1972coronet

I'm at the point of readying the interior parts for paint , and am at an impasse : what colours were available for the 1969 Nova Super Sport ? I'm trying to avoid the typical black ; was white an option ? What accents were available (e.g. , blue carpet , dash , console , headliner , etc.) ? The body is painted Pontiac Engine Silver-Blue Metallic ( I've always loved that colour ! ) . Any comprehensive links / images are appreciated !

My mistake . I meant to say "fenders" .

Two words regarding police vehicles --and vehicles in general-- in California , 1975 & later : Jerry Brown .

How about Motor Wheels Spyders ? Those look great on every-thing !

Opening scenes ; excerpt from the Figuroa Street Tunnels on the Arroyo Seco Parkway ( originally California State Highway 11 / US Highway 66 ) .

The 1980-only square headlights . This grille was shared with the M-body Diplomat . The weakest point of the 1980 "Road Runner" was its 318 engine (the 360 was a 4-door only option in 1980) . That rip-snortin' 'teen put out a tyre tread peeling 120 hp ! I can't wait for this kit to come out . I bought the Fuzz Duster kit from eBay a few years back , and have been apprehensive about building it until my skills improved .

Even if the engine was a 'correct' LA engine , I'd still dump it . MPC's 'generic' 273-318-340-360 is un undersized piece of junk , whose appearance is more like that of a 3.9 litre V6 ! Okay , to be fair , at least the 1977-1980 Volare kits' LA engines looked better than their predecessors : correct air cleaner assembly , 727 transmission , and just better proportions . If one is going to swap engines --and they wish to display their van's engine-- then why not go all-the-way and pop the AMT 1971 Charger R/T 440 Mag / TorqueFlite in there ? Yeah , I know that 1978 was th last year for the B/RB series , but that's of no consequence in a customised vehicle .

I'm plesantly surprised to see the 1980 Volare back ! I've been putting off building the one I bought off eBay a few years ago ; need to re-hone my skills first ! Let's hope that those dreaded plastic tyres from that original (and all of the 1977-1980 Volare kits) was saddled with are gone ! Perhaps a new set of pad printed tyres find their way into that kit (i.e. , not the Polyglas versions , as those were all but gone from production cars by 1978) . Pinto wagon , too ! Awesome !

I am in love with this Valiant , Kevin ! The work you are performing is incredible ! Not to put the carriage before the horse here , but when the time comes to paint the car body , the colour code is "FE5" . Now , here is another great site for invaluable information in regard to any-thing Chrysler related : Hamtramck Historical http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/library.shtml

I listened religiously to Howard Stern ever since his programme came to L.A. vis-a-vis the now-defunct KLXS 97.1 ! I just about lost control of my bladder when Andrew 'Dice' Clay was a guest (c.1991) ! I couldn't stop laughing ! I haven't heard his show in over 13 years now . When I moved to "Chorizo Valley" ( the dreaded Inland Empire ) , I couldn't get reception of L.A. stations here . I'd venture to say that the high water mark of his show was the mid-late 90's . Once Jackie 'The Joke Man' Martling split , the show suffered to an extent .

I'm going to go slightly off-topic here ; wasn't some-one working on a 1972-1974 conversion kit for the Revell 1970 Hemi'Cuda ?

Chief Joesph is a member here . Excellent products ! Here's the direct link to his page :http://www.fireballmodels.info/

Nice R.R. ! Truthfully , I'm even more interested in your feline companions ( ) . One of them looks like a Bengal !

I'm right there with you . Glad that you enjoyed the pic .

Found this cool ride on FaceBook . It's "Bob Mackey's '57 Ford from 1965." Enjoy !

Basically , any-thing from the original , 1972 release (disc 1 on the compact disc release) of Nuggets .

It was a valiant effort , but there were no winners in that duel . Even David Mann had to find his way out of the Santa Clarity Valley at sundown (and make a toll call from the 805 area code [relatively-new at that time area code] after walking for untold miles) .

Excellent ! Reminds me of the kind of things that I saw when I was visiting family in NYC in 1989 (during its early stages of "clean up" ... for better or worse) . Super job on the Graf ; very aunthentic , down to the "buffed-and-recapped" backdrop .

Excellent work ! I am most impressed with your Valiant (VL41C1E) conversion . Any plans to have it cast in resin (please) ??

Beautiful , stunning "What If?" build , Paul ! Like every-one else , I am impressed with that paint and the technique you've employed ! WOW ! Keep up the great work , man !

Thanks for the link ! That's what I am looking for : a street version . Le Car was a different animal here in the U.S. : an emasculated R5 (yes , I am aware that the opposite is the case). Good to know !
