I'm in. I've got this kit on my 'short list' ,,,,,Which is much shorter the 'someday' list .

Figures, I don't have one of them . I need those seats for a 1967 Belvedere 2 door hardtop build Thanks

I agee,it appears to be a semi complete kit. MCW's description. PLY-64ht 1964 Plymouth Fury 2dr. Ht. (1/25th scale) $45.00 (Original JoHan - complete car less engine, wheels & tires) Use Lindberg '64 Dodge/Plymouth or Polar Lights '65 Coronet for engine. With Drag decals $53.00 (specify - Golden Commando, Lawman, or Hayden Proffitt)

. Not 100% sure , but I think red . What are the bench seats from ? Johan Police car I assume. If so , I need to find a set of them .

I've never seen any picture of the S+M 1971 car where it had the gilled fenders,,,,, at least not in any picture of it i've seen of it . Back then cars would / could and usually did change from week to week . I just went thru every picture of the 1971 Sox and Martin cuda I have on file. None show it with gilled fenders , and only 2 show it with a red ft bumper. One of them is a static shot (my guess it's early in the year as a publicity shoot ) with Jake King in the photo and the other is an action shot ( not sure when or where it was taken )

Very well done, I have one I built many many years ago and it's looking kind of rough around edges. I can't decide to redo it, or start fresh with an unbuilt kit to do another one

Are you sure the 1st one with chrome bumpers is even a 1970 ? Because to be honest , I don't remember ever seeing anything but red bumpers on the ft of 1970 car. The rear bumper I have pics showing it both ways. But every picture I have with a ft end view to verify it is in fact a 1970 is a red bumper (and I have a bunch of pictures of the S+M cars ) A rubber bumper is heavier than a chrome one, so deep down I would bet it's a fiberglass bumper painted body color I have a few with of the 71 car with red ft bumper , but,,,,,, it's usually a chrome bumper. Then nothing but chrome bumpers on the 1972 car

IMO a race series AAR is pushing the envelope. Outside of the body shell itself ,grille + bumpers the glass and chassis pan nothing is the same between it and this Hemi Cuda Because nothing in the interior of the TransAm series AAR race cars is stock ( except maybe the dash ) A stock AAR would be nice and doable, but I have a feeling the aftermkt will fill that void pretty quickly once this kit is released. The drivetrain from the AMT duster could supply most of the engine / trans required

I own somewhere in the 350-400 range of unbuilts and/or builtups. Last year I actually finished maybe,,, a half dozen ? this year is less than that. maybe 2 or 3 . I will have a long ago started project move to the completed section of the case maybe early next week ( 1st one in nearly 6 months )

Well done, I have the exact same car planned for here very soon ( waiting on paint to arrive ) And I agree I think this kit is one of Revell benchmark kits.

That was a pretty neat video, I've not seen that one before. Thanks

Outside of it being molded in white, I don't know if there are any differences ( besides decals )

Agreed, I refused to pay some of the ebay prices on out of production kits. Example is the Polar Lights Charger funnycar. I've seen examples sell for $30 and up . Add shipping to that and it's $40 or more,,,,no thanks. I don't need them that bad ,, I already have several on hand . IF I need more(not likely ) I'll pick one or 3 up at a swap meet . Actually bought 2 at a local model contest/swap this past spring . paid $30 for the pair. Mainly because they make great parts kits / chassis doners.

99% of the buyers will be a very happy camper ( myself included )

I think it's very good time to be a model builder. There are kits out now or recently that were not avail when the subject was new ( 1967 Coronet just as one example ) Do I like it ? Heck yea. But now I buy only the ones that have a chance to be built in the forseeable future . If I can't picture myself building it , I don't buy it. The ones I do buy, I usually try to buy multiples of,,,,,, as toy funds and/or the cheif financial officer allows for

Just a cool looking build. Reminds me of the good old days . Cheap gas, cheap cars and even cheap girls .

Ok, So who is going to be the 1st to replicate this one ?

Or another good choice would be : Also from Missing link

Do a google search for an article called ' Unraveling the snake pit ' It's a pretty good article on the Hawaiian Charger funny car that should give you everything you need. If you can't find it pm me with an email address and I send it to ya

One of my favorite funny cars back then. Well done. If you 'want to run another set' of those decals through said alps sprinter , PM me

Found it Can you tell I am really excited to see this kit come to market

Or a simple decal and wheel change. I've seen another pic of this car and it has the more common six pack style hood scoop

Only seperating the stock issue and typical drag race versions was the hood and usually the intake manifold. I already have a hood master done using an original MPC hood as a base, so I'll wait to see how it fits this Revell body before it procedes Plus , one could do this one with nothing but a decal change from the S+M car And I for one am certaintly hoping the aftermkt does multiple decals for the upcoming kit.

AFAIK, the hockey stick stripe was only avail in black

Very nice. and Well done, Even though I am not a gasser fan myself. I agree a SWC car is a must have on the shelf . And like you ,I built one as a kid, so having one today just seems like a good idea. And same here, I'll use one of the new tool Mazmanian car to do it
