pretty cool I'm guessing a fan could scratch build one pretty easy just lots of basic shapes

great project and progress, I remember those fondly I've had a dozen or so of them years ago in various trim levels everything from the basic s6 with paisley interior to the sportier R/T and Road Runner those 360s were pretty slow, Haven't seen a decent one in years, besides the fender rust the unibodies rotted out right at the firewall

Best way to ship a lot of models?
440 Dakota replied to Monty's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Casey beat me by a couple minutes, I'd check Greyhound bus, I've looked into having VW stuff shipped from the west coast and its considerably cheaper -
MPC made several of the quad headlight models I don't think any of them have been issued in many years so its secondary market

big fan of JCR myself in fact still have the rear bumper that was intended for the white one sitting here un welded still, can't speak for the new grands but the ZJ and WJ isn't too horrible to wheel in with V-8 power and comfy interior and when the front axle stuff breaks just replace with XJ stuff, a lot of horrible plastic body trim that really holds water and rots em out bad I 2nd the NAXJA, great site and the headliner was perfect in the white 2000 the other dozen or so that's come and gone well that's another story

we've owned over 100 cars throughout the years so hard to choose just 1 most reliable wallet friendly was the Geo Prizim (Corolla) the Civic or one of the CR-Vs which we still own 1 most fun was one of the Road Runners or Chargers probably the 68 RR that would run mid 10s though exhaust not fast by todays standards but still fun least favorite wallet unfriendly were the Town & Country minivan, Dakota quad and the Ram 2500 quad diesel, all 3 of them cured me of brand loyalty toward Chrysler products
