I don;t think I'll live long enogh to see 10,000 posts Thanks for all the help and inspiration Virgil! Cheers, Ian

Got it

Ron, Nick told me its Rodney Badger, but I'm not sure how to contact him, plus Casey said he could help.. Ok, now do I really need to pull the 440 out of the Super Bee? what about using the motor out of the GTX kit? Thats a 440 as well, right? I have the air cleaner already, so that not an issue. Keep on truckin'

Jon, Perfect, exactly what I need, except I need 1/24th scale Bummer Cheers, Ian

Sweet job! I'm looking for a set of those rims as well

I have a GTX rear end I can use. I can pull the 440-6 out of my '69 Super Bee, the only thing I need is the steelies and caps. I don't have a 'Revell '70 Roadrunner. I haven't found any resin rims in 1/24th scale yet. I'll keep looking Cheers, Ian

Sweet job Mike! Can't wait for your next Mopar project

Nick, The color looks good in the last set of pics. Who did the resin repops of your rims? I need a set of those.. Cheers, Ian

So to sum it up, I want to do a 440-6, 4 speed Roadrunner in some type of Hi Impact green with steelies and dog dish caps.. So, I can use the Monogram Satellite body and hood, Keith marks decals, Model Car Garage RoadRunner photo-etch set, and plug and chug to get the car I want... Works for me You know, I spent too many years building military aircraft worrying about what's right and what's accurate...no wonder I have a hard time finishing anything Well, I'll give it a shot Cheers, Ian

This is good info, as I willl be adding a few of these myself. Cheers, Ian

Yup, I third that Welcome aboard!

Jay, I agree with the other guys. Start off with something more simple to get your feet wet. Resin can be tricky to work with for the unfamiliar. Normal glues don't work on resin I've been modeling for a long time, and I've used resin add-ons and conversion kits for military aircraft, but until recently, never a full resin kit. Over the past year or so, I've purchased a couple full resin car kits, and it was a real eye opener. Some took a ton of work, one took almost no work.. HTH, let us know how you do, and POST PICS Cheers, Ian

I want to see where this goes, especially the engine detailing...Working on a Cuda, and building up to a RoadRunner

Katherine, Wow, thats quite a haul. Are they built or unbuilt? You can try eBay to get an idea what some of the kits might be worth. Depending on what you have (old vs new), who knows.. Maybe post some pics here, there is a TON of old school modelers that have a wealth of information that might be helpful.. Good luck, Cheers, Ian

Love the weathering1 Looks like a daily driver..

Sweet!! love that color!

:lol:

I know some Trivial Pursuit guys that would love that tidbit of info

Awesome! Good stuff. This is how I learn

Casey, Geez, I wonder who that guy was.... Excellent article, BTW Hey all, thanks for the info on the GTX/RR situation. I just picked up a Revell GTX and Monograms '71 Satelite kit, and I plan on making a Road Runner out of it The only problem is that Satellite kit has no chrome tree. I knew that going in, but it was so cheap, I couldn't pass it up I guess I could rob Peter to pay Paul, and use the chrome from the GTX kit on the Satelite/Road Runner, but we'll see, Cheers, Ian

Hey all, This may be a dumb question, but I needs to know What is the difference between the 1971 Plymouth GTX and the '71 Road Runner? Obviously the name....and the badging, but to me they look the same. I have Revell's '71 GTX kit and I want to turn it into a Road Runner, but I'm not sure what I need to pull it off... As usual, any help would be appreciated Cheers, Ian

Sweet ride! What type of motor is in there?

Mike, Sure looks close. That could be the ones. I'll PM you! Thanks Cheers, Ian

Mike, Whaaazzzzup?? I definately want to see pics of your car when its done. The Olds you did was sweet! These are the hubcaps I need, and no one makes them, that I know of.. Know where I can pick these up? Cheers, Ian
