PS, the only decals I know that are readily avail are the Sox and Martin car as well as the Motown Missle car. If there are others, someone let me know as I have several old MPC builders in the boxes put away

I save any and every picture I find of Old drag cars, especially Mopar stuff .

I will follow along with this one as well. I have one in the stash for that sometime in the future build.

There are several ebay sellers that use Payapl. Jim Heller and Raceminded are the 2 that I use most

Roger, this is not good news and I am sorry to hear. and I guess I got lucky with my most reent order and will have to double guess myself on any future orders

I'll have to look into that one( I don't have one her to ck) Thanks

I thnak you. Reason I asked was 1976 is slightly out of the timeline I concentrate on and if I needed to buy a resin body , I would probably pass on this one. But if I can use it on a revell kit I already have, it might push me to get this one for later use

I currently have one large display case. 5' tall by 4.5' wide with sliding glass doors. There are 6 or 7 glass shelves inside( case is full by the way ) Then I have a standup curiuo cabinet in the family room ( it matches the other wood TV stand and Shelves in the same room ) It's almost full . I've sold a few but ended up regretting that part,,,,,, so from now on all will stay with me. So I parring down on my interests / subject matter to build, Which will be all drag cars from the sixties to early seventies, with some factory stock stuff thrown in for good measure

mod tops were never avail on any year duster

USPS dropped it off today. An unbuilt Johan 1962 Dodge kit for an upcoming RAMCHARGERS project Bill

340 engines were painted street hemi orange up till approx april 1971 later engines were chrysler corporate blue Hood scoops were optional I believe, and / or depends on options pkgs

I take it , it doesn't fit the Revell body ?

This is all I have on the RTS Cuda Maybe it's this one that I am thinking still exists and is in MI. ???????

REALLY nice lineup. Looks like all you need is the early 1964 Max Wedge car ( 1964 Hemi car came mid-year) and your set. And someone correct me if I am wrong, but the Ramchargers 1970 Cuda did not run in the 1970 season correct ? didn't it come later like in the mid 70's ?

Is this one out already, ? I'll need a couple to build and a few more if for nuttin else but a parts kits

Although I am not 100% sure. I believe it was in fact Mopar designed / Chuck Miller built ( I think it was a design exercise and was supposed to travel around with the RTS cars ) , then went to private ownership later on ( early 70's) And the last I heard the car still exists and is in Michigan PS, there also was the RTS Cuda and is / was a different car

And

Found this on Ebay completed lsitings ( not mine btw) It might be close, but I don't think it's the same as the sonic cuda nose . but I think it could be modified without to much trouble http://www.ebay.com/itm/MPC-1974-cuda-orig-parts-kit-/150896341192?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23221f70c8&nma=true&si=%2FlBK%2BYElLJ7g5He8zIBIINCr9C0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I found a few detail pictures of the actual car and it is NOT a 426 based engine. The magneto is in the back which means it's an earlier 1st generation based engine- and my gutt says it's either a 354 or 392 ( both are very similar ) .

AMEN, No manufactuer is going to please 100% of it's targeted audience. Personally, I for one would like to have a hard top, ( drag car builds ) other than that it's not on my must have list . As I am not a Vette fan in general I want - in order - the Cuda, the F100 and the 57 Ford asap

I build for myself, and I have no interests in competing in contests. So for me personally I don't feel the need to go all out on a build. ( although I do enjoy looking at them ) Several years ago I did a build to replicate a friend of mines 1970 Charger and I had all kinds of PE stuff in it. Once completed I realized I had spent had more in aftermkt stuff in the car than I had in the car ( and the kit wasn't exactly cheap) My hats off to them and I would love to support the aftermkt suppliers more then I do ,,,,,but my interests and budget make the decision as to what I buy. But anymore about the only aftermkt pieces I buy are pre-wired distributers , some resin pieces that I can't get in stryene and decals .

REALLY cool looking builds,,,I like them all . Any idea where I can get a set of the decals for this car I think MCW makes them but you have to buy a resin body to get them ( I already have several of the johan kits)

Boy, Am I going to remember this tip. Thanks for bumping it to the top

The recent wanted thread has me thinking about it,,,,,again. Anyone have any ideas on a reasonably close chassis for the MR Unswitchable GTO . It's my understanding the original MPC kit isn't accurate , let alone cheap to find I don't have the patiance or the time to scratchbuild something and for myself it doesn't have 100% accurate either.
