Project X of the Yukon!

I've been having problems with my mail coming up missing. I sent a letter to Oregon, and 1 year later I got it back with a note saying it was lost in Hawaii.

Thanks, he just answered me.

MCW does not answer their e-mails when trying to find out if they have a car in stock. Why is it in this day and age, a guy like me can accept Paypal and MCW cannot? I'm expected to send a copy of an order form with my credit card number on it? This is 2014, and I do not understand how this company can keep going without having some way to process orders online. I really want to order one of their kits, but the idea of sending my credit card number or a check in todays questionable mail delivery makes me nervous. How do you buy stuff from Model Car World?

I suppose you could just cut off the 340, and put the stripes on without it.

I can't wait to see more of the stock body Scott.

I've been wanting to build the cars from the movie Hot Rod. The '65 Plymouth, the Willys (sleep at Violet Springs) and the Olds Cutlass owned by "Funny Sonny" Munn.

SNAZZY!!!

GMP aka ACME had the same thing happen to their wonderful 1/18 1970 Plymouth Road Runner/GTX molds.

Now that is beautiful.

He only had a Belvedere I and it was a sedan, not a hardtop. Thanks for the help though. This body appears to be a Belvedere/Satellite hybrid. The Satellite trim on the rear quarter isn't there, and it doesn't have the chrome strip down the side like a Belvedere II hardtop would have. I'm not sure if the RO cars could be had as a hardtop back in 65.

Even though I was building models in 1965, I have no recollection of ever seeing a 1965 Satellite or Belvedere kit. According to what I have read, Jo-Han, AMT, and MPC all passed on the subject for that year. The only 1965 Mopar B Body was the AMT 1965 Coronet. But looking at this resin car I bought on Ebay last night, I wonder what the parent of this car is. It's not an RR Vacum Craft, nor is it a Model Car World body. You can plainly see the old chassis mounting bosses on the radiator support like a Jo-Han, so what did I buy? The seller gives no name, or offers any insight into who cast this, but it looks pretty good for 25 bucks.

That would be a nice railroad vehicle.

I'll be watching for the stock version, I think a streetable car like the one in my photo would be a nice addition to my collection, even with me being a Mopar fan.

Looks good James. Long time no hear. Happy Holidays.

That's a great looking truck! I like the 2 tone paint.

Saw this on the web, and it's a very sharp car. Wonder if you could build this from your Fairmont body Scott?

I had a storefront for over 15 years. I closed because I couldn't compete with the Walmart down the street. I must have not been a "smart" store owner. I find that statement to be a little insulting Tom.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but a Mustang chassis would be a good start to make the Ranchero more realistic.

The "Rail Job" was a Fad T with long front frame rails. They only show it in the race with the Cobra. I'd like to make the '56 Pie Wagon, a friend of mine lives in Boston, and says he sees the real thing at car shows all the time.

Has anyone ever built the cars from the movie Hollywood Knights? Turk's El Camino and Pie Wagon, the Rail Job, the police car, or Jimmy Shine's '61 Ford?

The body sides on the '81-'93 are completely different.

So the Walton's Truck must have been a '29 then? But I suspect they used more than one truck on the series, because I remember the large pickup and a flatbed also.

Why do some of the AA's have curved backs on the cab, and others have flat backs on the cab?

Scott, this looks great! I'd like to do a Dodge Mirada like this.
