1/16 Scale Army Vega Funny Car - Finished 10/14/2018
gtx6970 replied to Mooneyzs's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Looking real good. And so did the Vikings btw. Mike Zimmer definitely has the defense hitting on all cylinders -
I went ahead and picked one of these up. I have to say ...im impressed with the overall body proportions. Glad to see the door scallops get subdued down some( the scallops on the 68-69 body were much to pronounced ) The grille is nice. Interior details look good. Im for one glad to see the body done without the door scoops

SOME NEW GOOCHE DECAL INFO.......
gtx6970 replied to AC Norton's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Got any kind of a list ? -
IMO, a delay is ok. Of a few days . But IMO when I order something and I get a tracking number I expect that item to be shipped within a reasonable time frame. 4 to 6 weeks is NOT an acceptable time frame

I REALLY want the boat ,, maybe even a few of them the rest,,,,,,,,,,meh. Think I'll pass

How did you get started in model building?
gtx6970 replied to slusher's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ive always been something of a gear head car guy. As early as i can remember to about age 8 or 9 maybe (would be about 1968 or so) One day while walking around in Sids Elsmere Drugs in Elsmere Ky . I had allowance money burning a hole in my pocket..... i spotted a model kit . I bought it,,,,, and have been hooked ever since. Sadly i dont remember the kit...but i think it was a plane kit. Once i started building cars...its pretty much the only thing I've built since -
1969 Dodge Coronet R/T, 10/17, So Close I Can Taste It!!
gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Oh come one, triple green . that car is screaming for the deluxe hubcaps ( same as whats in the Revell 69 Dart kit ) OR a set of recall wheels out of the MPC 69 Barracuda kit. ( i have extras of each of you want / need them ) -
unless MCW makes it.....i dont remember seeing in any spray can anywhere You could have it mixed locally. im lucky ......A jobber near me that can mix as small as a 2 ounce sample

64 Dodge 330 'Ramcharger' strait front axle
gtx6970 replied to fiatboy's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
The only 64 Dodge that ran a straight axle that I'm aware of was Landys silver car ( it still exists today ) I'm not saying it didn't exist back then,,,Just this Is the first I've ever heard of it and I've never seen pictures of a Ramchargers car with a straight axle . Just for the record,,,this isn't a straight axle car. Its one of the 2% cars,,,,,its where the front suspension is moved forward ever so slightly -
He definitely has a client base with deep pockets, and if he can consistently get that kind of coin for his builds...I say more power to him

Cant say I've ever seen a straight axle equipped Ramchargers team car -
Put some slicks on that bad boy and lets go racing. With a little bit of work they can be made into a very nice shelf piece

Yep. Winchester grey. If i remember right its paint code GA4

Fixing a 1960 promo body
gtx6970 replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This is the problem with most of the early promo cars...they dont just warp.....they shrink. In my experience..fixing one is futile. IF .....you can straighten it. The warp comes back in time -
Thanks fellas. Its gonna stay exactly as shown.....except maybe a little dusting. Not going to touch up or change anything

1969 Dodge Coronet R/T, 10/17, So Close I Can Taste It!!
gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Nailed it. -
Excellent,,,and I agree. this car gets a bad rap I'm not 100% sure it deserves. Once built it looks pretty good in the case. But I will say some Bare Metal Foil does wonders for it

Johan 1962 Plymouth Fury conv.
gtx6970 replied to Nova-ss's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I recently picked up an up top for the Johan 62 Dodge and/or Plymouth kit off Ebay You just have to be patient they do pop up for sale from time to time ( problem is now i cant find the kit I bought the top for,,,but thats another story ) -
While looking thru my stash for something completely unrelated. I found this one. With a few recent threads on similar builds I knew I had built one long long long ago but haven't seen it in years and didn't know if I even still had it. I built this car something like 25 or 30 years ago. And Lord knows how long its been in stashed away in a box. But not any longer. It'll sit proudly on the top shelf of my display cabinet from now on and absolutely nothing will be changed. Its crude by most members standards ( including my own ) But its one of the oldest kits I built many many many years ago that I still have . I think its an old MPC kit ??? It's all rattle can paint using a cardboard mask to allow some degree of over spray to get the fade paint job . And I have no idea where individual parts or decals came from. There is a fuelie Vette small block motor in it,,, might have been from the same kit ???? Thanks for looking.
