  1. Toothpick dipped in thinner to just rub it of very lightly and slowly.. Patience is key here
  2. A good magnifier and lighting. Then lightly dry brush it. Or foil it and a new blade in the xacto knife.
  3. I like this one a bunch. I just picked up a 1968 chrysler 300 vert promo . I am going to redo as my old car. Black with red interior. 440 console auto Anyone know if there was ever an up top for this body style chrysler?
  4. I buy kits for ways IN the box..not a name ON the box. I have no use for anything Foose
  5. Summer time is my down time for models.i simply don't have time. Restoring the 1/1 cars then yard work . kids activities etc takes every hour I have awake.
  6. Deleted double post
  7. It's not unbearable hot in Tuscon till June or july. Regardless......I'll be there permanently in about 5 years.
  8. 1966 has a full console that runs between the ft seats all the way to the front edge of the back seat,,,,1967 it stops right even with the back edge of the ft seats 1966 has turn signal indicators at the very ft of the upper body line mouldings,, 1967 is just the moulding ( no lights ) Externally the door is the exact same shell.only the 1970 RTs have the door scoop added . I would really like to see a all new 1970 kit. But for me make the door scoops a glue on piece
  9. O.M.G. That looks amazing. Many years ago I read to use the plastic screen ,material to replicate something like this . the story was you mask off the main porstions you dont want painted. spray the screenmareril till its just damp. . Lay it on the area you want to paint,and using light dust coats spray it to the color you want the final result to be. Once dry just lift the screen material off and vioala,,, a checker board pattern emerges. Thats what I plan to do when I build this
  10. Not to be a negative nelly. But at the price point of a quality resin kit. For me personally. I would look for an original builtup kit. Isnt the Modelhaus kit nearly $100 ? They're not that hard to find . and the few I've watched sell on Ebay sold in the $75 range The only Hendrix kit I have is the service truck body and it looks pretty good to me
  11. Ouch. I've got an original. Luckily I'm in it pretty reasonable. When the challenger funnycar kit came out a few years ago. I wondered if they would change it to reflect either this kit or the Color Me Gone car. Good to have it back either way .
  12. I dont the fit is the problem. IMO, the backup light is far to low on the kit compared to a 1/1
  13. Generally I'll use primer only if I am doing body work or 1/1 paints ( duplicolor as an example ) If brush painted ,,,its right over bare plastic
  14. the only engine is 1965 to get the chrome air cleaner and valve covers was a 426 wedge with a single 4 barrel carb. ( excluding hemi ) I am about 99 % sure the 383 was engine color valve covers and black air cleaner
  15. no way thats a 1970. The notch in the fender pointed out is for either a 1968 or 1969
  16. I built a Cutty Sark many many many years ago..... Would love to do another one justice someday. Keep it going as you really have my interest.
  17. A lot of the MPC annuals had an under bumper trailer hitch in the kit I might have a couple of them ,,,
  18. Loosk like the only one getting any of my money this years is Moebius
  19. I am similar but different . If its Mopar , I'l build it. Ford is a maybe, probably ,,,,,,chevrolet is doubtful unless its an old drag car. Or ,,,,,,something that really catches my eye Actually I think the only GM builds I have to be replica stock are some old 1958-60 annuals . But summertime is tough for me to get bench time . As I do most of my modeling during winter months ,and for the most parts I look for old annuals to fill the need during warmer weather months
  20. I have a 1970 challenger Se body..bought it years ago and its still in a box...it's not to bad. bought the 1964 Plymouth sedan body last year and am not impressed. ...doubtful I will use it.
  21. Agreed, I'm really surprised no one has done this yet. I guess the Interior is the holdback Same goes for a 58 Chrysler 300 for the 57 kit
  22. my instruction sheet is the exact same as yours. But,,,,,,,,, sounds like you pitched the parts
  23. Looks good,,and very familiar. From the Tim Wellborn collection.
  24. I just ckd my issue of this kit and mine has the air grabber door as well as the box below it Its molded on the same tree as the ft valance in between the tail pipes
