Yes. Got everything to build the 59 stock. The silver 60 is really nice and I like the color combo...so I will leave it exactly like it is. And I think I did ok price wise

I just picked up a 59 and a 60 Bonneville convertilbes this week and a 60 Hardtop. so you definitly have my attention as to how this one comes together The color is starting to grow on me ,,I wasnt diggen it at first

Cool beans. I built one of these about a year ago, and really liked it. all except the tri tone interior,,that was tough Mine was Duplicolor paint as well,,,no idea what the name of color though

I thought it looked like something was wrong in the ft fender. The visor didn't bother me at all. But the metal chassis was throwing me off and it definitely wasn't as warped as most promos I've seen from the era. I decided to pass and find an annual kit builtup instead.

This is the car I am looking at. The metal chassis has me wondering whats up. In the pictures I cant make up my mind if the left fender has warp to it or not. It certaintly seems straight down the sides and the body doesnt have the huge curl in the middle of it like most I've seen. But every other one I've looked at has a detailed plastic chassis http://www.ebay.com/itm/351340348215?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Got a couple Ebay buys in today. A builder 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. And a Really nice built 1960 Bonneville convertible

Great looking build. I have always thought this was a seller looking car. Well done

Very nice...I like that a lot

I have a 68 charger hood I can snap off some pictures if needed

We're factory promos metal chassis or detailed plastic chassis cars. The one I'm looking at is a convertible with a metal chassis. And shows no signs of warping

Ugly, but I'll bet its fast. Buddy of mine has one , mostly stock with just an upgrade hair drier,fuel system and alcohol injection and with the boost dialed up and I think its a 10.90 car. Those cars were impressive box stock

Looks good, Nice color The stance looks dead on try a piece of guitar string for the antenna

Are the 60 Ford or Mercury dealership promos stryene or that cycolac material ? I am looking at one and it show no signs or warps is why I am asking

Positive. Here is the build thread. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99632 Thanks all for the kind words .Its not flawless by any means but I am real happy with how it came out . This one is going to be tough to just give away. But I'll do it because he is a good friend of mine. and I know he'll certaintly appreciate it ........ He doesnt even know its coming.

It's the moebius kit.

I want to go on record this has to be the best engineered kit I have ever worked with . Intructions need a bit of work, But the kit itself is impressive . Anyway,,,, this is a replica of a friend of mines actual car. His birthday is next month ,,so when we meet up next I'll present to him. 1st the actual car I was attempting to replicate. Outside of an exterior repaint back in the early eighties this car is pretty much original. So its a pretty correct un-messed with car and makes a great 1st impression when you see it in person. He has owned the car since about 1979 give or take a year or so. About 2 years ago , he finally gave in and put a set of wide whitewall radial tires on it. Which makes it so much more comfortable to drive, which he does do on a regular basis,,, weather permitting. And the build. which I really enjoyed . Its all built 100% box stock Body is done with rattle can black laquer with a rattle can urethane clear,,,slighty rubbed out . Interior is all testors model masters enamels . I'll get some better pics of the engine compartment and underside maybe tonight . ( Posting these pics ,,,I just realized I need to put the decals on the rear quarter panels ,AND install the rear shocks on the suspension ) Comments of all kinds welcome.

Birds were avial with 14" wheel in either the 5 spoke road wheel or the silver rallye wheels ( both has trim rings as standard equipment ) 15" rallye wheel were standard on Hemi car,but optional on the others . I am about 99% sure ,,,,,, a plain steel wheel was NOT avail or offered with any kind of hubcap choice Bucket seats or bench were avail,,but the only interior colors avail were black or white . As just a general info, ALL superbirds had a black vinyl top, no exception and ir-regardless of exterior color choice.

Agreed Having first hand experiance with the subject IMO, helps you find and notice flaws others cant see. or pick up on right off the bat if at all. I am a mopar guy at heart and always will be . To me the 70 Cuda had major flaws even before it was released ( the 2 scoop hood is one major one ) I can spot the horrible wheel lips and over sized tail lights right off the bat as well as the wrong body line in the rear quarter panel . And yet,,,To my eye the wagon looks killer and I WILL build one. To others its junk.

I can certaintly appreciate the effort it takes to do these . But roundy round car stuff is of no interest to me . I am more of a early 60's to early 70s straight line fan myself. But I didnt want it to go un-noticed or appreciated for your efforts.

I used Testors enamel clear on a build years ago . ( blue and white car.) And beside a recent build all white car its definitly yellowed big time. I'll not use it again. The past few years I have been using Upol urethane clear ( its tall rattle can ) straight out of the can ,,,I'm not an airbrush user unless I absolutly have to So far I've used it on testors enamels and laquers, Duplicolor, and cheap hardware store paints with good results. All straight out of a rattle can. This a black laquer ( not sure the brand ) with Upol clear,,and a very light polishing.

Didn't even have to click on the link and I knew it was that black Valiant. I've seen the video before and that car is insane. There is a black 1962 Dodge ( maybe its a Plymoth ? ) out there thats similar on the sanity level

Looks almost pink on my monitor ?

I was in Jo-anns fabrics and crafts today. And they had this stuff on the shelf. Price was $24 ,,but when I went to ck out it was only $14 May go back tomorrow and get a 2nd one just for grins
