  1. Do a search for 1965 D200 carrier bearing?
  2. I know there have been people begging for a '68 Coronet for years. I'd be on board for one...I can't afford 100 bucks.
  3. Tom, I read on ALLPAR, /6 engines were pretty much turqoise or orange, although they do mention yellow. It does say industrial or military though. My '71 was a 3/4 ton, with the 4sp/creeper, and it also had a 12 inch clutch. It also had what appeared to be a 4 inch diameter driveshaft that was 1 piece with no carrier bearing.
  4. Seems strange that pretty much everything else in the drivetrain is available but drive shafts. Hey resin casters, this seems to be a natural to add.
  5. GMP lost the mold for the 1970 Plymouths. They go pretty high, and the In-Violet Road Runners have been selling anywhere from 300 to 500 dollars on ebay. Yes, the market has gone down. I didn't buy my cars for investments though, I bought them because I like them. I have over 300 1/18s in my collection, and have no plans to part with them. When I die my wife can have a big yard sale.
  6. Try to buy this car for less than 3 to 400 dollars.
  7. I had a '68 and a '71 both with slant sixes, and mine were that blue/green color. I never saw a yellow Mopar engine.
  8. Sorry about the pun on the topic title. Does anyone make a driveshaft kit? I've been searching high and low, and I've found trannies and rear ends, transfer cases galore, but no drive shaft kits. I've got several builds going now and I need a few driveshafts.
  9. I'd love to see somebody make a resin '70 Road Runner off the old Johan.
  10. When I click on Parts, there is nothing there, just some stuff about international orders.
  11. Weren't they really classed as J-10s and J-20s?
  12. I installed some Cady tire decals on a set of vinyl tires on my '70 El Camino, and they have always been kinda sticky.
  13. As an old senior citizen that has been building models since the fifties, I can only say I have not been as excited about model kits for a long time. Now comes Moebius and it's 1969 again! I can't wait until these kits are released. I can only hope there will be 4 Wheel Drive versions and Step Side versions in the wings. This all gives me hope, and something to look forward to again. Now if only they would make a late '60s, early '70s Dodge Pickup that I can afford. Sure there's resin, but a retired person can't afford $100+ for a Dodge Pickup.
  14. I noticed his website has no prices, and hasn't been updated for a long time. How do you get a price list from him? Isn't this the guy that used to run a hobby shop in Meadville PA? If it is, I've met him.
  15. I'm thinking about putting a resin Dodge Bighorn cab on mine.
  16. Did anyone else grab one of these Rollbacks from JADA? I got the black one, and it scales out nice with 1/25th models.
  17. I've been building models for over 50 years, and all I can say is I have been totally speechless. Randy, this is a wonderful build, you really have talent! I kept watching, but was mesmorized. Glad it's getting Stacks!
  18. Painting, my wife gives me grief, even with water base. "I can smell that!"
  19. That's one of the best NASCAR builds I have seen in my 60+ years!
  20. I think they should go back to 1960s style cars. The sheet metal guys can make anything. We used to call NASCAR Stock Car Racing, now it's Bubble Car Racing. I watched my last race over 10 years ago, it just got boring.
