I found this online several years ago and NO idea where it got it or if it's even still out there. Either way I tend to right click save just about anything and everything old drag car related. In the past I've seen several wanted posts for this article . So, i just posted it in my fuse webpages to share. Just click on the link and enjoy. If I remember right the article used the Hawaiian AA/FC . If I am wrong someone please let me know. If correct I will add the pictures I have of the restored car .( when I get a few minutes to sparee to upload them all, and I have a bunch) http://home.fuse.net/jallphin/cool-pictures/hawaiian-AAFC/

First ones are max wedge only I don't have any kits with them ,,,but sure would like several sets of they are avail in the afternkt . Lindberg Dodge has headers in it I believe. 2nd ones ,,like mentioned were avail in the Johan 1964 Dodge,, don't think they were avail in the 64 Plymouth kit

Only one I've ever used so far ( I do have one for a 1968 Dodge Dart project ) MCG set on a Lindberg 1964 Dodge sedan ( will upload a picture later )

Very nice looking little red dodge. Well done I personally think the Polar Lights kit gets a bad rap. It's not perfect to a 1965 Dodge but it builds into a pretty decent looking shelf piece

is uglier than sin

Although I never followed Formula one or indy car . I knew who Senna was and what he had accomplished in his short time. I did get to watch the documentary on his life/career a while back. To this day one of the best films I've seen yet.

Based on the fact that most ( if not all ) of the new releases are kits that have never ben done. I think they're doing just fine. Keep it up and I'll keep opening my piggy bank. I actually was thinking about hitting my local hobby shop this weekend to pick up the 56 Chrysler 300B,,,just because ! I already have several of the 55's

Took the words right outa my mouth

AFXnScale was bought out by rdsxfan on ebay. I've bought several items for them with ZERO issues . But I do not know if they got the duster grille mold in the deal as I have not seen them selling any. I have several of the grilles I bought before the deal went down , I might consider cutting one loose but not any more than that. Try the above 1st to see if they can help. ps, just ck'd the ones I have and they have the plymouth flag emblem in them

Vintage drag cars vintage muscle cars. Have really got an interest in classic cars of the 20's - early 30's era. Any occasionaly I'll look at other subjects / threads but not much Big scale or trucks does nuttin for me

I like it . and same here, I have several of the big cars for the 30's to do ( someday )

Given though I have touched a model in at least 6 months. I am not sure. But last I remember I have 3 or 4 on the bench in various stages and at least another 6 to 8 stalled porjects I got bored with or didn't have the parts or supplies to go forward with . I've got a Lindberg 1964 Dodge superstocker I could probably finish in a day if I put my mind to it. But with kids activities ,,,job and shop projects ( not to mention simple inclination ) there doesn't seem to be enough time to get that done

I keep thinking ,,,,,,,,,,it only took nearly 50 years to get a 1965 Plymouth B body . Glad to see it finally come to light. Although I personally would rather it be a 2 door sedan . But I can work with whats given to me . 2 thumbs up to all involved to bring it to light

I thought it was real !!!!!

Yep, Other than the hudson, I want MULTIPLES of each shown

Did some digging about this very car a while back http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=403865&page=5

non sharktooth grilles are 'almost' the same between 1970 , 1971 and 1972 , if I remember right the differences were color schemes were different Body sheetmetal is the same between 70 and 71 decklids with the peak showed up on some late 1971 cars , and I think some 1972 cars had a smooth decklid door panels are 1970 only I think seat patterns were the same between 70 and 71 but there were color differences that were model year only

For real ?

Yes, I have an opened but sealed inside Barry Setzer Vega funnycar. Built one when I was a kid and it was one I had to have back ( have another one I bought as a started kit,, that one is finished and in the display case) I have several others that are stay sealed kits of kits I I had back then but nothing high dollar

Cool subject. I have the same car on my todo list. BUT, I havn't been able to find any underhood or interior pictures . Wasn't this car one of the 2 factory built Boss 9 cars built ? And If memory serves me right is still unaccounted for ,, I have several pics of a restored car but I think its a clone. Are the wheels avail in 1/25th scale ? I have a MPC 1970 Cougar builder as a basis for mine. If I could find some more info on the car mine might come closer to the ft of the list

PM me an address. I have several and I doubt I'll use them all . I got mine from Wendal Sowers out of Nashville ( now RedSoxfan) And I am not sure if he got the grille mold or not .

IMO the F40 was so far gone and needed so much work,,, trying to put it back to factory stock would have been a waste of time. I agreed with the build, build it bad to the bone and enjoy it . I kinda like the show but don't necassarily agree with every build they do or how they do it. I'm not the one paying the bill either

Somehow I doubt 'Holy Grail ' and ' Firebird should ' be in the same sentence. Rare ? yes. Cool ? absolutely Holy Grail ? doubt it !!!! IMO

Here are a few I have bought over the past 10 years or so ,,,, essentially because they caught my eye. None are good enough that I would be happy with them if I had built it...but none are bad enough I'll ever take them apart for a redo To me they represent a time when models were simpler, such as moms sewing thread for plug wires as an example. The Saddleback Dart was probably never a glue bomb, but I think it's been for some time.(just not by me ) the others are most definitly old builds just by looking at the cracking decals or dusty glass. The S+M Road runner is one of my old builds thats probably been built for nearly 30 years. Every once in a while I get an itch to take it apart and correct it,,,,,,but I just pull it out, dust it off and put it back in the case. It's part of MY history just the way it is . Enjoy,

Not aware of the grille issues ? What was wrong or / corrected. ps, till just the past few days, this is the only color picture of this car I have ever been able to find. I can see the ft edge of the hood is gold, top of the hood is red, is it the same treatment on the decklid is the cowl area red or gold ? , same for the area betwen the decklid and the base of the rear glass ? I've had the Cady decals to do this car for years and never able to be 100% sure how what was red or what was gold . I have maybe 8 or 10 of these kits already but will buy one of the new releases if for nuttin else but the box art
