  1. Probably more a case of when in the season....Plus I would be surprised if there was only the one car for the 1970 season every pic I've seen of the restored car it has a ft rubber bumper. I'll have to look thru my files and see if I can find one of back in the day where it shows it with a rubber bumper
  2. Hoefully the Sox and Martin Cuda looks like this one If it does,,I'll take a case right outa the gate But I also have this Picture of the 1971 car still using the sixpack hood.
  3. Anyone able to confirm or deny if the Sox - Martin Cuda will have the six pack hood on it or not. ? I have one done to fit the original MPC body and would rather not modify it to fit the new revell body
  4. In my stash I probably don't have more than maybe a dozen kits that I don't have multiples of As an example between the various examples of the Lindberg 1964 Dodge I have at least a dozen probably closer to 20
  5. 2006 Chrysler Sebring touring sedan OR wifes 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan I am looking for a club cab Dakota though, daughter is going to take over the Sebring this spring
  6. Even though I have several I really like and am proud of, this one is hands down my personal favorite, bar none. Original Issue MPC kit. But straight out of the box. I bought/built one of these new back in the day and lost it in a house fire back in the mid 70's . So when the opportunity presented itself to get a started kit a few years ago, I grabbed it and finished it( SO much better than the one back in the day was i might add)
  7. Actually it's not that hard of a conversion to do . I have this one on the shelf to do a 1968 Hemi Cuda Mule car ,,someday If I remember right , I cut it right in ft of the rear spring hanger torque boxes and took maybe an 1/8"-3/16" out of it . Then narrowed it behind the rear wheel wells
  8. Chuck, keep it up and your gonna gonna get a good chunk of my toy fund. If I may make one suggestion,,,make the name lettering on the door a seperate decal ,,,,,,if thats possible ?
  9. Can I make a couple suggestions for another decal sheet ,,,,,pretty please. I am already working on the hood to fit the Revell body or
  10. ps, the bottom picture is not a 1970 Cuda,,looks like a duster to me
  11. Me likey. I might have to get me one of these bodies I am pretty certain 14" wheels would have been the only one avail on a wagon .
  12. So far so good, and just as an FYI, the wheelbase of the chassis is these mustangs doesn't match the wheelbase of the body if that matters to you
  13. Swaeeet I've had this same car on my todo list for some time,,sadly thats as far as it's ever gone. so I'll ck'ing in to watch
  14. I think this one was ,, but it was before Maverick took over driving duties
  15. Yep, the text color and layout is different between the red versus blue cars( blue is 1968 - red is 1969 cars ) Alan when they're ready, pm me I'll take a sheet to do either the AA/FC or the SS car ( actually prefer sheets to do both cars ) Any chance of the Gene Snow decals ? pretty please ......
  16. A little insperation for ya
  17. What was supposed to be a simple weekend slump buster - busted my rump. I got so disgusted with this one I nearly dropped it in the trash can at midpoint. Painted and stripped TWICE. had fitment issues with the engine,,,,. had decal problems from the word go. so on so on so on . Once it made a decent appearing car I slammed it together and put it in the case ,,probably never to come out again.
  18. So far so good. just an fyi, the elastomaric bumpers do not have bumper bolts visible like the kit depicts . so if it matters , sand them off and repaint the bumper,,,again not bashing just an observation
  19. Floorpans were a grey / blueish looking primer EXCEPT LA plant build cars. They were a very dark grey - almost black primer . NONE were ever body color except the some overspray along the rockers and in the wheel well areas as mentioned
  20. I built one several years ago and to this day it's one of my favorites. You'll like it . It's a pretty simple straight forward kit that displays well
  21. I now have 3 of these kits , none have chrome issues , none had decal issues .
  22. Looking REAL good so far
  23. A ft rubber bumper could be had with a chrome rear or rubber rear But a rubber rear was ONLY avail with a rubber front
  24. This the main reason for my personal dis-apointment in this release. Although I have 3 of them now . From here out I'll wait and see if anything is rectified in the future to correct it before I buy any more So glad I didn't sell off my original MPC issues. IMO, I have my doubts this release will do any damage to the value of said MPC issue
