Same here. for 2 reasons, 1st - most of what I build are old annuals most of the time they've been painted and stripped at least once, sometimes several times. SO the emblems are not as crisp as a modern kit allowing me to do the few coats of paint then foil method. 2nd - I use rattle cans 99 % of the time ( which Im sure plays a part in my method ) and this method helps hide the edge of the foil , so to speak

I believe the paint code is T7 Just for grins . ..... the above and this one are pictures of the same car. As Found in a Canadian junkyard There were a total of 3 1970 Hemi Coronet RT convertibles. This one, Sold new in Canada , there was a FJ5 limelight one, sold new in Switzerland .( imported back into the US maybe early 90s timeframe. ) Then a 3rd one produced/sold for the US market , that one is unaccounted for as far as I know

I believe it was MCW made them for this car as well. ( no idea if accurate or not ) BUT it required a resin body purchase to get them , I said no thanks. I'm still wanting to know what the decal on the decklid said . Ive never found a clear picture to show that area If you find them to do either the 1964 max wedge hardtop and/or the Hemi sedan , PM me. I would like them as well ps, I "THINK ' the decals you have would work for the 63 Plymouth . Ive yet to find a color picture of this car but IMO the letter is all white

Modelhaus used to. Ive seen it in resin elsewhere....just cant remember who or where . I " might" have a spare grille. But dont want to say for sure. Will ck this weekend

WOW, , just seems so mediocre But, WOW,

yes it does. I have a built Chevy2 and compared it to a builtup Chevelle I have here I almost think the chevy 2 interior tub will work in the malibu body. Might have to do some work on the pkg tray area at the most wheelbase between the 2 is dead on identical

In 1.25th scale the difference will be minimul at best...if at all. I would take a look at the amt 1969 gtx conv kit.

If I see a build that appears well done. I'll comment . If I see issues , especially blatant ones . I just keep any and all comments to myself. No worries about said slippery slope so to speak. Even though I think most people can and are willing to accept minor critiques. Momma always told me, cant say something nice, say nothing at all

I dont understand. if they're not for sale,,,,,,, so to speak, why design them ?

Agreed

Cool car

Looking good so far. I had a decent original mpc 1970 ...but decided i would never build it. So i sold it a few months back

Looks killer. Ive been wanting to build this car myself. Never thought about using thw cougar chassis and stock amt body. You given me an idea i cant get out of my head . Ive no real interest to build a stock comet. And have a bunch of amt cougar funnycar kits i can use for chassis . Did you use the cougar int tins ?

Looking good

Conversion kit to change the Revell 67 GTX into a 1966 Satellite Conversion kit to change the AMT 1957 Chrysler 300 into a 58

I had thought about replacing the decals with after market. But.....just cant bring myself to pull it apart. I've got maybe 4 or 5 more builds. Similar condition that will most likely remain as is(all old drag cars ) My appologies to the op for taking the original post way off track .

Sure looks like it.

Tough call. My 1st thought is use the current 71 and make it really nice / accurate replica . BUT....... I got lucky and managed to pick up a real clean built car a couple years ago. As I was giving some serious thoughts to build one from the current 71 Duster . Now,,,,I have serious doubt I'll ever take this apart and do anything to upgrade it. Its survived this long I would feel bad to take it apart now

Wasnt me, didnt even bid on it. I did bid on the 67 chrysler ,,,but got outbid earlier today. Im buying to build and wasnt going to pay extraordinary amount to get it

Depends A LOT on just how much glue was used.

The Ramchargers kit would probably better kit to start with ,,,its got the crossram hemi this car had

Quit being a tease. post away

Hopefully these give you a good idea. If any questions ask away

Grey primer on the floor with some body color over-spray along the outer edges, more in the inner wheel house areas. undercoating then sprayed in the wheel house areas. rear axle suspension stuff with be a semi gloss black rear axle , leaf springs will be either bare metal or black . gloss black front lower K frame , the front suspension is mostly bare steel shocks are a low gloss black both ends

That's a pretty interesting configuration. I know Chrysler tried mechanical FI systems in 1958 , Chevrolet had it in 1957 , Think Cadillac ( or was it Pontiac ) tried it as well in the late 50s. Corvettes had it again what was it 1963 or 64 ? Wasn't aware anyone tried it again till late 70s - early 80s time frame.
