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

I probably have an original mpc hood if u need it.

Cool, I was over at a friends house last weekend he tried to sell me a 59 and a 60 Bonneville hardtops . $100 for the pair. But I had just bought both in convertibles . He sold the 59 on Ebay this week but still has the 60.. and I may just go ahead and grab it

Ditto. Built one many years ago. ..but mine didn't look near this good

that show is in Columbus , not cincinnati

Outward appearance...especially in 1.25th scale. .there is no difference between 413 426 wedge and 440 The crossram manifold was available between 1962 and 1964 on max wedge engines. And that all look very similar

I didnt see any reference to this show,,which is next month. And I am thinking about going this year . Anyone else

I'm normally not a A/GS fan. But man that looks killer . Great color contrast . I'm gonna have to watch this one to light

Good friend of mine is a painter by trade ( darn good one I might add) And I remember in the past he told me he hated painting the three stage stuff . If I talk to him this week I'll ask about it

Seeing that this one is going so well. ..... but is gonna be given away once it's done. I think I will HAVE to do another one for myself thanks all for the kuddos

Anyone know if there is a kit tire that is more accurate than the hard plastic tires in the kit .? I looked at he wide whites in the 55 300 kit and the height is not even close The actual car had some wide white walls on it with the firestone lettering clearly legible. Just wondering as this kit is on my short to do list maybe later this year

I've used the flocking in the past but it always came out clumpy and never cared for the result. I just tried embossing powder for the 1st time a few weeks ago. And am so much happier with the look. My local Micheals has it,,but in limited color choices. So I may try online to see if I can widen my color options,,the multipacks looks promising. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_22?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hampton%20art%20embossing%20powder&sprefix=hampton+art+embossing+%2Carts-crafts%2C981

I buy , fix and resell cars so my daily driver changes on a regular basis.I just sold my quad cab Dakota, and before it was a 1998 Ford SVT, I also had a 1995 Ford Contour with a 2.5 V6 and 5 spd,,,those cars were a blast to drive and super easy to resell . I would love to have another SVT Contour Currently driving a 2005 Grand Caravan I bought to fix and flip. As for my daily driver next week or next month, who knows

With the warm weather bench time is getting limited. But I have been tinkering with this one some I did a mockup to see how it sits and I like it ,,,a lot . Engine is done and glued in the chassis . Front suspension is done and all glued together. Rear axle is just stiiting in place to ck ride height. I have to say,,this is probably the best engineered kit I have ever worked on. Everything fits exaclty like its supposed to,,although the instructions could be a little better on some of the details . But overall I'm impressed . I will be starting the BMF work soon. The birthday of the 1/1 cars owner is next month. and this will be given to him ,,so It has to be finished before then . Thanks for cking it out,,,, and All Comments welcome.

Wipers were added on after these pictures were taken. ....basically the night before I gave it to the owner of the actual car it replicates. Thanks all for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I was real happy with how it came out..and the owner was simply overwhelmed

The 58 Impala kit I just picked up has a chrome crankshaft in it.

I've got about every Lindberg 64 dodge made. So I'll ck tonight and see which ones have which grills. I know some of them have both

Agreed. But the amt/mpc Daytona kit can be built into a decent looking car with some work. Just cut the bottom of the fender off and mold the valance in,,,just like they did on the real car. Although I haven't built one of them. To me the Revell Daytona the door scallops are far to pronounced for my liking when compared to the real car
