  1. Yep, so far it was gold interior like any other 64 Plymouth , no roll bar , push button auto, white engine compartment, orange 426 max wedge engine . fender-well headers . I was already pretty sure its gold interior and buckets . But wasn't sure of the little stuff like if the dash mounted push button shift was still employed then.
  2. Sweet, am in talks with Jim Hall via Facebook on some smaller details to replicate this car as best as I can
  3. Sweet, These cars look SOOOOOO good in black .
  4. Thats an understatement. You do pieces that I never even knew existed in real life ,let alone model form And Different is good. Either way , your diversity has made me consider stepping outside my usual subjects sometime because of it . I have some 20's and early 30s cars that may come to the front of the line sooner than originally planned . My dad is a retired rail road engineer . And I have considered building some sort of locomotive for him . Might have to seriously consider it sooner than later.
  5. Yep, the rear section is actually the spare tire well in the trunk
  6. What no splines on the half shafts? I'm so dis-appointed. LOL. On a serious note. working U joints in 1.25th scale is just insane . COOL, but still insane to even think was possible
  7. With all the bumps and edges it has to go over I wasn't confident tape would work . I had thought about maybe play-do I've never used liquid mask before so it never entered my mind........Might have to look into that. Spent a little time yesterday to start fitting Johan fenderwell headers to the Lindberg engine/ chassis ( that was fun,,,,,,,,,,NOT )
  8. flippen to cool
  9. Anyone know for sure on the interior for the Golden Commados 1964 Plymouth. #5 The white 1964 Plymouth 2 door hardtop. I am about 99% positive the car is a max wedge auto, but not 100% sure on the interior , color or bench or buckets ? I think its gold bucket seats but would like to be sure before I go any further on this project All I can find are pictures of the later 64 which is #6 ,,,,,which is a Hemi auto 2 door sedan with gold interior or the 65 AFX car PS, Anyone have any ideas on how to paint the wheels in the 2 tone treatment ? Masking them off I have a feeling is not possible without serious bleed thru this car is the one I am after info on
  10. Very true, The black Bonneville I posted above is done exactly as Steve G referred to above. ,,,same as the blue 60 Ford I posted . The Bonneville is on ebay and the ford is on my PB account To see where the image is hosted , right click on the pic and then click properties . It will show where its hosted. But I try to not use this method unless its going to be for a very short time to get my point across.
  11. I'll brutally honest. the style/ subject matter isn't my usual cup of tea. But,,,WOW, I like it, all of it , from the color choices to the overall look. But especially the uniqueness of the turbo 4 cyl is just plain cool . well done
  12. It's very simple to post photos from the internet. Just copy & paste. Find the picture you want, right click on it, click on "copy image". Then go to the forum, right click anywhere in the text box that you're posting in & click "paste". Now if you're using a device such as an ipad or other device without a mouse, I can't help you. I use my good old desk top computer & it's as easy as pie Sweet, that worked. I didn't know you could do that
  13. Duh, I Should refrain posting till I've had my morning coffee. I knew that, as I have a Johan 1960 here close to my desk
  14. Sent him a message thru facebook nearly a week ago, no answer. and he doesnt take pms here
  15. Johan 1959 and 1960 Cadillac were both 4 door AMT/SMP 1959 Oldsmobile was a 4 door( 1960 kit went to a 2 door bodystyle ) Promos , I have no info on. as I avoid any promo prior to about 1963 due to warp issues
  16. I know Missing Link was doing an early Ford F100. No idea the year or if its even still avail
  17. I have never once sprayed Testors silver of gold and not have it look blotchy or stringy looking. I quit using it for a topcoat on large areas several back. Now its used as an undercoat only.
  18. Harry, 1st, I am not familiar with that procedure. 2nd maybe its my pc, but to me PB is extremely slow to open/oad , if it works at all . I'll use it only as a last resort. I just loaded 2 pics here, took me less than 5 seconds to do them both. Once they've served there purpose and/or the thread dies, I'll delete them to gain board space to load others later on down the road. Again I can upload multiple pics in seconds
  19. A couple 2fers
  20. I click on the dodad that says - Insert image from URL. All I get is the little swirly thing going around and around, no image no nuttin. And I've tried using Ebay pics,Pics I used to have hosted on my internet providers server or just pics found on the web with the URL of said pic,,,,,same result, that little swirly thing . But yet they work just fine when posted elsewhere. Image linking issues are with this new server for the board. I have a photo bucket account and its a pain to load them there, then HOPE PB works like its supposed to ,,to link them here. I'll load them here and delete them off as needed once its served its purpose, or not at all
  21. I almost hate to say this, but its not that bad . Maybe in a different color it would be good / better. I'm not a flat black kind of guy . But I'd paint it a different color and drive it for a summer. Then right back up for sale in the fall
  22. WOW, I thought the 1st pic was of 2 real cars
  23. Very, very nice haul. I have both the 59 and 69 Buick convertibles. And the more I look at the 60, the more I think I want a hardtop as well to do some sort of hotrod / cruiser
  24. I read on another board. the Lawman was being tooled into a 2 door sedan like the Dodges are ,,,thus the delays. Anyone know for certain one way or another
