  1. I wasn't aware the Fuel Injection was avail on a lowly 58 Plymouth Fury? I thought it was only avail on the top of the line models from Desoto and Chrysler ????????. Ps, I've seen ONE 58 Fuel injection car in person ( the resto was in process at the time ) . I thought it was a Chrysler 300 But for the life of me cant remember for sure so it may have been a Desoto ( its been nearly 30 years since I've seen it ) EDIT, just did some quick google work . The 58 Plymouth was avail with fuel injection but it was on a RB engine . The only Hemi car with fuel injection in 1958 was the 300D and I'm almost positive there was a fuel injected 300 in Louisville I looked at many years ago http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=19270
  2. I think I just might have to get one of these
  3. PS, the 440 magnum in 1968 B body cars was turquoise NOT street hemi orange ( same goes for the 383 HP engines in 1968)
  4. Looks like the back panel of the seat is the same color as the vinyl front side Is that a chrome insert in the center of the rear seat ....what about the small molded emblem just below said insert ? Chrome i assume
  5. Any thoughts to remove that half molded master cylinder form the firewall and replace it with a much more accurate piece, say from the Mobieus Satellite or something ?
  6. 1 - do the bucket seats have a chrome trim that goes around the back rest portion of the seat? ( across the top and down each side ) 2 - does the piece in the center of the grille remain with the grille if the hood is up, or does it go up with the hood ( aka attached to the hood )
  7. When I do actually add that kind of detail. I wire them all in the correct firing order. It doesn't take any longer to do than not doing so
  8. Not a replica of an actual car as far as I know. But looking at the pics I'll bet its loosely based on the Axiur car
  9. correct...sort of. But there is at least 1 Daytona with a vinyl top (white top on a green hemi car) And two 500s with vinyl tops. One red hemi car and a Q5 turquoise 440 car. (both black tops)
  10. 1969 Plymouth GTX convertible.....followed pretty close by either a 1967 GTX conv...or a 1961 Chrysler 300 conv
  11. Duh, I had stryene kit on my mind and completely forgot about the promo version note to self, ,,,,,,, have morning coffee before posting online
  12. Johan made a 58 Cadillac kit ? 1st I've heard of this....my understanding is there 1st one was a 1959
  13. When I went to install the wheel sin my stock whitewalls . I noticed the white stripes were not perfectly round around the perimeter of the wheel. So I ditched them and used the AMT parts pack tires instead
  14. I'm not going to use the blue glass or the custom stuff in mine
  15. Essentially anything from about 1934 and older. Alfa Romeo , Talbot Lago , Figioni as some examples. ESPECIALLY this
  16. Many thanks fellas. Its sitting proudly . prominently on the case in the family room ...next to my daughters batmobile build.
  17. I have no problems when someone posts a picture in my build thread. I do think its in poor taste when someone starts talking about subject matter that has NO bearing on the subject at hand

    TV Batmobile

    VERY cool. One of my all time favorite cars. My 16 year old daughter built one last year. But I have another one for myself
  19. Sweet, I normally don't do planes . But after seeing one of these in the flesh a few years back. I keep thinking I want to do one for the shelf
  20. Very, VERY nice. Almost looks real. What year is it supposed to be ,, about a 29 or 30 ?
  21. i dont know if theres any truth to it....but i was told the reason the 71 road runner kit has remained mia is due to licensing issues
