WOW, and I gotta add in here ,,,,The term ' Holy chit ' just doesn't quite seem to be sufficient

Sorry, but nothing in this ' list ' nails it for me. Customs, , hot rods or street rods do anything for me I like style , character, and am a huge fan of late 50's to very early 60's fin cars and muscle cars . And early 60's to early 70's drag cars. primarily Stocks, Super Stocks, and funny cars I have zero interest in altereds, gassers . or much of anything race car wise newer than approx 1973 - 1974 time frame

I'd take either one and be very happy

I built this one long before the current box top edition . It's pretty close even though my build is not the car pictured on the box

Looks amazing. and as an fyi, On a 1955 Chrysler 300 - an outside rear view mirror was not avail either as standard or as an option

Probably one of my favorite pics I've ever taken

I'll take a set when they're ready . I've got several 73-74 MPC duster builders

I like it. Well done. I used to watch the show every day when I got home from school. It was one of my favorite shows I've got one of these kits to do i the near future

I didn't read the article attached BUT, I know the owner of the bird pictured and although I'm not 100% certain, I am pretty sure the car in question is NOT restored. Which would put the paint sometime in the 1970-1973 time frame. I do know the car has had some maint work done but don't think any of it was exterior paint related. I believe it's mostly been tires / brake / chassis / driveline maint / upkeep in the name of safety and reliability only. Current owner bought the car from the flipper that bought it directly from Ramo Stot .( aka original owner/driver) Ramo held on to the car, and instead of reskining it to a more modern body style as rules mandated back then . It remained in it's last race configuration. Which I believe was last raced in the early to mid 70's

VERY nice. I've had this one on my to do list for some time. I just can't get a break on buying a comet kit to start with .

Looking really good so far , keep it up. I'll have to keep an eye on this one. I have thought about building one of these as well as an early 250 GTO for myself

The TA is not for me, and I have several Dusters already. BUT,,,,The rebel sounds interesting. But for me personally have no need for the interior tub ( I am thinking funnycar body )

To this day one of my personal all time favorite cars , by any maker. I have a couple of the kits unbuilt, an original dealer promotional and a Turbine car AM radio I had one come up behind me at the Mopar Nats a few years back. And until it was right up on you, you really couldn't hear it run. But once it was close it sounds like a hair dryer on steriods . I'm going off of memory but I think there were 10 saved and sent to various museums around the country. The rest were sent thru the crusher . Best I remember there are only 3 or 4 that run today http://www.turbinecar.com/ is a pretty neat site to look around for info if you want to learn more.

Wheels to ?

Sorry, this one may not be the answer your looking for. But I did the contest scene for several years, even won a few . Now I no longer build models to please a judge who most likely has no idea if my stuff is accurate or not. I build to please me and me alone. In the past 15 years I've been to a total of 2 contests and have only entered builds on one of them ( didn't place with any either) I went to show off my daughters build and hang with some friends I don't see much

Just got an original AMT 1970 Mustang Mach 1, builtup.

Ditto,,,,,I'll be adding a couple of these to the stash

I say get it the best you can without having to re-frabicate most of your work so far and move forward. Just go easy on it when you let the clutch out for the 1st time And I'm well aware of being our own worst critic, I know I am . And I don't even have the knads to build at this level. But I sure like looking when others do .

I like it,,, a lot

I refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me.

Are these on a clear carrier and require close triming around the lettering itself ?

They were done several years ago but I ' think ' it's testors ' metalizer steel ' , brushed on obviously . ends were just opened up slightly with the tip of an exacto blade and painted with flat black Thanks all, it's far from perfect but overall I'm pretty happy with it . The heavy metallic makes it jump out at you when the light hits it

Thanks all. And yes it does feel good to move another one to the done side of the display case. Wayne, You very well could be correct about the decals . It's been a while since this one was painted and I don't remember 100% one way or the other. I do remember buying some Performace Detail Products decals many years ago ( still have a few in the stash actually ) Here are a few chassis shots just for giggles

Finally,,, after probably close to 15 years , I finally hunkered down and finished this one. This is another one thats been sitting in the case half done for far to long. Revell Gene Snow kit with Slixx decals . Body was painted with a Mopar touch paint for wheels,,,, called sparkle silver so it has a real heavy metallic finish to it . From what I remember the actual car wasn't painted, but molded in this gel coat that had the heavy metallic molded in . I added some basic details like plug wiring and fuel lines , and a taller rear tire from the parts box to help fill the rear wheel wells. Glad to get another over to the completed side of the case. Just got another half dozen to go before I start any new projects. As always , comments good and bad always welcome.

Slixx has ( or at least use to have) the decals to do both the 1967 and 1968 CMG cars. ( both cars on one sheet ) DO NOT use a polar lights body to do the 1968 CMG car. the original 1/1 CMG was a stock proportioned body shell . You can either use a Revell body or get a resin body thru Competition Resins. me personally I would glue the hood shut on the Revell body and use it . Or look for an original MPC builtup and restore it .
