Pick up some half round wood strips Put double sided tape on the flat side and stick to the shelf front and rear Paint or stain the wood strips the color of your choice

Thanks, I went back and forth for days looking for info / trying to determine the correct color. I decided on a Tamiya rattle can color , cant remember the name but its a pearl white with a high gloss clear on top of that ,,,,,I think. The kit can be a little tricky to get the body assembled. If I were to do another one. I think I would cut the floor / chassis out of it and assemble the body as one piece. Then build it like a normal modern day kit

These threads always turn into wish lists How about any 1962 thru 1971 Dodge pickups

Best I have. I built this close to 10 years ago now I think. I went with a pearl white. As I never found with 100% certainty the exact color. Was it green.? Was it blue? Was it white ? Or some combination of the colors. No matter..mines done and I have zero interest to change it now.

I've got one I built several years ago. They make for a nice shelf piece once done

I did. They do nothing for me. But the sponsor that put the meet and greet together wanted that photo ( Griotts Garage btw )

How about 9 real hemi cars in one place, 8 shown here ( including one of the 36 real 1968 Hemi GTX verts ) And we had a last minute addition in a bronze 1969 Charger 500 arrive on Saturday Left to right are 1968 Roadrunner hemi auto 1969 Coronet RT ,Hemi 4spd 1968 Superbee Hemi auto 1968 GTX conv , hemi auto. 1966 Coronet 440 , hemi auto 1966 Satellite , hemi auto ( mine ) 1966 Satellite , hemi 4spd 1966 Coronet 500 , hemi auto

A new grill proof This project might to come to fruition yet

Finally got a proof back for the decal to replicate the trunk finish panel on the 1/1 car Still waiting on proofs to have the grill and tail lights 3d printed

Not that I m aware of. You might look at the bench seats in the AMT 1968 Roadrunner as an option . But pattern is different

I didnt know the museum was still operating Any better pictures the whjite Superbird ?

Ive got my car apart for some maint work. and decided to snap off a few pictures the average modeler doesn't see The valve arragement is oddly strange to most.

High performance cars with low performance drivers = a not good situation

Interesting..I have 3 or 4 of them, And I think all of them are white plastic

Not much help. but cool picture none the less

Pm sent

There is / was a quick build of the kit.' The pre painted version. Im assuming it was a snap kit, so maybe its not ' All I need is the tires and stock hubcaps. I want to update my original 58 annual builder

Anyone have a set of these they are willing to part with . Hopefully i have something to trade you out of them with

I worked on those cars new. They were a medium grey primer or gelcoat. with just a tad of body color along the edges

Test fit

Painted the interior with the same exact paint used on hard plastic pieces of the actual car. A metallic crimson clear red sprayed over a silver base I made a plate to cover the radio on the kit dash as my car doesn't have one. Also converted the 67 style 3 spoke wheel to a correct 2 spoke for 1966 Im waiting to hear back if the 3D guy is thinking make the correct 66 seat pattern , or not. So I may not use these in this build.

Well, Job well done

I just ordered a new sheet today directly from BMF. Havent been able to find it locally for a couple months

Engine is a mix of parts box stuff to the hemi and auto. Painted duplicolor hemi orange. Chassis plate is simple out of the box just painted to kinda sorta look like an OE bottom side. ( which my car is not) I think the turndown exhaust is revell 68.69 charger??? Which is where the rear springs and Dana will be sourced

The 65 Belvedere grill has a noticeable peak in it the 66 Does not. Not to mention a completely different pattern I have a couple ideas on both the grille and taillights. AND Also talking to a 3D guy maybe working out the pieces all get done in 3d print, ( fingers crossed it works ) he was already thinking about it . So I sent him all kinds of pictures to get some ideas . If need be, I will send him a spare body to test fit In the mean time, I spent a little time in the garage today working on the body conversion. So far,,,,,,So good. But I still have a long way to go
