  1. Anyon used the chassis components from the Revell 68-69 Chargers under the mpc 1968 Coronet bodies yet ? Any issues using it? I don't have any of the amt ertl chassis left over
  2. Thanks I have the parts kits. The are 4 of each size But really don't have much use for that many of the L60 sizes
  3. Yes. Just the roof section is all I need. Just Let me know
  4. Best I remember. the 60s era stock cars just used a widened stock steel wheel The Johan Petty Superbird and/or 64 Plymouth has some good ones in it maybe take a look at the rims in the Lindberg Petty Plymouth I might have some if you need just the wheels
  5. Revell 1970 Cuda kit. Final body to chassis fit. Getting close now If all goes well. I'll have it finished this week maybe.
  6. Mine has a mark on the roof section of the sheet . so really only need that piece I know , Its a long shot . But have to try
  7. In the past Ive used thinned enamel paint. But the only place around here sells testors enamels is Hobby lobby, and its Not convenient to get to as its the complete opposite side of town from me I just bought a bottle of the Tamiya black for grill work , and I like it. Its extremely thin so it flows out nice
  8. Interior is done. Nothing spectacular. Rattle can krylon satin blk Various details picked out with a 1mm chrome pen Grill is done..and came out WAY better than I expected. Brush painted with testors burnt metal metalized. Very lightly fogged with a bright silver from about 2ft away Tamiya panel line accent flowed in the grill bars to highlight them. A touch of clear yellow on the back of the turn signal lenses to simulate the yellow bulbs in the 1/1 car ( I really like how Revell did the head lights on this kit btw ) Then just run a 2mm chrome pen on the outer edge to simulate the chrome mldg on a real one
  9. Well done, The cougar kits can be quite a handfull to get them to sit right
  10. Dash / instrument panel done. I ended up just painting the woodgrain as I could not get the decal to stick Gauges glued in from backside. With clear Elmer's glue on the ft side / faces to give it a clear lense look. Again..thanks all for looking.
  11. My 2cents here But a quick cursory view Engines from the era used a 4 bolt valve cover thus have a slightly different shape than later 6 bolt models In you file pic it has holleys - not avail in that period , should be carter AFBs Air cleaners should have a defined flat back edge and nearly touch each other in the 1/1
  12. Define ' Classic ' For me personally, My numero uno is a 1961 Chrysler 300 convertible
  13. WOW< Just doesnt seem to be enough. But , WOW is all I got. Impressive sir
  14. The kits center clutch is chrome, I just dabbed some clear yellow on it to give it a kinda sorta factory look
  15. Wheels and tires done. Tamiya flat aluminum rims with a light coat of testors burnt metal for the centers Engine done. Painted with duplicolor hemi orange Engine enamel..built box stock. Chrome Valve covers stripped and sprayed with duplicolor black wrinkle paint. Overall just detailed with various shades of paint
  16. Body was already painted. I didnt catch the wide flares in time
  17. Thanks. I have the remains of the sheet for the Charger . Plus I have an extra sheet from the Revel Landy SS Dart kit and I will most likely use it for the upper Blue/Red body color stripes The darts side red color decal has a slightly different shape than the Coronet would require. So probably will have to paint the red side panels
  18. This is another kit that was painted years ago . then boxed up for one unknown reason or another From the beginning it was Slated to be a replica of a long time friends actual car . 1/1 is real deal Hemi auto , 4.10 Dana car Only deviation planned from box stock will be AMT pad printed Polyglas tires, in F60+ L60 15s like the 1/1 car has . Kit builds as a 4spd. The actual car is auto. But not likely I will change that in the build . Jury is still out on that Painted K2 Testors GoMango / Vitamin C with black interior to match the 1/1 It has some scuffs in the paint , luckily I still have the Testors can and hopefully It sprays out well enough to repaint the body and hood. Fingers crossed on that. If not maybe I can decant it and break in my new to me airbrush I got for Christmas. If not, I will have to look at other avenues for paint. If anyone has hints or tips with any known issues with this kit. Let me know
  19. The AMT Duster 340 , out in the open Shown alongside the underscale 340 from the new MPC 1971 Demon kit
  20. Spray it flat black, then dry brush the raised edges and outer edges silver It lends itself to some decent detail work
  21. I have the 4 from I think is lindberg / imc Little red wagon Same deal. Yours if you want them
  22. I have all the glass. EXCEPT a windshield Yours if you want it
  23. Thanks all. It's not up the caliber of some here. But I have so say. I like it
