  1. I hope there will be an aftermarket GP trunk panel in 3D along with bucket seats and console to make a GP.
  2. I just recieved Texas 3D 440 Mopar long ram engine along with the stock 440 exhaust manifolds, and have to say it's magnificent! Charles' offerings are like a Lay's potato chip...you can just have one. Fast turn around time and Charles always responds back, great service. Love this stuff, especially Mopars. Keep them coming.
  3. I am building this stock Hemi for an AMT 70 Challenger, which with a bit of work can be an accurate representation. The Revell Charger Hemi has scratch made parts as well Fireball Model Works Hemi Carter carbs, Replicas & Miniatures of MD spark plug boots and distributor and Model Car Garage's p/e throttle linkage and springs. Wiring is needed completion with some more bits. The fan belt is made of Lettraset art black tape.
  4. Nicely done. It would be nice to have the SS bumper with the black rubber panel separate. Just saying.
  5. On the bench some more Mopars. AMT 70 Challenger, which in my opinion the best body proportions of the currently available Challenger kits. With a bit of help in extra detail, it's coming out great. The kit's vinyl hardtop hss been sanded, molded in and added drip moldings and window moldings. The rear taillight panel is from the Revell T/A because the taillights are more accurate. Headlight buckets are from Barchetta which greatly enhance tge front. This will be a black on black Hemi car with dog dish wheels. The Hemi is from the Revell 69 Charger with Fireball Carter carbs. Need to complete carb linkage, fuel lines and ignition wires.
  6. Oh baby! I bought some products from Wylde and love what he does. He's filling in some voids of unique parts and he's a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. Can't wait for the Chevelle pieces. Great job guys.
  7. Something way off the radar over all these years would be a 67-69 Valiant Signet. This would be a surprise and willing to bet be very popular. The 71 Duster guts would make sense since it would be an all new tool and especially if Round2 can modularize the tools. Just a thought, but it would be way cool.
  8. Pierre: Beautiful, the most realistic and very accurate. Pleaes help, I want to order the set from Jason but having a hard time figuring out the wheel sizes. Can you tell me want size wheels to order for the Fujimi Ferrari? Thanks and your response is greatly appreciated.
  9. Steve, Thanks for all you do and for listening to our suggestions. I have a suggestion on the 58 Belevedere, if Round 2 has plans in the future for improvements, it will be an opportunity to modify it as a 57 Fury since the guts are already tooled and the body will incur investment anyway. Also, please fix the 68 Road Runner taillights (clear lens and accurate) and that aweful grille...please if this has future re-issue plans, correcting the inaccuracies will be very well welcomed. BTW, it's great that you are open to be part of this forum, keep up the great work.
  10. George do you have a url to order when these items are in stock?
  11. Finally, my 59 Dodge PU is finished after many set backs and re-dos, she came out as I imagined. This started out with an old Scale Equipment Resin that had its issues and corrections. I used the AMT 53 Fird frame and chassis with modifications for a 4x4 drive line. The hemi engine is from the 57 Chrysler 300 and the rest from the parts box. The bed is from the Dodge Little Red truck with Detail Master's wood bed kit and cigar box wood for the bottom. I chose MCW Chrysler Pale Blue for the body which was wet sanded and polished. The interior has upholstery decal from Scale Motorsport. Lastly the wheels are from Pegasus Moebius duallies. The kit came with a beautiful P/E set which Model Car Garage made. I'm very happy with how this build turned out.
  12. First color coat, Chrysler Pale Blue. I'm debating if I should clear coat it, it has a nice shine but hey, it's old truck.

  14. I just got my Revell Chrome and have to say it is fantastic. I applied it to a few of my Mopar grilles and they came out awesome. I want to give it a few days before I handle them so I'm hoping the finish hardens.
  15. Thanks Charles, I'll check out the MT covers.
  16. Awesome! One point to make ,the wedge valve covers differed slightly from the 413/426 to 383/440 years. Would it be difficult to print the Max Wedge cross ram manifold? Maybe the Mopar Performance valve covers as an option?
  17. Fireball Models has a beautiful set of the Cuda scoops. Check it out. https://fireballmodels.info/
  18. Now you're talking Charles, can't wait! Hopefully a 413/426 cross ram wedge are in the plans. Love your stuff!!!
  19. Just a few adjustments, final details, and a little body work then onto the spray booth for Chrysler Pale Blue paint from MCW. I decided on using Moebius Duallies, just released by Pegasus as a wheel / tire pack and think it looks great and fitting. Tge upholstery is from Scale Motorsports and gives a 50's look. The exhaust system is scratch built with mufflers from tge parts box. I used Detail Master's P/E exhaust clamps. Brakes complete the chassis.The 57 Chrysler Hemi sits at home in the engine compartment. Can't wait to finish this one.

  21. Been working on this old resin Dodge that I've had for over 20 years and was going to dump it until a friend told me I was crazy, so I decided to give it a new life and create a detailed and unique truck. The body has been thinned and cleaned up, the chassis from the AMT 53 Ford PU, pu bed is from the Dodge Little Red Truck, Hemi engine from the 57 Chrysler 300 (may as well do it right), parts box stuff and a lot of scratch building and mods. I'm going overboard with details but hey, it's saving an old Dodge that you don't see in scale. Color will be a Chrysler pale blue , black steelies and possible front axle. The headliner and door panels are scratch made. Using Detail Masters wood bed panels. This resin came with P/E badging that were made by MCG. I scratch built the front grille to represent a 59 version and dual headlights are the custom parts from the 53 Ford.

  23. Getting this bad boy ready for paint and assembly. All modifications have been made on the frame for 4x4 drive train driven by a 57 Chrysler Hemi, TorqueFlite and transfer case, resin steelies and tires (I'll probably switch the tires to Fireball) and steerable front axle. Dashboard has a separate gauge panel with aftermarket gauge panel and switches detail. Made a headliner as well. Door panels have separate inserts to represent the 1:1. Scale Motorsports upholstery decal on the seat. The body has been sanded and ready for another coat of primer, then some coats of Chrysler pale blue finish. Headlights are from the 53 Ford PU custom grille, separate lens for the turn signals and scratch made taillights with separate lens. Hoping to get this done soon.
