Yes, FireballModelworks makes resin door handles, they are really nice.

The kit is great so far. I hadn`t even considered buying it until I saw another member here ( Freakshow12) with his at a local contest, I immediately had to have it.... and Honestly Id like to get 2-3 more as Ive got more ideas. Everything seems to fit really nicely.

IM really leaning towards the white tail stripe. Do you have a picture of an f8 Charger with red stripe? ive never seen it.

I don't often build Mopar stuff, and Ive NEVER built stock, or close to stock; However Lately i've really been wanting to do a Factory Stock/ Dealer Delivered build. Ive always liked the oddball colors and color combinations, so F8 Dark Green ( F8 Ivy) with a matching interior seemed like a good combo. I started by removing all seams and mold lines, as well as the trademark script from the fuel tank. Ive done allot of research and read allot of material as well as talked with the Mopar guys. The body was sprayed with Scale Finishes Dodge F8 over black primer as the 1:1 would have been, and the Chassis was done in grey primer and then over-sprayed (the over-spray is a bit much but it will work). I could not find a proper green flocking or suitable embossing powder locally, however I found some scale diorama "grass" at Micheals, which worked out quite well. The interior was sprayed with the same Scale Finshed F8 but mixed with a bit of flat clear to simulate the vinyl and then the plastics on the seats, door panels, console and dash as well as the rear package tray were painted with a similar olive green. Reference pictures are quite limited for F8 cars I am finding. The engine will be done up totally stock also using Carter AFB carbs from Fireball Modelworks and a correct rounded air cleaner as the kit supplied one is too square and lacks detail. I have also ordered Fireball 15" Ralleye wheels to use with my f60-15 Poly Glas GT parts pack tires as 70 was the first year of the optional Ralleye`s and 15" tires for Hemi cars.. I will update as I have time to work on it more. Any comments and criticisms, pointers etc. are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks. Yes I am going with the optional 15" and I managed to track down some parts pack f60-15s locally. I ordered the Rallys from Fireball also.

Anyone have a source for an aftermarket 1970 Hemi Air Cleaner? something more detailed than the Revell 70 Charger kit.... its too square and just a chrome lump. Any leads are much appreciated.

I'm mainly looking to have it as close to stock as possible. Our local contest has a Dealer Delivered category and I decided to challenge myself to build a car for that category; Generally I build day 2, or modified street machine style builds.

I do have a pack of the Redline f60-15s and most of the pictures of 70 Hemis that Ive found have redlines. I like the fireball modelworks ralleye`s only because the trim ring is separate so you can easily paint the center Argent, and have the rings chromed.

love this build! great job.

I cleaned out the Micheals in Prince Albert Saskatchewan last week.... had a 55% off coupon, went in and out about 10 times and got all the Hurst Cutlass, Starsky and hutch, 32 ford, 77 trans am, and 69 Nova kits that they had in stock.

Kit carbs are plastic blobs, and the wheels leave allot to be desired.... 70 was the first year of the optional Ralleye wheel, so I had to order them , as I hate the Magnum 500s that come with the kit. The tires that came with the kit and the parts back are just plain tires with redline pad printing. The tires Ive ordered may not be the exact correct ( indy profile) but they are fully detailed and more accurate.

Wow, Thanks for that link, lots of great information.

Excellent thanks! I was having trouble navigating that page, it kept taking me to bmw stuff by default.

I am a gm guy..... Ive always loved the 60s and 70s Mopar stuff though, however Ive never built anything Factory Stock..... I have begun a 1970 Charger R/T Hemi build in F8 Dark green (f8 Ivy previously) that I would like to be factory correct as it was delivered to the dealer. I am having a heck of a time finding correct useful information on the net.... I am wanting to know what tires would have been used on the car, I know that being a Hemi it would have 15" over the usual 14" and I also know that 70 was the first year of optional Rallye wheels so I have ordered a nice set from Fireball modelworks. I keep coming back to either G70-15 or G-78-15 but no brand etc. also would the same size be front and rear? Any help is much appreciated.

idk anything about it.... but I just pre-ordered one.... The supplier from my LHS says he is supposed to have them Mid- Late November

YES!!!!! will definitely need this!

Yep JP Hobby is still going. I wont be able to make the meeting Wed. but I am on the board for Bridgecon and we have our meeting tomorrow evening. Planning is underway for 2019.

Ive been using this for years. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/P-N-B-30-1000-30AWG-Tin-Plated-Copper-8-Wire-Colored-Insulation-Test-Wrapping-CE/302439866406?epid=2194709115&hash=item466ad22026%3Ag%3AtToAAOSwojxZm933&_sacat=0&_nkw=wrapping+wire&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC4.A0.H0.Xwrapping+wire.TRS5

I believe reliable resin used to cast one?.... im still waiting on the 2 I paid for like 3 -4 years ago......

I have used them and they work great. no pics at the moment.

I really enjoy your products! I am the guy that originally asked about the intake for the olds engine, its going in my project 31 Model A also using your cal custom toppers , strombergs and lake pipes.

I started on a 63 Acadian conversion for the AMT annual kit. but its been stalled for a couple years. too much on the go. Fortunately I have a bunch of 1:1 on hand for measurements etc.

shapeways.com look for Maple Leaf Modelworks...... Ive got quite a bit of his stuff and its all great. https://www.shapeways.com/product/BF4A5XPKT/1-25-wedge-scoop-for-4-barrel-carbs-x2?optionId=63512518
