Maybe the muscle car era stuff. Takes a hit in value...maybe it doesnt. My girls will be there to scoop up one or two for themselves. ( they are 24 and 27 ) They drive this old hotrod every chance they get. They don't even ask anymore. They just grab the keys and head for the drivers door. Telling me I'm a passenger .......all the time. And I'm loving every minute of it Also... and Hagerty is the one whom suggested I raise the insurance on mine from 75k to 105k two years ago.

Started off as a red with red int 80s issue Johan friction promo. For an all duplicolor rattle can refresh/ I think it turned out pretty good , IMO of course. Its a replica of a project car I bought about out of a northern KY junkyard ( it had been in a flood ) 15-20 years ago. Lost it in a fire about 10 years ago Any comments good or bad. Im ok with . But it feels good to get one done and in the case after a long hiatis away. It will come back out of the case in the near future to detail the hubcaps and the side spear/vents with some highlighter. Thanks for cking it out

The 1965-'68 Full-size Mopars
gtx6970 replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Steve, Mine will NOT be any where near the level you build. For me just getting something to the finish line after such a long hiatus. I think this might be the kit / buildup I need to do just that Mine is a friction chassis promo I bought many years ago for just this build. Other than repaint it and some detail work, It will look the same in my case . If all goes well, that will be by the end of next week. Right now , its painted and sitting idle for a few days so I can polish it out a bit. But no matter, I would love to see what you do with the big boat -
The 1965-'68 Full-size Mopars
gtx6970 replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have been a fan of the big body Mopar's for ages. Actually owned a few. And oddly enough dug this out of the pile just this past week or so . In hopes to try and knock it out and into the case. Owned it nearly 20 years now I guess. So maybe its time . Its to be a replica of a car I owned several years ago -
Trying to get back into the whole modeling groove. One of reissue Johan friction promo Purchased long ago. In plans to replicate a car I used to own. Sadly...the car was destroyed . lost it in a fire. Car is molded red with red interior. But incorrect colors for the year. Simple plan is....a take it apart and paint the correct colors of my old car. I'll do some BMF work on all the trim. Give the paint a light polish. And in the case it goes Duplicolor gloss black and clear . Herbs parts for the interior color. Same as my 66 satellite All rattle cans

How the car was originally equipped. The OE stock tires/wheels go on it every so often, he just prefers it with the 15x7 and F60-15 tires/wheels -

The dark tan car came out of a Junk yard in Canda. But this picture IS NOT the hemi car. This picture has traveled the net and mentioned its the hemi car. That info is false -

Ive bought from them before. a sixpack style hood for the AMT duster and the 71 challenger conversion. All was garbage. Just looking at the picture of the tail pane tells me is trash Thanks, But I will do without first -
