1972coronet

So long as the master cylinder is the "Dixiecup" style (i.e. , the single-pot cylinder) , it's right att home on 1966 & earlier vehicles (except for Rambler / AMC ; those had "dual circuit" brakes going back to at least 1963) . The most-recognised master cylinder was mandated for the 1967 model year . Ever see a disc brake master cylinder for : - 1965-1966 Dart / Valiant / Barracuda - 1966 Satellite / Coronet - 1966 Imperial ???? Let me see if I can dig up a slightly off-subject link ... EDIT / ADDENDUM : Check out how the 1965-1966 disc brake m/c looks for Dodge / Plymouth / Chrysler ! http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/TSBs/1966/2-22-66_letter_page3.jpg

I remember reading about that specific Daytona back in the early 90's in Mopar Action ! The story goes that the car was modified from new with numerous then-popular upgrades ( M/T rocker covers , L-88 type hood scoop , etc. ) and wore a psychedellic paint job . After seeing how the car looked as a customised version , I really wish that it was left that way ; it was sweet !! Otis Chandler had this car as part of his collection back in the day .

Nice work so far , Peter ! One suggestion ; the transmission for this vehicle was cast iron . All V8 Torqueflite transmissions (and their lesser-known 2-speed PowerFlite predecessor) were cast iron prior to the 1962 model year. These were known as model numbers "466" ( PowerFlite) and "488" (Torqueflite) . Keep up the great work !

Much improved interior ! The only nit that I can pick is the doorpanels ; in particular , the chromed trim around the "wood" embellishment : woops ! I attached the wrong image originally . Here's the correct image : Here's a little-known option : bench seat ! (photos are courtesy of the Hamtramck Historical site) In-so-far-as your beautiful exhaust rehibilitation ; remember that the mufflers are black on the T/A and AAR models . They were painted black from the factory ; the only cars to have this treatment given to them . Keep up the great work !

That's a super nice Duster 340 , Andy ! Looks like it's painted GY3 ( Curious Yellow [ Plymouth ] ; Citron Yella [ Dodge ] ) . How did you bypass the A/C compressor ?

Not in the versions I have ( "USA Oldies" , and some c.2000 revised-reissue ) . Every one that I've built over the last 25+ years has had flat-faced caps with a semi-raised circle in the centre . I'm not sure if any kit ever had 1968 & earlier Plymouth hubcaps ; nor have I ever seen 1967-1968 Dart hubcaps (and , no , the 1968 Charger hubcaps aren't correct for the same year Dart).

Here's a fairly esoteric film vehicle for your guessing pleasures ...

Your JS23J0B is coming along nicely , Joe ! Beautiful work and craftsmanship ! While I adore the early 1980's Monogram Muscle Car series , their short-comings are numerous ( ) . The lack of shocks is one of the most glaring omissions ; then there's the incorrect air cleaners ( LS-6 Chevelle and 1971 "Satellite" ) ; the 3 blobs which "pass" for the trio of Holley 2300's ; and , my favourite example : the 1971 HemiCuda : - 8 3/4 rear behind a Hemi / 4-speed ?!? - No oil pump nor oil filtre - Aftermarket radio - Zero door panel detail - No shocks ! - Moulded-on and subsized exhaust But, back to your splendid 1970 T/A ... Your attention to detail is exemplery ! Keep up the great work !

Wow , Gene ! You have assemblled an impressive mix of Bow Ties ! Keep up the great work !

I concur ; the 1971-1972 Chevelle / Malibu just looks *cleaner* versus the 1970 model , in my opinion . Love the quad , round tail lamps , too . Years ago , I built a phantom 1972 LS-6 from the AMT 1972 SS-454 (LS-5 only by 1972) . The stock SS wheels included in the kit (vis-a-vis 1970 Z-28 origins , in "1:1" ) , painted in Gunze's Burnt Iron ; Tamiya gloss black ; Krylon semi-flat black interior ; and no stripes . Wish that I had some pics of it ... But , I divulge . That's one gorgeous 1972 convertible SS-454 ! Last year of the A-Body droptops .

I remember seeing those when they were new , on the lot at O'Leary Chrysler-Plymouth-Imperial in Whittier ( Ca. ) . The identifying decal was exactly the same as the 1971-1972 A-body decal ! I always liked the Rampage / Scamp . They looked so neat ! There were a couple of Direct Connection "enhanced" versions around town .

Not necessarily a complete answer to your inquiry ; some --if not all-- "Stock" drag classes require windshield wipers , even if the requisite homologation of 50 factory-assembled vehicles had only one for the driver's side .

That's a gorgeous Blue you have there , Yuri ! The Russian Blue is one of my favourite feline breeds ; British Shorthair is right up there , too .

Plymouth-badged trucks also included the D / W pickups and the Ramcharger (whose Plymouth-specific name escapes me) .

What quote ? You mean the jpg's name ?

I just noticed that ! I wonder what the Parts Pack (!!) is going to include ??? Accompanying wheels ??? I can't wait for that Blazer ! It's been on my list for 30+ years ( I just couldn't bring my-self to purchase the other M.K. issue (nothing against Model King by any means) nor that {{{shivver}}} RC-2 era reissue (and its awful box art !!!)

A Transkit would work for a 1970 Duster : - 1970 grille (the Sharktooth grille was 1971-1972 only) - 1970 upholstery - Carter AVS carburetor - 1970-only stripes However , an all-new plastic kit would be the best bet ( Moebius ? Revell ? )

If the cap is removable , he may as well be certain to make it a correct , assembly line cap ( ) . In 1970 the SAE standard for brake fluid was J1703 , and the caps were stamped as such . Prior to that it was SAE-70 R3. The now-common "SAE DOT 3" stamped caps didn't come along until c.1975 . and not one of the replacement pieces

Yes , and I believe that 1975 was the first year (even though the Matador's first year was 1971) . 1975 1976

Thank you Tye Hippy Dude Brown !

Perhaps my myopic self is missing some-thing ----did Round2 organise a list of their 2015 offerings ?? I recognise that Casey posted some reviews / contents of individual offerings from R-2 in this Car Kit News & Reviews section , but I am yet to see a comprehensive list of the 2015 kits . Round2 hasn't even updated their (wonderful) site yet ; still showcasing 2008-2014 kits only ... Please direct me to a list of R-2's proposals . Merci

1975 Monza ( "H-Special" platform of the Vega ) . Original-issue blue / gold California licence plates ( "M"-series ; M=1975 ) . Don't know what's under its bonnet ; could be an Iron Duke , or a 3.8 litre Chevrolet , or a 262 V8 ; I have no idea ...

Yuri- That is the finest example of a Matador that I can recall ever seeing !!! The colour combination just screams "1976 !!" The 304 / 343 / 360 AMC V8 and its Torque-Command-8 transmission are spot-on , too !! I have the 1975 and 1976 Matador annual kits in my stash ; thanks for the inspiration !

Round2 still has it on their website , albeit under the 2008 Models section . Is this kit discontinued "already" ( yes , I realise that it's now 7 years later ... ) ?? http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/60ford-starliner
