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.

Vinyl dyes are hot, designed as such to penetrate vinyl and will most likely attack bare stryene.

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.

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 )

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

Like so

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

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

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

I've used Future on 3 different builds. All older buildups trying to bring back some shine to them. I wasn't impressed and will not be using it for that again. I do plan on trying it to dip clear windshields in a see if it makes them any better. clearer .

I think the kit is a Phoenix ? Either way It build into a really cool looking shelf model . I have one ,,,,, I built mine to replicate the 1961 Dodge Ramchargers race car

And I thought the train layout in Chattanooga TN. was impressive, Or the one at the Museum Center in Cincinnati OH. ,,,,,,,This is just plain unreal. . I cant imagine how many man hours are in it to build let alone upkeep for it .

The thing with these old funny car kits. I bet more than 3/4's of the racers back then the chassis was black. This is one example I have no problem with most of the parts molded in black ( that's how the original issue was ). The important parts ( the body and interior tins ) are molded in white. I'm SO glad to have this one back on the shelf ,,,especially now that it has the decals to do the decklid . I already have quite a few of the MK issues, and plan to get maybe a case of these here soon .

I plan to be there. Not putting anything in for the contest though I'll be there fairly early, but not staying all day . I'll be gone by noon I'll be wearing my A+M Hightech Automotive shirt, bright red with white lettering . If you see me,,,say hey .

Thanks,,,, I did paint several spoons this morning. I have maybe 5 or 6 different spray outs . Gonna pick up some Tamiya pure white tomorrow and see how it compares to my samples so far. . So far the winner is a Duplicolor with a Testors White lightening top coat. But I used the Tamiya as a base color on another build and I really like that look

I like it. They make a nice looking shelf piece. I think i've got one around here somewhere I've always though these cars looked like an oversize Comet

Some fine looking replicas here . If I had the room I would be looking for a bunch of these While the subject is hot. I see there was a 1958 chrysler 300 hardtop produced. Anyone know if a 1958 Chrysler 300 convertible was made...i have the 57s convertibles..but would like a 1958

I would rather a conversion of the whole kit to a 1958 ,,,but that's just me ...... The Ranchero ,,of any year does nuttin for me .Although I could see it happening pretty easily with the wagon a basis

I never thought about a nail polish. I guess I'll have to stop by Walgreens later today while I'm out

I use the spray on detailer , over decals and all . Never had a problem . Like said AFTER the paint has had time to really cure. It may be weeks or months before I do it. But I'm not opposed to taking them out once in a while to dust them and respray the wax either. Ps, I've used the paste wax type before but IMO its hard to clean up on a model.

The days they'll consistently pull over $100 is over. A kit will most every time. But the dealer promos rarely do 1968 Fury search of sold cars http://www.ebay.com/sch/Models-Kits-/1188/i.html?LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=41005&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_nkw=1968+Plymouth+fury&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc 1967 Plymouth Fury , again sold cars http://www.ebay.com/sch/Models-Kits-/1188/i.html?LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=41005&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=1967+Plymouth+fury

There was a time a turbine car would bring that , even then it had to be dead mint perfect ,then only if its an original and with the original box , make sure the hood ornament is in place. The later issues had plastic pins ( looks like a nail head ) holding the chassis in . Originals were a metal straight slot screw . I have an original and I gave $85 for it, with the box and the original sales brochure . But I've had mine for close to 10 years ,,maybe more As far as the Plymouth, need more info. But Its probably a 1968 Fury , they are/were usually white . I cant say I've ever seen or heard of a trouble shooting version in green ? Might a sticker transplant from another car? maybe ?????? Either way its no longer a big money piece. Promo prices have taken a hit over the past few years.

Thanks for the build tips. I'm not after 1000% accuracy,,just a nice display model for my case. My daughter built a snap kit of the Batmobile so I want them in the same case,,,maybe just not side by side So far I think I have all the waves and sink marks fixed in the body . I put it in ( i hope ) its final coat of primer this morning. I'll let that set for a day or so then prep it for paint .. I did a lot of sanding on the back end of the body to get the rear bumper to fit as best I can. The front one actually fits pretty good out of the box,,,go figure. The top bubble will be ok I think. I haven't decided if I'll glue it on or leave it loose so it can be removed to see the interior better or not I was at my LHS yesterday and I think I now have some colors for the interior . So I'll do some color tests on spoons this weekend to ck colors . So hopefully I'll be painting the interior maybe the 1st of the week

Nice,,,,very nice. I want one

Thanks. Seems the more i sand on the body to straighten it out...I find more sink marks which means more filler mixed up.
