With only a few minor setbacks and maybe even some squinting of the old eyes The Injected hemi , Is done I'm using some photos of the restored Paper Tiger II car for some kind of clear reference.

Agreed EXCEPT,,, for myself as example I build Chrysler Muscle cars and the only black firewall , is in a black car

Amazing work Steve, But its not an option for guys such as myself that build mostly box stock stuff. But I will be the 1st one to applaud the guys like yourself that go that deep. And truly enjoy looking at them. Plus watching them come to fruition in pictures I have A LOT of kits I want to build , cars i want to replicate while I still can. And taking months on months on one kit is not in the cards I'm afraid the days I go that deep into details on a model car,,,,is well behind me. ( and I have never gone as far into details like yourself. ) But, Thats me and me alone. I spent nearly a year on one single build many years ago. And vowed never again Im doing simple fuel lines and spark plug wiring on one right now. And there is already a voice in the back of my mind starting to wish I hadn't opened that can

I have 3 of them coming. So will post a decent picture in my A990 thread ( when I actually start said A990 builds ) As one of them is slated for the Doc Burgess car The other 2 will be for near future AFX Dodge builds

In all honesty. I think they may just be resin cast Either way they will fit my needs perfectly , especially for the money Mopar 727 Trans & Pan - Morgan Automotive Detail 3D scale parts makes an actual 3d printed version. But doesn't appear to sell it as a seperate item https://www.ebay.com/itm/134525172325

Thanks for the note I have since found out the Doc Burgess car was in fact column auto, real A990 hemi car White with tan / goldish bucket seat interior. I am a member on a few different face book groups as well as Class racer / Jalopy Journal etc etc . So finding info is " usually" possible but sometimes it takes a while I know the former owner of the Strickler car. He is the one who restored it. Sadly the main chassis / interior tub was beyond repair. So its essentially a rebody ( he has since sold the car ) In regards to these kits. I agree. They are very nice. And I wish they would combine both trans in both versions As 8 out of the original 12 were Auto cars . With the only AFX Dodge to run a 4spd was the Strickler. Landy's car was built 4spd, but campaigned auto Makes it kind tough on us replica drag car builders. I actually just ordered some 3d printed 727s from MAD yesterday as I plan to build all 12 of the original cars,,, Albeit slowly but surely. I have a SM 65 AFX in process right now. Then the 2 A990 SS cars will be next in line Nice work on the Strickler car btw

Injected version won out. Mainly because it's the version of the car I think of when Paper Tiger is mentioned. Decided on a litter bit extra. Detail wise Now to figure how Hilborn injection is plumbed. If anyone has hints, tips or a diagram. I'm all ears.

'New' black sharpie

I dont have Future floor wax And dont think I can get it anymore Im just tinting the side glass and its pretty flat So making it 'shouldn't ' be too big of a deal

Thanks, I didnt even think of the lacquer part of the equation Lesson learned I just ordered some clear blue tinted file folders and will make my own side glass

well, I tried the TS 72 on clear glass today Tinted it but it crazed the inside of the glass , and now cant see thru it Which kind of defeats the purpose I tried it on clear acetate with no issues so might just make my own side glass for this one

3 great builds. Found them doing picture search for the Doc Burgess car So, Gotta ask . Are your sure that car was an auto. I'll have this very build on the bench here REALLY soon Edit, Did some digging and asking people who where there back then. The car was in fact a column shift auto

Dug a pair of bodies out while the weather was nice and with near zero % humidity Prepped, painted and decals applied. Will clear them today Be next ones on the bench

Enamel clears are what causes the yellowing over time

That's what I'm thinking . But wasn't sure . As I can't find a real clear picture of the car that shows the decal clearly.

I do. I Have both the Dick Landy and the Butch Leal AFX cars already done Both were Built long ago but from a Good Stuff resin kit.

Looking great so far. Excellent work / colors on the interior

Thanks I'll pick some up this week. And practice a bit

I have it here I would eventually like to build either the A990 car. Or Paper Tiger 2

Anyone used this to tint model car windows ? Hints or tips if u have

Ps, anyone able to identify the round decal on the quarter panel ? The car where Buddy and Ronnie are standing next to it. Is THE car I think of when Paper Tiger comes into my mind, so its my leading candidate to replicate at the moment The very first version ( blue Pentastar on the door and crossram with carbs ) of the car 'just might' be a down the road project

Body is fully painted and 3 coats clear. I dint want to take a chance on old Fred Cady sheet. So. Ordered a new slixx sheet yesterday Found a duplicator gold that is REALLY close to the original interior color in my mind. Ford Harvest Gold I can get a lot more than maybe two cars out of it versus Tamiya Titanium Gold. For about the same money

Thanks Tom. Yes. They can be / are very addictive I like them for how well they go together with essentially zero issues. Next one for me is Bobby Harrops Flying Carpet AFX . Decals for it arrived last week. That is my last Dodge kit I have on hand. I have one more Plymouth. Haven't decided if it's going to be one of the Golden Commandos or the Melrose Missle AFX

I have not. At least I don't think I have These cars changed almost weekly so you can pretty much don't rule anything out in how they appeared at any given point in time I have a Speed City resin 1965 AFX hardtop. I bought years ago before these Moebius kits were avail. I may just use it to build the topless version Melrose Missile , Someday

Thanks for the faith in me that I can actually pull it off. But I would prefer to build both the Paper Tiger 1 AND Paper Tiger 2 ( the sedan ) Plus I have the kit to build the Sox Martin 1965 A990 car that ultimately became PT 2 The current plan is when the time comes to build the Mule replica. It will be a crossram / carb car. Im gonna need more kits on the shelf As I only have one more of ea Dodge / Plymouth kits
