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
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 ?
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 ......
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.
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
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
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
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
