Same here,, my brother in law plays guitar. so getting his used guitar string for free makes it even better. I may have to try this method to get the 2 piece antenna look I did one years ago and my only complaint is ,,, its just a straight antenna . Which for Mopars was not used till 1972 and later

Dude, You absolutely STOLE that.

ditto.

Great work. I've got a vert near the top of my to do list. Although mine will be replica stock. I like the tips / corrections to the body.

I have one kit thats off limits to glue or paint. A sealed Barry Setzer Vega funnycar. ( Ive got 3 or 4 builders so Im good with it ). Only because it's one of the few kits I remember having back when new. Otherwise every kit I have is a planned build. My 59 Edsel was a near mint unbuilt kit when i started. I have a mint untouched 62 Buick conv and a mint untouched 1960 Edsel conv. I bought them both to build

Mind if I ask where the decals are from

High dollar builds with loads of aftermarket isn't something I'm interested in. I don't do contests, as I build for my case and my case alone. Thats said, I think the most I've got tied up in any single one build is maybe $100 , $125 at the very most. Now,that said . I may have that or more tied up in a kit. But keep in mind, I tend to buy vintage kits and old annuals. And I have a few I've paid over $100 for. Those are mostly curbsides and other than maybe $10 in paint. Thats pretty much tops them out investment wise. BUT,,,,I dont really need to keep track of my spending on MY version of a HOBBY. My bills are paid my wife and I pretty much buy what we want , and my 2 girls don't go without what they may need.

agreed. I like the 67 the best. Mainly due to the uniqueness of it.

Im in. This is one of my favorite kits. Ive done a few of them ,,,, And I have maybe another 3 or 4 to build. fyi, Both Testors and Tamiya have there own version of champagne gold. I've use them both for the interior . Also fit and re-fit the grille to the body around the headlight to fender attaching area to get the best fit. if not the thing hangs and leaves a gap on the top near the hood

yes. Based on the recently released all new fast and fuious kit

slang term for distributor

Gee thanks, Now Im looking for a clean 1967 Bonneville kit ( builder ) Did a google search just now, and I think I'll stick with just a 67. Dont care much for the 68 or newer front end Already have a nice 65 Gran Prix done.

Yep, No roll bar in either of Lawman 64 Plymouth

On vacation this past week in . But still kept an eye on some plastic for the pile. Picked up an unbuilt Johan 64 Dodge . I already have a few of them but for the price I just couldn't pass it up. Especially the fact its molded in a light cream color ,,,,an almost white. Came from one of Facebook groups I'm part of And a decent builder MPC 1970 Mercury Cyclone off Ebay. Ive been trying to get either an original issue 70 or 71 Cyclone for a while now .

unless it had chrome tips. All barracuda or cuda had the notched rear valance. And all AARs had the notched valance

great. Jus what I need. More to add to the want list. Just when i think I've found all I need/want. More cool subjects grab my attention.

when i asked him about them. I had to buy a body to get them. I passed

I'm Prob a my gonna wish I handy asked this. But was a convertible 67 to 69 kit made. These cars have never done much for me. But I could be talked into it of its a droptop.

Sounds familiar. Ive been known to blow off mowing grass / home chores before to work on models. So I guess I deserve it . But my wife has told me before it sure beats the alternatives. I'm not out running around or hanging in bars. I think we ALL have to have a hobby to keep our sanity.

These are some of the earliest pictures I've seen of the truck showing its 1st power plant. Best I can remember it was basically robbed straight out of the A990 based Race Hemi bins back then I used to have the original build article ( lost it in a PC crash a few years ago ) That is killer for details on how it was built

Pay close attention to the door and hinge fit and they will operate as designed. Mine ' did ' ,,,at least until I dropped it. Sadly they are now permanently glued shut. I've always wanted to replicate the one above. But with no source for the white lettering I never moved forward with the idea .

I hate to hear of any company going bellyup. Especially a smaller hobbyist owned company like them . But to be honest, It would have zero effect on me. Actually I could never buy another kit in my life time and I have enough stashed away to take me to the end of my days . The past few years Ive been stocking up my planned retirement builds stash. And to be honest 90% of them have been old annuals not produced in the past 30-40 years . The other 10% has been extremely selective as to subject matter,,,,,irregardless of manufacturer.

very nice My dad bought one that looked exactly like it in 1973 . Although his was a 6 cyl 3 spd. on the tree

I don't build much outside box stock anymore. Ive done my share of drilling and wiring up dist caps and engines for many years in the past. Now if I want to add that kind of detail ( which is rare anymore ) . I use these,,,,,might I suggest http://www.madmodeling.com/store/ for $5 ea. how can you go wrong. Avail in all kinds of wire colors and dist cap colors to fit most any need
