  1. 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.
  2. 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)
  3. It would appear that the Plymouth version is different from the Dodge version -- design change (1968 v. 1969) ? I'll have to research it.
  4. NICE ! That looks like it should work ! Thanks much.
  5. Duplicate Post - Please DELETE
  6. 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.
  7. Left to its own devices, the feral former cable news host will tear-through the dumpster outside of Tony Roma's
  8. A dollar is the denomination that the senior citizen handed to me when I was 4 years old because I held-open the entrance door for him
  9. 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 !
  10. Is Edward Bernays's magnum opus that influential in the scheme of things [?]
  11. 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.
  12. [19]90s were the last time I had a full head of hair
  13. 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 !
  14. That's the one I was trying to remember earlier. Thanks.
  15. Homes - home ownership - are ridiculously expensive in the "Golden" State
  16. 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" ?
  17. 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 !
  18. I had that film's soundtrack on 8 track in the early 90's.
  19. 'Astonished face emoji reacts to disappointed toddler', film at eleven
  20. 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).
  21. Precisely as you've proposed: member donations (KLON in Long Beach for an instance). Too bad that there aren't any Rock stations which sustain from donations, etc. They're all commercial, Top 40 tripe (e.g., Disney owns them via whatever slush organisation) with zero imagination; "Simulcast" bollocks.
  22. Side Bar: That's from one of my all time favourite albums ! Mike Pinder narrating a poem written by... Lodge? Hayward? I can't recall.
  23. Thanks for your response and for the link. IIRC, there's a free-form station which broadcasts out of NYC, though I don't recall its call letters (no, 'Murray The K' isn't involved). However, I've only read about its existence, and had heard tales of it. Out here in the Los Angeles area there was at least one 'Pirate Radio' station which turned "legitimate" by c.1972: KLOS (long gone). Older friends and older relatives used to talk about KLOS (and, later, KMET, also long gone) and how it was broadcast from off-shore; how they'd play entire albums, etc., etc. Again, before my time (not by much, admittedly).
  24. I have a de facto bootleg of The Stooges Raw Power album (1973) which is titled Rough Power (1995). It's almost entirely composed of a WABX broadcast from late 1972 wherein rough edits of the pending Raw Power were brought into the WABX studio by Iggy Pop. Total free-form broadcasting -- a tradition carried on by the fledgling college radio stations ("Lightbulb" stations, et alia). Likewise, I recall a time when I was quite young when stations broadcast in both Amplitude Modulation [AM] and Frequency Modulation [FM]. The only commercial-free station left that I can think of is KLON out of Long Beach (CSLB); a Jazz station which also plays Blues on weekends.
  25. Thanks much for your well composed response. The excerpt is from factory literature for the 1969 Dart; here's the link to the original document :
