A resin repop of the MPC annual kit pops up on ebay pretty regularly. I have a stryene RT . I avoid resin as much as I can But as much as I want a Superbee at some point I may pull the trigger on one sooner than later' 1968 Bee

Biggest issue is going to be removing the molded in rear finish panel. Coronet RT

Not to drag this build of subject But was there a 67 Gran Prix model made back then

Ok, All the pics I have are the Pat Foster driven car ( aka the one I plan to replicate and is how I do my searches ) Carry on .

If I may ask, Where did you obtain the info this car had an offset driver / engine arrangement ? Ive been collecting info on this car for a while now ( also looking for the decals in 1/25th scale ) To do as a future build . And I don't remember anything ever stating anything about off sets . Ps, this last pic / body down is a new nostalgia car. but even it shows a center engine / driver arrangement. And it shows the lowered rocker panel ( ala, pro mod style / new nostalgia ) That the original car did not have.

That's a NICE build. Color combination is perfect Gonna have to get me one of these kits. (Already have an original 59 annual for later on)

Agreed. There are numerous restoration mistakes out there. If you have any questions on what is replica stock. Ask away. Been a Mopar guy my entire adult life. And a former judge for the Mopar Nats. On a 1970 the shaker was argent silver (some early models in FE5 red were avail with red shakers. But that's the only exception. The 1971s the shaker was a dark argent (almost black ) As far as wheels.All Hemi Cudas were 15" wheels. The 5 spoke wheels were 14" only on a mopar. But that's the nice thing about models. We can build them any way desired.

I vote (like my vote really matters ) the silver Rallye (the 5 spokes were not avail on a Hemi Cuda ) But I will say B5 looks good with B5 blue steel wheels and beanie hubcaps.

Very....VERY nice. I've got one of these kits for later on. You may have just given me my color combo.

Love the shortbed conversion. I've been trying to get a clean 60 or 61 F150 for a while now. Always seem to get beat out

Looks good. Probably one of my favorite kits to build (have 6 done so far and counting )

Just an fyi. The white on the superbird is owner added. ALL Superbitds had black vinyl tops and nose decals.

I've got a couple digital slide calipers from Loews. Had them for about what 10 years. Replace the battery every couple years and never an issue

Nice. I worked on these cars when they were new. They were a blast to drive.

I've built 4 or 5 Biggest issue for me. As mentioned the attaching points for the wheels is really fragile.

MAIL CALL Johan 1959 Cadillac 4 door builtup. Not a cream-puff by any standards. ( front fender ornaments ) and hood emblem are sanded off. paint is on a tad to thick to tell if the side emblems are there or not . Either way,,,,,,, with a little work. It should rebuild without a whole lot of fuss. One more to scratch off the want list .

Fyi. The car has an 8-3/4 rear diff. Your model part is a Dana .

For me its simple. If it's out of the country.....i don't bid. My only exception is Canada. Even then it has to be something I absolutly can not find anywhere else.

I use Future

A couple new additions to the pile. Johan 1959 Cadillac builtup And an original / only issue MPC 1966 GTO convertible builtup. Been keeping an eye out for each of these for a while now. But I had a budget and stuck to it ( under $50 ea )

To bad photobucket snag the pics. I REALLY like this one a lot.

Not in our lifetime, in all honesty. Not ever.

Pierce is a maybe. There were literately dozens of car manufacturers back about this time frame. Would like to see more of it. I have a decent late teens / early 20s model stash put away . And the desire to dig into that section of the pile is growing steadily

My 1st thought is a Durant ? Regardless, its nice.

I would definitely be in for a 1957 Mercury turnpike cruiser . Or even better, how about a 1955 or 1956 Chrysler Imperial ?
