So are you producing decals again? I know I order and recieved a resin body from you and loved it and would love to see the decals again that you offered before but, the website link at the bottom of your post says you have shut down.

Awesome. Much anticipated kit for me. Didn't know it was to be out just yet. I just ordered mine. Can't wait for it to hit my workbench,

What would be the best source for a donor chassis with more detail for Amt's 63 Corvette kit? Rebellious 65-67 Corvette? Revell 62 corvette? Amt 62 corvette? I'm looking for something that is not a molded lump and has more detail? Will also like a more detailed 327 fuelie for it. Any ideas?

Decals are disappointing I guess it's good I still have my Fred Cady sheet.

Thanks guys. Yes I know about the primer and overspray on the underside of the car but, the reference picture of said car I was using and frankly a whole lot of restored cars have the complete underside painted body color. It seems with Mopars there wasn't no exact way of doing things which is what I like about them, diffferent plants, different ways of doing a car on the assembly lines from what I have found and read. I have done the primer and factory overspray on numerous models but, I like this look on certain cars. I've been debating whether to blacken out the wheelwells or not. Don't know yet.

Made some progress on the Lemon Twist Cuda. Got the interior pretty much completed. The chassis has been painted, assembled and ready to go. Interior was painted black then cleared with Tamiya Semi-Gloss Clear. Carpet painted flat black for contrast, couldn't find my embossing powder . I just used Testors Model Master Leather for the wood, didn't try decals for console of dash woodgrain. Chassis was painted with Scale Finishes Lemon Twist then some clear shot on it. Most suspension parts were painted with Testors Semi-Gloss Black spray bomb. The rear leaf springs were coated in Testors Steel. The lower a-arms was painted with a mix of Testors Brass and Aluminum to similate the Cadium look as seen on restorations. Need to get more completed on the Mod Top soon.

It was $12 bucks and it worked great I thought. Just have to work with it alittle to get it to lay done with no wrinkles. In case you need it, here is Keith Marks website http://public.fotki.com/mofobow/plymouth/mod_top_pattern/ Thanks for all the comments. Much appreciated. Progress will be slow on these though.

This is the tale of 2 Cudas. One was born Lemon Twist and the other was born Ivy Green Metallic. The Lemon Twist I left the wheel lips alone the way they were molded, wish I had sanded them down alittle. Paint is from Scale Finishes and clear is Testors Model Master Lacquer High Gloss Clear. I polished the clear some and use Novus #2 to finish the body off. I Bare-Metal Foiled the trim. It will have Black interior and I have purchased a set of the AMT Goodyear Polyglas GT Tire sets for it. The Ivy Green Metallic, I decided to try and replicate Steve Juliano's Mod Top Hemi Car. I sanded down the wheel lips to look alittle more accurate. I added the vinyl top trim with Evergreen Strip Styrene half round .040". I added the same strip size to the roof to replicate the vinyl top seams and sanded them down some to flatten them out. Paint is again from Scale Finishes and clear is Testors Model Master Lacquer High Gloss Clear. I polished the clear some and use Novus #2 to finish the body off.I Bare-Metal Folied the trim. I purchased the Mod Top Floral pattern from Keith Marks Decals. I cut the Mod Top decal to approximate size and started to decal. I need to seal them with something, very fragile at this time and don't want them to flake off over time, any suggestion for sealing the decal pattern? This one will have the Dark Green Metallic interior in it. I purchased vinyl interior dye from Classic Industries for this. Interior Here's a few pics together.

Has a resin conversion ever been done for this concept vehicle? Would love to build one. http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/default.aspx?carID=732&i=4#menu

Has anybody ever made a resin up top for the Revell 1971 Cuda Convertible? Would like to get one if available?

Here's something I've been messing around with for the wife. She loves Chargers. She loves Purple so, I figured why not a Plum Crazy Charger for her. Plum Crazy paint is from Model Car World Automotive Finishes. Sprayed interior white then sprayed semi-gloss clear on it. Black carpet and dash. Chassis is painted Plum Crazy with details painted in various different colors. Engine is alittle to red though I believe. Body painted, bare-metal foiled, cleared and polished.

Love it. I have been thinking about one of these just like that. Thanks for sharing

Got a rollcage built, what a pain it was. It's not perfect but will work when assembled. Took a bucket seat out of a 63 Impala and modified the seat pattern to closer match what was in the car and painted it Red. The door panels were modified by taking out the lower portion of the rear panel and replacing it with just a flat piece of plastic. The interior was painted in different shades of Metallic Blue and Black. Rollcage was painted Black. Body has been decaled up using a set of Fred Cady decals, second attempt, couldn't get them to lay down in the door where I removed the trim. Painted up a set of PPP wheels and tires as well.

I don't think I have ever seen one of them build before. Always seemed like a donor kit. Looks good. It is a nice paint scheme.

Sorry guys it's the Lindberg Petty kit from a few years ago. Thanks for the comments guys.

Continuing with my Daytona 500 Winners, I've gotten started on my 1964 Winner. With the help from the Randy Ayers Nascar Modeling forum and the internet, I have been able to find out that the car was not all Petty Blue like so many build them. The car was our received a Factory Light Blue with Metallic Blue interior. They sprayed the body in the Petty Blue and left the interior mostly stock with a rollcage added that was painted to match the interior color. The chassis and under hood was left as delivered. So I proceeded based on this information and this is what I came up with. I mixed Testors Light Blue and white together and airbrushed the chassis. I sprayed the interior Testors Laqcuer Silver Blue Metallic and I just used Testors Big Bad Blue for the body. My not be the right colors but close enough for me. I used the great Poweside decals as well. Pictures was taken with my phoen so they are not the best right now.

I don't see what the big deal with her is. Everyone talks about how good looking driver she is but barf!!! I don't get? There have been other female drivers but none of them have had the push like she has gotten. I just don't get it. Every time they start talking about her if I even I try to watch the race, I tune it out, mute it or change channel for a few minutes. If I choose to watch the racing, I want to watch it for the racing not Nascar pushing a female driver.

Any updates?

Just did a quick search on evilbay to see what they had in the vehicles. I forgotten alot of them. I think I still have some of my toys stashed. Some of them high very high prices on them. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2053587.m570.l1311.R3.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xm.a.s.k.&_nkw=m.a.s.k.+toys&_sacat=0&_from=R40

The bottles I got has gloss enamel on them and was reading on his application guide and was thinking that I didn't need to clear it but I seen where he offers different paint types i believe so I was wondering what all you guys have done. Thanks.

I have seen so many of you guys using Scale Finishes paint, that I decided to try it myself. I have ordered some and I have seen where some of you use the Tamiya Primer under it. Does the paints need to be lceared or not?

I am looking for a 1967 Cougar to build the Bud Moore prepped Trans Am race cars. Does anybody know where I may find a resin kit?

How much work would it take Revell to take there 69 Camaro and do a 67-68 Camaro? We need a good 67-68 Camaro model kit. I would think that the Revell 69 Camaro would be a good starting place wouldn't it?

Has anybody ever done deacls to replicate this car? In my search for reference pictures of Trans-Am series cars I came across it and like the looks of the green and white.

Awesome. Looks great.
