I'm casually looking for a decent 67 Cougar. When I do ck one out they tend to go for more than my wallet is going to open up for. Ive toyed with the idea to convert the funnycar body combined with the 69 interior and chassis to give me the basic look I'm after.,,but it not real high on my to do list , ( I used to own a 67 390 auto car. and maybe some day want to build a replica of that old ride )

Absolutely love it

VERY nice, Ive struggled since this came out to buy this kit or not. Every time I see one built I think I want one, ( and I Never do import cars ) Love the color combo

The only way to get a superbird is either a Monogram 1.24th scale. Or long out of production Johan kit which is the only source for a1.25th scale. Be warned...your piggy bank will take a hit for a Johan kit.. Ps, about the only shared item between a 68 Roadrunner and a 1970 Superbird , is the windshield

so your buying second hand. Or at Ollies . Thats about the only way you'll be $10 or less

$10 kits disappeared years ago. UNLESS your buying second hand, even then its near impossible to get a mint unbuilt anything for that.

hey, back of the line buddy

Thanks, I was leaning towards the Fujimi kit. Right now , I have nothing. I don't need opening doors and all the fuss. It looks like the Gunze kit is out of my price range for a display model. As once its done, ( wont be anytime soon anyway ) it will go in the case and probably never to come out again . Thanks again , time to go prowl ebay

Good will or something similar. I took file box full of car and model magazines to a swap meet a few weeks back Offered the whole box for $10 . not one bite. My next trip near a good will they will go there, or I'll drop them in the recycling bin at my daughters school.

Ive got his 4 door Dodge cab. Beds shown were from elsewhere

So, Ive been thinking I would like to build a early GTO some day. Out of the 3 which one is the best one for a shelf model. An opening hood is nice if the V12 is accurate but not mandatory . Im more concerned with overall body shape . When I look in the case I want to see a nice looking early Ferrari GTO Italeri ?Testors ?Fujimi ? I would prefer a 1/25th scale but it doesnt look like thats possibile .

I believe the 72 Missile Cuda was found next to a garage. ( sorry, dont remember where though) There was a rather lengthy discussion about it over on Moparts.com a few years back . Then owner turned down numerous offers over the years ( it was no secret to several people. ) The car has since been pulled and restored . And this apparently just in the past few years, but no idea who owns it now .

Have had it happen several times. Best one was coming from Tennessee to KY , but went to California 1st, then a day in Michigan , from there to North Carolina finally to KY. Took almost 10 days , when it should have been 2 days TOPS. Thank god for tracking or I would have blew a gasket with the seller . Once it made it ,,,it was all good and we both got a good laugh out of it in the end. A few years back when I was doing a lot of 1/1 restoration parts selling. I mailed 2 boxes same day. One to New York , the other one to Australia. The Australia one got there 1st by about 2 days ,,,,go figure.

Paypal via goods and services . They have until about a week before Paypals deadline to deliver . At that time I file a non delivery of goods claim. I got screwed big time over a fraud buyer on ebay about 6 or 7 years ago. Sold him 3 cars worth $450 , He filed a damaged claim ,,,he then sent back 2 completely different cars worth about $30 on a good day . Paypal could care less, He insured them for the full $450 , which makes me have to sign at delivery . But once I opened it up and saw what he'd done. I told Paypal and even sent them pictures of what I sent him and what he sent me,,,,Paypal basically gave me tough chit reply. So yes im not a paypal advocate I refuse to send payment via friends and family method on a 1st time transaction. Its goods and services or I''ll pass on the whole deal.

I didnt know that. I have the ones for the 67-68 Air Lift Rattler car. And have a 70 Cougar builder I want to do as the pro stock car. But ive never seen the decals advertised anywhere before . I'll get in touch with him . Thanks

I've got the unpainted figures out of the Futura and probably the Club De Mer . Also have the above mentioned 1928 Lincoln and 1959 Ford retracatable kits. ,,,,,.I'll trade them all for just the Standing Dick Landy and standing Linda Vaughn figures I want to recreate something like this in 1/25th scale

his are for the 67 -68 Cougar funnycar

A couple new ones for the pile. A 1962 Ford builtup to do Dick Brannens super stock car And a 1958 Chrysler Imperial promo. I bought solely to part it out. Ive been lookign for a steering wheel and a pair of tail lights to fix my builder kit. Ive been lookign for the past few eyars with no luck, So just decided to buy a cheap promo or kit and part it out to get what I need and sell the remains

my exact thoughts

Nice. Especially in the white. I built one a couple years ago for a friend to replicate his 1/1 car in the garage I need to build another one for me . I'm was thinking in white and no wire wheels just to be different.

Glad Im not the only one who went looking for a 62 300 after seeing Steves build. I bought one a few months ago myself ( mine doesn't have the uptop though ) I've also picked up a clean original issue hardtop just because it was pretty reasonable .

Use regular BMF . then go over it with a yellow sharpie' Like so

Weird thing is. I got in my wifes van yesterday to go out to dinner . When I looked up to adjust the rear view mirror, I thought of Harry. Its most definitely not the same here without him. May he rest in peace

If I can make a suggestion. Why not start with the real thing. Johan made one and its not terribly difficult to find ( they're all over ebay ) The body of it is far and away superior than anything AMT has ever done with this body style . A nice unbuilt will set you back in the $50 - $60 range , give or take a few dollars either way ( patience is key to get it much cheaper than that though ) Ive seen some sell for more, but I wouldnt pay that for one , just keep an eye peeled for one and you WILL get one. Decent builtups can be had for usually under $30 , maybe $40 tops. Just in the past year Ive bought 2 and paid $50 for each. Both kits still factory sealed ( since been opened though ) Ive got several ( none for sale ) so my opinion may be jaded slightly.

Ive got decals to redo them all. And with recent issues with Fred Cady decals on another car. I'm thinking the decals are getting old . Thus why I'm even thinking about these cars at this point. As I had no plans to redo them anytime soon . All my decals are in a magnetic photo album storage book.. But some are approaching 20 years old now. Even though thats where the sheet for my Bob Ford Thunderbolt build was. I liked to never got them to stick to the car during this past winters build of it . ( I had similar issues with some older Slixx decals a couple years ago ) In the back of my mind, I'm thinking open them up. Strip , repaint, do the decals and clear. Dry assemble them and put them back in the case for another day to fully complete. But part of me says just finish them now and be done with them . Yet part of me says leave them alone and deal with any issues IF they arise someday down the road . BUT, will fresh decals still exist in 5 , 10 or even 15 years IF I need them .
