If anyone isn't using the Fender well headers from the Moebius 65 Nova Gasser, I would be interested in buying or trading for some. I am interested in as many sets of them as I can get. I am building 2 1:1 Novas with fenderwell headers and would like to gather some extra sets for replicas.

great build! and great detail.

So yeah that's an issue with time and cost. Rubber resin is really expensive, I could do 1:12 and 1:16 scale tires but price wise I am not sure how feasible it would be, and another caveat would be I wouldn't do drag radials at that size. People complain about $30 a set for 1:24 drag wheels, 1:12 is 8 times the volume of 1:24 so there's that.
Makes sense. The wheels/tires I was after are the Drag Lites with Drag radials. Thanks for the reply.

Ive noticed that the wheels/tires are not available in 1:12 scale. Id really like to order a set for my 12th scale 2010 Shelby.
Also I just ordered a 12th scale Boss 302 twin turbo and cannot wait for it to get here; after seeing the quality of parts in this thread I am super excited.

Wasn't going to post until I got it in clear...... but I haven't had time when its been the right temp to clear. Bedlam creations knocked the decals out of the park for me.

No need. The kit comes with the required mounting plates...
I dont quite like the shape of the ones included. Based on the 2 1:1 subframe kits that I have I shaped mine after them.
I will have updates soon, body is foiled and my Custom decals have arrived.

Great build! I really like it without the Ttops and spoiler. I am about to toss together a ratty 1:1 80 Camaro Berlinetta.... no spoiler, no ttop, Airshocks and some steam rollers out back with some serious rake.

The things I would do for a set of those wheels lol. I have some super deep 15x10s and 14x6 on my 1:1 70 Monte Carlo " Flirtin' with disaster". By far my favorite wheel.

LEX hood seem to be hit and miss. I have about 25 of them and most are warped beyond repair or ill fitting. Guys say that in the last while the quality is better, whereas mine are from 4-5 years ago.

Anyone have experience with Gravity USA? I placed an order a month and a half ago.... no communication no tracking etc; After no replies to emails and guys on facebook groups saying they have had problems, I started a claim with Paypal, they escalated and opened a file and Gravity promptly gave them tracking info.... Paypal closed the file and for the last week the tracking has said " label printed, waiting for pickup" so it looks like im in for another long wait.
Im in Canada and no-one offers the colors that I wanted, and if they did shipping was 4x as much as the product. I know that elm street hobbies in the Maritimes is a ScaleFinishes distributor but they never have any product and Ive never gotten a reply when I ask to special order anything.

WOW! Incredible work on the wheels. Keystones are my Favorite wheel by far. Got a set of 14x6 and 15x10s on my 70 Monte "Flirtin' with Disaster"

Once again minimal progress.... I've been out in the shop working on my 1:1 63 Nova hardtop and 65 Parisienne.....so i've been neglecting the model subjects.
I like the kit wheels however they are not deep enough for the obnoxious stance/tires that I am using. So I got some wheels that I didn't like anyways from the 72 Challenger kit ( molded in yellow) and took the barrels off them, sanded down the top edge of the kit wheels and mated them together inside some Fireball Modelworks N50-15s. I absolutely love the look.

Looking great! love the dash in these cars, the triple gauge is cool as heck. Im currently building a 1:1 65 Parisienne ( basically a Canadian Bonneville/Catalina)
-
A bit more progress..... Not much.... but a bit
I finished the mounts for the leaf springs, still waiting on my etch bolt heads to come in ......
I sprayed the interior panels with a deep red, and added foil to the panels to look like aluminum. I also got some machined tachs ( and other parts) from Brazil..... quality is great.

Shapeways keeps changing the names of their materials, but I do believe that "White Natural Versatile Plastic" is in fact Nylon. The prints are very porous and paint/glues will not adhere very well to Nylon.
More workable are resins like "Ultra Detail" and "Extreme Detail" (used to be called FUD and FXD).
I use CA glue ( like zapagap) and have been using Shapeways items for years now without an issue. I use cardboard nail files from the dollar store to sand also.....

AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalrighty.... back from page 5 with some Minor updates. Mostly stuff that nobody will even notice. Having a 1:1 63 Nova with an aftermarket front subframe (Heidts) .... not the one pictured but similar. I couldn't just mount the support tubes to the firewall without proper mounting plates. So I shaped some out of flat styrene and am now waiting for my etch bolt heads to arrive. I've also been messing with headers and have had no luck with big block fenderwell headers ( looking for a set from the Monogram Spirit of 57 Gasser kit) so I found these 3d headers I had laying around..... which may work with a bit of modification. I am going to dump them right at the toe board anyways so I wont need to worry about exhaust at all.

Sorry, but the Chinese that cut the tooling aren't to blame. Someone from Moebius had to approve this mess. They botch kits over and over. People make excuses, blame the Chinese and buy them anyway. As long as this process continues, there's no reason for them to do better. Until they do, I'll vote with my wallet and suggest that everyone that cares about accuracy do the same. When a kit company can't even get a gas cap on straight, they have some serious issues!
As someone who owns currently around 45 62-65 Nova and Acadian 1:1s.... id venture a guess that none of them have a straight gas cap. My 63 Hardtop has new quarters and the way the fill tube is...... the cap is slightly crooked..

Great start! Love that flaky paint you chose.
Question: what are the extra ‘goodies’ that come with this kit? I don’t recall seeing mention of option parts for this specific kit (and mine didn’t arrive yet…)
Good start, I’ll be following!
9 hours ago, ZTony8 said:There's a list printed on the instruction sheet of most, but not all, of the extra parts.
I'm gonna be completely honest.... I haven't looked at an instruction sheet for about 15 years. Nor did I look at the extras, I had a build in mind and just pulled out what I needed; That being said.... Mine will have all kinds of extra goodies since I've used very little from the box, lol

Its, Its..... a Ballroom Blitz! Custom decals should be done soon "Ballroom Blitz" seems fitting.... song about getting rowdy. The 427 4speed went together well, and is right at home.
Paint went down today, heavy silver flake. no clear yet.

I have to get one!
Can't find any in Winnipeg. Where is the most reasonably priced place to order from in Canada?
from what I can see , nobody in Canada has them yet. I had one sent up from MonstersInMotion in the states, while I wait for mine at the local hobby shop..... owner tells me early april.

Gorgeous duo! I wonder if Moebius will eventually offer a Mark IV for a variation of this kit?
BTW, what's the 'scoop' on that 1/12 scale '69 Zed in the background?
The 1/12 has the same Grump Lump scoop haha. It's my favorite. Street Machine build, all 3d printed details, vinyl top. Not decided on color yet but the top will be white.

I managed to find a set of MAS aluminum valve covers in my storage area. I am quite happy with how the big block fits and looks. Ive been playing with stance and think i've got it figured out now. I will not be running the rear wheels, they are just for mock up purposes. I will however be using the tires. I need to shave the engine mounts a tiny bit more, so that the valve covers clear the hood.

Clearly Scale resin items, looking for...
in Wanted!
Posted
I am looking for Clearly Scale items that anyone might have that they haven't used. I am mostly after Challenger parts ( not hellcat conversions, I already have a couple) , spoilers, chin spoilers, seats etc. Will look at all engine kits and upgrades. I have a HUGE stock of aftermarket and kits to trade, or will make other arrangements.
