Painting has been started. Started with the Hemi Orange first.

Got a couple of 71 Chargers started. Need to get some good weather to do some priming. First one will be Triple Green with Sherwood Green paint , green vinyl top, green interior. Need to come up with some green for the vinyl top and interior yet. Got the Sherwwod Green from Scale Finishes. The second one I was planning on Hemi Orange with a White vinyl top and white interior but, am wondered with bleed through of the orange plastic. Worried about bleed through with the Orange plastic though. Why mold a model in Orange or Red? Was surprised to the Orange plastic is actually a metallic (Dirty Donny kit). Used .040" half round plastic to replicate the vinyl top trim on both.

Thank you Dave. Iook forward to buying many more of these kits and anything else Moebius brings out.

This is what I was planning for the intake setup for the engine but, it didn't fit under the hood. So I found a chromed intake and air cleaner in the AMT 55 Bel Air so, I decided to use them instead. Here is the carpeting using Embossing Powder colored Sapphire from Michaels.

Looking like a cool idea. Have a similar project going.

Getting the engine together for this thanks to Replicas in miniature of md. Will post picture tomorrow when I get more completed. Redid the carpet using embossing powder instead of flocking, looks much better. Need to get this completed next.

I just pulled my unbuilt Johan Sox 71 Cuda and it doesn't have the fender gills. So that would need to be added for a replica stock somehow. Then the billboards will become an issue as they are sized for the Revell 1/24 Cuda.

Thats what I was thinking as I want to build a stock 440 six pack car. I knew the Revell 71 was from the 80's or early 90's and was 1/24 scale but I just couldn't get over the differences in them. I have build a few Revell 71's but after building the new 70 the old 71 looks outta place.

Making some progress on this as well.Got the interior completed. Just realized the shifter is noplaced yet. It is now.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen or have come out with a 71 conversation for the Revell 70 Cuda? I just bought another Revell 71 Cuda and was looking at the differences in scale and shape of the bodies and wow. I know the 71 Cuda is an older tooling.

Getting closer to completing model. Has been a great kit. Only issues have been window fitting prior to paint, vent windows - not much glue surface, grille mounting points on core support needing trimmed so grille set back in body correctly.

Making some slow progress on this. Got the interior trimmed out and started getting it together. Got the engine in chassis.

Looks awesome. These Moebius kits are great no matter how they are built.

No it's not built yet. Too many irons in the fire. It has nothing to do with the quality though.

Jimmy Flintstone makes a resin on. Here is a topic I started but sadly have gotten off of for various reasons.

This is a model of a car ordered by Jack Ashley and driven by Ronnie Sox in 1961. As far as I can find out, this car was ordered and taken over to Ray Nichels to prep for racing. It went up for auction back in November 2013 and sold for $182,500. I took the Moebius body and worked on the window channels to get the windows to fit better after reading what Mr. Obessive had wrote up for tips on this kit. Filled a couple of low spots in the quarters around the trim and prepped body for primer and paint. I used Tamiya White Primer and ordered Pontiac Richelieu Blue from Scale Finishes, same paint code as Chevrolet Silver Blue Met. Srayed the body and cleared with Testors Ultra Gloss Clear. I used Testors Silver Blue Met and Nassau Blue Met from there Lacquer line of paints for the interior after I sprayed to white seat inserts with Tamiya White primer. I will go back and cover all the interior with Tamiya Semi-Gloss clear. I need to come up with some reference pictures of the engine yet. I appears that the car had dual carbs and not the triple carb set-up on it but need to see if I can clarify that.

Nice. Beautifully done.

Got the paint polished out some, baremetal completed and trying to move on but very limited time. Thanks for the interest and comments guys.

All in due time for a group picture.

I found a set of Keystone Mags out of a 67 Sox & Martin Gtx nit but, they were to large of a diameter for the slicks out of the Melrose Missile. Dug some more and found a set of Keystones out of the old 51 Chevy Bel Air kit that will work just fine I believe. Need to find approriate tires for the front now.

I agree. Great man and great to talk with. The same with wife Diane, great to talk with as well.

I just seen where Round 2 is bringing out another Dodge A-100 wheelstander called Dodge Fever. Says availible now but never seen anything about it before. I know it will just be the old Little Red Wagon kit, which is a great, with new decals. Has anyone seen it yet on the shelves? http://round2corp.com/product/125-dodge-fever-wheel-stander/ Also they are bringing the Color Me Gone 64 Dodge back. No info on release of this kit. http://round2corp.com/product/color-me-gone-1964-dodge-300-superstock/ With the release (finally) of the 64 Lawman Plymouth and these other Dodges, It's a great time for us Dodge drag racing fans.

Yes the car had Blue interior. Not sure about buckets or bench.

Looks great.
