Nice, I have both the 1958 and a 1960 Edsels to build as well, Gives me all 3 years . All convertibles

I might. Will ck tomorrow

Ive seen some early on photos of this car it was still running the crossram and holley carbs Like mentioned, these cars changed week to week

I think most of the 59 hardtops were Re-released in snap or craftsman series kits. But as far as I know the convertibles were one and done with exception to a 59 Ford Sunliner ( molded in yellow version )

Great looking car. Even with its quirks It makes a great display and not commonly seen build

Not an easy one to find. Ive never seen another one built yet

Not sure how rare it is , But I started with a near mint unbuilt kit

This ^^^^ Hobby Lobby has whats called beading wire. Avail in a few different sizes and colors I believe

Nice. I just picked up one of these kits today. Was gonna just build it box stock Not anymore You just made my decision on which car to replicate.

Thanks didnt think of that Dug out the remains of the decal sheet and sprayed the Tamiya clear over top of the Testors I had sprayed a few days ago. NO issues Thanks again Is now cleared and set aside to cure for a few weeks, Then will take a light hand polish to it Im on a prep, paint and decal a bunch of bodies for a while. As I have a boatload of decals I want to use up before they get any older Word to the wise for anyone who wants to build this particular car using the current MPC kit. The decals take some work to fit, even then not perfect . I think they were designed for the Johan kit

Ok, short version of long story In fear of having issues with slixx decals I cleared over them with Testors Wetlook clear ( All I had here for the time ) I have no local source for Testors, But have one for Tamiya . Are both clears a Lacquer Paint is rattle can Duplicolor red in the larger touch up cans Ive used both clears on said base paint before with no issues. So the body paint I have no concerns But Can I use the tamiya clear on this build with the decals having been cleared with Testors on them with no issues Is the new Testors Extreme Lacquer and Testors One coat clear same as the old Wet look ? ,,,just different label

I don't think a belv sedan had any trim on the back end. Odds are what ever trim is on the race car was owner added

I have a Johan 1964 Dodge nearly this exact color Im considering doing this as you describe

Thanks. This particular car along with the CMG 68 funny are my 2 all time favorites Great looking cars

Thanks Looking at pictures including the I posted. It shows a pretty long tins covering the blower hat. I'll build the chassis box stock And make my own forward tin to cover it seal to the body.

This car

Ok. I have a body I bought several years ago. I have it sitting on a polar lights chassis and tins. Issue is. Engine and interior tins is to far back from the windshield. If I move the engine and that section of the tin. I have an issue where the tin no sits down on the seat bucket .if that makes sense. So should I leave engine where it's at...and just extend / custom make an interior tin piece where it seals to the base of the windshield? This is slated to be Nelson Carters Imperial Custom car ..the bright green version

Thanks. I've been here almost 6 years. And found no issues with any kit stored there. Knocks on wood Summers here are quite warm But fortunately the house/ garage faces east. So it doesn't get the full blast when the sun is hottest. At least That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it Again....knocks on wood

I usually paint them black or same color as the exterior

Found. One. And one only Please delete the post

WANTED in 1.25th scale Mine disintegrated in the water I need this sheet

Had the box down this was in so, Threw some paint on it to see how it looked. Its an original Barry Setzer MPC vega AA/FC kit ( not a big fan of the Revell version ) Paint is Tamiya TS20 metallic green over a Tamiya silver leaf base color to seal the molded in red body color And I LIKE IT Anyone dare a guess as to which car Im thinking ?

Been trying to get my garaged better organized.I bought an upright storage cabinets for various household stuff. Car parts . Tools etc etc So decided while I was there. Pulled a bunch of kits out to thin the stash down. As i truely dont see myself building them all. And organized the ones that will stay. At 65....I better get busy building. My taste gravitates to vintage drag cars. And Mopar factory stock stuff. Various kits of all makes and models. Ranging from early 30s to early 70s ...mostly old drag car kits White boxed kits are all old annuals ranging from 1958 thru about 1965. I've really thinned the pile way down from what it was 5 or 6 years ago. To maybe a 3rd of what I used to have.

Ok. How about these. The 65 Plymouths might be close. But I don't have one to ck in person I need these for my current car
