I take my pictures on my wife's I Phone 7 S..Transfer them to my email then save them on file..Then I send then to the site I'am on..I don't have a hosting site so I can't post on Spotlight or Scale Auto, but have no problem on this site..

Just saw today that Barris did that car as a 67 X for an Imperial Oil give away in Canada..There were four built for that contest..Ugly is for sure..

Everybody has their wishes and wants, but in this day and age the hobby of modeling cars/trucks the manufacturers have to choose very carefully..They have to be able to make various variations of any new kit with little modifications to the mold..Why Mobius ever did the Hudson is a question to me, but they were successful..I don't know why, but you seldom see one at a show now or can't buy one now..Revell did well with the 57 Ford line and Mobius did well with the 65 "B" body Plymouth line..Who knows what,if anything is coming..It will have to be successful for sure in the market place.The majority of us are now getting older so its got to be good.

You will notice from the top picure there is no dent in the door.The chrome is straight and not dented like on the bottom picture..

You got it rusting in all the right areas and not over done..Very nice work..At first I thought it was an old build that just didn't have a good life, but then really looked at it, and yes its very well done.

For the ingition coil..Couldn't find it on the sprue so it hasn't got one..

After paint 15 years ago and lots of time building (had to do two chassis and exhaust) its finally finished..Box stock (no dexterity or patience)..This build fought lots of the way, but taught me to bear with it and don't chuck it against the wall..Thanks to my friends for keeping on me to finish it..Hope it passes the test...

Air cleaner and valve covers were not chrome..Engine paint is Duplicolor Chrysler Turquoise and now they call it Chrysler green..Looks the same..My 1:1 was Plasticote Chrysler Engine Turquoise but they don't have it any more, so the Duplicolor is the one..Engine doesn't look too bad for 40,000 miles of driving eh? Clean it ever time I take it out..

Where did you find or how did you do a model of a 440 2 door post? Thats a rare car in 1:1 let alone a model..

The air cleaners on the 64 and 65 big blocks had the large ribbed sides..I'll show you on my 64 Convertible..

Hope I don't hi-jack your thread with this car but its one of the MPC Modified stock cars series..Built about 28 years ago its starting to show its age..

I've seen Fury III with buckets in the USA but never seen one in Canada..On another post above you mentioned the 65 Satellite engine..You could also use the V8 from the 64 Plymouth(Lindberg)..Its got the correct larger air cleaner on it..You could also use the 6 cylinder as there were some Fury III with that engine..

Nice body for a funny car..

Hemi was NOT available in Fury..The Hemi became public buying in 1966 in the intermediates, not the 'C" bodies, although I bet one or two snuck out with one, or someone had an inside person..

Our Michael's store in Winnipeg are BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH..We have two Hobby shops here..Eliminator Hobbies is like an old hardware store..Creaky flooring and tons of models/RC cars and such..Great selection and prices..We also have Celler Dweller in the North End..Great guys to deal with too..Lost Gooches but these two keep going..Good to see them keep at it..Guess the R/C stuff is big..

Those cars were good looking cars when they came out compared to the Valiant..The problems (rust) they had and unreliabity didn't make them a good purchase..Now they are a desired to the Mopar show car scene..Didn't want one then but wouldn't mind one now..Your wife's was a good looking car with a nice color..You'll do up a nice model I'am sure..

Beautiful model..When my mom and dad bought their 66 Fury hardtop the sales guy said he had one in the compound(across the city) He would bring it in for us..He said it was a dark metallic maroon just like yours..Lied, it was dark green with a beige interior..They asked me as I was and still am the car guy..Yes..Yours reminds me of what our Fury could have looked like..

Black semi gloss paint brushed by hand..

The AMT 69 GTX isn't bad but when you foil the w/shield frame it seems to bend in the middle..Here is one I did 20 yrs ago..

My first new car, 1969 Sport Satellite, bright bronze with white top, White/tan interiorBuckets and center seat..383 4BBL..Wish I still had it but traded it for a 70 Challenger..Long gone now, and still haven't seen one in the same color scheme with a 383..

Pictures are nice and the build is killer..Good thing for lights and white paper eh..Very clean and well done..

I've never polished plastic since the 60s when I rarely painted the bodies..One good thing about polishing plastic is you don't go through the clear and high spots..

All on the American taxpayers dime..Hope you enjoyed that.

I shoot my pictures from my wife's Iphone 7S..Email them to myself full size..Seems to work for me..

Use DOT-3 Make sure it is not synthetic..Let soak overnight the clean off paint..Wash part of body(what ever) in Dawn Soap, with no additives or smells in it..Rinse with cold water and dry..Let air dry after ward..Clean as new..
