Thnks for all the kind words. I appreciate it. Thanks, It's just set back together for now to keep all the pieces in one place. Plan is to take it apart maybe this fall/winter and actually glue it all back together then give it to the 1-1 cars owner as a Xmas gift. He's a really good friend of mine and has been for years.

AFX cars are the top of my drool list. so I'll be watching this one

put the putty and sandpaper down and start typing

1-1 , I like and can appreciate them all ,,, from OE stock to street rods. But I raraly walk thru the race car pits at a 1-1 show. But for myself to own I like the OE stock look. Maybe not to a full blown right valve stem cap type of car. But it has to look stock the average people looking at it. Weird part is, in modeling I hardly ever build anything replica stock. 90% or better is old drag cars

These GTP cars have alkways been a secret fantasy of mine. I for one would love to go for a ride in one full blast around Lemans Good looking build btw

Even though I have both a 1971 and a 1972, I'm in New tool on a model that has limited following even in 1-1 ? IMO, not likely. I'd take the re-issue and be darn happy I got it

I sold the combo kit this past winter at a swap meet. unbuilt truck and trailer, started boat. $20 and it didn't exactly fly off the table when I 1st sat it down

Dan, Again I am not 100% certain but I think they were standard on a 1970 GTX (along with the rocker mouldings )

Actually, I don't think wheel opening mouldings were even an option on a Roadrunner. (not 100% certain though)

I want to say I remember seeing a built one sell on Ebay maybe 2 years ago. It was a resin kit but no idea whos ?

Very nice. I have one in the 'to do ' pile. right along side a ClubDeMer and an Turbine car kits someday .

Wow, small world. I know the place well ( now closed btw) The trains and hobbies dept asst mgr is a good friend of mine. Me personally. I have always considered it a hobby. or more of something I like to do with free time. I like all kinds of cars, primarily Mopar stuff ( especailly old drag carsof all makes ) and models are A LOT cheaper . Although I can understand how some might think of it as art, I never have.

Nice looking car. Looks pretty good as a plain white wrapper. These are probably one of my favorite kits to build.

I hate to say this , but the subject matter is of no interest to me. (Sorry guys ) But WOW , watching this come together has me in awe

I look for uniformity for the display shelf just as much as accuracy. I want all my builds to represent the intended subject in the same scale .

I looked at a Hubert Platt replica many years ago and it was more of a turquose in color I am pretty sure I used a testors color, but don't rememeber what I used

And a decent looking builtup just ended tonight so now,,,,,,,I have 2 of them.

same here, I had one and sold it when I got the chance. It was a really thick slush cast piece and I had a feeling it was not going to be an easy build I have ONE original issue Johan kit and would 'like' to have at least 2 or 3 more.

One of the re-issued Johan 1961 Dodges . I can't buy a resin kit for what I paid for it. It's going to become an old war horse..

Which body is it scaled to fit ? Revel, Johan or the MPC kit ? or does it matter. I have a few of each and never did a comparison to ck body demensions differences

Resin or plastic body? If resin do you know who the manufacturer is/was ? I have a couple extra of the polar lights snap kits and have been thinking about making my own .

ck with Speed City Resins? http://speedcityresin.com/PartsPage.htm

depends on how it was stored during it's life in hibernation

Well done grasshopper. Keep it up.

Having flipped / resold dozens of kits over the years considering how many kits I have and/or sold at a loss . I have serious doubts I'm in the black. If I seel a kit , as long as I'm happy withmy sale price, I could care less what the new owner does or doesn't do with it. If he thinks they can re-sell it at a profit , all the power to them. If I'm buying and I'm happy with my purchase price, I could care less what the seller made on it.
