I could be wrong but I don't think a early style Hemi was avail in anything after 1958 . and even then I think the only car that was Hemi powered in 1958 was the Chrysler 300

Mail man just dropped this one off. And Yes,,,,my piggy bank is still moaning and groaning for this weeks buys Thanks Jamie

Very nice

Thanks fellas, And yes, Even though I have a few more detailed builds in process. I have to get inspired to work on them.,,,and inspiration / inclination is far and few between . Ive been on more of a simpler easy builds path lately. and enjoying the ride much better.

Another one that I had mostly painted from back last fall. Its a re-issue of one of the kits I had as a kid . And wanted to replicate one from a long ,,, loooong time ago. Painted in 2004 Dodge Neon Solar Yellow (I had it on hand because of my daughters personal car,,,,,, it has a very subtle pearl tint to it in person out in the sunlight that I like ) Interior is basic blacks,,,you just cant see any of it thru the red tinted glass. I thought about using the clear glass from the street machine version,,,but if I did , then it wouldn't be the Badman kit I had as a kid . And I'm well aware of the kits faults and inaccuracies . The grille doesn't fit the body right , the hood doesn't fit right and not totally because of the grille , and the decals sucked. The cow catcher front spoiler was left off intentionally. And I cant decide if I like the chrome tank in behind the grill yet or not,,,so for now its in the parts box . But I love it . And I'm glad I finally have one back in my display cabinet as an adult.

One of my grail kits finally coming thru . Ive been after one of these for several years now and always get beat out at the last second. Not this time baby....... I watched it all week on ebay and it stayed reasonable ( as reasonable for what a 68 Coronet usually sells for ) I threw a pretty decent bid at the last few seconds and low and behold. I won,,,and for considerably less than my top bid. All there and completely unpainted / unmodified . This one will probably stay pretty close to the front of the build line. And it will NOT be replica stock . You guys can thank me,,,,, as now that I have one. Someone will announce there is going to be an all new tool produced here soon.

But wow it looks good

Steve, I think your in box is full. I tried to send a pm but it gets rejected

Don't take this as gospel because I'm not all that up on this era Mopar cars . But I think the basic body shape and chassis and underpinnings are shared with a 58 or 59 Desoto. Plymouth I has a considerably different roof line and overall body shape,,,plus has a different wheel base . My personally would like to see a 59 Dodge, as long as it has the interior. Theyre not terribly hard to find and if your patient can be had reasonably,, costs wise . So my gut says this isnt gonna happen ,,,but Ive been wrong before

Good deal. . Getting the younguns interested is a win win

I would be interested in a 1970 Plymouth Fury GT , 2 door only. Any of the rest,,no thanks A - if its complete ,,maybe less drivetrain or something. But for me I need the complete interior ,chassis ( promo style is fine ) , the body and hood , the bumpers - grill and glass. If the hood is molded shut not a problem B - if its of modelhaus -or missing link quality . Ehter of the 2 I'll buy site unseen. Otherwise it needs to be in my hand for inspection prior payment

I bought one of the recent issues this past winter at a swap meet for less than $15 . My only plan for it is a parts kit .

No polish - no clear. Just sprayed the grey primer. Sanded it with a scrotchbrite pad and then topcoat it with the "chrome"

sounds like you have this one

74 and 76 Chargers share nothing. the 76 is closer to / same as a Cordoba than anything else

The voices in my head talk to me A LOT

Not sure how well you can see it. But the interior tins on this one is Duplicolor chrome straight out of the can over grey primer. Gives it sort of a polished aluminum look to it

OH MY .!!!!!!!!!! So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, whats going over top of this ? I'm taking the pinstripes will remain the clear red, then something else to be a top coat over top of the red and the flames . I'm not a huge fan of customs per say,,but I love this one so far

Sweet, These kits build REALLY nice. I built one last year for a friend. I Plan to build both another 55 and a 56 here soon

Outstanding work. I just picked up some paint for one of these this past weekend . Going to be Vitamin C orange Hemi auto . Replica of a good friends car

Nice looking build.

Thanks all for the comments. Head light lenses are in, side markers are done. Found and glued the sunvisor assy in. Wheel centers are detailed in white like his old car. His car originally had hubcaps ,,,I found out he added the wheels a long time ago from another car. Its DONE and in my case for safe keeping till next time I see him,, which will be in the next few weeks I'm sure. Although I might surprise him and stop by his house maybe one day next week . Thanks again, I appreciate it

Yes, plain old Testors enamel. with Testors wet look clear over it . Ive done a couple this way with no issues

Cool ,,,,,,Ive head horror stories about these kits. Yours is making me think I now need one

No stryene kit ever made. but there was a resin conversion kit produced. I think it was missing link whom made it ? I personally wish someone did a 58 conversion,,,mainly just side emblems needed
