Oh,,,,,MY,,,,,GOD If I didn't know I would swear this was a 1/1 car Absolutley friggen phenominal build You should be proud, I would be

looks killer. Under hood looks dead on the real car. even the ring on the fuel filters matches.

I'll go over door gaps and such to some degree. I build for my own enjoyment and not some judge and if I keep adding detail after detail to the ninth degree it becomes no longer enjoyable. No offense meant to the ones who do take them that far. It's just not for me That said ,,,, and besides,,,,,, majority of the builds I like to do . don't have door openings anyway

Next is the Bud Faubel 1964 Dodge This one has plug wires, carb fuel lines and linkages, and I added one of the then new photoetched grilles.( don't remember who the grille came from ) And working Photo etched hood pins and bezels,, Just for some added realism.

These were done essentially as soon as the Lindberg kit came out, so it's been a while. 1st is the Fugitive driven by Tom Powell. Other than plug wires and Fred Cady decals it's essentially right out of the box .

OH MY GOD. this is just to cool

Monogram had this

In regards to the hood scoop, I have numerous pics of the DLI 1968 Charger and with at least 3 different scoops and even no scoop at all

Are you wanting to convert the Lindberg 1964 Plymouth to a sedan like the Lindberg 1964 Dodge is ? If so Jimmy Flintstone makes a resin body for this conversion. I have one enroute to me now and should be here tomorrow afternoon if you want a reference good or bad. And I just measured the Lindberg 1964 dodge and compared them to a Polar Lights 1965 Dodge. The Lindberg body is almost 3/16" on an inch narrower than the PL 1965 Dodge body is so it would not be an easy swap. plus the curverture at the base of the ft and rear glass is different between the 2

This is not intended to bash the product in any way shape or form as I honestly feel the issues I am having is due to the age of the decals . BUT, I've been buying Slixx decals off an on for the last 10 plus years in hopes to use them all someday. Well, in an attempt to prep and finish some bodies this spring for builds this fall. ( with 1-1 show car season I don't get much model bench time during the summer) In the past 2 months I've had 3 different decal sheets give me fits , the last 2 are unusable. All 3 were decals ( so far ) that I've had problems with were bought years ago. All have been stored properly in a magnetic static cling type photo album in a cool and dry place in the house. I can only summise it's because they are old and have become brittle with age. And I can not get them off the sheet in one piece. So I can only suggest when you get them , use them . Or wait and buy them when the project is ready or soon will be I wasn't sure where to post this , so mods fell free to move it where it needs to be

I don't think so. Never ck'd in person but I was told the polar lights kit is off dememsionaly compared to any of the other 1/25th scale mopar kits I have a couple of each here so I may have to ck

Thanks to all. it felt good to finish one and have something new on the shelf. Although it sticks out like a sore thumb amongst super stock and funnycar builds. But this is the MPC / AMT re-issue that came out , maybe 10 years ago or so ?

In a heartbeat and much much more. My wife, ( along with my 2 daughters ) is my life, and I have no interest to be on this world without her or them.

It's been a long time since I could say this. But I finished one. 1st completed model I've built in over 15 years. Although, Altereds are not exactly my style ( I am a primarly a super stock and funny car fan ) But I bought several of these many years ago when they were re-issued. I painted it back then,,,, then got bored with it and put it away. Now, fast foward to this past spring. I dug it out and decided I needed to finish something , and soon. It was supposed to be 100% box stock ( but that didn't work out so well. ) Just added plug wires and ran some fuel lines to jazz it up without going to crazy. I'll admit , It's far from my best build, and it has some issues. That I 'might' redo someday.( I have to admit,,,, not likely ) But overall I like it and it feels good to actually finish a model in a looooonnnnng time.

I don't own any of there kits, but I have seen a couple in person. , but plan to soon as I want to do a couple more AFX Dodge - Plymouths And everything I've seen looked of very high quality, as good if not better than modelhause ( and thats no easy accomplishment )

the scoop only is already avail thru Reliable Resin, They also have the flat cuda hood. But it's 2 part item that requires molding in the resin scoop on a resin hood I feel the item is best molded as one unit. And yes, the scoop on the actual car appears to be opened up along the bottom of the forward opening. Thats easily done by each individual owner on an as needed basis . Same deal, already avail thru Reliable resin

It is a replica of the same hood used on the 1969 Dodge and Plymouth 440 sixpack cars. Sox and Martin used this same style of hood scoop on both the 1970 (and early 71) Barracuda and there 1971 Duster used it as well it's obviously not intended for the OE stock and/or factory stock builds ----- it's a race car only thing

1st seller I bought one from there online store and was not happy with the quality . 2nd - They 'did' make it, but with all the negatives the seller has received lately I have doubts it's a fluke and is most likely gone. That said , Yes, it is the monogram scoop on an MPC/AMT 1/25th scale hood. And once installed it looks right at home there. I would like to do a AMT/MPC Duster hood next for the S+M 1971 Duster

I have the one I planned to use about done., top and bottom But, I had a brain fart , does any make or currently have avail said hood in resin. I am well aware of a former ebay seller making it, but said seller has since gone south. I have been talking to someone to have said hood replicated. and was wondering if there was a market for it in resin. After receiving a few items from said caster, I am confident it will be a nice piece once done. This is a replica of sixpack scoop style hood on the Sox and Martin 1970 Cuda And other than maybe early in the 1971 season where the 71 S+M car had it. I can think of no other team that ran it. So I am a little leary to procede and have it done. As it is - it will be done to fit the MPC - AMT body but with some timming can be easily adapted to fit the Johan body as well. Once my camera charges up, I'll take a few picture of the one I have done

ps,and just as an FYI - the overal length of a Mopar 4 speed trans with the bellhousing attached versus a 727 auto is the same not different lengths as shown

Consoles were avail all 5 years a Barracuda was produced 1970 thru 1974 . avail with either a slap stick auto or a 4 speed. There are some slight differences though between 1970 only versus the 71 thru 74 versions. In 1970 the console automatics had a round woodgrain shifter ball, 1971 thru 74 was a T handle style 1970 consoles had an empty cavity near the rear edge that allowed the seat belts someplace to be stored when not in use. 1971 thru 1974 consoles had a chrome ashtray there instead ps - the black int shown here is a 1971 only interior style / pattern The red interior pattern shown was 1970 only, BUT 72 thru 74 patterns were similar

In today from missing link Base line bench seat interior for a 68 Roadrunner( same interior as in the Project Six Pack 1969 Roadrunner ) Resin Grilles ( 2 of them ) for the Lindberg 1964 Plymouth - to do it as a correct Hemi car AND a resion early 70's Ford 2 ton truck cab for one of my ramp bed trucks conversions And I have to say these are hands down the best resin parts I've had in my hands to date, bar none. The grille could almost pass for injected stryene parts, it's that nice .

I picked these via the 'bay a week or so ago

If i may, what color +/ or brand paint is the interior ?

Just wanted to give a kudos to Ron at RMR Resins. I received one of his 1965 Dodge crew cab pickup cabs,,,,, and I was quite pleased to say the least. ( had no need for the bed and Ron was more than happy to accomodate my request ) If you need one, you will not be dis-appointed especially for the price .
