Found this last week and have been wracking my brains on what to do with it. Found it while looking for something else actually. And my mind went to work on what to do with it. I Painted it AT LEAST 12-13 years ago . Best I remember it was a Dupli color rattle can. My mistake was no primer first. Straight lacquer paint on bare plastic. Needless to say, It crazed the plastic. Enough I was disappointed and put it away. So made the decision to see if I couldn't salvage it. Had nothing to lose ,,, so I sprayed some rattle car urethane clear in several light coats . Hoping it wouldn't make it worst. Turns out it layed down pretty decent ( good enough for my case anyway) And has a reasonable shine to it. ( knocks on wood ) So , taped up the interior to add the white accents( brush painted) , then put Tamiya satin clear over it Plan is just some details and in the case it goes. The kits engine is long gone. So,,,I'll make it a curbside and lightly glue the hood down and move on. Im aware the seat pattern as well as even some of the exterior trim is all wrong for the actual car. I think I can live with it

WOW< just doesnt seem to be enough But WOW

Interior is DONE. Nutting fancy or super detailed. Just Tamiya white primer with a light coat of satin clear on top Duplicolor flat black for the dash with some details picked out with silver paint and a toothpick Elmers clear over the gauges to give it a clear Lense look

Doesnt have to be complete , just enough to build a drag car from it In a perfect world ,THIS version

Thanks, My only real concern is body shape and true to 1.25th scale It will NOT be built stock anyway

One final dry fit to make sure the hood closes properly Then BMF work ahead

TRADED, Mods can delete this if they wish

You still need this sheet ?

Following along for the ride That was a killer looking car back in the day

Im just here for the comments

Following Any issues with the Polar Lights 64

A 3fr I used this exact thing on recent build Works like a charm

Correct

Nice detail about leaving the rear glass out. This car never ran with rear glass under Norms ownership

Big Block 727 Torqueflite - Texas3DCustoms Mopar 727 Trans & Pan - Morgan Automotive Detail

I have these. I will never use

Revell has a few on their kits I know the Dart and the 67 GTX both have separate wipers

Nice, It builds up to be a pretty decent shelf kit, Even if it is a rather simple snap kit I wonder how well it will do sharing shelf space with the Moebius kit in store s

Nice stuff Shame they didn't tool up a bench seat for the 72 Duster And I assume. The 65 Dodge is the former polar lights kit?

A bit of useless info The Landy car was originally built a 4spd But when he scattered said 4spd very early on. He robbed the auto trans from his 64 and carried on Its why this car was campaigned with a dash mounted push button shifter.

Just one ir 2 ? They are addictive. You've been warned

Stance ck. Its coming along. Albeit slowly, but surely. A little high in the rear , But it appears the actual car was up there as well. So it stays as is

Nice, I have the same conversion pieces and have started to replicate my current car

Ive used several sets of his decals, You will not be disappointed
