Not sure I could put ' Delightful ' and ' Tofu ' in the same sentence

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)

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 )

I think the Color Me Gone and the Maverick kits do. I know the Ramchargers is a hemi car. Don't remember about any of the others. I have them all if you need confirmation

Actually got to spend a few minutes at the model bench this week . And again concentrating of finishing some long stalled projects. This one is the 1964 Dave Strickler driven Bill Jenkins tuned Hemi Dodge. I had painted this car nearly 2 years ago,,,After multiple issues painting the hood multiple times , I got disgusted and put it away. Well that all changed when I found the can I used to paint it * its a duplicolor rattle can . So in the purple pond went the hood and I tried again, with much better results this time around. Sprayed the hood, (thankfully it now matches the car ). Dug out some parts box pieces to throw a crossram hemi 4 spd together . Plan is work on it the next few weeks to get another one off the bench and in the case. On this one I put some spacers under the leaf springs and I flipped the front spindles over and I really like the stance much better than the others I had built . , Just noticed I need to change the pedals to reflect the 4 speed change. Also, since these pics were taken I have since removed the vent window frames to reflect the actual car. Comments more than welcome. And thanks for looking.

Thems some nice figures

Sure looks a lot like the rags laying on my shop bench at the moment,,,grease stains and all ( I had to build a Mopar transmission for a customer of mine this week ) Edit, I saw a picture some time ago where the builder used this method to make a green tarp over a car. Using a paper towel with a green tinted glue /water mix. It looked EXACTLY like a tarp , texture and all .

The new Melrose Missle 65 Plymouth I assume ? My local hobby shop has them on order ,,,not aware of any special means to get them . If thats the kit in question

depending on what your after ,,,,,,some are considerably easier to find than others. Tried Ebay ?

Agreed http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/109786-are-there-any-video-tutorials-on-making-masking-tape-vinyl-tops/#comment-1562700

refinding kits long forgotten is a good thing. Its the not being able to find what you know you DO have is the hard part. Just about a month ago I was rooting around in some boxes and found a Johan Superbird I forgot I had. I started it nearly 15-20 years ago and put it away for some reason . Its now on the bench and WILL be completed later this year . Its a replica of a friend of mines Petty blue w/ white interior car . sixbarrel auto

FYI, posting pictures of the actual car isnt fair lol

it would be in my stash. I replied earlier in this thread , the weirdest piece I have is a Corvette. .Yea, I'm boring that way.

Not actually HERE yet. But I did manage to snag a couple of old annuals this weekend. An original issue 1961 Ford Sunliner with the up top. As well as an original issue 1961 Impala convertible. Both appeared to be pretty decent and will go in the stash for a later date. I have another 61 Ford builder,,but this one was much more complete then mine.

This should be interesting. But gotta ask ,,,,,,Other than tail lights. is there anything on this thats T bird ? Engine is big block Mopar

there is an original issue on the the bay now....but cant se the dash well enough to say

I have 3 of 1963 Plymouth kits, 2 each of the 62 Dodge and Plymouths and they all have the exact same dash ,,neither of them look like either of these shown here

Although I do enjoy looking and following along on all the super detailed builds. But for me personally I dont have the drive, inclination or patiance to do them myself anymore. And I dont do contests so my builds are for me and me only . About as far beyond box stock I go anymore is carpeting (in a convertible only ) and some underhood wiring ( spark plug wires and battery cables ) On a funnycar build I MIGHT add some fuel lines bacause they are so visible ,,,but thats rare On a side note I am not above buying a kit already built if the subject is someting I like . But I'm a tight wad so its rare this happens

Not to mention the wheelbase is off slightly on the body compared the chassis . Otherwise I think they're pretty close

I've 2 or 3 of these I will ck mine this weekend

Johan 1969 Roadrunner kit . hands down

I thnk the Lindberg Maverick and color me gone are both max wedge cara

Done yet? Come on now, chop chop. Times a wastin. How about I send you my convertible and you send it back to me done as nice as this one . All just because your such a nice guy. No rush take your time if you want to think about it . I doubt I'll get to it this year ( or next for that matter )

Thanks for the kind words.Its one of my favorite cars. The parachute has since been added to it. But, and the more I look at it, the more I dislike the gold rear wheels. in 90% of the pictures I have of this car it has chrome wheels all around. So they will probably get changed here soon

Thanks I got a little chuckle out of that one. Got my day off to a good start I have always liked the split window Vettes. I may have to pick one of these up here soon . Thinking black ( or silver ) with red interior Fuelie small block 4 spd.
