  1. I'm told if your stare at this picture long enough 2 corvettes appear in the foreground.
  2. Cool project. I'l have to keep an eye on this build. That said, I have been looking ( casually ) for one of these in 1.25th scale for another future project
  3. Agreed, If none of the companies come out with anything new that I want/ need in the next 10 years ,,I am good. Although I am glad to see someone finally doing a 1965 Plymouth B body and will definitly get a few for the shelf
  4. If it's a Missing Link item, you can be assured it's a nice piece. I've got several items from them and not once have I been dis-appointed
  5. What I ordered last year, I received in a very timely fashion, ( Other than one sheet ,,,I have not used any of them as of yet ) The one I did use was very nice,,just kind of fragile . But,,,I've read there were several customers that got nothing . so maybe procede with caution.
  6. Me personally, I would not add a partial charge unless I know for a fact it's low on freon
  7. I am glad to see this kit back on the shelves as I think it's one of AMT's better efforts and should sell well ,,,,,,,but the lack of pre-plated rims and the decal error makes it a bit dis-appointing to me.( good thing I have the Fred cady sheet as well ) box art is cool though and I may buy one just for that. Between all the previous variants I have probably close to a dozen on the shelf as it is.
  8. The carb in the AMT 1971 Duster is pretty nice. Actually I am using the entire engine,,, air cleaner down in an MPC 1970 Challenger rebuild.
  9. Problem with that is the Dart has a spare tire well and the A body only style gas tank, that looks nothing like the same area as a 1968-70 B body
  10. I've got several of the sliding drawer screw bins from Home Depot. A couple with all large drawers and one with all small drawers for smaller parts. Plus I've got maybe a dozen or so of the large plastic bins with the snap on lids(like Draggon shown above ) I use for partial kits and/or builups that I don't have a box for .
  11. I guess I was one of the lucky ones, I ordered several items when they had an Ebay store,,got everything I ordered in less than a week ( that was several years ago though ,,and still haven't used any of it) As far as the JJ nova I would just make my own
  12. So the box art shows it has chrome reverese wheels,,yet none are included in the kit ?
  13. No fair,, that looks mint compared to the builtup I have. I bought a builder several years ago to replicate my old car. someday I'll get to it My old car was black - black int 440 six barrel 4 spd bench seat
  14. The ones on the left are correct for 1969 up thru about 1971 or 72. I think it was about 1973 is when the generick ones with no lettering / face markings became avail for all Mopar applications
  15. Mieky, I appreciate the concern But WANT and NEED are 2 very different things . I don't need any of the kits I have stashed away,,,,,but I want ALL of them ,,,and then some Thanks for asking though
  16. Those are Dodge caps and are wrong for a 1970 Plymouth
  17. The rollover was definitly a 1963 I am wondering if there were always only the 2, one was wrecked and it was replaced,,, still keeping with just the 2 team cars Until just the other day I never knew about a wrecked Ramchargers car,,,,, i was just doing some surfing a few days ago and stumbled onto it. Problem is this is the only picture I can find of the car and theres no way to read the class # on the 1/4 panel. ps, in all my pictures and everything I've found so far Class # 's 702, 979, 980 and 981 also have pics of a car with no class # with Stanford Bros along the bottom of the car # 702 has Stanford Bros along the bottom of the car 979,980 and 981 all l have Hodges Dodges along the rocker . so,,,,,,did 979 get totaled and was replaced ? Reason I ask , is I have 2 Johan 1963 Dodge kits that are rapidly coming to the ft of the line when I get back to the model bench
  18. It's uglier than sin ,,,but In a sick morbid kind of way I like it. Paint it a different color ( or just lose the flames ) and I would drive the snot out of it
  19. And the people who just walked out right into traffic ,,,,, or the lady just standing in the middle of the raod and the truck with trailer that somehow went around her. 1st I've seen this one and ya gotta wonder just how smart the gene pool is around the world today
  20. what a shame,, they made some nice pieces no one else did. I wish I had picked up the 1967 Plymouth 2 door sedan and the wagon,,and the 1964 Plymouth wagon
  21. I've always thought there were only the 2 cars back then,,,but was doing some browsing today and found pics of 3 different cars AND pics of a rollover. so am curious, did one car get destroyed back then and they replaced it ,,or was there always 3 cars campaigned class #'s i've come up with are #702 , #979 + #980 Anyone able to confirm one way or the other
  22. Sorry, but not a fan of JF products. They're ok for the price I guess . But I would rather pay more for a better product
  23. Excellant info so far. I have got to get started on a few of these
  24. This would be cool on the shelf. I've seen this car in person,,,pictures do not do it justice
