The rest

I just picked up an original art series of this kit this weekend. Sorry for not having pictures of the body and hood, its on the stand now in primer. other wise here is whats in the kit . It does have the green glass and some funky clear looking headlight lenses for the customer stuff I guess. No side glass of any kind

Here is a model king issue i built last year.....i have an original issue soapy sales car and they sure look like the exact same kit to me.

I just picked up one yesterday. I can snap off a few pictures later today

Very very nice

I built the recent model king issue . and it doesn't have a coil spring suspension

Mine is in a big flat box, and its molded in white. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions of this kit released. Had it been molded in this aqua color you mention , I probably wouldn't have bought it

I picked up some paint today. Guy said to thin it to spray I need to use a reducer ( color is a base / clear urethane based ) Do I need any special kind of reducer or thinner ? I already have some regular enamel reducer here,,is it ok to use ?

Oh my, that right there is drop dead gorgeous. I think this may be the color when I re-do my 61 Imperial builtup

I stopped in my LHS this morning looking for something else. ( thus didn't have it ) But I did walk out with one of these under my arms. The 65-66 Gran Prixs are one of my favorite ponchos from the era . So I had just had to have one. On my way home with i,,,, I stopped by one of the local auto parts stores looking for some duplicolor paint for another build. And ended up having him custom mix the paint for the Grand Prix instead. So this one will go to the front of the line. he worked with me to get the finest metallic he had. Its called Iris Mist poly. a very light purple metallic. Once done it will look exactly like this one .

? Its the exact same kit....just different decals and box art

This one has been on the stalled list WAAAAAAY to long . And its getting extremely close to the next in line spot. Its been in this exact same condition , for something like 15 years or so. Original issue Johan 1970 Roadrunner . Going to be a replica of my old car. Black 1970 - Road Runner, 440 six barrel 4 spd. Mine was a black bench seat interior so I am planning to modify the revell interior to fit this body

The DOHC hemi isnt in either of them

Is it in the stock 1970 Bee.? For some reason I'm thinking it may be in the pro street version only

If you need better pictures of the up top or measurements,,,, just ask. Steve, I haven't fully decided just yet. But if it goes away,,,you'll be the first to know . The 61 Impala is my favorite early Chev. and I keep thinking I may build a few different ones, a hardtop as Dyno Dons drag car. a sedan as Dave Stickler drag a car. And 2 verts - one top up and one top down. I actually have the body for the Dyno Don car in primer now

Picked up another one. This is my 2nd 1961 Impala convertible built up. my other one I'm not sure will strip clean . Near mint shape,nothing ever painted , no goofy add on custom stuff,,, even included the uptop ( not sure I'll use it though ) An absolute pristine original box and the original parts were included.

Just a shelf, that's easy. I'm to the point of needing another display case. I keep thinking about adding glass shelves in one of the cases to make do for the time being,,,as I don't really have room for another big display case like one of these

I wonder what it would take to correct the side trim line ? Cut it out of the body , straighten it and re-install it in another body . either way, I like this one a lot . the black and light gold really work very well together

This is very true. But put them together,,, from what ? Mopar used vin designations to determine what engine the body had . And that vin starts with RO for a Belvedere sedan and WO for a Coronet sedan . But by VIN they are not Hemi cars. Just cars with a Hemi in it . Anyone have or know the vehicle identification number for any or all of the above 4 cars .Did they start life as a body in white like the AFX cars did, or were they cars pulled from the line destined to be something else ? I dont know .

Steve. I'll respectfully dis-agree. All the 1965 RO+WO (aka race hemi cars) were sedans. The factory built hardtop AFX cars on the other hand started off as a body in white i believe....i think .

again

Considering most of my case is Mopar drag cars. I could be here all day loading pictures . but here's a few

Some pretty good ones in the Johan recharged kit. edit, didn't the old issue of the MPC 66-67 charger had some Mickey Thompson cheater slicks in it ?. if so they are slightly bigger than the Johan version

Unless you find photos to back it up. these engines could have been orange or as a lot of racers did back then,,,,, it might have been black My gut feeling is this car was NOT a factory Hemi car . The Hemi was pretty much relegated to the sedan not the hardtop.

If you have the broken pieces, it'll be an easier fix than you think. If you have the broken pieces and don't want to fix it, pm me I would be interested in it
