1972coronet

That's a super Super Bee ! It looks great , especially for its age ; I have nothing in my collection that's more than 10-12 years old . Here's a classic scene from Christine , with one of my favourite actors : Harry Dean Stanton . "Where did you find the paint for this car ? It's 20 years old ; it's obsolete ..."

Túlio , welcome to the MoPar Club ! Ha ha ha ... just Putin you on ... Seriously ; you are doing a splendid job with this "challenging " kit . I cannot wait to see how it comes out ! As to the primer colour that was utilised by Chrysler during the 'classic era' : it was subjective to the assembly plant . I've seen : - Grey - Black ( typically , Los Angeles plant used black from a local supplier ) - Greenish Zinc Oxide ( St. Louis , at least during its first year or so of operations ) And , you're correct ; these cars did rust in short order ! Another issue was the torsion bars ; their hardening wasn't up to snuff early on , so they'd snap like twigs !

Jürgen , die A100 Pickup Truck von dir ist das beste Beispiel dafür, dass ich in einiger Zeit ! Es sieht aus wie eine, die war in der Stadt, wo ich aufgewachsen bin und einen Fernseher Schlosser's Truck (und seine Telefonnummer von " (213) Oxbow-36700 " ). Sehr schöne Verarbeitung! ( I hope that this English-to-German translation is proper . I utilised one of the translation sites .)

I'm contemplating making a pair of "plain-but-custom" door panels for my build of this kit . The haphazard , moulded-in "door panels" are thee sore point of an otherwise excellent kit ... ... whose origins date to c.1962 !

The one that I ordered from Model Roundup shipped today . Should be here within 7-10 days ...

AMT 1971 Duster 340 : - Corrections to its glass (especially the windshield and backlight !) - Different pulley arrangements ( non-A/C , A/C with power steering , non-A/C with power steering) - Torqueflite - Headers - Side Pipes - Period correct custom wheels and tyres MPC 1971 Road Runner : - Add the 1972 R.R. parts , effectively making the kit a two-in-one ! - Backdate the wheels to the original's Cragar S/S - Full compliment of decals - Instructions on bahing / interfacing the old MPC tooling with the relatively-new AMT 1971 Charger

My word , that's a beauty !! 413 RB with the cast iron A-488 Torqueflite ...

You're thinking of the 1972 Demon 340 (and "Sizzler") scoops . Not sure if one of the resin casters makes one or not ... Perhaps Hart's Parts or Missing Link or Competition Resins ?

A few which I strongly desire : 1973 Duster , MPC : 1968 Coronet MPC : ...and Sven's excellent build of this kit : 1955 Nomad , 1/16 , AMT :

The one I ordered from Model Roundup is on its way soon ! Here's some inspiration for practically any 1953 - 1956 F-100 :

Jim , at the risk of hijacking your thread ; have you had the chance to read Marty Schorr's excellent book about Motion ?

Is it just me , or do those valve covers look more like Nash 287 / 327 items ??

I've not seen a Motion car with PCV in the rocker covers ! Typically 2 breathers , but not PCV . CCV / PCV is , in my mind , a prerequisite for an engine which sees regular street use ... (same goes for vacuum advance for the distributor !)

My condolences to the Chism family and friends .

I would like to see : - Renault R5 in street livery - BMW 6-Series Alpine or Baveria [sp] (European-only models) Tamiya produced the R5 some years ago , but it was a Rallye-only version . It was either Gunze or some other Japanese modeller whom made the 6-Series Alpine ; however , I have zero idea about the kit's contents .

I , too , am quite looking forward to the 1957 Ford Wagon and its hopeful Ranchero . Truthishly , a 1958-1959 Ford Fairlane , wagon , and-or Ranchero would be my favourite ...

T-Top deal is optional . On my copy of this reissue , I did not recognise any bleed-through of the lines . It's a total non-issue .

I realise that . I was just hoping beyond hope that R-M would cast up some 2WD parts for it ... or at least some new wheels and tyres .

This bad boy with 2-wheel-drive parts and plain wheels / hub caps = me buying at least one !

It's a homologated version of Renault's rallye car . Mid-mount turbo engine and mean as hades ! Its R5 Le Car origins are merely a formality : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_5_Turbo

I've always found the 1994 - 1998 Mustang to be rather female-inspired . Practically every gal I knew --dates , friends-- all loved that "sexy new Mustang" . I found it to be so bland ! Well , at least FoMoCo did well with their SN95 platform ... ... V6 powered not withstanding ( ) The overall package was an improvement versus the Fox Body (which I adore , by the way) , but its shell was too rounded ! By the 1999 model , and the more sculpted body features , all was good again . Most non-classic VW's ( i.e. , Jetta , Passat , 1998-present Bug , Cabriolet , etc. ) are "XX" chromosome favourites . Could the 1969 Hurst AMX be considered a "Girl's Car" ? One Shirley The Drag-On Lady Shahan piloted one quite successfully in Super Stock from 1969-1970

Le Car en steroids : R5 Turbo !

Happy Hallowe'en ! Feliz Dia de los Santos ! It's the Zenta New Year ! Recognise Samhain ! Post some songs here which are related to the macabre , the celebration of life , and all other related to 31st Oct - 1st Nov !

An all-new tooling would be the best route , as that dinosaur-age MPC tooling is soooooooo worn out (not to mention its incorrect 8.75" rear with the Hemi / 4 speed , and just a general lack of details...). 1970 was the first year that the Charger could be had with a true bench seat , too . Would be nice to see a newly-tooled '70 XP29 or XS29 with seating options ... and a sun roof !
