Looks great! I'm working on a couple of these right now myself.

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Thanks everyone for all the comments. Now I need to set this on a trailer, hook it to a Cadillac..............like the old song Hey Little Cobra, by the Ripchords. It WAS a better time then, but we wouldn't have the internet for this forum :-(

Love the green tutone!!! And the water spots are so cool!! They look even better in the green than in the pink.

Thanks guys for all the comments!!

Front ones are skinnies, the back ones are old pie crust slicks.

I agree, I guess that's how you can tell it's the same old kit we've had around for years. Sometimes it's just fun to build one of these old simple designs, instead of taking on a 100% correct project.

I love the color too, wish I knew what it was. That's part of what persuaded me to buy it. I'm not a fan of the "fat" Cobras.

Got this old tooling AMT kit at a swap meet a couple weeks ago, and it's so simple, I decided to build it. Quick fun, vintage style! Used all the kit parts, except parts box front wheels/tires. Slicks are from the reissue parts pack. Added a distributor with wires. Paint is Model Master one coat laquer Citrus metallic. The windshield in this kit was so pathetic I didn't even bother to use it. Still looking for an aftermarket duvall style sheild for it.

Old AMT kit that I bought off the Bay. Someone did a really decent build. I like it, so I left most of it alone. I did add the tires and wheels, and removed the bumpers for a "light drag" look. Cleaned up pretty good

Beautiful!!! And the ww decals came out great!

Guys, I used the paint not because of cost, but because the color was the only dead-on wringer for what I needed. I've used many other colors of this brand before with excellent results. This light yellow is the only one that did this. I will try some suggested methods before I resort to stripping.

Beautiful! Paint came out awesome!

Have a problem that hasn't happened to me in my 30 something years of building models. I have a straight enamel paint job that refuses to dry. It's been two weeks! (on a styrene body). I know, I know.........you guys are all gonna tell me I'm nuts for still using spray cans. Hell, I'm lucky I have a touch-tone phone! Anyway, the kit was prepped as usual, with a couple coats of Duplicolor primer, wet sanded, then three coats of a light yellow cheap dollar store straight enamel. It came out perfectly, and shines better than anything I've used before! However, it's still tacky to this day. I've even let it sit out in the hot Florida sun, and still tacky. So tacky, that I do not want to handle it to build it. I've touched inconspicuous areas and it will leave fingerprints that do not seem to come out. Should I try a clearcoat? If so, what kind? Or would Future do it? Or, should it swim in the purple pond? (there goes all my body filler work!!)

Love these caps, thanks to Missing Link................hint, hint!!!!! We need more oddball caps Kevin! Here's my '75 Dart sport with them. They used these caps on the Dart line thru '76.

It sure would be nice if they re-tooled the body to fix the afforementioned mistakes. The Johan promo body was most accurate. Too bad every single one of them, including "mint" examples, warped themselves to a smiley death.

Wow, that is awesome!!!!! Perfect color! If I was around to buy one of these new, that's the color I would have ordered. However, a little blackwash would really make the Missing Link stock hubcaps pop, as on the 1:1 caps.

Very nice Flattie!

I know all about the side trim................I look at a real one every day!

Man, that is gorgeous!!! Franklin Mint couldn't have done it better!

I love the color choice! Great looking Olds.

Awesome! Looks just right!

Beautiful!! As for the color, knowing Mopar, some of the '71's may have slipped through in Go Mango. Also, could have been special ordered as a code "999", which I would not be surprised if a few were, considering the popularity of Go Mango. So, you still may be correct in a way.

Nice looking Monaco...........looks like Augusta Green.

Beautiful Duster! Gorgeous paint! Only thing I can see is the missing quarter windows. Dusters never had roll down quarter windows, they were all "fixed". Alot of guys don't realize this and they build without them to give a hardtop look.
