That kit has the 426 Ramcharger (wedge), no?

The 426 Hemi -- race-only applications until the '66 model year -- premiered in mid-1964, replacing the 426-W (Wedge). The Lindberg Dodge & Plymouth Super Stock kits were available with the "generic" (i.e., could represent a B or RB engine) 383 & 413/426W engines as well, with the 426 Hemi in some other kits (as witnessed by your photos). Fenderwell headers were the only set available for them, both wedge and hemi , in these kits (I could be wrong -- I only have the Dodge 330, which is stock only; 383 four barrel). Same with the Johan '64 S/S (which I also have). I'm going to dig for my copies of the Revell 1968 SS/EA Landy's Dart 440, and pirate the underchassis headers from one of them. Their presence is unusual, as underchassis headers for big blocks Darts & Barracudas (1964-1966; 1967-1969) were seldom seen or used (the first 383-powered 1967 Dart that was built by Mr. Norms chief wrench in late 1966 was equipped with underchassis headers from Iggy's Mufflers) . That's why I thought that Revell's inclusion of them in Landy's 440-powered SS/EA Dart was unusual... the 1:1 used fenderwell headers. Thanks for the info and for the photos!

Maybe you (or any one for this matter) can spray a light coat of matte clear over the area where the recesses are before applying the panel line wash. The matte clear would act like a primer coat, keeping the wash level by grabbing it before it gets the chance to hide in the corners. I did this on the grille of the AMT 1965 AWB Nova, and it worked like a charm.

Another vote for Tamiya Panel Line Accent.

Now I think about, I have two of the Landy 1968 SS/EA Dart kits, which have underchassis, long tube headers. Thanks for popping a memory capsule!

Sounds like another good source. Are those kits' headers of the fenderwell verity or underchassis?

Thanks for the image. I've had me eye on those, and the long tube headers from the AMT 1967 Chevelle Pro Street. I'm also considering two Holley Dominators from Fireball for this project, as the Monogram carbs are little more than flatbread blobs.

That's a probability. Port-spacing is darned close; maybe from the AMT 1966 L-79 Nova(?)

Does anyone make resin (or even metal) headers for a 1/24 scale (e.g., Monogram's classic scale) Chrysler B/RB engines? Any close-enough samples in styrene? Perhaps a Mark IV Chevrolet? I'd like a pair for the 1971 Satellite-Road Runner-GTX, but lack the skills to roll my own. Please provide link(s) and/or kits in your replies. Thanks!

Thanks much! I'm keen on shades of gold, especially when it's a period-correct shade; lots of gold Chevy II's around back then (me mum had a '63 two door sedan with the 4 cylinder and its only options were an AM radio and a heater. She bought it new in spring '63 when she moved here to California). The finish is more impressive in person. I really like Tamiya's Pearl Clear, as it has just the right amount of 'pearl' in it; not overdone like Testors "equal" was.

Thanks much!

The 1968 Fury I Pursuit would be slick. T'hell with Stugotless (or whatever their name is) -- just leave any and all Plymouth names off of marketing. Broom handle to a hornets' nest: the issued-under-Testors-branding 1970 Pro Stock Barracuda, 1970-ish Olds 4-4-2, 1970 AMX, and 1969 S/C Rambler tooling?

Those 1975-1980 two-way cat cons were restrictive garbage. A straight pipe plunged-through the 'converter will get a visual-pass on I/M smog inspections ?

Thanks much! The tyres turned out better than I'd expected. Yes sir! I love your preserve/resto works quite a bit -- the orange one was my impetus for completing this long-forgotten build. Thanks much!

'ere's me AMT Rat Packer . Started this thing some 15 or 16 years ago: prepped and painted the body, then for whatever reason, lost interest. After seeing @Snake45restored , vintage orange coupe, and the copies of the new Moebius '64 SS & '65 Gasser, I hadda drag this khazi out and finish 'er off. BODY : Tamiya Gold (aerosol) over el cheapo grey primer (likely c.2005 WalMart stuff) , followed by Tamiya Clear Pearl, and topped with Testors Gloss Clear Enamel. Molotow for most of the brightwork; silver Sharpie for the tail panel, with gold Sharpie for some of the rear trim. Tamiya Black Panel Accent in door panel lines, trunk lines, cowl vents, and around emblems. INTERIOR: 100% kit items. Colour is Tamiya Sky (a military flat green) with flat red roll bar, gold Sharpie shifter handle; Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black tiller and column. Tamiya Black Panel Accents around gauge clustre, "Oh, S--t !" handle, and junctions of door cards-to-floor. FRAME & CHASSIS: Sage Green craft paint over a light coat of Tamiya primer; Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black frame rails and bars. Chrome and brightwork is kit plating, highlighted with panel wash in grille recesses. Pearl white on back-up lamps and head lamps; Testors Turn Signal Amber Metallic (acrylic) for front signals; red Sharpie for outboard rear lamps. Kit tyres painted Tamiya 'Rubber: Black' aerosol. When dry, the treads/ slicks were sanded with a coarse file board, then Tamiya Black Accent and the same's Dark Grey Accent were brushed on the 'road-side', which permitted a very convincing appearance. Hood scoop is the only non-OOB item. I didn't like how the injector stacks looked, so I modified the scoop from the Bruce Larson 1974 Vega USA 1 kit (basically, I sanded the bottom of the scoop until it fit the Nova's bonnet properly), painted it Tamiya Sky to match the interior, and, yeah. Left off the goofy headers. Too big for this kit's already cartoonish appearance. Without further ado, here 'tis. Critiques, accolades, and ad hom. attcks encouraged.

According to this 1976 brochure, the 454 came with dual exhaust (likely a 2-into-1-into-2 setup): The Old Car Manual Project Brochure Collection (oldcarbrochures.org)

Das ist güd! C'est fantastique! Great werk on that Buick!

Thanks much for clarifying that for me -- I obviously overlooked that part.

I had this idea (certainly, I'm not alone in that), and had suggested it in one of the threads. My skill level isn't the highest; my tools, minimal. It'll be a while before I get to any bashing of the two as you've done here --- needa work on me chops. How well --if at all-- does the AMT interior tun fit-upon the Moebius chassis? Thanks.

IIRC, that iteration has the stock GT/GTA upholstery and door cards.

I believe that the MPC 1969 Barracuda has a separate console with shifter (unlike the 1969 Hurst/Olds). It's a vintage 1968 piece, too, dating to the 1968 annual (back when the MPC Barracuda had a 225/auto with Hemi/auto as the option). I'd dig through my copy, but it's buried deep in my stash.

Any plans for a Hurst Dual-Gate? I'm liking what I'm seeing!

Both are FE engines, no? I've never had me hands on the Revell Thunderbolt; I have seen the contents of the AMT GT/GT-A.

Your 'Vette Roadster is coming along quite nicely, Mike. That engine looks great! @Snake45sent me a spare Mark IV tri-power setup -- eventually it'll end up atop the 427 in the Revell '69 COPO (maybe the modified-reissue SS-396 that's due out soon). But, I digress... Too bad about the colour coats. Such an awesome colour, too. Keep up the great work!

Even the 360/390? Maybe I'm thinking of the 70's 360 -- I've seen a 1976 360 four barrel intake, complete with a 'D6--' Ford part number in its casting.
