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

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

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 .

I dont the fit is the problem. IMO, the backup light is far to low on the kit compared to a 1/1

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

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

no way thats a 1970. The notch in the fender pointed out is for either a 1968 or 1969

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.

A lot of the MPC annuals had an under bumper trailer hitch in the kit I might have a couple of them ,,,

Loosk like the only one getting any of my money this years is Moebius

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

agreed

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.

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

my instruction sheet is the exact same as yours. But,,,,,,,,, sounds like you pitched the parts

Looks good,,and very familiar. From the Tim Wellborn collection.

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

Picked one up last night. Breezed thru it this morning.,,,,,,,so far so good. I'll devote more time to it this weekend .

WOW,,,,,, that red roadster is spectacular Now I really want one. Anyone got one to trade

I'm in . I keeping thinking I want one of these kits......but have held off the temptation so far. So what color combo was the original ca?

Short of picking one up at a swap meet where you have to practically give modern kits away ...where are you getting them for $15 ? ANY store near me kits are $20 and up.

Would look pretty good behind a Dodge

Never was a fan of the 55 and earlier big cars. But after building the 55 Chrysler. I may have to get one of these and the converitible

I know everyone says there's not much of a difference But just as an example park a monogram 70 roadrunner next to a johan 1969 or amt 1968 ..and it becomes extremely obvious there's a difference Call me a scale biggot. But I'll stick with all 1.25th scale

There is seller on ebay that does just this. I've bought several of the Hemis out of the Revell dart ,,,for WAY less than I can buy the whole kit
