1972coronet

Start the day with a song in your head and it'll drive you crazy by the time you get to bed

Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a song about Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett, Pink Floyd's founder

Thank you kindly for your prompt response, sir. I'm quite looking forward to the hardtop version ! Keep up the great work ?

One of my biggest 'gripes' - and has been for decades - is either the lack of or poorly executed brake master cylinders. Oftentimes, a 1966 & earlier brake master is present, having never been updated from the kits' earlier origins (e.g., MPC 1966 Charger). I believe that this could be remedied when modernising older tooling (i.e., the battery, washer fluid reservoir, etc., etc., are already receiving upgrades/redesigns, so why not add a brake master to that runner ?). Another 'complaint' is incorrect transmission-to-differential (e.g., MPC 1971-1972 Road Runner, et al.). Either create a Dana 60, or a Torqueflite; options of both would be ideal (i.e., 4-speed and auto options). Related to the aforementioned: interior console and/or pedals don't match transmission (e.g., MPC 1971-1976 Duster-Demon-Dart Sport). I also recognise that certain older kits of , say, Chevelle and Camaro have the alternator on the incorrect side of the engine. AFIK, the alternator was swapped to the right side of the engines for 1968 or 1969. Another 'easy' fix on restored/retooled releases. Thanks to one and all for your attention.

Incomprehensibility is the common core which binds to and meshes with today's hiring practises

I have an enquiry for @SteveG: Would it possible to add a correct, 1967 & later brake master cylinder to the pending (?) hardtop version ? I'm going to attempt to whittle one out of the kit's sprue (the brake vacuum booster is fine), but it'd be nice to have a correct one in the kit. Thank You.

Here's a 1968 R/T convertible. Evidence presents the top's tulip panel 'edge' is 'straight' with the top up; markedly different from the Coronet-specific 3D printed top, but exactly like the 3D top for the AMT 1969 GTX: 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Convertible | F221 | Kissimmee 2019 (mecum.com)

It would appear that the Plymouth version is different from the Dodge version -- design change (1968 v. 1969) ? I'll have to research it.

NICE ! That looks like it should work ! Thanks much.

Does anybody know if one of the fledgling resin casters-parts crafters- 3D-printers is/are working on an up-top for the 1968 Coronet Convertible ? I'd be down for one or five of them for certain.

From what I've seen and heard, the '68 'net 'verts are selling like mad. Thus far, I have two copies and am planning on buying more (maybe, just maybe, bashing one with the 1970 Super Bee to make a '70 R/T convertible). I can't wait for the hardtop to come out !

Is Edward Bernays's magnum opus that influential in the scheme of things [?]

That was my first thought as well. Like, "You can please some of the people..." kind of thing. Concurrently, I feel that some of the balking isn't from the stance of "I'm-overlooking-the-strong-points-and-focusing-only-upon-flaws". Now, are there certain further improvements to the original that Round2 et al. would have made ? Certainly. But, I'm not focusing on any of them. I'm enjoying the heck out of this kit, especially since it's drastically improved over the original. And is one-twentieth the price.

[19]90s were the last time I had a full head of hair

Thank you kindly for your response. Certainly I'm not alone in my deep appreciation for this (and other great) kit. You folks really knocked it out of the park here !

That's the one I was trying to remember earlier. Thanks.

Homes - home ownership - are ridiculously expensive in the "Golden" State

I - most of us here - understand the licensing bollocks. Potentially silly enquiry : Is it possible to purposely misspell the lettering ? For example: Pollyglas , Bleu Streak, Speedsway ? Perhaps add 'random' letters/numbers to the decal sheet so that the builder may arrange them "accordingly" ?

I, too, love the inclusion of Cragar GT's; another favourite of mine. Same goes for the separate hood for the custom version(s) -- and that clear scoop is awesome !

I had that film's soundtrack on 8 track in the early 90's.

A couple of times - once around 2008 and once around 2013 - I emailed Revell wherein a requested replacement parts for kits I hadn't purchased, and expressly mentioned that fact, and that I insisted upon buying the parts that I'd needed. One of the kits was the 1969 Dart GTS which I'd purchased on eBay. Its glass was scuffed, and since the 1968 Dart was (and still is) in production, and its glass is exactly the same, I'd figured I'd purchase 'replacement' glass. They sent it to me no charge. Next was the SS hood for the 1969 Nova. I have the (phantom) COPO edition, and wanted to build it as an L78. Again I stressed that I was going to purchase the hood and its faux vents. Same result: I received the parts free-of-charge. But, yes, there certainly are folks who makes claims - false claims - about "missing" or "damaged" parts ( IIRC, the 1966 El Camino and its companion 1966 Malibu Wagon were two of the most common kits with "missing" hoods).
