Not here yet, but is enroute. Threw a bid on this one thinking for sure I would get outbid. BUT,,, ,,a few hours later I get the email says I won. No idea how that happened. Even has me a little scared its gonna show up a compete turd. iI it does ,, so be it but for the price I cant complain. Complete with the uncut hood, stock front seats . Everything except stock wheel covers ( which I happen to have on hand should I feel the need to go stock) I already have one nice builder of this ,,,, so not 100% sure what the plans for this one will be

Fred Cady Decals remaining inventory
gtx6970 replied to Exotics_Builder's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
So, the way I understand this. Send him a self address envelope, he sends it back with what remains. You make your selection , mail him another self address envelope in hopes no one else bought the ones you wanted?????? -
Deora! What paint color is it really???
gtx6970 replied to OldTrucker's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
No idea the term in the 1/1 world BUT, I remember an article from a builder several years back,,and the best I can remember the closest they got was Testors turnsignal amber airbrushed over a silver base -
What did you see on the road today?
gtx6970 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Not something one usually sees , let alone in an Autozone parking lot of all places. Car was there yesterday afternoon which what I assume was a bent rim and/or bad tire ( tire was marked with blue tape on the sidewall ) I'm pretty sure it was one of these, ( I dont know exotics very well ,,,,,plus didnt have my camera or phone on me ) -

Actually seen this one a few times around here in Sahurita Az. 1965 GTO convertible And it was a 4 spd -
Well. I have them to loan.... should you want to try your hand at resin casting. I thought about removing the seats belt myself ......when the time comes someday. I just want my originals back. One of mine was missing the seats and the hood when I bought it. And and I got lucky and got a set of original seats from Ron Hamilton....for no charge. I owe him bigtime for that. The hood I found in a mixed lot of parts on ebay for next to nothing. Kept the coronet hood and dropped the rest in the trash ( everything else was damaged broken junk btw ) I will make that offer to only a few reputable casters....but not all

Tone the gold color down and you may be on to something. Nos originals had a coating on them that had a slight gold tint.... and I do mean VERY slight tint
-
For some reason. The 2 front seats and the hood are easily the hardest parts to find.

I'll double , no triple your investment

Of that were true. Revell had the decent albeit 1.24th scale. 1971 Cuda in there lineup. Yet they tooled up an all new from scratch 1970 Cuda.

I'll respectively disagree. 1968 Coronet builders consistantly sell for near or usually over $100 on a regular basis. Tells me me there is quite a command for this kit. Unbuilts are another matter. $500 is typically the minimum one can count on. A factory sealed one sold recently for over $1000.

1968 Olds 442 Wheel Options
gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm not 100% certain. But I think it was either rally's or Steel wheels with some version of hubcaps in 1968. I'm not an Olds guru by a long shot...so don't take my opinion to the bank -
WOW, Wish I had seen them. I think I may have most of the parts to fix those, except maybe one hood
-
I have a couple of the MPC trailers , I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them

The mission Impossible kit IS a 1969 Coronet RT convertible

Metallic paint for an interior?
gtx6970 replied to crowe-t's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Try to find a similar color in the duplicolor rattle can. Most of them are designed to have a clear topcoat. But it left as painted will be a satin sheen to it . You just have to find one thats a pearl type finish to avoid the really big metallic -
I personally think your price ranges are a tad light. Ive not seen one for under $50 in a while. I own 3 unbuilt 71 Road runner kits , and not one was purchased in the last 3 or 4 years. Cheapest one was $25 maybe 5 or 6 years back and I think I got really lucky. The other 2 were $45 and $50 ea. Now as for the 72 kit. Be prepared to dig deep, really deep for one. Unbuilts will easily pull $200 - $ 300 range and clean builders top over $100 . Ive seen the guys parting kits out and just the grill typically pulls $20- 25 range. PS, to tool a 71 off the 74 kits is more than just the body , hood and grill and bumpers. The interior pattern is different as well. I was told many years ago by someone connected to the inner workings of the hobby at the time and was told the 71 kit was damaged a long time ago and will NOT return without a MAJOR investment by the manufacturer
