  1. Ive found myself in a situation where I need the clear glass for one of my 67 Plymouth builds Mainly just front and rear glass Also, I would like to come up with a couple / 3 of the stock H pipe system from the same revell 1967 Coronet Its the only exhaust of the bunch that has the turn down style tailpipes . All the other Mopar kits from Revell have chrome tips
  2. Ive got a few of them if you need it
  3. Mailman dropped off a few goodies past few days Sealed Revell 1968 Charger Open/ sealed inside Revell 67 GTX And some wide whitewall tires from a member trade with Jollysipper Thanks again
  4. Like this a bunch I've got the lindberg kit to do this car. Might have drag it out here soon
  5. Thanks all. This one is shaping up far better than I ever expected . Or strive to achieve actually So am trying my best to take my time. Waiting on some engine detail supplies before I go any further
  6. I'm thinking this kit is something like 20 years old now..give or take????? I remember when it came out and the common talk was it was a reasonably accurate kit . I have an original AMT version. Or I would have built one . Looks great btw
  7. Interior is now done Added some photo etch seat belts. And the correct shifter Sat down for several hours and knocked out the BMF work. That was fun. Ok. Not really My neck and shoulders paid the price. I'll spend the rest of the day with a heating pad on me.
  8. Killer pair. I have an old MPC buildup. I plan to use to build both their 70 and 72 Cudas
  9. Yes. The Johan Turbine car Opened one 30 years ago....still haven't built it
  10. Thanks, I have a couple of them. SO will ck and report back I got one from the AMT 55 Chev. so am good for now. But might want another for later on
  11. Same here. I would rank it in my top 5. One if revells finest. Imo Ps. Tamiyas champagne gold is really close for the interior
  12. Any ever done decals for either of these cars. In 1.25th scale
  13. Bingo. We have a winner. I actually have this kit
  14. Anyone think of any recent / current kits that might have an open face helmet in it Before I go tearing thru every kit I have in the pile I know I have a helmet around here s, somewhere but sure cant find it
  15. edit, Going thru my vintage magazine stash. I found an article on this very car And I have just enough stuff wrong , That I will not be happy with it Changed a few detail items in the interior , tach and shifter BUT,,,,,I'm going to start over on the engine with a different one
  16. well, save for seat belt hardware. The interiors are done. White with bucket seats is the Sox-Martin car Red with bench seat is the Grotheer car
  17. Are swap tables avail for this one. If so how much? I cant find any costs associated with such on the dsc site
  18. If so, Pm me and we will work it out
  19. PM sent Is this avail without the bed ?
  20. Turns out I have 2 of the same side I need the drivers side scoop if anyone has one
  21. While relaxing watching basketball last nite I decided if I could fix a few tiny snafus in the paint. So dove in with some 2000 grit wet and dry . Then polish , polish and polish some more. I have to pat myself on the back here. I think this is the best paint job I've done in my life. And Im amazed on how well it slicked up and shined up like no other before it.,,,,ever in my lifetime. . This is not something I usually strive for. This is all Tamiya colors with Duplicolor 1K clear, All rattle cans. All very light coats untill maybe the last 1 or 2 passes with clear. Those went on quite wet. And the car shined up real well . But I had some tiny dust bunnies in prominent areas I didt care for . So after a few days to cure. Out came the sand paper and polish . I used 1mm Tamiya tapes to lay out the stripes . Then very light passes to get color on the body. End result is I have practically zero edge lines between the colors Needless to say Im thrilled beyond belief I do have some silvering around some of the decals. Deep down , Im not real surprised. As the kit is getting old ( Ive had it since they first came out ) BUT,,,,,I can live with it Interior is just a mock up , Im waiting on some aftermkt parts to make seat belts out of before gluing it all together
  22. simple update. Found some photo etch emblems for the kit. So decided to use them Belvedere on front fender and the 426 Hemi emblems ( I had screwed up and sanded the molded in ones off. ) As this particular body was originally intended for a different version that didnt have said emblems. So when it was decided to do the Grotheer car I had to figure something else out Also tried my hand at making a stock body color twist off fuel filler car as opposed to the chrome flip cap for the GTX Working with pieces so small is trying on the patience believe me !!!
