This is my 1965 Moebius Satellite completed. Super nice kit with nice detail and great parts fitment.

Going to bring this over to the Model Cars (completed) section .

Time for paint! It laid down very nicely. Yes, it was Tamiya lacquer from a can.

Thank you! Moebius put crisp detail into the dash. All I did was add some silver paint and the decal. You could probably paint the silver with a magic marker and have it turn out well.

Thanks! I think that the color combination works.

Car is going to be painted 71433 Ruby Red.

I copied the interior from photos found on the web.

VERY well done! I have enjoyed all of your builds. I am in the process of building the sedan body version. I only hope that it turns out as nicely as yours!

I just love the Moebius Plymouth kits. I've built a few of of them as race cars but this one is going to be pretty much box stock.

I wish that I could tell you. I picked it up at a show a long time ago from a now unknown vendor. It went into my parts stash (box) , hence the name " Parts box altered"

Notice the twist in the body and the amount of air under the right front tire! I’ll fix it one day…..maybe

I’ll happily display it once I find a replacement chassis. Kit part is warped beyond imagination. In fact, there are a number of large parts that just don’t fit to my satisfaction.

Not from the kit. I found them in my 50 year collection of wheels. Sorry, I don’t recall where they came from.

Definitely my most challenging BMF project to date. My eyesight and nerves will never be the same after this one! I didn't realize how badly the chassis was warped until final assembly. If you build one of these, make sure to test fit everything before you try to make it pretty! This truck was going to be a push truck for a fuel dragster. The front push bar never happened. This truck is also proof that I build subjects other than Mopars!

Well done! I'm inspired to build a ramp truck with a cab like that.

Yes it was a 440. Solid 15 second quarter miles! HOWEVER…..the car was deadly consistent and I won over 20 final rounds in 1976. I literally got banned from NY National Speedway for winning too much ( not kidding).

Who? Me? ?

"Built to fit into the old SS/BA class. I know the Hemi Cudas were '68s. " Easy fix. Put in A/Modified Production! no one will question that! I love the tail light conversion! WF

Looks great! I can only imagine what mine would have looked like as built by a 13 year old me. Probably an accurate collection of glue induced finger prints all over that nice, clear body! ?

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. This kit was not readily available when I wanted to build a replica of my '74. I paid a great deal of money to buy a kit that I found on line (Of course, the kit was re-released about a month after I paid dearly for one). You can imagine my disappointment upon opening the kit box to find the roof caved in, the single exhaust chassis with catalytic converter, a Dodge Coronet dashboard and no stripes! I was pissed off to say the least. Keith Marks solved the decal problem, an AMT chassis took care of the garbage chassis and engine and by the time I fixed the roof with hot water, the re-released kits were on the shelf and I got the correct dash. WF

I made the instrument cluster. Copied a photo of the cluster and reduced it to size, printed it and cut it out. Covered it with a piece of clear acetate. Very easy to do.

Not much of a story for this one. It was one of the last models that I built before taking a 6 year hiatus from the hobby in 2017. It was for a Jersey Shore MCC theme contest. The theme was ...convertibles. I had some left over AMT road runner and GTX parts in a box, so I put this together. I recently found some unseen photos of the car.

Definitely gives that '50s magazine look! Super cool!

This car represents a time before wheelie bars, it was also a time before guard walls!
