I collect Mopar promos so I can only vouch for them. They were made of acetate up till 1963 , then as a far as I know after that all were produced in styrene. Solid colors were molded in color with metallics were painted bodies ( body only btw ) As an example a 1969 GTX promotional was avail thru the typical dealer network as a coaster style chassis. These had like color interiors and a non friction chassis with detail. A puesdo promo style car was avail in the aftermkt. These cars were avail thru some of the secondary markets ( dime stores , retail stores etc etc ) These cars had the same body detail but had a smooth chassis plate with a friction motor and typically the interior was a different color than the exterior of the car. The one's that I've had over the years were blue car with white int, White car with red int. Red car with grey int. The friction cars were hit and miss as far as what was avail and what wasn't . 1970 GTX was dealer network promotional only , no friction car was avail

Roger, the Demon looks plain killer. I like it a lot Well done once again Chuck, do the decals for the Billy The Kid 1970-71 challenger and I'll take the 1st set

I'm not aware that the 2 scoop hood was avail as a stand alone option to be added to any model / engine combination. AFAIK, it was part of the RT option pkg and had to be ordered as such. 340 four barrel cars were the exception, also known as the A66 cars option code pkg

tan or light brown craft paper maybe ?

Hey, I know that guy. I see him every year at the Carlisle Mopar show . Can't remember the name though

Here are just a few of mine.

Problem is , you still a grille to use this as the photoetched stuff is just the center of the grille

I know some sellers over inflate postage costs. but just as an example. I just ck'd costs to ship a single model kit to Canada from Northern Ky , price was just under $17 Same box to Florida is $8 Same box to California is $10

WOW. Owner decides to build HIS car the way HE wants it and obviously DRIVES it and get chastised for it . It's not my style but i'm not got to criticize a car or it's owners taste because of it Thanks keep it up. I like it when the cars are driven just because the owner wants to

I have a Hobby Lobby and a Michaels, at neither of which do I buy model kits unless it's an impulse buy . But I do use them for various supplies, such as Exacto blades, some paints, misc detail supplies such as crimp beads and braided wire for added detail when I get the itch to go beyond box stock I also have a local mom+pop hobby shop I hit from time to time if I'm in the area, and I have bought kits and paint supplies there from time to time but his selection is not the greatest . But then again I probably haven't bought more than maybe 4 or 5 new kits in the past year and half To be honest most of my kit purchases the past year or so have been out of production stuff and 90% of it came from ebay

Using brass tubing and some sheet plastic I made my own traction bars. I made these probably close to 20 years ago for a pro stock project I had in mind, that to this day has never been completed.,,maybe someday.

About a year ago I bought a resin Dodge truck grille of similar model year . It was molded so bad no amount of work was going to improve it. After hearing back from the seller stating it was the best he had, I dropped it in the trash can and moved on. I bought a builtup truck instead later on for the project I have planned. I seriously hope your experiance goes much better.

Several dozen. And it never seems to fail,,,,,, I never have one on hand in the color I need.

I'm not any kind of an authority on the early cars. But I think there were 3 different intake setups on 413's. A single 4 barrel. A short ram 2 four barrel setup And a Long ram 2 four barrel setup. I think ( not a good idea I know ) the short and long ram setups looks visually very similar of not the same in 1/25th scale

I can open it up a take a bunch of pictures and post them in this section if anyone would like to see it . It's completely unbuilt and best I can tell, complete. But I'm afraid I can't say if it's 100% accurate or not . the Alfa will be the 1st one started of this lot, and the H.S . K6 will probably be one of the last

Even though I do have an airbrush, I have not used it in years. Once I found out I could Duplicolor rattle cans, it's what I use almost exclusively. with a Upol rattle can urethane clear, also rattle can

Couldn't tell ya. I haven't paid over $25 for any one model shown I've purchased to date. most of them have been less than $20

Keep all the info coming. I am still picking up kits for the stash , as the toy fund allows . Here is what I've managed to get so far.

IMO. When the builder can get paid regularly , profitably and has a waiting list then and only then can he be refered to as a ' Professional builder' otherwise it's an ego stroke +/or an attemp to get more money out of the un-informend

VERY nice. I really like the interior treatment. I have one of the Nepoleon coupes to do myself

I would so like to raid your stash I've been casually looking for some old 1959 annuals and a rag top buick is WAY up near the top

VERY cool. I assume this is the car in the Garlits Museum ? Last few times I've been in there the body was down or it was parked in an area pics like this are not possibile. So many thanks for posting these.

Lookin good,,,, I've got several of the old metal axle kits myself.

10 years is not a stretch for me. I have several that are at least that old. But thats changing. Actually, I just finished one that was started about 12 years . I have maybe 3 or 4 more I want done this year and they are all started over 10 years back. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75209 Few more are ( both started well over ten years ago ) MPC Barracuda with a modified Revell Dart chassis under it . Initially it was going to be a Sox and Martin or the Mule Cuda build Then a Mr Norms 73 Charger AA/FC
