  1. I'm look at a model car paint booth. Wife is getting made at the smell in the house. I'm looking at a PACE unit, but the cost. Anyone have any ideaes as to what I should look for or contact or were to look. Any help with this or in-put would help
  2. That looks so good that I could get in and driver it away!
  3. My condoleances to the family and sad to hear of the passing. Very good ehgines with great detail. Hope the Engines continue
  4. 426-HEMI: The 400 cid was a B-engine not a RB engine. But the 383 was built as B-engine and an RB-engine. Yes the HEMI was RB-engine, the 426 cid wedge was redrilled to take the new HEMI heads for NASCAR and the NHRA. The old 426 wedge engine was re-enforced to take the new HEMI heads but basicly the same RB-engine. The old A engine could not take the 1 gen Hemi heads, but were very close. In face the A block and LA bock were very close, the heads made the big differents. In fact a electronic distrutor will fit in the old A engine and 1 first gen HEMI. A and LA engine dio have a lot in commen. As a Mopar guy with over 8 cars at this time and being aroung Mopars sice the early 60's I do know a little about them. My first car was 1939 Dodge, first car that moved the shifter from the floor to the column. An I can tell you a lot more about the firsts of Mopar.
  5. That is assume. I have the 1971( plastic ) model car.
  6. On the stripping is that flat black or semi flat black?
  7. If I use Model Master custom lacquer systems for a base primer can I spray over that with HOC paint?
  8. As an owner of a 1966, the body lines tell me its a 1966. !964 and 1965 had had there own body lines, 1966 had a different line and also had a full front and rear bumpers. !964 and 1965 had a thin front and rear bumpers with roll pans front and rear
  9. Sorry but what GM is doing, is why they have dropped out of number 1 in sales in the world. Appointing a woman as CEO to get favor with the buying public and still making junk. WOW, you mean its ok to make 67 million cars that are junk, NOBODY, I mean nobody should make that much junk. They are by far the biggest maker of JUNK! I for one would not even give it a second thought to buy something from them. As you can see in the industry, they(GM) are going down in sale as others are going up, what does that tell you?
  10. Very nice, like the column shifter. very, very nice. base Road Runner.
  11. Rich; nice car. nice build. My father had a 1959 Plymouth Fury two door hardtop, aqua with cream roof and browm.tan interior. also had 58 belevdere dark green/ lite green and a 1960 belevdere two door hardtop, maroon and red interior. Just loved that them 50's and early 60's cars.
  12. Wasn't the truck engine a 315 cid, while the engine was a 318 cid. The 315 was a heavy duty use for trucks (Same engine diifferent uses)
  13. You will have to send pictures of your model room when you get moved in.
  14. I think we should vote for one: !) Mopar wagon out of many picks 1) GM wagon out many picks 1) Ford wagon out of mant picks That way we could make a list and get a model of a wagon from each of the big three.
  15. Just make your own, works the best as you can form as you need.
  16. I'd like to see a 3 in 1 kit myself Stock Hemi Cuda, Sox And Martin Cuda and a AAR Cuda. I would also like see a 1971 Cuda with the gill front fenders .
  17. High Octane, In the last ten years the poly engine have become quite popular In the land down they make alot of parts for the poly engines with some makeing as much as 500 hp.. Not an egine to shy away from any more.just like the early Hemi's and a place called Hot Heads making parts for them too.
  18. Remember them as a kid when I was aound 10 yrs of age at the local Schwinn dealer down town Antigo, WI. I got a Gambles 20" bike red in color(no shifter, no buckhorn handle bars no small front wheel, no banana seat) and just a plain bike that mom and dad could aford.
  19. Being a MOPAR fan and a big Richard Petty fan since the early 60"s I'll tell you what Petty told Ford in 1969, When you(Ford) have a better idea I'll let you know!. That was a Ford commerce in 1969, Fords has a better idea. Petty went back to Plymouth in 1970 and started to win again. Hell I'd take my 2600 lb 66 Valiant with a little 408 cid and 4 sd up against big bad Ford.
  20. Never cared for GM cars as everyone owned one and they said that there Chevies were the best and the fastest. Well from that time and before and a big Richard Petty (before Nascar popular) The owmly car made that was great was MOPAR. Remember who won in Nascar even as Nascar put restricter plates on the Hemi to slow it down The ownly thing Chevy had going for them was the small block., So think GM is a bad company making all them bad cars and not careing who they hurt or killed as long as they sell cars. I think everone should stop buying GM car to make a point to GM
  21. Thats great, even thou I like anything MOPAR.
  22. Now thats great, looks oh so real with the weathering that you did. Great build.
