Going to get creative with the paint scheme ?

To me it doesn't seem like it's been all that long that I could walk into any model shop / toy store / or retail store and buy current kits for under $5.each This is just a sampling of my shelf. The most expensive one here is only $6.49. one is $4.99 . I have more in the stash than most of the stores I visit have on the shelf,,I guess that might have something to do with why I have a hard time spending upper teesn and into the 20-25 dollar range on model kits. That and the fact I'm cheap .

And 1972 was the first year , ps, I remember seeing it avail in resin from someone,,just don't remember who

I use to have a 1968 Chrysler 300 vert...... and it was black, with a white top with red interior. I have nver seen another one.

I like it, a lot .

I didn't think the Comp Resin body is a mini charger like the LA Hooker car was ? EDit, Just found some more pics of the car. it seems there may have been different chargers . In my pictures I believe there was both a full size bodied car ( the ex Nelson Carter Chief ) AND a mini body Charger. Both piloted by Dave Conduit ( whom recently passed away ) to the op, my apologies for the hijak Regardless the build looks fantastic . makes me want to finish the one I started nearly 2 years ago

Sounds like denial. Trust me,,it's ugly as far as the Juke,,,oddly enough my sister in law has one,,,but in silver and she loves it

Impressive, Really like your build interests

another view ,,same car . To do this one free hand is WAY beyond my capabilities

Anyone know if the decals to do this car are or were ever avail. ?

My holy grail kit changes as I find it. Fortunately,,I have most of the kits I've ever really lusted after. And by todays standards I am in most of them pretty cheap My top five are as follows Top of my list though is the Barry Setzer Vega AA/FC kit I have this one both as a nice builtup and a sealed untouched original kit Followed real close by the Color Me Gone 1968 Charger AA/FC kit . Have one as a builtup,,,I will find the unbuilt someday if the funds will ever allow (had one sealed inside and foolishly sold it many years ago ) I have a real nice built of a Charle Allen Dart AA/FC ( I bought it exactly as shown here ) Someday would like to have an unbuilt version for the stash Johan 1969 GTX ,,,I've got a decent builder and really want an unbuilt in the box kit Johan 1970 Road Runner , Again have a decent builtup,,,but really want an unbuilt to go along with it

One of my favortie cars,,got one painted and thats as far as I got. Never seen it in the Worthington Dodge livery though. But then again finding pics of this car back in the day are not easy.

Offering criticism when not asked for will drive potential members/posters away,,,mark my word. I follow this board because I like to build model cars. Not because I care what one person thinks about anyone elses work,,, good or bad . I may not agree with the style or theme of every build on here but I darn well will not tell another person what they 'should' or shouldn't like . If the builder is happy with how said model turned out,,so be it. Who am I to tell him is paint job sucks or his tires are out of scale etc etc etc

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better. You pop in with something like these 3d printed pieces. Keep em coming. I am so looking forward to this one getting finished

OH my ,,,,,,do I ever like that. Especially the wheels . Are those Halibrands ?

Not that I am aware of . Every 1970 Challenger I know of had either rallyes or 5 spoke road wheels It could be done but will require either resin pieces or a good parts stash

I've seen the listings before from the same builder before . Pretty interesting subject matter in most cases. But not in the price range I'm comfortable paying. I for one have no problem buying a built kit to display in my case as is ,,,I just don't take credit for it . IF it fits within my interests range. If it looks well built and fits in my price range ,,sure . why not. To be honest I have maybe a half dozen or so I've bought over the years,,,most are older long out of production stuff.

A major portion of my stash was purchased for less then $10 ea,,,,with many less then $5 ea. ,,,, My local Johnnys Toys you could buy most of the current ( at that time ) 1/25th scale kits for $4.99 and thats just in the last 20 years. Yes,,I'm old enough to remember buying model kits in the mid-late 60's time frame . Build them in a day them crash them the next or sometimes the same day. Then take my allowance the next weekend and do it all over again.

Pretty sure there is a wheelbase difference between the Dodges versus Plymouths of the late 50's . And I think the Chryslers were even longer.

Turbine car does nothing for me ( have several ) BUT,,,,,,, that 59 Dodge would be a welcome addition to the stash

I've got 4 of the Formula Desert Dog tires and gold 8 spoke wheels from the MPC Warlock Dodge truck. if u need them ,,pm me an address, and there yours,,I have NO use for them

I've never see any pics of the S+M Birds bottom side,,,,but if they used stock street birds as a starting point they would be either grey or black undercoating

I'm keeping my fingers crossed Revell modifies the current tool to do a 1970,,,sooner than later

Not trying to be a nit picker here. but wouldn't info on the all new upcoming hudson kits be better served in a thread about the all new upcoming hudson kits instead of over taking a thread tagged for the all new upcoming 65 Plymouth kit. Speaking only for myself,,, I have zero interest in said Hudson so to wade thru it to ck on updates of the Plymouth just seems counter productive

the cheap stuff at my local auto parts store ,,,I think its Duplicolor
