My local hobby shop told me the 65 Plymouth is supposedly in the pipeline to be released in march He also told me the Lawman 64 Dodge is due about the same time anyone able to confirm ,one way or the other ?

Got the seats taped up ( that wasnt fun at all ) Did the centers in white . Dash cluster bezel is highlighted in silver , I wanted to do it in BMF, but after 3 or 4 attempts to get it to lay down,, I gave up and dug out testors silver. Need to highlight the gauge faces . And do some flocking for carpet then the interior is done. .Unless I can come up with a better way to replicate the chrome trim on the door panels .The molded in lines were almost non existant . So I'm going to look in the beading isle at Micheals this week and see if I can get something small enough to look right Otherwise ,,,Next up. clear the body and start the BMF process

Got a built up AMT 1959 Buick convertible in the mail today. Also picked up a started but complete Johan Maverick pro stock over the weekend. ..for $20

Got it taped up and airbrushed in the red , interior painted same color , Duplicolor flame red Boot is just a touch darker . Inserts of the seats will be white

Well, It may have survived 56 years with no paint on it. That came to an end over the weekend. Its now in black . Once dry I'll tape it back off and spray the red side coves. then clear coat. then set it aside for a while to really dry so I can start the task of the BMF work ( not looking forward to that ) Top boot is just one coat of Tamiya TS33 flat dark red. It flowed out pretty well and gives a pleated leather look to it

Thansk for the links. I have these aready ( fyi, which were never factory installed in any mopar ) I need the OEM installed type I shown above. I never even thought about the Polar Lights 65 Dodge snap kit ,,,I have 3 or 4 of them on hand ,,,,,,,Yeaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 2 or 3 of the 71 Dusters. would like to find a couple of the 71 Challengers

If you dont find anything . ..let me know. I have 3 of the comets and none will be built replica stock. I will be cutting the hood out of all 3 ,,,,,at some point,,,just wasnt even thinking about doing it anytime soon . If you cant find one I might be convinced to go ahead and cut one out

Agreed. You would be suprised how may I've fixed just by spinning tires around. Especially using old tires from the stash.

Does any know if these are avail in any kit,,,or reproduced in resin. I would like to have maybe 3 or 4 sets

Someone was / is making the hood scoops. I've seen them recently. Just cant remember who or where

Thats the rubber seal between the fender and the nose..only way to fix it is weld or lead it up. Even then chances of someone doing that to a real Hemi Dayyona is unlikely. These cars were already back on the uprise in values by the late 70s. . For the most part these cars became almost instant collectibles in no time.

That T bird and maybe the Riv is pretty cool. the rest not so sure

Great,,another KY builder isa good thing welcome aboard ,,hope you got a comfy chair to sit in.

Yes, the chassis leaves a little to be desired if your after a true replica ,,but it builds up nice and I think its flat hood or hemi scoop only ( Its been some time since I've looked at the kit though,,,, ) you can modify the Revell Dart chassis to fit with some work I have one in the works ,,,,but its been like this for nearly 10 years

cool subject. I'm not a show car builder type. But I do have a few of these kits on hand ,,, and do plan to replicate a few of these cars from back then someday . I've always liked the Starbird cars over just about anything Roth did . The sixtes was sure was wild time for the customizers . And it sure would be cool to know which ones survived,,and which ones didnt

Yep.

Bought them at Decals by Lucas a couple years ago...just now getting around to actually using them

This was my first idea,,and may work well enough for me. It doesnt have to be perfect just have the look. Also thought about spraying them in a black base coat, then while its still wet spray them in a gold, then red . then take a brush and lightly drag it thru it while its all still wet . Once its all done and dry I can always go back and do the solid black pleats by hand Problem is the seats,the headliner and top of the dash in this car is all done this same way. Decals would be super easy,,but I have no idea who , where or if anything like this was done in a decal sheet. Thanks all for the ideas

While I wait for some paint to arrive for another project,.I decided to drag this back out off the shelf. Its a Johan 1962 Dodge Dart. I bought it at least 25 years ago for the grand sum of $4 ( sticker is still on the box ) Sprayed some paint on it yesterday and applied the decals this morning. Once dry I will do the bare metal foil work then spray some clear. maybe tomorrow or this weekend . Interior is sprayed but it came out to dark,,,so I have to respray it in a lighter blue . I am leaning towards use a Lindberg chassis and powertrain. Its not going to be a long drawn out detailed build,,just something to get me back in the swing ,,,,, and use up some decals I have on hand

I dont know where thats at,,but pretty impressive collection

Looking pretty good so far. Are you looking to replicate an particular individual car

Its in this , Real deal 1968 Hemi Dart.

Any ideas on how to pull this off in 1/25th scale ?

The recently released Model King 64 comet IS stock ,,but the hood is molded shut . yours been cut out I assume
