  1. I'm sure the reasons it's made offshore has far more to do with costs than anything else. I seriously doubt " Can't or Don't Want To " have anything to do with it.
  2. Same here . But...then again. I have an MPC 1972 Duster builder kit So that one is not tops on my list. But a friend of mine owns a 1972 Duster. So,,, I will be getting one to build his car
  3. 1960 chevy wagon. 1965 Barracuda 1972 Duster. Finally. Something I will open the wallet for. All 3
  4. Steve, I have not completely ruled out modifying the Revell dash just yet The upper dash differences are the 68 V shaped - thinner versus 69 straight across and thicker Im waiting on some aftermkt pieces for the car,,,, so its off the bench for now, While I finish up some other long ago started projects One being my Petty Blue Superbird thats been on again and off again more times than I care to admit I did pick up some paint for the engine . so I can get the correct shade of orange for the early cars . Gonna be an interesting clash of colors for sure
  5. This decal is the one I think would be my best option
  6. I dont need the hood blackout or license plate decals Mainly just the 3 GTX and hood engine size callout decals I want to do a build of a very good friends car
  7. Found. Thanks
  8. Edit I now have 6 of them my desires list is above.
  9. I havent completely ruled out using the dash from the Revell charger yet. But so far I think its going to be more work than its worth I have the ac vents in the MPC dash filled already , Plus ground the not so accurate console from the MPC floor and will be using the console from the I think is Revell kit Mine will basically be this car, Only black interior , top boot and rump stripe . Beenie hubcaps with redline tires
  10. Yours if you want them
  11. Thanks all. It's not perfect...nore my best But I really like how it came out.. So thank you for the kudos
  12. I know this is a Longshot But im looking for an original mpc 1970 Challenger builder kit. Don't need tires . Wheels or drive train. Want an uncut body and no holes in the hood
  13. Thanks gents This will most likely be an on and off the bench build so I don't get overwhelmed and / or burnt out with it. Slow and steady it will be Spent a few hours today just getting the engine compartment/chassis in the right spot so wheels will be centered in the opening.
  14. So far....so good. And easier than I expected honestly
  15. I have 2 of them Would trade them for a couple F60-15 pad printed tires , would like 4, but will settle for 2 OR the blue stripe slicks from the amt parts pack tires or, 4 of the new Firestone tires in the new Demon kt or the red line tires from the new 68 Coronet hardtop
  16. I'll have to ck this weekend, But I MIGHT have a couple
  17. Problem solved. Im going to use the Revell Charger chassis ( actually a good portion of the kit ) entire driveline, chassis and all its suspension I dont have more than maybe a couple hours and the engine bay is almost a drop in ( from underneath btw ) Im sacrificing a Revell 1969 Charger kit So if anyone needs a body or interior, Hit me up I'm not going as far / or as deep into detail as Steve did. The car I'm trying to replicate is Hemi 4spd. So out of the box was out of the question. Thus Im all in now
  18. congrats ,,,,,They make for a super nice kit in the case. I rebuilt a 1960 a few years ago. and have a 59 in the stash , just no idea when I'll get to it
  19. One can only wish . But that would be nice. I have one to replicate my own former car. But have been on the lookout for another one . No luck yet
  20. Very nice I'm assuming resin wheels and hubcaps?
  21. Thanks all. I got brave ( maybe stupid is more accurate ) But I decided it needed the wheel lip and side window opening chrome trim. To match the 1/1 car So I got the 2mm chrome pen out and made it happen. I held my breath the entire time. Im So glad that's over with Now it's done. And in the case...most likely never to re-emerge. Ps....all the chrome trim on this car is the molotow pens
  22. Ok, one of these kits was avail to be built both with a wedge and a hemi So were the emblems on the doors a seperate piece ???
  23. there were / are both road runner and gtx tail lights avail in resin and 3d printed. I have some of the 3d printed versions But same here, dont remember who made them
  24. Anyone know the new tooled parts are in the Ford Longroof ?
  25. Thanks Steve Your conversion gives me food for thought. Did you have any interference issues between the interior tub to the chassis plate Or did you use the Chargers interior Floor and modify it. Is your engine bay glued to the body ? I assume those are resin wheels tires hubcaps ? I will need that same tire wheel combo for sure. I'm wanting to build a replica of a friend's 1 of 1 1968 Hemi RT convertible. But not 100% sure just how much conversion effort I have in me anymore for that kind of work / detail.
