Excellent build. It’s rare to see an Oldsmobile, especially done up right.

Looking good Bill. Should have it all buttoned up real soon.

Thanks Mike. They are Hemi Race carbs from Fireball Modelworks.

Nice mods. These kits need some help in a few areas. You got one figured out already. Your interior looks fantastic. I have a couple of these B bodies, including a pro street version or two. I have some guides made of card stock, that Ed Flunk was kind enough to make for me. These help get the rear wheel well openings look more correct. Maybe one day I’ll try my hand at creating the “pinched” body lines above the wheels. Here is a pic of an A-12 with only the rear wheel mods.

Been working on this AWB car. Decided to build the “Mule” white car, with red interior. Might not be 100% correct, but finding decent pics of these cars isn’t easy. After this one is complete, I plan on building the Golden Commandos, just like on the box, and possibly the Lee Smith car as well. I most likely won’t get any further than where I am at now, as we are heading to Disney World tomorrow. Not too far away from final assembly though.

Stop the planet! I want to get off!

I’ve been thinking about building the 67 Sox & Martin car. From what I’ve read it was actually a Belvedere RO23. I can order a bench seat from Harts Parts, but besides the door panels, and removing the GTX emblems, what else would I need to perform on this conversion?

I really like the storage drawers down the sides of the bench. That’s a lot of storage area for tools, styrene, and aluminum rods and tubes. Some times a little simplicity does wonders.

Funny that you mentioned this, as I was just discussing a similar topic with my wife. The conversation consisted of how people are most definitely programmed, and pretty much do what they are told. I wouldn’t call it brainwashed, even though we all are brainwashed to a certain extent. When an online shopping site sets a day aside for their customers to log on and shop, and like good, little, obedient shoppers, they obey, and shop. Also, most holidays probably wouldn’t exist, if there was no money to be made. As far as SOME of the dates, they can be a waste of time. I’ve had bread go moldy before the date, and had drinks taste stale while still within the date. Sometimes I wonder why should I trust a corporation just because they put a date on the product? Years ago they didn’t even want consumers to know what ingredients were actually in the product. Frequently the company will take a hit because of the dates expiring before a product sells, and having to give the stores credit. Creating waste. Not trying to be a grumpy old man, but I question things more than ever now.

Been really into the Mopars in my stash, ever since the Moebius Dodge was released. I had the decals, and a bunch of spare parts to build this car, except for a body. I acquired a painted body, that I had to strip. So I put the parts to good use, and finished this up today. I wanted to keep the intake magnesium, and the heads aluminum. I added some Hemi race carbs, and rims from Fireball. The 8.75 rear was from the Hemi Dart kit, grafted to the supplied rear and spring assembly. From the few pics of the real car that I saw, it appears he was not running the single exhaust pipe and muffler. Looks like open headers. So I stole them from one of the AWB kits. I’m really looking forward to building a couple AWB cars real soon.

IMO, Most, but not all food and products have date codes, because the manufacturers know that certain people will think they might become poisoned if they consume it. Hoping that you toss perfectly good food, and go buy more.

Was wondering if the “O” on the Moebius Plymouth AWB hood decal was intentionally left off, or was it a mistake on the decal? The box art shows the “O” is missing on it as well.

No worries. And Thank you.

Thank you. Over all I enjoyed the build. I even ordered another one for a full on drag car. The problem I encountered with the rear glass was it didn’t want to fit in flush no matter what I did to it. I even snapped the original and had to order another from Pegasus Hobbies. It seems to have a “peak” in the top center. The last pic it’s noticeable but maybe the next build will be better.

As always, another finely detailed, and well executed, super stock build. I keep finding you builds in my searches, as I’m into the 65 Plymouths myself, right now.

Not trying to jinx myself or anyone else, but the last few packages my wife and I received in the mail, couldn’t have arrived any faster. A kit I ordered yesterday morning, has already arrived in my state. Should be here tomorrow .

Two days in the Super Clean, and after a scrub with a red scratch pad, the body came out really clean. Minimal clean up around the edges. Just got all the panel lines scribed, and should primer and paint today and tomorrow.

I recently bought one of those and when it arrived, I was surprised to see how small of a sheet it was.

The part #s are in the pictures at the beginning of the thread.

Thank you all for the replies. I’d like to build the car just as it looked when raced. I’ll add the Satellite trim, and just add a PE Belvedere emblem. Also adding two rear bumper guards as well. I’ve got the rolling chassis completed, just have to get the body started now.

This Tasca Thunderbolt has it’s molded plastic polished.

Yea, pretty much what the person said in the review. I would think a peg board, with properly sized wooden dowels, or a peg board slightly drilled out to accommodate a certain dowel size might work. Or a peg board might be a little too large? The Dodge is coming along great by the way.

Gotcha. Makes sense to me now. I’ve seen many with Satellite, or just with nothing at all on the trim. After searching Belvedere II, a bunch more pics came up. This one has the script below the actual trim. I’m still learning about Mopar everyday. Thanks Ron

I hope a person with Mopar knowledge can shed some light. Working on Grumps Black Arrow, and I’m confused about the rear trim by the license plate area. I haven’t found many pics of this car, but this one of the rear shot, has the trim. Can’t really make out the words on the passenger side of it. In the Moebius kit, the trim is there but with “ Satellite”. Did this car ever have the trim, with “Belvedere” on it? Or was it blank? Would I be correct to add some PE Belvedere to it, or leave it blank? Thanks for any input guys.
