So what does Okey actually own if it's the not the rights to Johan? He bought the remains of Johan , but that did not include the rights to the Johan name? How is he able to sell Johan parts without ownerships of the Johan name? Was it a deal where he just bought a bunch of parts and is just reselling them like a vendor at a swap meet? This is the piece of the puzzle that is missing.

Not Monogram; I beleive Salvinos will be doing a Superbird, but Nascar version. A while back they showed the 3D file renderings.

Since we have the re-released MPC 68 Coronet kit is there anyone casting/3D printing a correct plain front grill and taillight panel to turn the 68 Coronet R/T into a 68 Superbee?

Just realized my mistake. I saw on the margin "Resin Wish List" but did not note it was a the truck section. Thanks for pointing that out.

This is the correct section. Hopefully someone comes out with the correct front grill and tail panel parts to turn the MPC 68 Coronet into a Superbee.

Since the MPC 68 Coronet R/T kit has been re released. How about a correct plain front grill and tail panel to a do 68 Superbee?

Is this when the distributers start receiving the kits or when the kits arrive in the U.S.?

Will Moebius be doing any other versions of the 65 awb Coronet kit ie; Grand Spaulding Dodge, Dick Landy, Hodges Dodges, etc?

Anyone know how many 65 Coronet awb kits Moebius will be producing?

Considering that the awb 63 Tempest has been reissued; my gut feeling is that we will be seeing the 63 Tempest in stock form in the future. Chances are we will see it in the form as an AMT Craftsman kit like the recently released Chevelle and 64 Olds Cutlass kits.

I wonder if HPI Guy has built the long awaited Moebius 65 Coronet AWB car?

Adding more predictions for 2025: MPC Mission Impossible 69 Coronet convertible MPC 69 Coronet hardtop kit MPC 72/73 Dodge pickup MPC 68 Hurst Hemi Under Glass kit

All three kits will be coming out.

As someone stated previously, don't put any laquer paint over enamel. Laquer paint has solvents that will attack the enamel base and lift it. Do a laquer base, then topcoat with a clear enamel. The enamel will not attack and lift the laquer base.

The 67 Galaxie would do well. Steve G stated on one of the recent topics that more builders have been requesting 67 Galaxie kit over other subjects. Who knows how it will play out. For all we know it's probably under developement as we speak.

JB Weld will not hold. You need to get someone to tig weld that back on or as stated by someone else, get another case. Rock Auto has no Datsun listing but there is Nissan which owns Datsun. Here is a link for alternators if that helps. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1971,521+pickup,1.6l+l4,1212321,electrical,alternator+/+generator,2412

Can someone going to the NNL East today take a wide shot of the Round 2 display table. Also, maybe one of the Round 2 people may know if the AMT 67 Galaxie is in the works for a future release.

Hopefully pics will be posted shortly.

Thanks for offering. The front bench seat from the AMT Supernatural 67 Impala kit is the one I am looking for.

Where is this at?

Thanks for mentioning about the NNL East. I forgot that is happening this month.

My gut feelings are that we will see an announcement of the AMT 67 Galaxie this summer or in the fall for a release in 2025. Also, next year the 68 Dodge Coronet Feverbee, then announcements of the MPC 69 Coronets. Other possibilities: MPC 71 Cyclone, AMT 66 Comet, MPC 72-73 Dodge trucks, a correct 68 or 69 Hemi Underglass wheel stander. These are just guesses and speculation.

Here is an update on the new Coronet parts for use with the original 68 body. The front and rear bumpers fit nicely. Just need to grind off the locating pins on the back sides. The front grill will fit by grinding down the headlight bulges on the backside of the grill. The tailight lenses will fit, just need to hollow out the bezel holes a small amount. The back glass actually fits better on the original Coronet body than it does on the new Coronet body. So far, looks like good news for builders that need parts for the old original first release 68 Coronet.

Got my 68 hardtop kits today. I tried fitting the chassis and interior tub from the new kit into an original MPC 68 Coronet body and it fits pretty good. Someone here mentioned that the front windshield does not fit in the original body. I tried fitting the windshield and it does fit . However the vent windows don't meet with the vent window frames. There is a about 1/16th inch space between the new windshield vent windows and the old body vent window frame. Looks like two options that can work; heat up the vent windows on the new part and bend them out a little or cut the vent windows from the new glass and glue them onto the vent window frames on the old body. Not a big problem, I think it's a pretty minor. I'll give more updates on other new parts that can be used on the old bodies.

Does anyone have a front bench seat they don't need from the AMT Supernatural 67 Impala kit? I'm looking for one. Thanks George Petrillo
