As far as I know, No. John, This car would be tough to do . As the paint work was pretty elaborate.It would take someone with considerable airbrush skills ( such as yourself ) to pull it off . I for one am not skilled enough or have the time to attempt it . maybe someday ? If you look close the dark areas on the tops of the fenders, extending rearward to the sides of the roof and back down on the outer edges of the decklid . It has ( best I can describe ) as balloon circles . If you want I'll dig thru my files and see if I have a better picture

At the risk of taking this off subject. ( not my intention ) This is the 1969 season mini- bodied car. Either way this is a dynomite build and you have definitly popped by buttons for the day

I agree completely Hello, I am a rivet counter and I need help

Looks killer and paint work looks amazing and dead on , and is my hands down favorite car of the period. But if I may,,,,,, the paint scheme shown is 1968 season and it was a full size bodied car. 1969 season was a different paint scheme and was when the mini bodied car such as a polar lights body showed up

295-50-15 275-60-15 YES and YES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, PLEASE

Actually, the Johan body is pretty accurate,,,,,all depending on WHO's car you plan to build and at what time in the season. And I think the Johan kit has a grille blockoff panel to do later in the season replicas. As an example early 1970 season the Ramchargers Challenger has a stock grille - late 1970 season it had a flush ft end like the CMG car above Like mentioned, the AMT and/or MPC bodies are just stock length - stock wheelbase promo bodies

Thanks Rog, I just ordered some Tamiya paints , Once it gets here I will do some spray outs then compare them to a buddy of mines 1969 Plymouth color and trim selector catalog.

Interesting, this is Mystic Emerald over bare white plastic and it doesn't look like either of your test shots. Maybe it's lighting or maybe it's just my monitor ?????? As the body in person ( although it's close as shown here ) doesn't look exactly like the picture on my PC screen either . I just tried to get better pictures but the body is now decals on it and theres not much of the orignal green left showing thru to show the color very well. .

Just wait tll the younguns get a bit older and start school, after school activites etc etc etc . , you might as well throw a blanket over the modeling table and forget it for a while. congrats btw

which one ? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=tamiya+metallic+green+&_sacat=0 I have the same car in the build pipeline and am open to color choices I don't have a local place to buy Tamiya paints so I have no opinions on how close it is - or isn't. And any color can be different depending on pc monitors I've seen the subject car in person at the 'post restoration' coming out party a few years back. And it is a real bright metallic green and I am not 100% convinced it's true to the OE 97 paint code color for the 1969 model year. Same deal on the Don Grotheer 1969 A12 Car , the pictures I've seen the color is light blue with orangish stripe accents, yet the aftermkt decals are more red to me

The color is in fact a fine metallic color. Factory paint code was 97 . I have a can of Testors One Coat Lacquer in Mystic Emerald green , although I've not done a close up match to the OE color chip. I think it looks prety close to the cars original color. And unless I find something better it's what I plan to use. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/projectbuild/mopp_0204_project_six_pack_caltracs_monoleaf_suspension/ http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/sales/inventory/top_sales/1969-1-2-Plymouth-Road-Runner-A12/131232#!/ http://a12mopar.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1231436185

Followed pretty close by a stock wheel base AND an altered wheel base 1965 Plymouth . Avail in both hardtop and sedan body styles

At the very top of my list. And it would be avail with or without the bed in both 2 door and 4 door body styles .

No, or least not since the model year requested Builders show up fairly regularly on the bay , but be prepaired to spend some coin if it's nice one

Have you priced a gallon of paint lately? $150 will not buy anything worth a chit. Ps, I don't remember what I paid for paint WAY back then. I do good to remember what I had for dinner last night. I think back when I got into models,(mid -late 60's time frame ) kits were under $1 , no more than $2

I for one, would love to set and just listen to her. sounds like a great lady. http://vimeo.com/36037796

Normally, I'm not a fan of customs. But, This is just plain to cool to not like. ........ A+ in my book

I assume it's these decals http://www.decalsbylucas.com/Cars_of_1968.html

You have my attention. I've been thinking about this very build ever since the recent gremlin kit was released. Thanks for the tip about the ft bumper, I have an old builtup funny gremlin in the parts box . Now you got me thinking. I wonder if the firefighter mustang chassis will work under one of these new Gremlins?????????

VERY nice. I wasn't aware he ran a gold colored car .

These were cool cars. I had the pleasure of seeing one running/ driving around the Mopar Nats several years back . It sounds like a hair dryer on steriods when pulling away from a stop. But you can hardly hear it running at idle. Lots of info here btw. www.turbinecar.com

personally, I'm not a fan of the promod cars so the subject doesn't nothing for me. . But I will say wow, this thing looks incredible and I'm amazed on the speed in which it's come together. You can't possibly be married or have kids. My hats off to ya.btw Also, how do you attach the small brass brackets and such to a what I assume is a plastic frame work and hope they stay there once completed ?

Thats what I would use. It'll actually brighten up the black cabinet some when light hits it

Yes, Bought them off ebay about 2 weeks ago exactly as shown . The promo I have no interest to keep ( already re-listed it ) I've been on the lookout for 1963 Johan Dodge kits / builders for a while. And they seem to typically pull more $$$$ than I'm willing to spend. But this one wasn't to bad on the wallet.. I paid about $80 for the pair, What I end up having in it ???,,, depends on what the promo re-sells for. this one gives me 2 kits/builders. 1st one I bought a looooong time ago and I think I paid $35 for it back then.

Looks stellar, and this is not an easy kit to complete. I tried and put it back it in the box and bought a dealer promo
