Thank you Rick. I still need one more emblem if anybody would have one.

Would anyone that has build a Moebius Hudson Hornet as a custom and didn't use the rocket trunk emblem be willing to sell their emblem? I'm looking for 2 of them for a project that I'm thinking of doing and think they may work for it. It is part # 122 in the kit.

Just completed my 1955 Championship Chrysler 300 as driven by Tim Flock to his 2nd Championship. Moebius kit, Tamiya Racing White. Just box stock.

Not too bad of a year for me.

After a couple hours in oven cleaner and little sanding, I think the hood is workable now.

Had the body in the purple pond for a week. The decals came right off. The white paint the was goobered on the cowl panel has been striped. The grille has popped put. The taillight panel on the other hand didn't fair out to well. I've got the hood in oven cleaner now to see if that will do anything to the white paint that was heavily applied as the purple pond didn't touch the hood. I was able to find some windows, a grille shell and front bumper on ebay.

Here's another glue bomb that I got from my local hobby shop from a collection they purchased and selling off. It's an old buildup of the MPC Butch Leal 1972 Duster Pro Stock kit. Not much was painted which is a good thing but the glue, it was had to disassemble. So much glue on the grille that I'm afraid that if I try to get it out, that is will break the grille or the body. Not sure what to do about that. The same for the clear red piece for the tail lights. The rear window already had a cracked in it and that was a total casualty of disassembly. Nothing on the engine block as it had the hood glued shut. I had to saw cut the hood out. Overall not bad for $15 I'd say.

Not 100% what happened here in the past. Need to clean this up

After letting the body sit in my stripper, the body has cone out fairly clean. Down to bare plastic. Looked like it may have been painted 3 times, blue, a green and the mustard yellow. I see some body damage on the driver side front fender I will need to tend to as well as gluing in the cowl panel and fixing a cracked passenger side a post

My plan is to go back to stock or "Day2" appearance.

Just picked this up at my local hobby shop. They just bought a collection off a couple that had no interest in models. Not sure how they got a hold of them. Anyway., grabbed some pictures of it prior to throwing it in the purple pond. Gonna be a long process. It appears a though it has been painted a few times. I can see some blue under the yellow. The chassis is junk, not sure what to do with the engine. The body is very brittle. The cowl panel has fallen out just looking at it.

Very nice

Decided this week to respray. Scuffed and primed with Tamiya White primer. Then I broke out my airbrush and a bottle of Testors Fluorescent Yellow. Looks much better I think

Picked this kit up prior to his wining of the Championship. Bought a can of Krylon Fluorescent Yellow. Scuffed the body and sprayed directly over the Yellow body was molded in. Turned out bright but not right. Never had much success spraying Fluorescent Yellow for some reason.

Thank you all for the comments.

Just completed my 1957 Bel Air Hardtop. Built straight out of the box except the tires. Found a setfrom a Parts Pak that the wheels fit better in. Airbrushed with Tamiya Red with no clear. Bare-metal foil on the trim. Red and Black interior. First time trying to detail up a set of stock wheel covers, I don't think they look to bad. Really pleased with how this turned out.

WOW! My local hobby shop has one of these out of a private collection they have purchased and selling. Was thinking about picking it up but haven't. May have to after seeing yours.

I just recently picked one of these at my local Walmart. I'm thinking about Surf Blue (the new B5 blue) on mine. I will be watching and following your build as well as mrmikes' build. These do look good in Green.

Dash completed

Not a nice day outside here in Maryland so, modeling time. Working on chassis, engine and interior. Making good progress.

Challenger is the Revell model based off the diecast mold.

Just got another body ready and painted for assembly this winter. MPC 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Convertible. Primed and airbrushed with ScaleFinishes Chrysler Turbine Bronze

Got my wheel and tires choice detailed up. Kit wheel cover but using AMT Parts Pak wide whitewall tires. The wheel didn't want to seat down into the kit supplied whitewall tire like they should.

Was trying to get some bodies painted to have for winter assembly but, this one keeps calling to me. Thus kit was bought out of a 2nd hand collection that my local hobby shop had purchased. First time trying to airbrush Tamiya X-7 Red. Primed with with Tamiya White Primer and them airbrushed. No clear, no polishing. Got the Bare-metal trim completed. Painted the interior Red and Black and used a silver sharpie for silver piping between colors. Want to try and build it completely stock but, we'll see what I can do with the wheel covers.

Might be a little better screenshot.
