Ive been out of town all week, But while I was gone several items got delivered. A pair of stock hubcaps for my extra 1960 Lincoln convertible builtup A used chassis from a 1958 Buick dealer promo . I wanted the OE stock wheels for my 58 annual builder,,the rest will go in the round file bin A decent builtup MPC 1969 Coronet RT hardtop last but not least. Finally bit the bullet and bought some storage boxes. I only needed maybe a dozen, But with a cross country move planned in the next 18 months to 2 years. I'll need make good use of them then .

Dual 68 Chargers - a new build and a restoration
gtx6970 replied to Kmb0319's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I really like the color choices here. But just as an fyi, there is no carpet on the lower sides of the doors on a 1/1 1968 Charger -
Well, if you dont care for it. send it my way and I will be more than happy to dispose of it properly for you.

Happy American Model Car Day!

i like April 26th better -
the Hemi car kit doesn't / never had fender well headers . Actually I don't remember ever seeing any Hemi car with fender well headers Im sure I may have a few sets of the Max wedge kit fender well headers ( probably have 8-10 of the cars in various levels of condition ) ps, I dont think the Landy 1962 or 63 Plymouth had fender well headers on it,,,at least I cant see anything Ps, Im not 100% sure if he ever ran a 64 with a max wedge. All the pictures I have on file of his 64 are the Hemi car shown

Roger, which style are you looking for ?
-
Found this of an old fred cady sheet. It says black interior,,,but am 99% certain the info I found years ago showed it had red interior still looking for more though
-
I have the same kit ( amongest several other pre-war classic kits ) Ive done this search before myself And have found conflicting info . BUT, this Looks to be an unrestored engine. the article itself http://www.executivestyle.com.au/diamonds-gem-still-sparkles-80-years-on-1lym6

this isnt the monogram body is it
-
Yes ..it was a real car. Ill ck my files and see if i have any pictures on the pc
-
If you can,,,make sure they are in fact Cady decals. I've heard rumors of someone making photo copies and selling them on ebay ( its not Southern Motor Sports btw . ) I built this car several years ago with the Lindberg kit and Cady decals . And to this day is one of my favorites
-
A quickie build so to speak. Painted it a few months ago when it was still warm out. Just simple Testors bright red . Interior is Tamiya deck tan ( Trust me its tan,,,,,,even though it looks grey in these pictures ) Box stock except the rear tires are from my parts box as I didn't care for the same little tires on all 4 corners and some embossing powder for carpet. I left the engine itself out as you cant see it once the car is complete anyway ...so consider it a curbside build This is the ERTL blue printer issue that was molded in red from many years ago. And has been hiding in my stash for far to many years . Its one of my favorites as I used to watch the show religiously when I was a youngster . ( Just noticed I forgot to do the bare metal foil to the window frame. will have tend to that asap )

Anyone know of any model shows / swap meets this spring / early summer. ? Maybe even consider some early fall depending on how well sales go Looking from the Columbus Ohio east area And Indianapolis Indiana to the west . and maybe Lexington / Louisville Ky to the south . North I thnk no farther than Dayton Ohio. Basically within about an hours ( 2 tops ) or so drive from Northern Ky Thinking I may want to hit a few this year. Ive decided to try and this down to some degree. Mostly $ 10 to $20 kits produced in the past 20 years or so None of my vintage collector kits are going anywhere . My buying has become extremely selective this past year or so,even bought some modern kits I wish I hadn't .
-
Very nice. I have one on the workbench right now actually. Body is painted , engine and chassis is done and Ive been trying to decide on an interior color ( not that one can see it anyway thru the red glass )
-
An old R+R resin copy of the Johan 1969 GTX. I have to admit the body is REALLY nice . My plan is chop the roof off of it to replicate my old car . Probably use the interior and chassis from the AMT version. The resin chassis is so twisted I dont I can even save it anyway.

What Color Was the ORIGINAL Monkeemobile?
gtx6970 replied to Snake45's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You didn't have to say THAT. Now I really feel old. It was one of my favorite shows on TV back then . I'm surprised its taken me this long to actually build a model of it. -
What Color Was the ORIGINAL Monkeemobile?
gtx6970 replied to Snake45's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Agreed I painted the body to mine maybe 2 or 3 months ago. And I think I used plain told testors red . For Interior color I am going with is Tamiya light deck tan with a flat clear top coat A good question is when did the car get the lettering on the doors ? I can find all kinds of pictures with and without it . -
What Color Was the ORIGINAL Monkeemobile?
gtx6970 replied to Snake45's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not to rehash an old thread. But I have one of these in paint now. and was doing a google search for info and found this old post In an article I found last night where one of the cars was under going restoration. They stated the original base car they started with was blue, It was initially painted a candy red, but due to filming issues the car was repainted a bright red very early on -

gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
WOW,,,, Thats perfect. almost as if they were thinking if me many years agao. Ironic part is ,,,in the 1/1 world you use the repop ford horn ring to repair/ restore the often damaged Mopar versions -
Steering wheel source ????
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
1970 Chevelle got me thinking. Ive got an AMT kit in the stash. so went looking for it and I think it might be close enough. Thanks all -
Anyone know of a kit containing a steering wheel even close to the one on the right ? Its the optional 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner / GTX rim blow wheel ,, It doesn't have to be 100% dead on, but close enough I can work with it.
