Minor update 4spd for the Leal car Auto version robbed from the Golden Commandos version for the Doc Burgess car Undecided if I'm going to do spark plug wiring.....or not.

A tandem build as both cars essentially the same exact kit ( Im using the Butch Leal kit for both cars ) Leal car is all kit decals. The Jenkins driven Dox Burgess car has Slixx decals. They were at least 10 years old , So i had my fingers crossed they were still good. The Doc Burgess car will get an auto transmission conversion . Otherwise they will be basically straight out of the box builds. A lot of the major components for both cars were painted a few weeks ago when we had basically zero % humidity ( Gotta love southern AZ weather ) First up the Butch Leal car , Tamiya orange , kit decals Race hemi orange for the engine

If , ( Key word ) I go so far as to wire a build The only ones I use come from MAD Distributors - Morgan Automotive Detail I have several of them on hand right now They actually look like a dist cap as opposed to most just look like an aluminum tube with wires hanging out of it ( My opinion )

I have a lot of the 50-60s annuals And if you take out the goofy custom stuff in the kits The actual build has what maybe total of 10 parts ? Give or take depending on the actual kit Body, chassis , interior, dash, steering wheel. ft - rear bumper and glass, wheels / hubcaps and tires

Kris Morgan at MAD automotive 8 Cylinder Tan Cap - Morgan Automotive Detail Same goes for the spark plug wiring photo etch stuff

I like it . Well done sir Its a shame the screwed the pooch on the roof line with that kit

Nailed it. I like this one , A LOT !!!!!! I have these decals and a kit in the stash for a someday build. And was wondering what was wrong with the interior. So pulled it and noticed its a convertible tub . Now I'll have to decide if I want to get that far into a conversion . But I REALLLLLLLY like the Bostrom seats you did . I need to get a few pairs from Missing LInk maybe I think

To the best of My knowledge. SM never ran a 1969 GTX , in any form or class

Far to many kits produced that have them for a resin caster to offer them IMO To me the best versions available are in the Revell series of mopar kits They are also avail in the AMT Mopar B. Body series kits. I have several sets from the AMT kits. If they will work for you.... Pm me

Finally have my all time favorite drag car in the case. Added spark plug wiring and fuel injection lines from the tank to the pump. All Tamiya Paints except duplicolor acrylic clear lacquer. Slixx for the decals Rear wheels and tires from the Revell 1967 GTX Swapped the 4spd engine halves with the Dodge version of the kit to make this one a 4spd A satin clear on the kits chrome ft bumper to replicate polished aluminum Blue tinted acetate file folder sheet used for the side glass I made my own window frames using some plastistruc strips This is the 1st one of these kits I've left the front spindles so the wheels were posable, And I like it much better Im really happy with how this one turned out * On a side note The tires / Keystone rims from the Revell 1967 GTX are a near perfect fit for this kit like they were made for it

So far I am liking this stuff I did a set of headers and so far, so good BUT, once coated . Do not handle them for a few days I did the next day and it and it takes the shine off them Not a big issue for me as the effect is still the same. All this said, my impression so far is all good. Would I use it to coat a bumper as an example? No But builds where you may want a chrome real axle or suspension parts, it would be perfect

Any upcoming shows in the area here soon ? I have some kits I have decided I want to thin down, Way down

Like title says I need just a windshield for one of them I dont think it matters which version pm me and we will work out details

My kind of thread

I just brushed this stuff on a set of headers I needed in a chrome like finish And have to say , It looks amazing. I'll let them sit all weekend then brush on the clear

I did one last year to replicate by old car . Good kit btw My old Demon 340 , DONE , Finally - Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum

Cool, I like the 63-64 Big Fords I have few of ea on the shelf , And they make great looking race cars. so maybe someday here soon

The side glass is blue tinted acetate file folder sheet The kits clear ft and rear + glass will be attached with clear elmers glue Yes. Should be done ...next few days Need to figure out what I want to use to paint the exhaust headers .

Nice

Love it And I have original AMT '59 in the stash and a '60 thats done I like the cars look , great body lines

Looks good. I just put some of this in my amazon cart

Finally test fit of all the pieces. Should be done 1st of next week ( fingers crossed ) Just noticed. I need to paint the headliner ( So there IS a reason I take pictures,, to see things I didnt see )

I'll keep that idea for the next time I decide to get this detailed on a build. Maybe this one ?

I tried that. Didn't like how it crazed the glass. Much happier with this.

Not fun. Made clear blue side glass from acetate file folder sheets. Then made door frames with plastistruk pieces glued in with clear glue Once this dries a day or 2, I'll touch up the edges of the 'glass' with superglue to set it in tight
