Ok, an update as this one is nearly complete. Thought I would snap off a few pics before heading out to the garage for the day . . Interior is done and in the body for the last time,,,, Although I'll touch up a few little places before I call it finished . Tires are painted ( that's not fun btw ) sprayed satin black then masked off with bare metal foil then spayed a semi gloss white for the sidewalls ) rear bumper + tail lights are in and Side mldgs are on the one side. If all goes well today. I might be able to finish it tonight after dinner

Ah, in Jersey I see. I know of a few pretty quick A12 cars in your neck of the woods ( a green one and a black one )

All Mopar big blocks ( includes Hemi ) Distributor is in the front and wired up counter clockwise on all B / RB Mopar engines.

small block

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

A dead mint still in the pkg . Danbury Mint 1956 Desoto convertible.

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 .

OUTSTANDING !!!!!! Love the color combo . now I want one for myself.

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

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.

same view on the actual car

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.

As far as I know all the Revell 1969 Camaro kits are all the same basic kit with drivetrain , hood and wheel changes

Looks outstanding. Hopefully you don't mind, but Hemi Darts never had power brakes. Otherwise it looks dead on an as delivered LO23

Steve, old buddy. any chance I can talk you out of the oval air cleaner and the chrome fender well headers off that tree

If its a metal chassis , its true promo and they are NOT stryene

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

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 .

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
