  1. I have 3 of these wall mounted. All full. Based on the builders/unbuilts I have remaining. I figure I'll need 2 more,,,,,,ok maybe 3 but who's counting https://shop.carneyplastics.com/NASCAR-Diecast-Model-Car-Display-Case-21-Car-124-P446.aspx
  2. I personally would like to see a Dodge pickup from the early sixties thru 1970
  3. Fyi. Go mango isn't even close to that. Flaming orange has a lot of big metallic in it. This is flame orange
  4. Im personally not much of a fan of the 63 . My vote is 64 ,,,although I may be slightly biased
  5. I've seen several pictures and articles on this car. Best I remember.......And I think the chassis was a real light metallic blue
  6. What engine for the Dodge and Plymouth ?
  7. Which ones were auto ? As far as I know Both Paper Tiger 1 and 2 were both 4 spds. 1 is hardtop, ,,,2 was sedan . The hardtop has never been found btw
  8. Same here. Im pretty much to the point sell off al my modern kits ( kits made in the past 25 - 30 years ) And concentrate on my older annuals and drag kit builtups from the late 50s to early 70s This is just the old shelf. Pretty much everything in this shelf was made prior to approx mid 70s time frame. So I think I have more than enough stuff to build in here alone
  9. I used guitar string to make park brake cables on this . And they sure look the part. BUT IMO. They are far to rigid to use as underhood wiring . This same car I used the smallest detail master wiring I had. Wound several strands / colors together and painted them black . Leaving the different color ends exposed I did this car maybe 25 years ago. One of these days I'll update the ugly kit blob they called a carb
  10. Should be simple decal change. EXCEPT ....This kit appears to be an auto trans. Where as the Leal car was a 4 spd if memory serves me right
  11. OD avail in a 64? No I'm sure there was a low performance 3 spd avail. But....I'm not sure it was column shift or not. And it was probably only avail behind a slant six.........MAYBE a poly 318. I know the early max wedge cars ( 1962 -63 ) had a high performance 3 spd but it was floor shift only. Ps......by 64 the 413 was long gone. Very early cars had a 426 max wedge. The hemi arrived early in the model year. A 426 street wedge (single 4 barrel) was avail thru 65
  12. Yes ....and no. For me personally for the most part. I already had the vast majority of the old annuals I wanted by the time they closed up. And I have tried my best to buy them complete over the years . If not I was not opposed to buying a 2nd one to steal parts from and trade or sell off the remains. Just recently I bought a junkyard 1960 mercury builder just for the stock hubcaps and tail light lenses. Then sold the remains on Facebook and got pretty close to my investment back I'm not a big fan of resin in general......unless I absolutely have no other option . Or there is/was no styrene version of what I'm after. But ....... my buying kits in general has slowed DRAMATICALLY the past year or 2 anyway. So to me loosing modelhaus was no big deal. But I can see where there is now a huge loss to the modeling community with them closing up.
  13. AND liked model cars. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2012/02/23/rush-drummers-models?fbclid=IwAR3xXNHtZ6jaqW69eeCpFL80Cz1tewrTkInZ7TA3qlU9Zcss1sj6KXWcsBQ
  14. Nice. I'm not a customs fan. But down deep I think I need to build one of these
  15. Just one? With your screen name I would have thought at least a half dozen. I'm waiting to see who has the best deal then I want to get AT LEAST a half dozen
  16. I might be interested in pretty much any brass era car in 1/24 or 25th scale
  17. Saw this headed south on I-19 south of Tucson Az.
  18. I dont have either version , I think about buying one of these kits as I would like the pieces to make a 396 convertible. Just never put forth the effort ( $$$$$ ) to make it happen
  19. I have one like that around here somewhere. I think it was made by MPB products ?
  20. I dont know the early cars very well, But I believe the difference is in the floorpan behind the front seats
  21. its GOT to be WAAAAAAY up there. But fun none the less
  22. Like the title says. Any good model swap meets or shows in the next few months in the southwest AZ area Im planning to dramatically thin the pile down and will be selling off a bunch of kits and individually in facebook groups is a pain
  23. https://www.goodwood.com/grr/event-coverage/members-meeting/2017/1/video-the-perfect-vantage-point-as-gt40s-slide-at-74mm/
  24. Price / value is entirely relative to timing https://www.ebay.com/itm/MPC-1968-DODGE-CORONET-R-T-KIT-1768-200-FACTORY-SEALED-/163972792661?epid=0&hash=item262d8a4155%3Ag%3Aq-AAAOSwG8ld5qdh&nma=true&si=%2B%2FCnr47hcWdmZw5oojhMa2i61Dg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
