I just tried the glass from this one. Not even close , WAY too short in all aspects I have a 59 Mercury kit here . I can use. Its a little better . But not perfect either Still going thru my annuals boxes as I have just about all the late 50- early 60ds builders I dont have one of the AMT 57 Ford kits here to try

I may have to give this a try , then maybe make the vent wing glass separately . I think the glass has some compound curves in it I may not be able to pull off Mostly scratches. a few you can hang your nail in . I've tried a polish I have here and no help. Looking for my bottle of Future now to see if I dip it will help

My front glass is a little tattered Anyone know of the windshield from the modern 1960 Starliner will fit? Ive tried the front glass from the revell retractable kit and its close , but leaves no room for error for install

Thanks, Yes, All stock build with full wheel covers and wide whitewall tires

Well, Interior is about done. Not to shabby for mostly freehand I can live with it Same colors as body , only semi gloss clear on interior, flat clear of top boot Black Flocking for the carpet

Thanks, I did not know that

Not aware of that. Got any pictures ?

That kit has chrome magnums. Not steel wheels and hubcaps

Picture?

I don't mind the cost of the sheet from STS. but would like to see it on a Kit Plus have to figure out how to get the texture a vinyl roof has ????

Is this the only source for this color of a Mod top for a 1969 Dodge build ? Anyone used it , If so Pics please I want to see how it scales on a kit Mod top blue green paisley Water Slide Decal Sheet – STSDecals

I'm thinking use a spare gts interior tub. Make a bench seat for my next one. It'll at least look the part I'm after.

Well, Today was an experimental day After some spoons color tests. with various Blues. I sprayed out the TS54 ( on the left ) and it was far too light....SO,,,,, I tried it directly over the darker TS51 on a spoon test ( on the right ) And . BINGO,,,,Its not a huge changed from straight TS54, But just enough I think It nailed the color I was after

That's what I was afraid of. Pretty much confirms my findings. Now to figure out how to get the texture under a decal

Well. Decision made. I couldn't live with it Plus I want to widen the hood stripes So....Taped It back up. And will Reshoot it later today.

I know the the 1968 Dart kits has 2 versions.... One with ( GSS ) and one without ( hemi dart ) a molded vinyl top. Is the 69 Dart non molded vinyl top only ?

Anyone have one avail? If so...let's talk

The Blue is too dark I think. It's tamiya TS51 I believe It has maybe 3 light coats over the silver I'll look this weekend and if i fid a lighter blue .....ill maybe tape it back up respray the blue The Dart is all decals btw

This

The coral is on the seats. I'll let it dry a few days. Then do the black.
