I've got a few that I would like to take apart for a redo,,,,,,,,but,,, the list of unbuilts I want to do is too long to allow that to happen in the forseeable future

What is this unknown term ' finished ' ????? In all seriousness if i had to guess maybe 3 or 4 with maybe 6 tops In recent years if I get more than one done in a 12 month span I call it a good year

The only one I can think of that gained any kind of notoriety and was considered to be anything close to stock bodied was the Al Eckstrand car ( Lawman ) Tickle Me Pink, Color Me Gone and Stardust cars were all basically funnycars

99% of the time I get everything locally. BUT, just recently had to order 2 cans of paint online. As I couldn't find it anywhere locally. And at almost $18 with postage added in,,,, never again. I'll have my local hobby shop order if they can, otherwise I'll make due with something else

I thought I had a pic showing the '68 car with the drivers door open, but for the life of me I can't find it. Plus I've looked for the past hour online and cant find it either. I did find a few decent pictures showing the door lines with the exterior door handle in place

except the interior patterns between 1968 and 1969 share nothing alike

I have an AMT 1955 Nomad kit, and the injected intake manifold and tubes are in it if you need it . I have other plans for the kit I can post pics later if needed. FYI, the tubes come straight up , not angled like in the 1st picture posted

have you done a test fit on the actual new Revell body yet ?

Close the hobby room / shelf / closet up and walk away for a while. Come back to it later,,when ever that is . I've done it many times when I got bored with it. Unless there are some extenuating circumstances for the lack of desire ....... do NOT sell them off you'll regret it ( damhik )

If this happens to be the car that sold out of the eastern seaboard states about 12-15 years ago, The red stripe was added and is NOT factory ( buddy of mine looked at the car for purchase )

I've got an original version on the bench now actually, not done yet though

Interesting, I've been around Mopars my entire adult life and ths is the 1st I've ever heard of the availability of a blue shaker bubble Or a white hockey stick stripe

MPC Ramchargers 1970 Dart funnycar is stock from firewall rearward MPC LA Dart is stock from firewall forward Takes them both to make a stock bodied 1970 Dart Problem is neither one has the stock window trim around the ft or rear glass so the A pillars are pretty thin ,,,,in addition to the missing vent wing frames

A corvette

I've never seen a 1970 Dart with 2 lenses per side.

Original MPC kit does have a seperate insert , I just ck'd my original builtup and realized I do not have the insert

Shaker hood was the only hood avail ' from Mopar ' on a Hemi Cuda ( both years ) BUT I would not rule out a dealer change to get the sale though .

Anyone know how many of his kits were based on actual cars of the time ? or was the actual car based off of the model kit of the time Cherry Pie or the Red Baron as examples In other words which one came 1st

isn't that the Hemi car ?

Didn't testors dis-continue maroon years ago? I didn't know Jess Tyree drove a T bolt

I've been thinking about one of these . Is this as produced?

Yep, Shakers were standard on Hemi Cudas only. Optional on 340, 383, and 440 cars (including six pack) All Hemi Cudas had 15" tires were standard , steel wheels were standard, Rallyes' were optional. F60-15 is Hemi cars only. All others F70-14 was standard with E60-15 as optional tires size ( same wheel options as above ) All Cuda's had the black rear tail light panel with a small 3/8" stainless trim moulding surrounding it Ft rubber bumper was optional and avail sepertately with a chrome rear. Or both ft and rear were avail Not 100% sure on this part , but I think if you ordered ft rubber bumper the exterior mirrors were body color IF the optional sport mirrors were ordered. Otherwise it was just a plain simple chrome mirror on the drivers side only Pretty sure ft road lamps were standard on Cuda regardless of ft bumper chosen

Tim. I'm not sure of your source. But me personally , I've not seen or heard of any shaker color outside of the ones I described above. BUT, I haven't seem them all either
