Had to do a repaint on this....... The sags in the clear just looked worse the more I looked at them! Minor set-back, I'll be doing final assembly soon, hopefully..........

Nintendo!

Thank you for the replies, Guys........... So which engine would be most correct for a '63? The Moebius one, or one from a Lindberg kit?

Hey, Mitch.......... The engine isn't wired or anything. This build is box stock, aside from the wheels, tires, and skirts........... The distributor is molded into the intake, one of this kit's few design flaws.......

I'm just curious as to why some of you guys are searching MW engines and such. The Moebius Belvedere I supposedly has a wedge engine, and it being a new tool, one would think it would be more desirable. The reason I ask is because I want to mix a '63 JoHan Fury and a more modern tool kit to create my own beast............. Thanks for any insight on this......!

The back of that ladies ice cream truck says "Caution: Children"........ That must be where she keeps them!

That is correct.............

I will find a center in you, I will chew it up and leave, I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down............

"And then we lie beneath a shady tree, I love her and she's loving me, She feels good, she knows she's looking fine, I'm so proud to know that she is mine..........." ------------------------------------------

Thanks, Mitch, for the compliment! The exhaust is just the kit supplied pieces, the turn-down tips are molded that way......... This is a very nice kit, one of Monograms better ones....... As soon as I learn to chop a roof, I want to build one based on James Hetfield's "Crimson Ghost" '37 coupe.....

Thanks for your input, Chad! It's too late to modify the suspension any now that everything is painted, though............

Thought I would show you guys how my paint turned out! I got a little bit of a sag in the clear, on the lower right front......... nothing that I can't live with and polish out in the future..........

Thanks for commenting, fellas! The skirts maybe look a little funky because they are a different plastic, but it should come together once I get some paint on..........

Just one more quick mock-up before I start painting................. which will take a couple of days, as long as the weather is nice....

Just a little progress to show.......... the frame is pretty much finished!

Thanks, Guys! Nothing worthy of a pic, but I just wanted to share a tip I've learned for removing scratches from bare plastic after removing mold lines and such......... I scrub the area that is marred with Comet cleanser and a tooth brush. It softens the scratches, and the primer will go on nice and hide the area that was addressed..........

No Veruca Salt fans here? This song is called "25"...............

Just started this in the past few days......... I really like this kit, it will be the second one that I've built. So far I've just removed the door hinges and the mold lines from the body, and got the frame pretty much finished. Wheels and tires from a Corvette, and I plan on using skirts for this......... Any and all comments welcome...........!

I believe I read that Moebius' '65 Belvedere I comes with a Max Wedge engine........ at least that's what I'll use to kitbash my '63 Plymouth wedge car........ It even has the cross-ram intake...!

When I was 5, I took a dive, When I was 10, I walked again, When I was 15, I kept my motor clean, When I was 20, I felt empty,...........

Yea, You can even get one a little cheaper if it's already built........... I'm just spoiled on the ease and details of the modern kits, so I would definately have to mix kits to get a good model......

Before I go through the trouble of finding an old JoHan '63 and buying a Lindberg or Moebius kit to bring the kit up to date, and have my Max Wedge dream, I thought I should ask if it's at all possible that Moebius already has a '63 in the works. They like to get multiple years from the same basic tooling, so I was (wishfully) thinking they may have one of these planned for the future.......... What do you guys think? Should I just be patient for a while? Thanks for any responses..................

Well, I was movin' down the highway in my V8 Ford, I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns low, With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed, nobody give me trouble 'cause they know I got it made...........

I give you all of me, and you crave for more, Weird how this makes us feel insecure, That's what friends are for............
