Well no matter what intake it sure is a pretty build, nice job

Very nice but I don't understand. The class is A/Gas Supercharged but you have three two's on it.

I noticed he was crazy on the posters also. I can only hope no one is that stupid

Never throw away kits. Save them for parts. I have no idea what will strip that paint, but Castrol Super Clean not purple power will strip just about anything. The extra money for the name brand is worth it. I have both and the Castrol works better. Put the kit in something and let it soak for a few days, you are not going to hurt it. I just got a car that was sitting in the soup for over 2 months and its OK. With true lacquer you might want to try 90% alcohol . Some guys for years have used oven cleaner which is lye, I don't like being around or smelling that stuff. And lastly brake fluid which worked well on metal parts but not so much on plastic at least for me. As most people here will tell you is practice practice practice what ever paint and equipment you decide to use. Good Luck

Steve, in real life the Ply had a shorter W.B. than the Dod. That is what got Landy into messing with the W,B. and creating the the 1964 awb Dodge. The shorter W.B. hooked up better and his Ply ran faster than his Dodge even after switching all the parts from Ply to Dodge.

MCW lists a 1964 Ply 2dr sdn part no. PLY-64SD for $40.00. They also have a hardtop and there made to work with the lindy kits I believe.

There was an article here or in our trade mags about using fingernail stuff. The article made it look like someone as challenged as me could do it. It was 2 part epoxy basically .

Re-issues would be fine by me if they wern't exact re-issues. What I mean is make the trans an option for stick or auto, console or no, different intakes and carbs. Something that other than paint the same model on the shelf. I think revell would do good just by doing this to the tri 5 chevy's.

I don't fool with 1/24. With that being said I got an honest 15 to 18 feet of so called 1/25 models and believe me the term 1/25 is used Very Loosely. There all parked parallel and its very easy to spot the difference. I know some run small and I think some of the Rev/mono run large. But thats an opinion. I guess most people see the same thing but different. In the end its just a hobby.

I don't want any arguements but one castor advertised 1/25 and when I got it was 1/24. When I went back online they didn't list it anymore. If I knew in advance I would not of ordered it.

Why in the world they made the 56 a del ray and not a bel air I'll never know. Seems like the bel air would appeal to more people . The del ray is even hard to find on chevy info. Its like it didn't sell enough real cars to exist. Thank goodness for MCW.

Money well spent.

I have two shelves with a total of 39 cars all done and parked next to each other that are supposed to be 1/25 scale. I don't know what they measure out to but the term 1/25 is used Very liberally . I probably have about a dozen 1/24 kits I mostly bought for parts and they are bigger but not by much .

I noticed when everybody dumped them for dupli-color that things had changed. I used the tamiya nozzle which helped but after later buying more the stuff , it was way way thicker. I have no answer, I went back to tamiya primer.

I bought one of the aztec/testers air brush when they first came out and fell in love with it. I still have it and use it. I use my Pasches vls for body paint jobs and the testers on engines and chassis and always with Metalizers . It is so nice when cleaning the head and yes Ive tore them apart and picked out engine enamel. I still have the cheap plastic/rubber hose on it but the other end has a regular quick disconnect air fitting. I hope you get squared away and like yours as much as I do. Good Luck

John your a very lucky guy, to not only not of gotten hurt but to have such great Mopars. and a real fine modeler.

Don't know if its true, but i read where a owner of a casino with a car collection wanted a Hemi in a station wagon and at first Mother Mopar said no. But later recanted and he got his Hemi wagon. Don't remember the year. But 1964 and 1965 were race only engines, they would of been a real pain to drive on the street.

Tamiya semi gloss black spray cans. buy them 6 at a time.

I too agree, well worth it.

Tim, was looking at MCW web tonight for something else and seen two. first was Dragon Lady and next was Herb Mccandless both for 1965 Plymouth at $10.00 each.

426-S had chrome valve covers and air cleaner, single afb 4 barrel . I think that might be it externally. Wouldn't have a guess on panel lines.

For a hemi 1966 and newer the only correct finish would be black wrinkle paint on the valve covers. The chrome you will see was for super stock option and have a different bolt pattern than the painted and are NOT interchangeible they were the 1965 type allowed when these cars ran ss, not stock

Me too

Many many moons ago a company called The Good Guys used to make them. I thought they made nice stuff. Seems they had a falling out and I never heard from then again.
