  1. Copper ext with copper interior looks pretty good as well ( friend of mine had a 1967 Coronet in that exact color combination )
  2. Mopar had 'suggested ' color combinations ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but nearly any interior / exterior color combination was avail
  3. Simple, I'm a gear head , always have been and always will be ( it's in my genes ) I like cars,,,,, especially drag cars of my youth . And I can't afford to own the fullsize versions( at least not all of them ) so 1/25th scale will simply,,,,,,,,,,,,,have to suffice.
  4. One of my favorites from the era. looks pretty good.
  5. The S+M 1970 Cuda did have stock ft bucket seats
  6. ps, I gotta ask. I looks as thought this build is 4 speed In the interior pics I have of this car it shows 4 speed pedals but appears to be an auto shifter . ??????
  7. OH my, OOOOOH my. Looking real good so far. I've got this exact same car on my short list to do
  8. Took the words right out of my mouth OMG,,,,,,, just doesn't seem sufficient
  9. Outside of the Dodge dealer sponsorship, I don't think Mopar had anything to do with Charlie Allens AFX Dart And as far as a factory built Hemi A body ,,there is no such thing. The closest one to factory built was the mule car and even it was built offsite in the skunkworks program
  10. I gotta agree here. Having been around mopars all my life. And just recently did a ground up restoration on a 1970 Hemi Cuda . The biggest complaint I have with the revell kit is too pronounced wheel lips ( they look too much like wheel flairs ) , weak tail light surround moulding ( easily recitied with strip stryene ,,not that I think I should have to on a new tool kit ) and the contorted body line above the rear wheel lips. ( not an easy fix imo ) Am I so dis-appointed with it that I'll send them back and hord my original MPC issues ? No But I am glad I hung on to my MPC issues Oddly enough,, no one has mentioned the windshield washer reservoir ( white plastic piece in the lower left corner of the engine compartment ) is incorrect for a 1970 E body. 1970 E bodies it whould be pretty square on top ,not have the rounded corner. Sorry, everyone is picking on this kit and being a life long die hard mopar nut I had to mention it,, as in the 1/1 world this would be considered blasphemey .
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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)
  17. 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
  18. 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 ?
  19. 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
  20. ps, the bottom picture is not a 1970 Cuda,,looks like a duster to me
  21. 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 .
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. I think this one was ,, but it was before Maverick took over driving duties
