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.

looks pretty good in my eyes

Steve. Its a picture from the ebay listing It does have an interior but i havent taken it apart to really ck it over yet. Its in the case till another day.

Agreed, to some degree . Rare doesnt always equate into valuable . But when it comes to Johan kits , they are / were the only game in town for a bunch of subjects back then . I personally dont ever see getting a new tool 1970 Cadillac at any time in the future . This why I said at $30, IMO its a no brainer To me about any Johan kit is worth upwards of $30-40 range and most can/will easily climbing into tripple digits on a regular basis . Even some builups are climbing near tripple digits consistantly. Just today I bought a builder 1960 Dodge Polara kit, and it cost me almost $80, not including postage .

Sorry but you better ck your source. No air grabber hood avail on anything Mopar in 1968 . Unless you count the 1968 Hemi Dart and Barracudas which is a forced air fiberglass hood and scoop

What he said, I've used Micro set on just about everything with no ill effects

Might pick up a couple of the 69 Barracudas, ( might ,,I have a few of them already ) Will definitly think about the 2 Pontiacs though. Otherwise ,,,meh

For $30, postage included I'd take a chance on it complete or not . And Im not a cadillac builder.

This one showed up yesterday. A decent Johan 1959 Dodge. I bought it exactly as shown. I could have done better, but I 'm not unhappy with it enough I plan to redo it anytime soon..

1, and I will be brutally honest. its going to depend on quality. 2- how complete it is . I can make my own chassis and running gear but making my own glass may be a deal killer for me. 3- at $65 for a complete W500 cab if its essentially complete, ,,,grille already chromed. complete interior and glass included and I'm in for at least 2,,,maybe 3 or 4 IF ,,,its a 4 door cab, but may be interested in a 2 door cab as well ( just not as many ) I already have a W200 4 door cab from RMR. Its ok but not modelhaus quality

How it appears today is 100% out of the question

WOW. The paint work to replicate that is going to be off the charts

Looks amazing, But have to ask, Why do the frame rails in black ?

I guess 'beauty' is in the eye of the beholder.

This is a non air grabber equipped car. They have a semi gloss black ribbed metal insert instead of the reddish/orange screens on AG equipped cars. As an aside, the dual black stripes were an option and has nothing to do with AG equipped or not . Ps, the air grabber was not even an avail option in 1968, regardless of how it was equipped.

I have a couple of the issues with the red car on the box and it has the 68 hood in it . FYI, an air grabber was an option on ALL 1969 GTX's and Road Runners , but Standard on Hemi cars The hood itself was the same, they just addred screens to the top opening / vents and then added the fiberglass air grabber box / duct work to the bottom side . I had read elsewhere on this forum that early 69 cars had the 68 style hood,,,this info is incorrect shown , is a 1969 hood. Air grabber cars have a red screen material in top of the vents

i might have to get me one of these , for a something different build
