  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. Paint is polished. Didnt turn out to bad for a rattle can Grill and tail lights detailed BMF work is almost done. Hopefully. Assy tomorrow afternoon
  4. It was a project but rust free and complete. 440 TNT motor, console auto, Factory air, factory cruise control pwr drum brakes. In 15 years or more, Ive yet to see another one like it I was crushed when I heard of the fire
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Anyone able to confirm what color the Original issue was for this car Orange , Or white. ?
  9. Cool. Never would have guessed that. Many thanks
  10. Anyone able to verify what this is for
  11. I ordered the 66 Satellite stuff the day it was ready.,, last week NO confirmation on anything yet Been in talks with him for several months to have them made. In my experience, He is super slow to answer emails
  12. I dont have one of the HUG kits to ck Anyone with both able to post some side by side pictures with the front bumper from the GTX versus the rear bumper from the HUG Im wondering if its passable for my conversion
  13. My 1966 Satellite conversion made from a Revell 67 GTX kit. Trying to make sure it sits similar to the actual car
  14. This is the other one known, Hemi 4spd, In burnt tan metallic Its FT6 I think is the correct term for the color, The 3rd one , Built for the USA market, has never been found and believed to have been destroyed many many years ago
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Ok, I guess for $12 I'll take a chance as I cant find them anywhere else. I want to build a replica of this car . The one and only 1970 Coronet RT vert 426 Hemi auto A friend of mine owns the very car
  18. Both the duster hood And the 71 Challenger grill and tail panel were so thin and flimsy there was no fixing it . I eventually dropped them all in the trash
  19. 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
  20. Anyone know who made or still makes the side scoops and tail light panel for the AMT / MPC 1970 Coronet I saw them on ebay a few years ago, Now cant find them
  21. https://www.3dscaleparts.com/product-page/1-25-66-plymouth-sattelite-front-grill-and-rear-panel-bumper I have one on order. so we will see how they fit and report back
  22. Bump. The 3d Printed pieces are coming , soon I believe
