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

How about underhood tins for some early 70s Pro Stockers. Landys mid 70s Dart sport as an example

A few more to add to the stash. Actually won 2 - 1964 Buick convertibles. 1st one has the box and the up top. I think the drivers door is cut to open it ( didnt realize that when I made my bid. ) 2nd one looks a little better . so once I have them both in hand I'll keep the best one and the up top and I'll sell or trade the other And finally also picked up a 65 Buick hardtop . I usually don't go after cars with a roof. But my parents had one that I learned to drive in ( back in the mid 70s ) ,,,this one was reasonable so I thought what the heck and grabbed it to. Someday It'll be gold with black interior to replicate my parents old car.

Take a look at Tamiya TS41 Coral blue. Its a lacquer . this is top coated with Testors wet look clear with ZERO issues. Paint laid down nice enough for me I didn't have to polish anything.

Any chance of some pics of it in raw unpainted resin. Any ideas how to replicate at least the drivers cockpit area so one could be done with clear glass. The black glass turns me off I assume there is no chassis so to speak. Wheels just mount of the sides of the body as pictured ? Been thinking about this all morning, but no way can I spend anymore till after the holidays ( ebay was brutal on my toy fund this weekend )

I am going to have to think about this. I want one , But at $150 is going to make me think about it, maybe after the 1st of the year I assume there is no lettering for the sides or the nose included ? Anyone have any ideas or thought to replicate the lettering on the nose or the sides , I'm all ears.

Cool. Hey there buddy Make me a couple......dozen. Lol. We need some.different kinds of vintage mirrors. All the old Amt kits have the same square generick mirrors in them

Good idea, problem is coming up with a decent 1/25th scale 65 Mustang fastback. Other than the altered wheel base AMT kit, what else is avail ?

Steve. There was a nos mpc coronet glass on ebay a day or so ago

Never heard of him. but then I dont follow F1 or Indycar either. Before anyone yells at me, hear me out. I never followed either sport. Yet I know very well who Ayrton Senna , Emerson Fittipaldi or Nicki Lauda are,,,,, So its not like my head is in the sand either. Regardless I wish him well . Its takes guts to walk away at the pinnacle .

Sweet build. especially the dash work I just did one of these myself. My only beef was where it once had a vinyl top,,and the remains of the mldgs were a bear to remove - clean up . And the side emblems are real faint making them near impossible to foil after paint And although its not up to today's standards . I liked it. But then I like these simpler kits myself. I don't do contests so chassis detail really means nothing to me . This one is typical of most of my stuff today. Basic black and if I can see them ,,, I'll detail paint the exhaust tips and gas tank
