The mustang kit doesnt have tha setup in it,,,it has 8 injectors The Revell thunderbolt has a air cleaners setup similar to the one shown

I know the grilles are different from year to year. But to non mopar people its hard to explain

Chuck, Just confirm, The Al Segrinni sheet is for the 74 and up slant nose car. and the Radici - Wise sheet is the blunt nose 70-72 body car ??????? I have a couple extra Barry Setzer vega funnycars on hand ,,,so am interested in the Radici and Wise sheet

I have a 1959 Mercury builtup ( not excactly an easy one to find reasonably priced ) , so I am definitly going to follow this one for ideas. I haven't decided on a color combo for mine yet. I am think pale yellow with a bronze colored interior

An easy way to indentify the 1967 thru 1960 Barracudas is ; 1967 - no side markers of any kind, oval shaped grille no peak down the center of the hood , tail lights had a small square backup light in the center of the red lense 1968 - round side markers , similar oval shaped ft grilles with no peak in the center of the hood, taillights were a horse shoe shaped white backup light with a smaller red tail light lense in the center of it . 1969 - rectangular shaped but NON -FUNCTIONAL side marker reflectors , grille was similar to 67-68 and the had the center peak that is in the center of the hood and continues down the center between the grilles. Tail lights were a larger block shaped red lenses and the back up lights were now mounted in the lower rear valance in a chrome bezel next to the license plate assy

Sorry. But I have zero interest in any of the larger scale stuff. Not to mention the variety avail isn't even close to 1.25th scale I bought a lighted magnifier

This is only a guess on my part. But I think the frictions were another way for manufacturers to get more mileage out of tooling . I have been told by several higher end promo collectors/dealers and all have told me friction cars were sold in the secondary market ( not dealerships ) In MOST cases frictions differed from true dealer promos in color combinations exclusive to frictions, As an example. a true 1969 Plymouth GTX promotional will be all one color ,, ( blue with blue interior as an example ,,,, where as A friction chassis 1969 GTX will be blue exterior but will have either a white or sometimes grey interior ) I've never seen a friction chassis 1969 GTX where the exterior and interior were like colors .

Thanks for all the leads fellas. I am leaning more towards a modern Coyote motor for this project. Although I havent completey ruled out a SOHC yet either. But ' IF ' I go that route,,,,,,It will be carberated / naturally asperted ( dont want anything poking thru the hood )

Holy cow........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm usually not a customs fan persay. But WOW, I like this one A LOT .....VERY well done

1958 Bonneville annual kit - 1958 molded in the license plate areas - aka the bumpers 1968 Coronet annual kit - 1968 molded in the license plate areas - aka the bumpers

?

As a general rule annuals will have the model year its supposed to represent is molded into the bumpers. Obviously , there are exceptions. As an example AMT re-issued some of these annuals after the original issue date,,. Called craftsman kits/versions. In most cases they are the same kit with maybe very very minor changes

5 packs of Bare Metal Foil, staright form BMF. With the winter projects I have in mind,,,, I will use most of it

Looks like 97 rallye green. Just as an fyi. The valve covers are incorrect the for an A12 car.

Me personally I wait 24 hours minimum before doing any sanding ,,,Then again I rarely get to the bench 2 days in a row,,so its usually MUCH longer then that

Heres one that would be WAAAAAAAY up on my list. But I'm not going to hold my breath. So,,if anyone knows of a quality resin casting,,,,,,,,I'm all ears 1969 Plymouth Duster 1 show car

Love it,,,,,,,,,Probaly my favorite version I've seen of this kit yet. I have a similar idea in mind for when I do one . And I like the idea of pushing the headlights back into the fenders

Oh yes, please do this one

I have an original issue AMT hardtop,I like it overall . Cant speak about the revell kit ( dont have one ) BUT, been looking for an original issue 58 Convertible to build in case anyone has one they wish to let go of

I wonder if the red 250 GTO on the trailer is the one that was stolen out of the yard about 25+ years ago in Cincinnatti Ohio.(There were dozens of antique cars in the place ,,,BUT it wasnt in the best of areas if you catch my drift )

I'm normally not a dragster fan, but I've been thinking I need to build one of these kits,,,,,,,this picture just convinced me I MUST build one WOW< I like it . A LOT

I've quit trying to sell at swap meets. seems like most buyers ( especially the early birds ) just want them to flip anyway I'll have sealed kits marked at $20,,,everyone wants to buy them at less than $10. or builders at $5 and they offer $2 ,,,, no thanks . I'll donate them to some kid or something 1st Last time I set up to sell I had some little girl maybe 10 or so wanted a kit I had . When she reached for her money and all she had was $5 ( it was a ten dollar kit ) I gave her the kit ( on her promise she was going to build it ) and told her to spend her money on paint or glue . Grinning from ear to ear . and walked right down the isle and did just that .

I'll use flat tounge depressers with the self sticking sand paper on it. both easily cut to any size or shape I need and they're cheap I like the small bladed retractable Xacto knife / pen for bare metal foil work , I think it works better going around edges and emblems than th elarger bladed versisons Like so ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Acto-Retractable-Knife-with-Pocket-Clip-X3209-Xacto-/271969760476?hash=item3f52a934dc:g:AsMAAOSwu4BV34kQ ) Hobby Lobby carries them But,,,,,My most essential tool anymore is my lighted magnifirer

Oh how I would like a fresh 61 Vette kit . Then I could do an accurate Big John Mazmanian car

Dont hold me to this. But I think all the 65 Fury pace car convertibles had a medium blue top. ??????? Friend of mine sold the 1/1 car he had last year . But I have been looking for a builder kit to make a replica of it for a while,,,and havent found one yet within my budget . His had the blue and white bench seat interior, 383 with a 2 bbl and console auto
