I just ckd the intake in my 62 Chryser 300 kits. Its not even close to accurate of an actual 62 or 63 dual carb intake. IMO I think one could scratch build a more accurate piece using a modern tooled piece as a start

Ive seen the MCW resin 66 Plymouth and Dodge in person. if thats all there is avail. I'll pass.

Thanks all. The sole purpose I bid was to win the 60 Plymouth. I felt ' if' ' it was nice ( it is btw ) it was easily worth my max bid . All the rest would be resell or trade fodder. The Superbird is nice enough I'll keep it. The paint on the 65 GTO is decent so I may just clean it up,,,,,,and do some detail / bmf work and put it in the case ( I don't have one built ) All the rest is going to go away ,,one way or another. btw,,its a 68 Camaro. and am pretty sure its not an original annual ,,,I'm thinking a mid 80s version . Again, I don't have one in the stash so I'm not opposed to redoing it as a Dave Strickler drag car ( much later on) The Vettes are an original AMT 68 and a 65 . Both have the hardtop glued on . Best I can tell all the emblems are intact on both . And a surprise was when they showed up was the original box for both the 60 Plymouth and the 68 Vette.

I would be retired living comfortably in southern Az. Building models ..only when i didnt feel like walking out to the garage to work on one of several 1/1 cars. As far as the hot women.....i already have one of those so im good.

Thats a 64 Plymouth not a 66

Ok. Smarty pants. What was installed from mopar on all the 65 RO and WO Race Hemi cars.. Aka drag car packaged versions. Its my understanding it was NOT the stock cast iron manifolds

?

These are the style Mopar installed on every Hemi equipped Dodge and Plymouth in 1964 and 1965 . The 1st inch or so is a cast iron upper flange with steel tubes welded on . Not impossible to find today, but not exactly growing on trees either. Most were discarded early on in lew of actual steel tube aftermkt headers.

Those are what the Mopar world refer to as the Tri-Y manifolds. To the best of my knowledge they were never installed on a Mopar production line car from the factory. EXTREMELY rare to find today

Thanks, this one has a lower vinyl top mldg,,,,but no texture to the roof of any kind

How do I tell the year of the el camino ? Considering none of this stuff is modern I have serious doubts its a NEW 68 ,,was there an original issue 68 and / or 69 ? The Camaro is I think an older issue 68 , The Imperial is one of the 'Hero' versions with all the western goodads ,,,so not sure the year ,,thinking 64 or 65 ? Its would need stock bumpers to build it replica stock The red Silouette isnt real bad and might even clean up pretty well with some detailing The Sentry funnycar , ,,doubts it worth anything by the time you add shipping. might offer it as a freebie with one or some of the rest The 65 Dodge is going to need the most work. The rear bumper and glass are both MIA and part of the cowl is broken , plus it has the custom hood . probably fixable,,,to someone else The white one in back is a Studebaker gasser looking thing with the twin blown engine and clear hood. I added up a value of $10 per car, and I got them for considerably less than that ,,IMO I think I did good. But was worried sick till they showed up. Hoping the 60 Plymouth was,,,, A - an original ( it is ) and B , not all glue bombed up ( it isnt ) . Best I can tell so far is its REALLY nice . With this haul and my other ebay buys last week, My toy fund took a hit bigtime last week. Bought two 1964 Buick convertibles and a 65 Buick hardtop. My plan is keep the best of the two 64 Buicks and off the other one. The 65 will stay with me to replicate the 1st car I ever drove / learned to drive in.

Thanks all for the kind words. I really do appreciate it. Yep. The Edsel is probably one of....if not my all time favorite build i have ever done. At the very least its in my top 5 ever. I absolutely love the color combination

Well, I took a chance on a junkyard lot on Ebay. In this mess is a near mint original issue Johan 1960 Plymouth. ( mainly the one I was after) An original issue Hero Imperial and original issue Johan Superbird with the metal axles . A so so 66 Monaco hardtop, I think an original issue 68 Corvette, Not sure what year the other vette is . The rest of just 'meh ' I'll keep the 60 Fury and the SuperBird, I'll off the rest to someone else

Take a Johan 1969 GTX annual kit and slice the roof off of it to replicate my old car . To be honest I am on the hunt for one to do just that. So if anyone has one they wish to cut loose of , PM me . even if its just the body. I have everything else to do the conversion.

Agreed, Ive always wondered why some ingenious resin caster hasn't done conversions for both of these . I would LOVE to have a clean 1966 Satellite - resin or plastic. I mean come on, Richard Pettys car alone should be the driving force. I Its beyond my skills to patience level to make my own. I am aware MCW offers a 66 Plymouth , but its a sedan not a 2 door hardtop. And I don't know of any others

I might have been able to justify the $39.99 price tag on the Lawman if they had the decals to do the entire car. Not just the lettering. When I saw the 'Cartograph ' badging I thought cool . All I have to do is paint it white,,,,,WRONG . I was seriously dis-appointed. The decals in all honestly dont look all that much better than my Fred Cady decals do . But hey, the box art is pretty cool.

1965 Pontiac is Light Iris metallic , OEM color for the year and model , I had it mixed locally. Its a base clear urethane . 1959 Edsel is Tamiya TS41 Coral blue

Do you need the 500 grille ?

No problem. I may try to make my own. Or anyone tried to use one from the AMT 57 Ford yet . ?

Right now it looks like a bomb went off in Micheals or Hobby Lobby so no pics. I need to sit down and organize ,,might even find some stuff I've lost

The box and meager description he has might say Charger 500. But BOTH bodies in that picture are Monogram Superbirds I would have to ck and make sure its complete. if it is I have an extra MPC charger 500 kit I'll cut loose of . I've got a couple of them . same basic kit as the old AMT Daytona kit ,,just molded in yellow

Snake, I need bumpers , front and rear with no guards front or rear. I want to build something VERY similar to this . I don't normally have an interest in hot rods / street rods,,,but this car just pops my buttons . Edit, I just ckd the kit I have ( green and white one on the box ) . It has bumper guards on the front,,,,but not on the rear. so all I need is the front without bumper guards.

Am I reading this right ? the bumpers on this Gasser version no longer have those ugly bumper guards on them.? Front or rear ? If so I'll buy one just for the bumpers

will do. If its in there...its yours as i have no use for it
