Thank. I acquired a few, so I’ll be ok for a while.

Never piss off a guy with a flamethrower.

Nice job on the Interior as it definitely looks like leather to me.

Looking good Bob. Real nice paint color choice. I love all F Bodies. I was recently looking for a 4th gen on eBay but it seems all of them with the Ram Air hood are going for ridiculous prices.

Coming together nicely Ron. Those headers look fantastic.

Those little parts definitely try my eyesight and patience.

I bought this bench mounted sanding wheel, from MicoMark. It became a rest for my visor. It removes plastic pretty quick, and I bought it for sanding down thick wheel backs. Now I rarely use it, and I took it off the bench and it’s in the cabinet. I have a little bit of buyers remorse. I can always clamp it back on if I ever need to use it.

Actually this Lee Smith car I’m working on will be the first to have them.

I finally figured out how to put them on so they look decent. My first couple AWB cars don’t have them. They either broke while cleaning them up, or I just left them off.

Nice job on the engine details. Coming together nicely. I can’t tell from the pics, but did you include those two small injector rods?

Sometimes you can enhance a firewall by simply dry brushing over the details. Maybe try painting the firewall flat or semi gloss black, and dry brushing a silver, or a gloss black over it.

I don’t remember where I saw it, and I may be wrong, but the price is $150. For a curbside kit, IMHO, I think that’s a bit steep.

Nice work Bill. I can see you are enjoying your retirement. These cars are addicting. I can’t seem to get away from doing the Mopars for some reason, but that isn’t really a bad thing. Pretty soon I’ll have as many of these Plymouth and Dodge cars built, that I’ll catch up to all my Thunderbolt cars. I have a build or two on hold, but I’m working on the Lee Smith AWB. I see The Paper Tiger in my future as well.

I agree 200%. A huge turning point for Ozzy.

The thing with Hogan and Osbourne, is they both were household names, and they both were very influential in their profession. Both paved the way, that others can only follow. They say celebrities die in threes, and I suppose this time around it holds to be true. This kind of news always makes me think about my own mortality. Live life to the fullest, and live every day like it could be your last.

I was lucky enough to see him solo, on his No Rest For The Wicked tour. It was at the Philadelphia Spectrum, with Anthrax as an opening act. I went to that show because of Anthrax. I will admit at that time, I was really tired of the same songs over played, and wanted to see Anthrax more than anything. Needless to say, after that show, Ozzy was all new again for me. I’ll never forget the first time I heard Black Sabbath in the 70s scared the heck out of me.

Just found out he passed today, the 22nd. I had a feeling something was up with that last concert in the UK. Mostly all of the music I loved over the years, goes back to that one band. RIP Ozzy Osbourne.

One superb Cuda. A job very well done. The paint looks amazing. Big improvement on those headlights.

Thank you everyone for checking out the build and the kind words.

A couple WIP pics.

I just finished this Moebius Dodge as a weekend bracket racer. Originally, I wanted to use a Hemi, with an inline 2x4 barrels, but couldn’t find a manifold. So I tore the hemi heads off, and added a set of RB heads. Now it’s a stroked out 440. I made this intake out of a resin intake and some styrene sheet. I don’t like it at all, but it’s there to stay. The tires, wheels, and tach, and racing seat are Futurattraction. Roll bar is .080 styrene rod. Dominator, fuel lines and wires, seatbelts, gauges, are ProTech. Distributor and wires are Morgan Auto Detail. I really like these kits, as I have a couple more in looking forward to building.

Thanks for the offer, Bill. I explained everything to him. He’s not really concerned about ultra correct detail. He just wants a GL to display on the shelf. Maybe down the road I’ll eventually build a GL using the Revell 68 & 69 parts.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I have all the information I need now.

Anyone have any opinions on the AMT, or the MPC kits?

Thanks Jim. I saved that article in the link you provided. The build you did looks fantastic. So basically the 69 Revell kits have vinyl roofs, and the 68 is a hardtop? The front grills are basically the same? Was it difficult to fit the 69 taillights into the 68 body?
