Painted the body back approx 2017 Decided recently to push this one to the finish line Front bumper/grill. Rear bumper, Tail lights bezels and fender turn signal indicators. As well as Tires and wheels are from the Revell 1959 Retractable kit Paint is Krylon I believe. And is tough to get the color to show correctly in pictures . SO,,, I took a bunch. Color is supposed to be Geranium Or at least close enough for me . Even though it is most certainly a pinkish coral color in person Interior is mostly hand painted via free hand Feels good to get this one out of the box and in the case

I have an original issue 1968 Barracuda. I started on years ago I cut up a Revell 1969 Dart chassis I'll have to dig it out and take a few pics ( need to find it first )

I would be all in for a 71 Cuda in 1.25th scale Be it a basic rehash using the MPC / AMT 72-74 Body. OR modify the Revell 70 kit as a starting point Keep in mind the Interior pattern for the standard seats is 1971 Barracuda only and looks nothing like any other years Both the original MPC issue and the Monogram kit copied the leather interior seat pattern

I've been to the Madison Regatta outside of Cinn Oh a few times They are definitely something to watch and see in person Ive decided to get into using my new airbrush here soon And finding these colors in rattle cans is tough / and expensive This car is on my short list to do here soon. I have a really nice builder kit for it 1969 Dodge Hemi Coronet R/T Convertible For Sale At Auction - Mecum Auctions Can I use Tamiya primer for these paints. How about clear top coats ,

I'll have to remember this trick. I have several old annuals to build. And the few I pulled out yesterday . None had mint windshields in them Will do Thanks all for the suggestions

No Just rubbed and rubbed..then rubbed some more Never real hard pressure as my fear was breaking it

Bmf work is done. THAT was fun. Ok....not really Interesting how much difference the color looks in or out of sunlight The interior and the exterior of the body are the same exact color . Only difference. Body has a gloss clear on it and interior has a semi gloss clear In natural light up close It definitely has a pinkish cast to it.

Well. I spent almost 2 hrs just polishing and polishing. Figured I had nothing to loose It polished out really well Not flawless. You can see a ghost image of the scratch if you look at it from an angle and Brite lite In Natural light... it's gone Overall I'm happy and can live with it.

Thanks all, Ive gone thru all my old annuals and none of them have the same glass ( even the old 59 Mercury ) So Im at either try my hand to make one, ,,,,try to polish it out best I can ( I have a fear of snapping it in half ) or look for a replacement , be it modern kit or original annual kit, Neither of which seem to be much of a viable option

I just tried the glass from this one. Not even close , WAY too short in all aspects I have a 59 Mercury kit here . I can use. Its a little better . But not perfect either Still going thru my annuals boxes as I have just about all the late 50- early 60ds builders I dont have one of the AMT 57 Ford kits here to try

I may have to give this a try , then maybe make the vent wing glass separately . I think the glass has some compound curves in it I may not be able to pull off Mostly scratches. a few you can hang your nail in . I've tried a polish I have here and no help. Looking for my bottle of Future now to see if I dip it will help

My front glass is a little tattered Anyone know of the windshield from the modern 1960 Starliner will fit? Ive tried the front glass from the revell retractable kit and its close , but leaves no room for error for install

Thanks, Yes, All stock build with full wheel covers and wide whitewall tires

Well, Interior is about done. Not to shabby for mostly freehand I can live with it Same colors as body , only semi gloss clear on interior, flat clear of top boot Black Flocking for the carpet

Thanks, I did not know that

Not aware of that. Got any pictures ?

That kit has chrome magnums. Not steel wheels and hubcaps

Picture?

I don't mind the cost of the sheet from STS. but would like to see it on a Kit Plus have to figure out how to get the texture a vinyl roof has ????

Is this the only source for this color of a Mod top for a 1969 Dodge build ? Anyone used it , If so Pics please I want to see how it scales on a kit Mod top blue green paisley Water Slide Decal Sheet – STSDecals

I'm thinking use a spare gts interior tub. Make a bench seat for my next one. It'll at least look the part I'm after.

Well, Today was an experimental day After some spoons color tests. with various Blues. I sprayed out the TS54 ( on the left ) and it was far too light....SO,,,,, I tried it directly over the darker TS51 on a spoon test ( on the right ) And . BINGO,,,,Its not a huge changed from straight TS54, But just enough I think It nailed the color I was after

That's what I was afraid of. Pretty much confirms my findings. Now to figure out how to get the texture under a decal

Well. Decision made. I couldn't live with it Plus I want to widen the hood stripes So....Taped It back up. And will Reshoot it later today.

I know the the 1968 Dart kits has 2 versions.... One with ( GSS ) and one without ( hemi dart ) a molded vinyl top. Is the 69 Dart non molded vinyl top only ?
