  1. small block
  2. FYI, the above pic is not correct. #1 cylinder is drivers side front, not pass side on ALL mopar V8 engines . All even # cylinders are on the pass side . and all odd # cylinders are on the drivers side ( #1, 3, 5, 7 are drivers side + #2,4,6,8 are pass side ) These might help . And yes the Hemi is 18436572,,Actually all Mopar V8s are the same http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=426+hemi&id=C7D9E05474EF4C233CC23F201355B8139856C058&FORM=IQFRBA
  3. A dead mint still in the pkg . Danbury Mint 1956 Desoto convertible.
  4. WOW, I like it. I see your sits just as low as mine. I have mine sitting on all 4 wheels now and keep looking at it , thinking it sure looks low. But yet, I look at pics of the actual car and in one of the pictures I have, the top of the door isn't even waist high . So I guess I'll leave it as is .
  5. OUTSTANDING !!!!!! Love the color combo . now I want one for myself.
  6. just as an FYI, the air cleaner is for crossram Hemi only . Which obviously the Fury was never avail with . I have a few sets of the fender well headers but none are chrome . They might be something I need later on down the road
  7. i had thought about doing just that...but the glass doesnt sit perfectly flat/flush all the way around. So my fear is the front or rear section will not sit flat and not allow the center to go back in and look good/right.
  8. same view on the actual car
  9. What ya think, glue the glass on , or leave it loose to see the interior ? So far I think it looks pretty good ( maybe not 100% accurate but close enough for my case ). Interior is almost done. I need to come up with some round decals to replica what I think is the speedometer and a compass on top of the instrument panel. Then a dab of clear Elmers glue to top them off.
  10. As far as I know all the Revell 1969 Camaro kits are all the same basic kit with drivetrain , hood and wheel changes
  11. gtx6970

    68 Dart

    Looks outstanding. Hopefully you don't mind, but Hemi Darts never had power brakes. Otherwise it looks dead on an as delivered LO23
  12. Steve, old buddy. any chance I can talk you out of the oval air cleaner and the chrome fender well headers off that tree
  13. If its a metal chassis , its true promo and they are NOT stryene
  14. I sure hope so. I for one would like to see decals to do the Jim Hagen car, the Steve Bagwell car , The Dick Housey car, or maybe even the Arlen Vanke car. And many more I cant think of right now
  15. Now that I think about it,,,,,,,I seem to remember that someone was / is / or used to do decals for the Steve Bagwell car ? Its Blue and white , almost the exact same layout as the Butch Leal car Cady did do a Golden Command car, but technically its for the 64 car.( aka #6 ) and I think he did a sheet for the 65 AFX car. There 65 superstock decals were vastly different than any of there other cars. Not to mention it was a hardtop .
  16. Well, I did it. Its Tamiya pure white base, Testors white lightning top coat with Testors wet look clear to finish it off. I took multiple pictures both indoors and out , with and without a flash ( flash just drowns the picture ) and I cant get the pearl effect to show up at all , trust me,,its there. Interior is also painted, Testors aluminum for the seats and door inserts and flat black for the rest. I'll detail the steering column / wheel and instrument panel this week while the body gasses out . Then do a light rubbing out of the body before starting assembly.
  17. Vinyl dyes are hot, designed as such to penetrate vinyl and will most likely attack bare stryene.
  18. I like it, looks good so far I did one many years ago. And I think from time to time I need to do another one.
  19. I think you are correct, All black with white lettering ( or was it silver lettering ) . The car went thru a few changes over the course of couple seasons ( like many of them did back then )
  20. 99% of mine comes from my local hobby shop ( I have 2 within 15 minutes away ) , then Micheals, then Hobby Lobby About the only thing I've ordered online was bare metal foil , and that came straight from them
  21. Simple answer, Its not . Body is all wrong to the actual car, especially the roof line . The windshield was raked back pretty good compared to stock,,,as well as the leading edge of the roof was a good bit lower than stock. I think the chassis is reasonably accurate to the 1/1 ,,but probably not 100% dead on
  22. My understanding is its a superstock Hemi auto car. Sedan obviously , stock wheelbase with correct A990 interior I'll just holdoff buying any of the newly released sedan and get a bunch of these instead
  23. Dont hold me to it, But I think the decals to do the Chuck Ostrich car and the The Professor cars are both available The Chuck Ostrich car The Professor The Ferris Motors car Cant think of any others at the moment
