I had one of those rules.....thought it was nifty when I bought but never used it......better go looking for it.

MCW shows the Cuda A F/X. I've had a couple of their resins before and can attest they are of highest quality. Anyone have a source for decals? Top quality injected Hemi motor?

Flintstone stuff is weird.......some of its thick slush cast unworkable hunks while other pieces are pretty good and some are excellent. I recommend looking at Flintstone at shows. Inexpensive and typically unique products. don't automatically discount it as unusable.

How close is that to the Hemi Under Glass re-issue?

Had both a Dodge Daytona and a Laser XT......great car. I do miss mine.

I stumbled upon this and am encouraged to pull out a long dormant project. A couple of thoughts: After being allowed to rust almost into oblivion, the Missile is being restored. Here's a link to a facebook page dedicated to its restoration: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1025140980845284.1073741834.810583018967749&type=3Interesting choice on bodies. When Revell's Cuda was released there was a lot of discussion as to the best 'Cuda body. I'm not sure the Jo-han is more accurate than the MPC body. Either are more accurate than the Revell. The MPC offers the advantage of the Motown scoop if you can find one. I'm interested to see how you handle the headlights.....I've got a good guess.The Revell kit is a good parts kit for this build. The chassis and interior are much more accurate than either the Jo-han or MPC. You can get the Revell chassis to fit the MPC body. Good luck on getting it to fit under the Jo-han. The interior builds up off a platform which mounts to the chassis plate. This makes using the chassis plate and the interior a huge challenge to fit under the MPC kit. I wouldn't attempt it under the Jo-han.. Doable on the MPC, but not a shake and bake.I look forward to following your build. Who knows, maybe I can move mine forward.

Curious as to how you spaced the drilled holes. They look dead on.

Looks fun.

MPC made one. Bring money, lots of money. Its in Rod Shop livery. One of the most expensive MPC annuals. I'd look at the AMT Charger which is a 1971. Better kit and affordable.

By George I think you've got it! This is a car I'd like to build (with a Challenger body) but always have stopped because the sides weren't right. Your paint job is the closest I've seen to being accurate for the Challenger.

Details please on the paint technique....

If this hint deals with a cover car from an issue or two ago, I'd be thrilled.

Do you ever look at a kit that is so well done, you don't even want to attempt it. Its a rare emotion for me, but this is so beyond my abilities, I see this kit staying sealed. Mercy this is beautiful. Carl Casper would be thrilled.

Just saw this.....this is a holy grail kit for me, built better than I could ever hope for. Absolutely amazing work.

First time I've seen this post. Also the first time I've seen this brick actually look like a race car. Great work.

I love this mock up. Any info on the forks?

As badly contorted some rat rods are, it might be the first time that kit has been issued when it has been somewhat accurate.

Those look like museum display cases. There is absolutely no reason not to display those in the living room. Even my wife would go for those. I'd like to find a US source.

My first thought was "that looks right." High compliment in my book. Care to share how you made the cowl covering? Mike

Made me smile! I appreciate it.

Stock wheels and tires? I could use those for a couple of projects.

Looks very sweet! Can you share what tools you have such as milling machine and lathe? Clayton Harris ran a narrow rear end dragster in the mid 70's. I don't remember how well it ran.

Is this the SMER kit or the Revival kit? Either way, it looks great.

Some magazines still have value. I recently lost my Rodders Journals and Hot Rod Deluxe. Those are still somewhat in demand. A lot of value has to do with the title. Some magazines such as Hot Rod were very common in the early seventies with circulations near 250,000 (they claimed it on their cover). Others like Drag Racing USA had runs much lower. Curious thing, I am a paper guy. I don't know when I finally move back into my hobby room if I will move my magazine collection or not. It used to take up six large four drawer file cabinets. Of course, a lot depends on what they smell like.

Holy Cow Batman......my post was from April 2008! Must be Halloween cause this is bringing up the dead!
