  1. Great job on the rear tail lights. Looks way better. Those mopar headers are pretty universal. I’ve used them on many builds. They fit easily in many engine bays.
  2. IIRC, I built mine with the spindles as the instructions suggested. A little high, but a lot of these cars sat up a bit in the front.
  3. BTW, did you find a windshield for the Plymouth/Dodge? I looked, and I have a bunch of Moebius parts, EXCEPT what you are looking for.
  4. What do you mean it doesn’t look too good? You did a very nice job on the build. I think it looks great! Something to be proud of. Just remember, that every build is like practice for your next one.
  5. Very nicely done. Nice big block with a Dominator looks all business. The engine valve covers matches the car perfect.
  6. Fantastic work. The interior pieces look very realistic.
  7. Nice progress, Bill. Looks better slightly lower I think. One thing with these Moebius AWB kits, is, I wish they included two additional halves of the stick transmission version of the engines in the box. Since some were sticks and some autos that were raced. But I get it. The company wants to make money.
  8. Ahhh. I’m on an iPhone. Maybe the computer shows more. Thank you sir.
  9. Amazing work you put into this build. I love it.
  10. Those bodies are lookin real good. I built the white car a while back. Can’t wait to see more progress.
  11. I checked the website. I couldn’t find it on the MCW Finishes site. There is a Model Car World site also, but it deals with mostly 1:18 scale stuff.
  12. I have these decals as well and definitely want to do this build. Sadly, these decals now might be hard to come by as Bruce Sadewater passed away.
  13. MAD, is my “go to” distributor on my Ford and Mopar builds. I have some old Pro Tech distributors that were on a close out sale, that I’ll use on GM engines that are hidden by the air cleaner. They have all the wires coming out of the center of them, as compared to the MAD having them around the perimeter of the cap.
  14. Yes, tires aren’t cheap. Reminds me of the cars I see with rims and tires that were never designed to fit a vehicle, with a maximum amount of negative camber to get them under the fenders.
  15. In PA, we pay $40 plus dollars to check a $10 gas cap.
  16. I know a person that had bought a new truck, and the nice rims and tires that came on it, just weren’t good enough. Now, I understand, anyone can spend their money the way they choose, but don’t buy four rims and tires, and spend a few grand, and then go on FB and complain about gas prices! Some people are NEVER grateful for what they have. They want more more more, and then bitch and moan. I don’t personally know of anyone, that is “struggling” but man when they talk, you think they were very poor. Yet they buy new vehicles, go on several vacations a year, then bitch about the prices or the economy. Don’t make sense to me.
  17. Same thing for dark window tint. Seems the police lost control of enforcing the tint laws. One thing is for sure, almost every time someone is cutting someone off, or just driving like a moron, they seem to have the darkest tint on their vehicle. It’s like a mask, a bank robber would wear.
  18. Very cool build. Go buy a limited, new, car and go run some 9 second ETs.
  19. Looks like a perfect lightweight interior to me. From the buckets to the black floor mat. You did a great job on the details. I wish I could get one or two more of those resin tubs.
  20. The first time I saw a truck like this, I honestly thought that someone really messed up on their math, while figuring out the back spacing, when they ordered their new wheels. Now I see many trucks like this, so I suppose it will be sticking around for a while. It doesn’t look right to my eye at all. Is it even legal to have tires sticking out this far? Maybe it will prevent the truck from rolling over sideways?
  21. This I like a lot. You nailed it. Definitely looks like a LOT more time went into it. You are really moving along with these AWB cars!
  22. Would Bob Smith Industries Gold CA glue be ok on this after the adding the blue? I never had it fog up on clear styrene. Was wondering if this made the windows more prone to fogging up?
  23. I’ve been working on it a bit. I stripped the body and it’s all primed and painted white. I would like to get some Dupicolor Bright Aqua, as it’s a better choice than the blue I painted it. I haven’t been in the mood to mask it all off yet. I don’t like the decals I have. The set I would like to have aren’t around anymore. I’ve been playing with a 66 Nova, but I’ll probably get back on this one soon though.
  24. Kinda like the AMT Pontiac SD. The Moebius versions floor pan and chassis are identical. And if they aren’t, I can’t see any noticeable differences. I’ve actually used parts from both in a build.
  25. Decals and paint look great. It’s nice when a build comes together exactly as planned. Nice job so far.
