I was just thinking about this build a few weeks back. Was wondering of any updates

Agreed, 100% I love the overall look of these cars. backend especially . And especially in BLACK . But my 1st one of these will probably be in white with Packer Pontiac markings

Very Cool. I actually have one of the white hats .

Ditto. I've already done the Beswick 62 . And have the decals to do the 7-11 Packer Pontiac of 1961 . But to be able to do a Beswick 61 as well would be cool

The Deora has one. The Lindberg 1964 Dodge has a better one

A non rallye dash in an E body is nothing like the dash in a Valiant/duster. I just looked thru all my A body kits and and the MPC mid 70s dart kit has a non rallye dash in it. I can get a picture this weekend to confirm if you want

The tool on that kit is probably 20-25 years old.

For a non metallic color dont be afraid to look at plasticote, duplicolor, true value and many more. just cruise the paint isles in hardware stores, discount stores, walmart, auto parts stores ,,,,,,etc etc etc . I think you'll be quite suprised to what you will find . Especially pastel colors popular on the early cars. I was in True Value recently window shopping for something entirely unrelated to model cars wehn I went past the paint isle ,,,,,,,,and saw all kinds of colors that would look good on 40s and 50s cars , I picked up a the paints in a rattle can to do a pale yellow with a light bronze interior 1959 Ford I have planned for here very very soon. Spray it on a test piece to ck compatibility issues . then go from there

He has owned it since about 1978 or 79. and if I remember right he only paid something like $3000 for it then. So if you need something let me know. it might take me a week or so to get it, but can get pictures of about anything on the car. Underneath pics are tough ,,,as he doesnt own a lift to raise it up When I gave him the build, he said the kit has the rear defrostor on the rear pkg tray shelf ,,,which is a pretty rare option on the actual car ( his car doest have it) Something I thought was odd , is an outside rear view mirror was not even an avail option on the 1/1 cars. . Same thing for backup lights

his is red on the bottom of the body. black suspension pieces and chassis . Its 60 years old and is dirty but very solid This is his actual car and the model. You are gonna really like the kit. Its probably my favorite kit I've built in a long time.

When I did the 55 I built last year. I think I used Krylon dull aluminum for the engine. and Duplicolor cast iron for the trans A good friend of mine has a nice unrestored 1955 C300 so I used it for reference,,and gave him the model once it was done

I bought a body from him a few years back. Thru Ebay . Received it pretty quick and is pretty nice . BUT, . This was before I was active on any forum boards and barely used the internet at all then.. I've not ordered anything since and knowing what I know now,I never will

Cant argue with that coice , especially with your touch on the tri tone interior.

It just hit me on this car and the 65 Plymouth ,,,,,,,so the glass glues on from the exterior of the car. ? doesnt that make it extremly tedious to attach without signs its glued in what about cleaning paint off the body where it attaches , does it show ? Is the rear glass the same way ? Just seems like it making it harder for the next generation to enjoy . I guess I need to get these 2 kits and see for myself

I can just see the look on my wifes face now , when I tell her I want her old pantyhose. But honey its for my models ,,,yea right

Never in my wildest dreams did I think here would be a stryene kit produced of an AFX Mopar kit. The model gods have heard my pleas . I've been toying with the idea I need to buy several more of the Speed City resin kits over this winter,,,,I will have to rethink that one

Very nice, I've been trying to obtain one fo these, just havent been able to make it happen yet .

with a good primer base you can use most any paint on it I use Krylon or Duplicolor engine enamel paint for all my engines . IMO,,, spray a test piece first

lots of differences between 1965 versus 1966 1965 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plymouth-Barracuda-Formula-S-/281892074904?forcerrptr=true&hash=item41a213b598:g:Yy4AAOSwHPlWeZ11&item=281892074904 1966 - http://www.velocityjournal.com/images/org/2012/581/pm1966barracuda58149429.jpg

same here. i would be all over a new tool 1961 300

I'm not 100% sure But I think SMH is a dealer for others peoples products. My gut tells me this is no different I've bought Competition resins pieces from them as well as dozens of decals ,,never one problem

I would be pleasantly surprised to see anything that hasn't been issued anytime/sometime in the past 20+ years

I've never received kits for christmas..this year was no exception. I buy far to many throughout the year...all by myself

I've used guitar string ( fyi,,,its very tough to bend though ) But looks great done.Especially for park brake cables. I've also used beading wire from Micheals . As for attaching it to the chassis I use pieces of a smaller gauge beading wire
