  1. I will see if I can find them when I get some free time. I know Ratnasty had some on Ebay some time back.
  2. I hope he gets feeling better and decides to stay with it.
  3. Glad to hear you got a quick Response Jason. I hope he is not closing! he has way to many cool decals I still want!
  4. Has anyone heard anything from Rick? He is really good about answering emails and I have not heard from him about a small issue I had on an order and was hoping he is ok. It has been several months and that is just not like him. He has really nice decals and normally great customer service. I would like to order more if I know everything is alright. Thanks
  5. The rears are from the old Killer Cuda kit, the fronts are from the Smokey Convoy Chaser Dart. Thanks
  6. Just a small up date.
  7. As a kid the highlight of the year was Autoworlds new catalog with all the MPC annuals. Now I know their chassis and engines were very simple but like Johan they bodies were dead on great looking. As a life long Mopar fan only Johan and MPC got the looks right.
  8. I think people have cloudy memories of the past. The 80s were a tough time for all the car makers. The K car series were good cars for the time. Car & Driver headlines were "Chrysler digs out with a dandy new shovel." when the first two were tested. The Daytona turbo was K based as was much of the line up. They were tough profitable cars that were as good or better then anything that the competition had at the time. Now we look back at those cars and say, "What junk." Which is the same thing the people in the 80s thought of cars from the 70s. Would I trade My 2006 Charger R/T for a 1989 Daytona Turbo.. Heck nooooo! But I would trade it for my old 1970 440+6 Roadrunner. Just my 2 cents.
  9. OUTSTANDINH NEWS! There are sooo many cars I want to do with this kit! Thank you for the info!
  10. Looking forward to seeing it!
  11. Another great one! Man you can build!
  12. I have some other photos of this car I used for my build I can send you if you are interested. Love the project.
  13. A nice 68 Barracuda. A correct 71 Challenger. A correct 70 Cuda. A 70 Dart Swinger. A 78 Magnum. A 80 Mirada. A early 60s D 100 pick up. Any AWB Dodge or Plymouth. A 68 Coronet R/T
  14. Nice save. One of my favorite cars.
  15. As a new parent and our first, it is a life changer and a sleep and time killer.
  16. I agree with Bill the restored car has a metallic look to it. Even all the photos I have of Rallye Green cars vary from car to car. I went with Tamiya TS 35 Park Green to go with the decals. I had to use a dark gray primer, then a white primer to kill the orange plastic. I will have to wait to see how it all works out.
  17. What I based it on was Plymouth Rallye Green. That is what I read was the cars real color. I could not find Rallye Green except for $35.00 rattle cans. I do not air brush as of yet. I used a Tamiya green but off the top of my head I am not sure which one. I will look when I get a chance.
  18. The decal that I will be using are from decals by Lucas. It is a Johan body, AMT chassis and other bits. The hood and seats are from Harts Parts. Still finding all the motor parts. The bottom photo is of the restored car, I have not found many photos of it in action.
  19. With a new born baby in the house this is going to take awhile. Thanks for looking.
  20. Thanks for the reply. I really like decals by Lucas also, unfortunately I have been waiting 3 months for my last order and my last email has gone unanswered. I hope Rick is ok as i have always had good luck with them in the past.
  21. Very cool subject!
  22. Very nice! I really like the engine detail. What did you use to make the screens for the carb stacks? Great Job!
  23. Outstanding work!
