I'd like to get in on this one too,being open ended. It'll be a bit before I can get to a Mopar though,several in front of it on the bench,but I'll check in and follow along. I'm thinking anything from a '69 Super Bee to another Daytona to a Shelby Charger maybe.

The Hornet's Nest: Hudson Hornet Build Madness!
Olskoolrodder replied to Dr. Cranky's topic in Community Builds
Looks great! DIGGIN' that Caddy mill -
That's what I was thinking too (Bradley). Man,there's a nice looking '02 V6 (automatic ) car at a used lot down the road for only $2995...sure wish it was tax refund time,LOL! I thinks I'm gunna go look at it anyways...no budget to buy,but I always wondered if I'd be happy with a V6 car for a daily (assuming the buying of a Bullitt or clone is a ways off,use my '94 GT to play with )

Thinking of some new CBP ideas(updated OP)
Olskoolrodder replied to martinfan5's topic in Community Builds
That said,I can't see a "build your first car (or your first car that was offered in kit form)" CBP failing,everyone had a first car (or most likely anyways,or at least a first car that they owned that was kitted) -

Cloning,huh....IDK if I orta,I was already thinking of cloning a S281 (Saleen) with my GT one day,that'd be two clones,LMBO! Well,OK...the thought (the S281 thing) had been on my mind anyways,LOL! MrMike,look for a PM in a few

Thinking of some new CBP ideas(updated OP)
Olskoolrodder replied to martinfan5's topic in Community Builds
1) Good point 2) I could do it with a straight face (I agree on the '64.5-66 though) 3) Not at all,at least not here,all valid points (I thought Pacers were cool too,BTW),styling is purely subjective as just seen (see #2),I think it would be "Build what you consider ugly",since it's the only way it could actually run. BTW,be glad I wasn't one of those "punk kids" at the light,unless you roll under mid 13's you wouldn't have seen the horsie on mine's nose. No bottle,no blower (yet),just bolt ons for now,it'll be quicker (while still remaining a well rounded street car) next year -
Well,I knew they built about 7,700 of em,so despite that 2,600 or so was built in 2009 rather than 2008...doesn't really help there being more to choose from when I have the scratch ,still a cool bit o trivia I didn't (or wouldn't have) know(n) if not for your thread,Mike,thanks,my friend

It looks good none-the-less,my friend,and I envy your BMF skillz!

Olskoolrodder replied to martinfan5's topic in Community Builds
I could do a "build your first car",and an "Ugly car" CBP all from the same kit-which I happen to have! I second those two -
I've seen nothing about them ('09 Bullitts) in any of the books I've read\own...weird ,I must research this further Mike,thanks for the info! That means I may have better luck looking for one when I get that I can (between next year and '13) being some extras made of them I'm always watching the '01 Bullitts and '08's on Autotrader.com,just to torture myself,LOL!

1985 Dodge Daytona; Semi-replica of a 1:1 I owned
Olskoolrodder replied to Olskoolrodder's topic in Model Cars
Thanks,and sweet! If I don't post on the threads when you do,it means I missed em,PM me that you're doing one -
Looks completely like something I'd love to tool around in,Chuck,NICELY done,my friend! :D
-
Dave: If I can't get anything better out of this hood,I may just order another (at my expense,it was my bad) and just give that a try,thanks for the advice Jonathan: SWEET! Mike: REALLY nice builds,my friend! I think you meant '08 though,Neither Ford nor Revell produced an '09 Bullitt
-
Unfortunately no,I didn't have the camera,and the salesman was with me anyways (well,sales-LADY,not salesman ) Well,I stripped the hood back down (in a real mood over something,couldn't sleep so after a few hours,I just got back up and did it),prepped and washed it again,and...and...here's the result: IDK what the heck I'm gunna have to do,I not only followed the maker's instructions,I used the same spray he does (no Tamiya primer on it this time,Duplicolor like Alex uses)...never had this problem with one of his hoods (I highly doubt it's a problem on his end though). Sent him fresh pic too,I'll see what he recommends So it ain't just you,Joshua,LOL! BTW,that GT500 looks sweet!

Joshua-Looking GOOD! Jonathan-Nope,NOT stripping the body . I'm going to be stripping the hood and re-prepping over the weekend (hard to find time between holiday and kids off from school),spray it to match. Haven't gotten anything done to it since Wednesday,but didn't really ecpect to being this week. HOPING to get the interior sprayed and going tomorrow (as well as working on the hood). Had a good Turkey Day,but turned out to be pretty upsetting\bad time as I found out some things (that I should have had enough sense to know well sooner),but oh well,that might turn out as a benefit (for us,anyways) in the long run Of topic a bit,but one of the nice things about pulling on a lot (on Black Friday,no less) in my old GT is sales-peeps seem to automatically think I'm an almost-mid-ager with a pocket of money (BOY wouldn't they be shocked! )-all I really wanted was a catalog on the '11s or a '10 one if they still had any,for referance pics,but was offered (and accepted) a test ride in both a Premium V6\automatic AND a new Coyote 5.0L\6spd GT today (I ran it pretty hard from every redlight too,once up to about 80 at the town's last light on the hwy ).....Ooooooooooooooooooooh I need one Now,mine (which ain't as stock as it looks ) will outrun the new V6 car,it ('11 V6) wasn't that far off (the new 305 horse V6 compared to mine)...but mine doesn't exactly get 31 MPG's (it's never busted 27 MPG's,and as it sits,averages 15-19 town\hwy)...not bad

Fox Chassis (Ford) community build anyone?
Olskoolrodder replied to whale392's topic in Community Builds
Me too! -
That's a darn good looking Hud,Brother! LOVING the colors

I am,I just haven't had chance to strip and redo it yet. That GT500 hood (and it's body which I used for paint compatibility checking purposes) was used as a test mule to check a darker base coat under this green
