  1. 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.
  2. Agreed, If anyone on this board could run with him its you. I see he had glass fit issues front and rear
  3. wrong style cap for a max wedge car. pictured are 1969 thru about 1972 Dodge only
  4. FYI, the color me gone kit does NOT have the single headlight grille insert in it .
  5. 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 ?
  6. 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.
  7. 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 )
  8. 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
  9. Not sure I could put ' Delightful ' and ' Tofu ' in the same sentence
  10. 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)
  11. 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 )
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. Thems some nice figures
  15. 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 .
  16. 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
  17. depending on what your after ,,,,,,some are considerably easier to find than others. Tried Ebay ?
  18. Agreed http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/109786-are-there-any-video-tutorials-on-making-masking-tape-vinyl-tops/#comment-1562700
  19. 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
  20. FYI, posting pictures of the actual car isnt fair lol
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. This should be interesting. But gotta ask ,,,,,,Other than tail lights. is there anything on this thats T bird ? Engine is big block Mopar
  24. there is an original issue on the the bay now....but cant se the dash well enough to say
