Project 1966 http://www.oldcarbrochures.org/NA/Dodge/1966_Dodge/1966-Dodge-Charger/1966-Dodge-Charger-09 1967 http://www.oldcarbrochures.org/NA/Dodge/1967_Dodge/1967-Dodge-Charger-Brochure/1967-Dodge-Charger-08 This will show the differences. The 1966 car also had a full length center console, and the 1967 car had a mini colsole for the rear seat passengers. The 1966-67 Chargers were 4 passenger cars, with fold down rear seats.

I love it!!!!

I bought a couple of them last week, but have yet to work with them. From the looks of the ones I have, they look as good as the old decals .

I do not need to cut up a Del-Rio for a Ranchero. I did my own. My friend Richard Wilson raised the roof on a Revell old tool '57 Ranchero.

If I were RC2, and I am not, I would backdate the '67 Charger to a '66. I know the wheelcovers and the seats are somewhere out there. I built the MPC '67 back in the day, and I have an unbuilt MPC and a Revell. I built this one when the Revell kit first came out. . My unbuilt MPC will probably be back-dated, as I have a set of Resin '66 seats, and a set of wheelcovers to do it.

Fantastic!!!!!

I sold new trucks for over 30 years. In the '70's and 80's and even into the 90's, the rear step bumper was not standard equipment, and most of the trucks we stocked at our dealership got an aftermarket bumper, unless it was the top of the line, loaded, truck. We did the same thing with trailer hitches. The factory pieces were nice, but a lot of aftermarket items were just as good, if not better, and cost a whole lot less. When I was selling fleets, unless the buyer requested the factory piece, they always got a good quality aftermarket piece. We kept the Class III trailer hitches, argent painted and chromed rear step bumpers in stock, as some customers liked having the choice. Personally, I liked the look of the factory rear bumper than the aftermarket bumper. At the present time, I am rebuilding a MPC '78 Chevy Pickup, and the rear step bumper included was an aftermarket piece. The '69 Ford project has stopped me from working on the Chevy, plus we are dealing with 95 degree heat. I want to put some primer on the Ford, once I make a few detail changes, which I will discuss in another thread.
