  1. The headers are for the wedge motor correct ? Which is what I need
  2. Wiil take a entire kit Or just the tires , wheel and exhaust headers for the wedge motor is all I really need
  3. I have a plan for next on the bench Decals - Charlie Allen ‘68 Dodge Dart Super Stock 383 GTS. Beautiful! | eBay
  4. Can someone give me a breakdown as to whats in this kit different than the Mr Norms kit ( ,,other than the Norms has a molded on vinyl top )
  5. I would highly recommend to clear coat the decals. I just tried to use a set to do a Green Elephant build using an old MPC Vega funnycar and the decals cracked like mad . I'll have to paint about all the stripes on
  6. Most of the Fuel injected hemi cars Im familar with . Has a pump / drive bolted the front timing cover driven off the nose of the cam
  7. THIS ^^^^^ And I wouldn't exactly call the early 60s Birds " Cheap "
  8. Currently have 3 of these 24 car Carney cases Plus I have a bookcase for my office / spare bedroom. Will be ordering 1.....maybe 2 more after the holidays
  9. I'll ck, I may have one
  10. Yes. The Plymouth kit is just slightly shorter in overall length and wheelbase
  11. Engine is done. Carbs by fireball ( they are nice) Prewired dist by Mad modeling Im undecided if I want to add some fuel lines........maybe.
  12. Getting closer I have a feeling the BMF i have. Is old. Tough to cut and get to snug down was a pain
  13. Seats are tamiya Nassau blue. Seat pattern is scale motorsports decals I'm super happy with how it's turning out...so far
  14. Progress Interior and chassis both done. Front bench seat is made from a second rear seat. Back filled and then split in the middle. I have to detail the engine a little And BMF the body. Then start final assy. I'm pumped. I've wanted to do this car for a while now
  15. Thanks, Thats what I figured. As Ronnie was the master with a 4 spd This car is my next on the bench and want it accurate
  16. Is it known for sure if this car ran as a 4spd ?
  17. I know it's a long shot. But I could use the red tail light lenses for this one.
  18. Any creative 3d printer making this yet?
  19. I dont think the Cuda sport hood was an option on a Barracuda
  20. THAT is A KILLER photo
  21. Cheap rattle can flat black. Usually Dupli color, Rust oleum or similar in the big cans Same source for a semi gloss if thats what I need Its $8 -$9 for model size cans of paint. I can get big cans for same money and get twice the amount exibit A is Rustoleum grey primer, Duplicolor semi gloss black. Tamiya gloss clear
  22. All primer coats were wet sanded with either 600 or 800 grit Exact same process I used on other bodies Like mentioned Im beginning to wonder if I have a mis labeled can of glossy white / flat white
  23. Yet. Mine is quite glossy when first sprayed It's 15 . 30.minutes Or maybe an hour later it's anything from blushed to downright flat
  24. Ps. I'm starting to wonder if the can of gloss white is mislabeled and anything I put on top of it goes flat as well
  25. I'll shake any rattle can pretty good. To be honest I think 2 of the 3 were with warmed paint 3rd was not. All 3 same result. I got one of the afx cars ( strickler 65 Dodge ) shined decent..but it took almost a full can of clear 2nd one is sox martin afx hardtop. The white came out dead flat. The blue roof is so so . Slightly above pure flat...more a semi gloss at best I'll paint the red on it and see how it looks. But picked up some testors wet look clear today I've always had good luck with it. Worst case they all go in the strip tank and I'll start over with all Duplicolor
