  1. I think the owens corning vette has them in it as well
  2. Ouch . Sold for over $800. Thats pretty good money for a readily avail kit. I watch his stuff from time to time . And the ones that usually bring top dollar are resin and/or conversion builds . I saw one where he converted a Missing link 2 door LTD to a 4 door ( very well done btw ) It sold for over $2200 . He had a R+R Ford wagon a while back that went over $1500. Where as a 60 Ford Sunliner annual build he did, barely broke into the $300 range . So imo its the oddball stuff that brings top dollar And Steve, I firmly agree your builds are easily as nice. If I could afford it, I would offer crazy money for the 58 Sunliner you did last year. That car is the one that got me started looking for old annuals. ( gee thanks buddy )
  3. Trickery with the camera....? I thought it was kit molded in clear . Very well done . To cool......love it
  4. I just krylon or duplicolor engine enamel on all my engines....over a good primer of course
  5. Same here. and that is the reason I stopped buying up 1/.18th scale diecast. Space is/will/has become an issue . . I have a case with probably over 100 builds in it, plus a few other cases with another 50 or so. And I am rapidly running out of room .Either I start selling some( not likely ) or find more display cases (most likely )
  6. sweet, I like the trans dipstick
  7. agreed 100%. Ive seen and even bought some really nice builds for far less than what he sells for. would love to have his customer base..
  8. I have extras of the hemi headers.....might even have a couple extra intakes. Not aware of anyone copying the exhaust
  9. Had a little bench time this morning ,,before going out to shovel snow. I have 2 pictures of the inside of this car, one shows a roll bar, one doesn't. So I decided to add one , also changed the pedals to reflect the 4 speed change. Also got the engine wired up with a MAD distributor. then did a test fit to make sure the headers clear the clear ( I think the headers are from the Revell 68 Charger kit ) . The molded in under hood wiring is just highlighted with a black sharpie, quick simple and easy . If I am lucky this one will be done by the end of the week
  10. Yep, as far as I know the Color Me Gone kit was the only altered wheelbase charger produced. To be honest I think the chassis from the AMT 67 Cougar funnycar is pretty close. ( I have them both and could ck if wanted ) Problem is I am almost positive the interior tins are very unique to that kit
  11. My bench is 4 ft from the ground.so my chair is a taller padded type with arm rests, it swivels and raises or lowers as needed . Next to my lighted magnifier, its the best investment I've made for modeling . I've sat there for probably 2 hours with no issues. Although getting once in a while is a good idea to just keep the circulation going in your feet and legs .plus grab parts, tools , paint, or refreshments.
  12. Mail man dropped this one off Saturday. I honestly don't think the car has ever had any paint on it. and 2 very small glue marks where it had something glued to the top of the trunk lid ( in the flat area so it;ll be a super easy fix ) . Chrome is near mint ,,But I do need to find a hood ornament for it . This one will stay pretty close to the top of the to do pile,,maybe later his year. .
  13. a convertible? say it isnt so . If I didn't already have a really nice one . I would be blowing your PM box up bout now.
  14. Agreed, If anyone on this board could run with him its you. I see he had glass fit issues front and rear
  15. wrong style cap for a max wedge car. pictured are 1969 thru about 1972 Dodge only
  16. FYI, the color me gone kit does NOT have the single headlight grille insert in it .
  17. The air cleaners are in the Lindberg Color Me Gone 64 Dodge. The single headlight grille is in most of the others( not the CMG issue ) I have extras of both if you need them the hubcaps I'm not sure of ,,,you looked in the 64 Plymouth version ?
  18. Scothorn Motors . About halfway between Hebron and Petersburg in northern Ky Was primarily a Chrysler Plymouth Desoto dealership . But they could get you any GM product brand new, no idea how they did it. But I've talked to multiple people over the years who they or there parents bought non Mopars new there. ( they didnt stock anything but Mopar ) Place closed back in the early eighties but I was there when the auction happend to buy nos parts and there was a lot of GM parts on the shelf . Its a bodyshop now.
  19. WOW,,,,,especially the color. Love it. If you dont mind me asking. Whats it like to gets models. kits or supplies in Russia ? Do you have hobby shops or is everything mail order. Just curious as Hobby shops are rare around here these days ( only 2 in the area now ,,neither of which is heavily stocked in models. mostly either trains or RC stuff )
  20. I know there are some out there in resin, But there is a set in the Revell Thunderbolt kit that's not bad ,,,,,,you just have to cut them apart as they are molded together
  21. Not sure I could put ' Delightful ' and ' Tofu ' in the same sentence
  22. Thanks , and yes they are Fred Cady decals . I bought them long ago to use on a Johan build that never happened. For some reason the pictures make them look yellowed ,,but in reality they are not ( or if they are its very very slight)
  23. Ok , curiosity go the best of me Ramchargers Dodge - Hemi with the wide hemi hood scoop Mavericks Dodge - Hemi with the 2 lump max wedge hood scoop Color Me Gone Dodge - Max wedge with the 2 lump hood scoop Pettys 1964 Plymouth - Hemi - no hood scoop The Black 64 Plymouth - is the odd duck. it has a big block wedge with single 4 barrel AND the slant six ( didn't see a hood scoop in the box )
