  1. I only one Barracuda build thats actually finished ,,plus another one started to do the mule car
  2. MPC 1971 Demon MPC AA/FC Vega funnycar MPC 1970 Mercury Cougar MPC 1970 Mercury Cyclone MPC 1968 Coronet hardtop a couple bonus kits for me would be MPC 1971 Roadrunner AMT 1972 CHEVROLET FLEETSIDE
  3. Wish someone would,,,for me a 55 or 56 Imperial would be WAY up on my to do list
  4. What's not to love about a big fin mopar. I've got one of these kits in the to do pile.........it'll be sooner than later
  5. I've got all kinds of pictures on file at home. You looking for something close to as delivered or replica drag ? Can post some later (on my phone now ) My daughter graduates in the morning so it's been kind of hectic the past few weeks
  6. I've built several of the Lindberg 1964 dodges and several of the thunderbolts. All with zero complajnts. All I've ever used the prostreet nova for was parts.
  7. I just type in the model year I am interested in. It opens all kinds of stuff.....you just have to weed out the junk. As an example. I'll type in 1959 mercury or 1959 amt . Sometimes I just type in 'built' and see what that gets me.....usually all kinds of stuff
  8. I don't work with a lot of resin . But the few I have just a light soaking in Westleys bleach white has worked good for me .
  9. Toothpick dipped in thinner to just rub it of very lightly and slowly.. Patience is key here
  10. A good magnifier and lighting. Then lightly dry brush it. Or foil it and a new blade in the xacto knife.
  11. I like this one a bunch. I just picked up a 1968 chrysler 300 vert promo . I am going to redo as my old car. Black with red interior. 440 console auto Anyone know if there was ever an up top for this body style chrysler?
  12. I buy kits for ways IN the box..not a name ON the box. I have no use for anything Foose
  13. Summer time is my down time for models.i simply don't have time. Restoring the 1/1 cars then yard work . kids activities etc takes every hour I have awake.
  14. Deleted double post
  15. It's not unbearable hot in Tuscon till June or july. Regardless......I'll be there permanently in about 5 years.
  16. 1966 has a full console that runs between the ft seats all the way to the front edge of the back seat,,,,1967 it stops right even with the back edge of the ft seats 1966 has turn signal indicators at the very ft of the upper body line mouldings,, 1967 is just the moulding ( no lights ) Externally the door is the exact same shell.only the 1970 RTs have the door scoop added . I would really like to see a all new 1970 kit. But for me make the door scoops a glue on piece
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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 .
  20. I dont the fit is the problem. IMO, the backup light is far to low on the kit compared to a 1/1
  21. 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
  22. 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
