  1. Thanks for the comments. Love these old Mopars
  2. Completed another one. Haven't seen too many of these built yet. Have a few more kits to as other super stockers. Paint was Scale Finishes Calypso Coral. White is all decals from kit. Front Cragars are from Beswick Comet Moebius kit.
  3. Got it completed. Pics in Under Glass
  4. Awesome I could a couple more. Hopefully it's the hardtop and not convertible
  5. I'm using the latest release of the AMT Color Me Gine with some parts from the AMT Little Red Wagon
  6. Decals completed. Not perfect but gonna do
  7. Thought I would trydefaling again this afternoon. Going better. Not perfect though
  8. Yes. The 57 Chevy was the Scale Finishes Enamel but I used Tamiya Clear over it the first time and had issues. Then I stripped and airbrushed again but used Scale Finishes Clear the second time and it turned out great. I used their Lacquer on this 69 Camaro and have what looks like etch marks all over it. It didn't lay down like their enamels for me. Like I said not sure if it was me or the weather, could have been to humid.
  9. I will also say that I have found that the metallic enamels need clear on them which i have done with these. The one time I used the Lacquer I was not happy with results. Not sure if it was the weather or me.
  10. I have used the enamels and like them. You can achieve a nice shine with no clear. Of course I haven't dug a fingernail into them to see if they totally hardened or not as I place them in a case when completed. Here are a few that I have airburshed.
  11. Working on interior tub as well. Noticed that the front foot well looked shorted. Grabbed my reference pictures and sure enough, the pedals hanging off the bottom of kit dash were right up against the floor board. Not gonna get much pedal movement that way. Got to looking and seen there was room between interior tub and backside of firewall so, I had an extra interior floor, cut one off in front of the seat mount and the other 1/4" back to length the interior tub. Fits and hopefully will look more accurate. Need to flip door panels from side to side and scribe the door panel design into them (sketched it out on one them)
  12. Altered the rear tubes by cutting from the bottom front to mid way up and pulled them foward.
  13. Always liked the box top even thought Sox and Martin never ran a Fury
  14. Tried one of the side decals last night, wanted to see if the color would bleed thru the white. Color bleed was minimal but had to remove it (good thing I have a few extra kits). It stuck to the body with a few small wrinkles and could not move the decal to smooth them out. Tried everything but it stuck tighter than anything. I'll try again another night, hopefully will go better.
  15. Making some progress.
  16. I too suffer from M.A.D.D. I have I don't know how many projects started but always want to start something else. Looking great
  17. Work has been alittle slow and I'm trying to do alittle more research on the 66 long nose Landy Dart so, I thought I'd see what I could do with the 64 Dodge. Here's a quick mock up. Not to bad.
  18. Awesome. Looks great
  19. Quick mock up of ride height. Working on this one in evenings when time allows. Landy Long Nose Dart is at work for slow times.
  20. Looks good. I did the same thing when I built my 65 Landy Dodge from the Polar Lights Coronet kit. Most of the time super glue has worked for me but for some reason it didnt on this resin body.
  21. Got discouraged with this when I started to modify wheelbase. Cut body to use the altered quarters and tried gluing it in on drivers side but superglue didn't want to hold. Put it back in box then. Decided to pull it out and see what's what with it and determined that I would try some 2 part epoxy I have. Seems to be holding better this time around. Cut the passenger side and got it ready to epoxy it in. Still need to enlarge to wheel openings.
  22. A colored cap is one thing but just a small sticker/label on a black cap?
  23. These new labels on the Testors Model Master Lacquer Paints are something left to desire. I don't know who designed them but, no where on the can label is the name of the color printed on it. The only place the name shows up is on a sticker on top of the cap. Who designed this BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH?
  24. Better shot of interior color. I tried to work on the dash a little to de-trim it and add a radio delete plate. Wheel and tire choice is kit supplied tires with kit supplied steelies for rear and Moebius Cragars from their 65 Comet for the front
  25. I'm at it again. Had some left over Scale Finishes Calypso Coral paint from my 1970 Boss 302 and thought I'd get this ready for paint. Using Tamiya Champagne Gold for the interior. I'm going to try and use the White decals to see how they work. I haven't really seen anybody build this kit yet to see if they have any bleed thru of color. I really should finish up some more models before starting more but, oh well.
