Great thread...I'm afraid the only 59 chrysler kit I have is the Imperial. ..and it's still in the box. But I do have a bunch of 1959 Kits. (its the year I was born and I am on a mission to obtain most of the kits produced for the 1959 Model year ) I do have one on each side thats done though. A 1958 and a 1960 Imperial convertibles

Really Clean builtup 1959 Galaxie convertible

I think it looks pretty darn good as is

Valve covers upside down

Yep....same car

Crankcase evaporated system

Very, Very, nice

I agree,, keep moving forward and try not to take it to seriously I tend to try not an over analize things to much. I want them accurate,,but within reason. If I can look in my case and see the vision i had in my mind , I'm good.

Then just for good measure,,maybe one of each of these

Most of the new go fast stuff doesnt do much for me. I like style and character. On top of my list would be this actual car

As far as I know...yes

The only Hemi with the dist in the front is the 426 . And other than its a ' Hemi ' it shares nothing with any of the earlier Hemi engines Ps, all the Hemis were staggered cylinder heads,,, regardless of year or size. pss, the engine in the Borsch Charger AA/FC kit is a 426 based, The engine in the Borsh AA fuel altered is a 392 based

There all over priced junk. send them all to me so I can dispose of them properly

Are all the graphics on this decals ? I sure hope so.....I want one

Seats are unique to a coronet year by year

Probably the most accurate on the bodies. The interiors can leave a bit to be desired. Chassis leave a lot to be desired. But for the most part price is due to subject matter.

This is just my opinion and nothing more. Are you sure Modelhaus will even be for sale when said retirement occurs ? Will they even care IF , when or to whom its sold to ,,be in in its entirety or peacemeal ? If so ( again my opinion ) But when a business goes up for sale in most cases and to MOST potential buyers they will value it for darn near pennies on the dollar . again my opinion only and nothing more

Going to stop by my LHS this weekend and get me one of these. Any issues be damned.....I want one bad. Then I just need to find the wheels I want to use.

Sweet. Me thinks I need to get me one of these kits for the stash.

In 1.25th scale the difference is slight. The green car is a Johan 1969 Roadrunner. The blue car is a Johan 1969 GTX The hood is going to be the hard part

1969 GTX powertrain is either 440 or hemi , All 1969 GTX's had bucket seats, woodgrain dash applique and doorpanel trim , Bucket seats were optional on a Roadrunner . But none of the interior woodgrain was even avail on a roadrunner 1969 GTX has a moulding that runs along the lower body line ( its 1969 GTX ONLY ) It also has recessed tail lights and a special trunk lid applique ( chrome trim ) thats very similar to the 1969 Sport satellite . Plus the grille is unique to GTX or Sport Satellite All the sheetmetal ,,including the hood is the same between roadrunner and gtx Yes, You can convert a GTX to a road runner,,,all you need is the grille. which I belive is avail thru either Modelhuas or Harts Parts. Ps, A Satellite or Sport Satellite was never avail with the hood thats on a roadrunner or GTX

I've seen enough I WILL buy at least one of the wagons . ( maybe more ) But I want to replicate this car in a BAAAAAAAAAAD way

For myself. I bought a magifier this past winter and dont know how I ever got by without it . Theres no way I can do the level of detail I want without it anymore

I've been collecting pictures of this car for some time. As it IS on my short list to do . ((((( Once I get back to the model bench this fall ,,, dont do much modeling in the summer months ) I have the Club De Mer on the bench right now so it will be done first ,,then move on to the Futura
