  1. for the most part. the 1970 had a full stock interior,,, ft seats, door panels etc etc ,,,,,,EXCEPT no back seat
  2. Looking good so far. I built one of these a year or so ago. And it's one of my favorite cars in my display case
  3. 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
  4. ? http://www.futurattraction.com/
  5. All the major model manufacturers could take a couple years off and I would still be good. I already have more than I'll probably ever build anyway
  6. 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
  7. nope, they are right for the year
  8. 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
  9. ALL kinds of good decals to do several of the AFX Mopars http://www.whoopiekatdecals.com/HTML/AFX/afx.html http://vsrnonline.com/GregsDecalGraphics/GregsRacingGraphics/SpeedCityResinMain.html
  10. mid 50's Chrysler or Desoto wagon would way up my list Or a 1967-69 Plymouth Fury wagon
  11. I can think of several ...... Oh wait are you taking about the car ?
  12. a quick google search netted the Fiat Altered that it started of as ,,,, was a deep purple,,,my gutt tells me the mustang was the same
  13. The Mr Norms blue and silver car was the Color me Gone car ,,just relettered The Sox and Martin car became the Buckeye and Vernon - Mr 4speed car Charlie Allens 1965 Dodge Sedan Koffels - Maloney Plymouth 1965
  14. Any one I've actually finished...I simply do not have time to even think about sitting at the model bench for past several months As far as one I've opened lately for a look see is the 55 chrysler 300
  15. The Mopar built car is/was a hardtop.
  16. The Sedan shown above started life as a regular 1965 RO Super Stock car as shown,,I don't think it was in this conifiguration for very long. As most pictures I have on it are as a AFX car
  17. Keep in mind this is the sedan,,, aka Paper Tiger II . Which was a shop built car ,, All the Mopar OEM built cars were hardtops
  18. I have an RT/SE in the shop ( real one,) real V code,,, 440 six pack 4 spd car If desired I can get some measurements of the rear window opening
  19. I have a few pictures of the sedan and a few others . But but basically, just like mentioned. they just moved the whole shock tower plate forward and welded in flat sheetmetal where it used to be ( sometimes ) will post what I have later this evening
  20. The style of and where you mount the coil ( or coils ) depends A LOT on the era of build your trying to replicate.
  21. I like it......A lot. I think this kit is a lot better than it gets credit for. This just goes to show how well it can be made to look with just the slightest bit of work . Well done
  22. I see an air cleaner for a single 4 barrel wedge motor,,IMO I doubt 150mph is /was possibile .I could maybe see the tires getting to 150, but how long would they survive at that speed ???? IMO,,,,,, No way that car hit one single tree and damaged that car in the way shown. Something tells me there is more to this story than whats written.
  23. A friend of mine owns one of the former Grotheer cars. It's a white 1971 Hemi cuda. And is the car that Plymouth sent Don as a carrier / supplier of everything required to dress out the body in white used as and also supplied by chrysler that was destined to be used as the actual race car. He has come to know and regard MR Grotheer as a friend and in multiple conversations to the subject. ALL Grotheer race cars were some shade of Blue, white and orange . He will ask about the possibilty to a show car and/or race painted black
  24. Amen,,, Sometimes I wish I didn't have the stash I have now. ( but not enough to give it all away though ) It might give me more incentive to actually build something
  25. Unfortunately, I think I will as well. Although I've received everything I've bought in the past ,,, I would rather not push my luck. Sad part is they have some pretty nice and unusual items no avail anywhere else .
