Thats for the update Dave. I am looking forward to this kit. I already have the Hudson on the way and would like to get multiple kits of the 300. A Desoto would be great as well. I am tired of seeing the same thing built over and over. Its good to have a few more options out there to build. Thanks again everybody at Moebius. Keep up the great work.

If it comes with the fence and tree, maybe thats what makes it worth the extra $$$ that they want for a Trumpeter model?
-
Now we have the Hudson out any updates on the 300?

Any updates?

Awesome have thought about trying to replicate that car many times. Looks great.

I think it was more of a case of "just dumb luck" on the paint. But thanks guys for the comments on the great paint. I also had planned on doing Ronnie's ProMod Comet, in fact I just received the resin body from Bandit Resins but the body isn't correct for Ronnie's car so I don't know what I will do now for that.

Not a big update but, I got the salt flat discs epoxyed onto wheels the other night and dug out some tires that will fit the wheels. I don't know why Revell has to mold the rear wheels bigger than the fronts but they do. I wanted to use the same size wheels front and rear so I had to get into the parts boxes and find some tires that would work. I need to get the ride heght worked out as well now that I have my wheels and tires selected. I have also been working slowly on the interior trying to get that completed. I also ordered a set of the decals from Decals by Lucas to see what there quailty was like. Have never used any of theres so I am looking forawrd to receiving them. I may end up using the decals from Decals by Lucas instead of the ones I got from Model Car World a couple years ago. We will see. Sorry I have no pics at this time. Will keep plugging along as my soon to be 9 month old daughter will let me.

Any updates on this? -
Can anybody help in knowing if there are any differences in these kits other than the bodies and decals? Does the Jukebox Ford actually have a ford motor or is it the same as the Chevy? I am looking at doing a early Ford Promod that had a Ford engine it and would like to get opinions as to the best starting point.

Thanks for the comments. Had a few minutes last night to work on the enginie some and interior a little, sorry no pics yet. Moving ahead slowly.

Here's a couple of Ronnie Sox cars that I have been working on as well.

Here's a few of mine.

Paint was all out of a spray can btw no rubbing or polishing yet.

Thanks black is hard to get to look good, hope I don't mess it up. The top pic shows salt flat discs and the bottom one shows steelies. It says he ran the discs then just went to steelies. I thought it would be cool and interesting to replicate with the discs.

Easy there, Ronnie was the man in Mopars!!!!!!!! By the way it was Plymouths. I know just kiddin, he was great in everything he drove from Chevies to the Mercury Comet in '64 to finally Plymouths in '65. Although he would return to the Ford camp ('89ish T-Bird and '64 Promod Comet) and Chevy camp ('84 Camaro Prostock) later in his career but ultimately he would return to Mopar.

I believe this is a first for me to post progress build. Here is a project that I started in between taking care of my 7 month old daughter, work and the honey do list. A few years back I purchased the decals for this car from Model Car World and there resin Impala body but since Revell has brought out there '62 Impala, it takes away some of the work. I have painted the body with Testors Model Master Lacquer, Bare-Metal trim and them sprayed a good coat of Tamiya Clear over it all. I have sprayed the interior red but it had to much gloss to it so I use Testors Dull-cote but it has dulled it to much. I have purchased a set of Salt Flat Discs from Parts by Parks (I have 14" and 15" to see which ones fit the wheels and tires better). I am looking forward to getting more finished on this to add to my Sox & Martin collection. Would anybody have any other pictures of this car, would like to have more reference if possible? Hope you guys enjoy it.

Awesome looking 300. Love it.
-
They both look great. I have both of them to build as well. Love these old Mopars.
-
Awesome. Thanks for the updates.

I had posted the other day to see if anyone has cleared over Model Car World decals. I have cleared over decals before but not theres. Also recently I have been using the Model Master Lacquer Clear but just yesterday I tried the Tamiya Clear and like that too. Has anybody cleared other them and if so what had you used? I want to protect the decals and give them alittle shine since it is an old super stock drag car that orignally had the graphics painted on. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Has anybody gotten one of these yet? I was wondering what is really different with this kit. I was at a car show this weekend and seen them in a booth but, didn't get one. It appears to not have any of the drag parts or the steel wheels in it. Looks like the only options for wheels are stock full wheel covers and a set of large diameter custom wheels.

After seeing how great of a kit the Lonestar rig is that Mobeius has done, I can't wait for this and the Chrysler 300!!!!

Can't we all just get along and build our models the way we see fit. I am blown away with the detail, be it correct or not, that someone puts into a model of this car. John looks unbelievable with all the detail. If people don't like what you are doing then, don't watch. I for one will continue watching all your builds.
