Very VERY nice. Super clean build If you dont mind me asking, Any issues building this one? I have 2 of these kits on a very shirt to do list here very soon.

I thought I had another set . But looked for them a few weeks ago and I don't Thus, my quandary on not being able to strip this one and start over

I will do this this weekend. Working on a 1 / 1 project the rest of the week

I think im going to call the interior. Done Nothing dramatic Fusion Chrome for the dash. With Tamiya highlighter flowed in for effect. Embossing powder for carpet

Thanks much I think in the end it will have the right "Look* even if not 100% accurate. Decals i bought. From who? I honestly dont remember I want to say Decals by Lucas made them ? But its been a while so no guarantees Worked on it a little bit this morning. I gotta say... I really like this Fusion Chrome stuff.

Thanks for the info I dont have any real interest in making my own. So with this info, I'll just use the Lindberg headers and move

Original hemi car, on original 14inch rims

This is incorrect 1966-67 hemi cars were 14 inch ONLY 1966 were 7.75-14 Blue streaks side wall ( there is some information they MIGHT have used whitewalls as well. , but nothing written that Ive seen ) 1967 were F70-14 redlines 1968-69 Were 15 inch F70-15s ONLY Redlines or white lines 1970 were 14 inch standard, with F70-14s - could be RWL or pinstripe whitewall , And 15 inch with F60-15s with RWL Im not sure on 71s what was standard 1970-71 E bodies were 15 inch with F60-15s ONLY RWL only

Sprayed some TS54 over a real dark blue base. Yields me a color REALLY close to the exterior Almost dead on . Used the Fusion Chrome on valve covers Imo. They are as good as kit chrome pieces

After messing with the stock kit chassis I saw no real way to get the car to sit ' right' So I jumped in both feet to modify the body ( very scary feeling ) and a Lindberg chassis from one of the SS Dodge / Plymouth kits Taking a knife and grinder to a kit that was painted many years ago was scary as I have no idea what I used to paint it back then But all in all. It went well and with a bunch of mods to both chassis and body. It fits . Pretty well I think. In all honesty. This one was a test to see if I could do similar mods to a Johan 1963 Dodge kit I have Even though the kit has a Dana rear axle. which is wrong for this car, I'll live with it as I do nt have any spare 8-3/4 rear axles to give up for this car I haven't decided fully if I will try to make or use Johan fender well headers,,,,OR just use the Lindberg pieces. Chassis required I cut A lot off the ft and some trimming on the back. Otherwise it fits decent I had to remove everything behind the kit body grille to make it fit , ( that was scary )

i have him making me 2 different sheets right now He did mention he was 10 weeks backlogged . Im in no hurry

I have that kit and this is THE very car I plan to replicate FY1 Yellow, Tan interior sunroof and trunk mounted luggage rack

Smooth primer is a must, Been using Tamiya's white primer the most lately . And Most time I dont even sand it Light coats of color, built up over a hour or two Same goes for clear if I do it. Let that sit a few days and usually just a light wet sand with maybe a progressive sanding pads from about 3000 to maybe a 10,000 grit then polish with microfiber cloth and Meguires cream polish Now, That said is my stuff flawless ? absolutely not. I build for me not a show judge, So paint perfection is a trait I rarely try to achieve. This one just happened to turn out pretty darn nice , IMO You can not feel the transition from one color to the other. Best part is, Its all rattle cans

update I have ONE spare sheet out of a kit I bought a while back that will not be built as the Landy car . This kit isnt cheap I'll be honest It looks like maybe the clear coat has / had issues ? Hard to describe or show in photos So that said , IMO the only way I would attempt to use it is clear coat it first If thats ok, PM me, we can talk But it makes for very cool build on the shelf

Im guessing the 65 barracuda is close to store shelves Svens World of Wheels has one in process I will be getting a couple of these for myself
