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

Use same material . Cut up small pieces and drop them in a jar of acetone to make a glue like consistency mixture. Cut some pieces to fill the bulk of the hole and glue in from front and backside. Once dry....sand and paint. I've used this method to fix multiple plastic grills in old cars

I've heard back. Game him all kinds of pictures and measurements. Waiting on a quote right now. Fingers crossed he can help me

I got some Tamiya clear on this end of last week. And was quite displeased in the gloss it gave...or lack of to be more accurate. I spent almost all day polishing it by hand . It's OK. But far from perfect. I'll go back to duplicolor or maybe Upohl urethane clear from here on. I'm in southern AZ. So can't blame it on humidity....we ain't got none

I picked up some more strips yesterday Will try a few ideas next week

OK. I've been told the body is super accurate. But would only want it to build a oe stock Mach 1 Guessing revell for the rest of it

Can this kit be built replica stock

Looks amazing. But am curious, Why not just use the Johan Body with Moebius for everything else
