  1. I was in Home Depot the other day and spotted this Is it dead on? probably not But . close enough for me I used Duplicolor early Ford blue for my 67 GTX build. And IMO its a little too dark
  2. Following along with interest here Ive always thought this particular car was cool. Having a kit of it would be nice to have
  3. Another question for them. Were there just the one superbird. OR , were there actually 2 of them Depending on who you ask - where you read , I get both answers
  4. Very well done. And Its not even in my wheelhouse of the cars that interest me to build I followed along on the WIP And the amount of work you put in it asstounding to say the least But if I may ask. In the black and white photos the car appears to be a darker color. Noticed the light color car next to it in one photo????? I would think yellow car will appear very similar , even in black and white
  5. Dont worry about it. Its a part I do not use be in this weeks mail . But might be a day or 2
  6. I should / might. Will ck tomorrow Provided all the MPC kits used same support
  7. We have similar tastes I have 6 thunderbolt built. And decals.to do maybe 3 or 4 more. Just need to get to them
  8. I can only speak for Mopars But no body color underside ever. Unless owner done during a restoration. Most.were a medium Grey. Dull black for LA Plant built cars. With a dusting of body color along the edges only Flat black would be for undercoated cars
  9. So the camaro was same time or right before the 1970-72 Dusters ?
  10. Ronnie. Buddy and Jake all had roots in Fords before their Chrysler association . Especially Jake King. But I've read numerous stories why their engines were Ford blue. Unfortunately the only ones that might know are Buddy Martin and Herb McCandless Both of which will be at Chryslers at Carlisle next weekend
  11. After looking at this kit sit on my shelf for the past 30 years or more. I think it's time has come to do something with it. I'm leaning heavily towards a stock box build. The more commonly called 'KISS' method. (Keep it simple stupid.) But....i have the resin sixpack hood and a rat roaster intake to go MP car. Problem is I'm not sure i want to go another more detailed build with better chassis etc etc etc. Might come down to how well the paint on the resin hood turns out I'm plan to use aftermarket decals either way. Odds the kits decals are any good...is unlikely An issue to deal with is, there is not a lot of info / pictures out there on this particular car So far I, pretty certain there were actually 2 SM birds Both hemi 4spds, white bucket seats interior no console in either. The SS/E car had a blue painted roof , the MP car was stock black vinyl top Neither car had the Bird specific scoops on the fenders . WHY, I've no idea. Decisions decisions
  12. Whats the time line on the Leal cars. This Camaro Before or after his time in the 65 Belvedere ( the 70s version Plymouth )
  13. Looks good I've got one of these kits And want to do it someday I'm struggling with whats next for the bench . So maybe its time??????
  14. Im not a Sports car type persay But I could live with a Ford GT40 - a recreation would be just fine or even one of the mid 2000s Ford GT would fit the bill. A 1st gen Viper GTS coupe could be a suitable substitute I'll add , If money is no object an original Ferrari 250 GTO is numero uno.
  15. Very. Very nice I wish that interior was available in the aftermkt. My old car had that exact same interior. Only black
  16. You have my interest Keep up the good work
  17. I have this exact kit. And was thinking use some kind of dampened material to spray thru to get a pattern similar to the 1/1
  18. This is just plain cool I can only imagine how the real car handles,,,,Or should I say doesnt handle
  19. Yes, My first Moebius kit of any kind. But definitely not my last. I have the grand idea to build all 12 of the original Amble-wagon done cars I have the Landy and Leal cars in the case but they are old Good Stuff resin kits. So,,,only nine more to go
  20. I use Ebay on a regular basis And ALWAYS pay with Paypal . It pulls from an account I have setup strictly for Ebay purchases Ive never had a problem in over 20 years ( knocks on wood ) ps, ALWAYS ck the sellers feedback rating
  21. My grail MPC Barry Setzer Vega funnycar I own a mint sealed inside kit as well as a few decent builders Followed real close by the Johan 1969 GTX and the MPC 1968 Color Me Gone Funnycar
  22. Best build of this kit. I've seen yet. One of my all time favorites And i didn't even build it.
