I’ve been contemplating getting a couple of this kit. Your mockup looks awesome! I’ll definitely be buying a couple now.

This was the very first model I built at age 12. I would mow, weed whack, rake clippings, sweep sidewalks and wash my grandmothers car for which I was paid the handsome sum of $30(a lot of money for a kid 40 years ago) and she would take me to Kmart where they had models for $3.99-$4.99 at the time. My first couple of builds were unpainted (just Testors silver chrome sloppily brushed onto window trim)but one day I was asked if I would repaint her front porch table and chairs so that’s when I discovered spray paint. It’s been all downhill from there ????

Got some correct rear bumpers and awesome looking rear wings for the MPC/AMT 70-72 GTO.

I absolutely LOVE this build!!! The color, wheels, and attention to detail are superb!

Finally got one of these after missing out on Black Friday.

I’d be down for this, just have to find something with an inline six banger.

Not far from me, I’m over the hill in East Ridge

Sent you an email sir

What has been irking me for about a week now is the fact that for the past 2 years I’ve been telling the higher ups at work that another project manager/qc person was needed in our install department (sign and graphics printing company)and that it needed to be someone who had sign installation experience so they would know what was needed for each job and what to look for. I threw my hat in the ring when I originally suggested it and also when they announced that they were going to be opening up a position. I’ve been here for 5 years and I have around 10 years experience with sign and vinyl installation. Found out last week that they gave it to a guy that has been here for less than two years (that I have trained) and said it’s because “ we have one installer retiring soon and my “skills and experience “ are needed in the install department “ and that the other guy “is a better fit”. Am I irked? Yes…am I being salty about it? Probably so….am I being petty because I refuse to give suggestions or opinions on things anymore? Maybe. But I am definitely highly irked!!

Actually it’s Testors Extreme Bronze lacquer. The wheels came from this kit from Fujimi. I haven’t decided on a color scheme yet though, although I do have an idea for one.

Amazing!!! The detail is absolutely stunning!!

Got second coat of paint on, now to let it dry for a few days before moving on to the next step.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this one!!! And I am definitely NOT disappointed in the least bit!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! You have actually inspired me to do a similar project with a 65 Riviera.

Absolutely beautiful build of an iconic Mopar!!!

Steve, I “skoshed” it down as far as I could and it still have the suspension off the ground ? I do have 3 more of these to build at a later date though so I may put one in the weeds with some larger wheels at some point. Building this one quick to get me out of the rut I’m in. I look at my current projects and I just don’t have the motivation to get back on them, hopefully this will help me.

Got the grille detailed and the first coat of paint on it. Going for a shop truck kind of look. I have it pictured in my head and I hope it turns out like my mind is picturing it.

If I’m not mistaken having owned numerous late70s-early 80s Dodge trucks, the 79-80 had two different grille options. There was my personal favorite,the quad headlight grille and the round headlight grille as well. I believe 79-80 had a different hood as well. 78 was the last year for the “birdbath” hood, 79-80 had a flat hood.

I too noticed the 2wd parts were included in the package. I was originally thinking of maybe picking up one or two, but after seeing that video I’m sure 6 or more will find their way to my stash. The possibilities are endless with this one and the long bed D100, as well as the availability of a resin short bed.

Bought 4 of these at Ollie’s awhile back and decided I needed something to get me out of my building slump. This will be my first curbside build ever. Stance mocked up and looks good to me.

Yeah the headlight rings leave quite a bit to be desired, and that orange plastic ?

Pics now

Beautiful work! That color looks great with the wheels and tires.

WOW!! That dash is a work of art!! The interior is looking amazing and with that color red it will definitely POP!!

Loving this one so far!!! I’ll tag along and maybe I can learn something. Love those hinges!
