Chuck,
any idea how well if at all these will fit an MPC bodied kit .?
I like it a lot better than the Revell body
And I have a few old Barry Setzer builtups to use
I've built a couple of them.
It's a pretty simple kit to do . But looks pretty good on the shelf.
Like mentioned, the kits were designed back in the mid to late 60's so plan on lots of scratchbuilding if 100% accuracy is your goal
Do it and enjoy it,,i did
Today was a very good day.
ABout 3 pm today , it moved under it's own power for the 1st time since approx 1994
Cars owner was pumped to say the least .
1970 Challenger Rt/SE 440 six pack 4 speed 4.10 Dana.
There were no interior door or rear trim panels on the car ,,nothing but sheetmetal, and yes it was all Petty Blue.
Edit,
did some ck'ing and now I am not so sure
found some pics of the #41 Plymouth and it has silver sheetemtal over the interior door opening
I have a Gold Leaf 1972 Barracuda promo. I've always liked the color
I can get a better picture tomorrow if u want , this pic doesn't show the color very well.
A buddy of mine collects Mopar matchbook sets. He has a bunch of them ,,mostly 50's and early sixties books.
I collect Mopar dealership promotionals ,,, At least I used to . Prices have skyrocketed and pretty much priced me out of them.
But I do have some nice ones
Agreed,
Ronnie and Jake King are both gone. Not sure about Dave Christie.
I had an opportunity to meet Ronnie, Buddy and Jake King several years back. But gave up waiting in line to do a meet and greet. and walked away,,,big mistake as Jake passed a year or so later
I have a few kits I will not build due to collectable value or sentimental value.
But none due to complexity or lack there of.
If I doubt the kit will represent what I want it to look at once completed,, I either
A - don't buy it in the 1st place
or
B - don't keep it once I buy it.
So basically with exception to maybe a half dozen kits I own,,,ALL are workbench bound ,,,someday
Yes,
The problem with most ( if not all ) of the MPC funnycar kits, they were just stock wheelbase promo bodies on a generik funnycar chassis.
At least the Pro stock kits were a tad more accurate
Actually, In 1964 the cap is black ( tan caps arived in 1966 ( maybe late 1965)
Dist should also be black , as the OE dist used was supplied by prestolite , which were painted black steel housings
ALL kinds of good decals to do several of the AFX Mopars
