I've always thought the car looked like Mopars FY1 yellow. I' getting ready to build a 1970 charger in same color. And I think Tamiya __TS16____ is the closest I've found yet.

Love to watch your cars come together. Being a huge fan of your same subject matter is only icing on the cake.

Nice collection. I wonder why guys spend years to build such a collection. Then sell off a vast majority one assembled. I don' think he has owned the landy or gas Ronda car all that long.

No names need mentioned. But I know EXACTLY who you refer to . and I refuse to buy from him even though on some he is the only game in town for some . I'll do without first.

I'll think about it and get back to you..........................................................Im thinking,.....................................................I;m thinking ................................................. Better yet, I'll just say ,,,,nope. Sorry bud. Ive been after one of these for a while. The body on this thing is pristine.

Bought this one via a face book group I follow. Johan 1960 Cadillac sedan and the box . Absolutely mint untouched unpainted body . Chrome is very nice and will not be rechromed . interior brush painted in what looks like testors enamel . Odds are I'll use the box as trade material

Another method is Run a bead of liquid glue along the edge of what you want to join. . While its still wet put the 2 pieces together , let sit a minute or 2 , pull them apart slightly. then squish them back together. it will squash a small amount of plastic out. Let it dry a day or so then sand the seam .Ive done this a few times with zero bondo required

Try just a little less hardener

Same here. I rarely go beyond just paint the chassis a simple satin black anymore. Been a couple lately that I went all out,,,,, and actually detail painted the molded in exhaust .

I would sure like to take a test drive,,,,, I mean ,,,,,,just to make sure

I got some truck tires from Missing link via Ebay WHEELS

I kinda like it. ....well all but that straight on side profile shot .

I love it, especially the mural on the lower body. You make those yourself ? That little truck sure went thru some changes over the years .

Looks good with the recall wheels I built one of these back then as well, , a replica of a good friends actual car. B 5 blue with black top and interior, 383 4 spd car. I REALLLY need to build another one for myself

Wow.

Here's a good side by side of the exact same model , Only difference is I flipped the front spindles to get the nose of the car just a touch taller in front . Same kit, exact same tires and wheels , neither one has had the body or wheel well altered in any way The Dodge Boys car sits about right. The Butterfly car is as the instructions call for,,which is a just a tad to low. IMO

1st two cars are at rest, Last pics shown the car is at take off .

I agree the kits front tires may be just a tad to small. But not much. And yes they are all based on the actual Color Me Gone car pictured ( FYI, it is NOT the original car raced by Roger Lindamood back in the day . Its a real max wedge car, just not THE actual car Also, keep in mind these old Mopars used a torsion bar front suspension so they may sit lower in the front at rest ( as opposed to coil spring equipped GM or Ford cars of the period ) But the nose would rise dramatically at take off to appear the same as the competition

Same here. I'll use Tamiya rattle cans ( and some Testors ) ,,,, or Duplicolor lacquers for 1/1 cars pretty much exclusively. I couldn't tell you the last time I used an enamel spray.

If your interested in selling or trading the roadrunner box Keep me in mind ( I have the original issue kit )

A few of my favorites

This is about as close as I get to a 'Glue Bomb' I traded a car I was in fairly reasonable cash wise for it. So its not something I would buy or bid on unless it was cheap enough to take the chance all this 'stuff' would come off easily. ( this one sure looks like it will clean up pretty well with a reasonable effort )

I had a Tamiya can seep out this yellow gold looking stuff around the bottom of the can. It was less than maybe 10 months old at the max.. Yet I've cans on the shelf 20 years old with no issues

I was at the one local to me a few weeks ago. And I didn't see any

Staples. Office Depot or Office max Or if you want an endless array of sizes try Uline.com
