Nice, very nice. I would drive the snot outta this one

Same car has been on my to do list. So u have my attention

Well, after nearly a year since buying ANYTHING model car related. I pulled the trigger on one of these today as well as the Beswick version. No interest in a stock version.

Injector stacks, hood side handles, cab side lamps , rad shell head lamps etc on this were done with a yellow sharpie over kit chrome

wasn't 100% sure, ( dont have one on hand ) the only 72 and later challenger kit I have is a builder Landy car . 74 annual is the only one to have the 360 four barrel hood name pletes

Hood is the main difference. 360 is 1974 only. Pretty sure interior seat pattern is different . Im pretty sure 1974 is the 1st year the Challenger script on the rear quarter versus on the front fender for other years

Interesting. First Ive ever seen of the one. And its not even an RT . Trim is Coronet 440

Ive been watching for a clean 65 Fury conv for a while now. Getting one for under 150 is tough. So I've started watching for a distressed promo as well / instead.

I thought the vega was always small block to get the weigbt breaks?????

Ive seen this very trick done by the NASCAR guys as brake ducts. They looked VERY convincing. Maybe put some stryene rod inside the spring to help retain shape then heat strink.

Been thinking about this very subject a lot lately. I had asked the wife and 2 daughters a few years back what they would do with all my junk. in the event some major happened to me. All 3 quickly replied keep any/all builts. The remains would go away....just exactly how to do that they were unsure . So I need to really think about this. As I REALLY don't want this burden on my family when the time comes So I am giving some very serious thoughts to sell out any and all of what I call modern kits ( produced in the past 25-30 years ) Even it that means fire sale prices and then concentrate on my old annuals and drag car builds. Even if I did maybe 2 or 3 a year I figure Ive got enough to last me maybe 20 years ,,,maybe more. I'm staring right down the barrel of retirement in about 4 years . PLUS we are planning too buy a 1/1 car this fall so model bench time will become limited more and more time goes forward. And the older I get I honestly think I'll become less and less interested in building. In all honesty I already look for clean builds now of something I don't have completed. With thoughts to then sell the builders / unbuilts I have here

Ive used fine sand paper with the adhesive back . use a hole punch to make some small 'pads' so to speak. stick them on a pencil eraser and have at it.

Letter denotes height more so than width.

Very nice. I used to work at a shop that was building a replica of one . last I saw the drive train and suspension was done.,Using all correct period Ferrari pieces most of the body was completed ( all hand fabricated aluminum ) Cars owner ran out of money so the car sat in storage for a bit . then the shops owner passed away and closed up just a couple years ago. So i often wonder what ever happened to the project Car was being done at a shop called C.Cook Enterprises in Erlanger KY should anyone know where it ended up

The Baja Bandito. is something from my past so thats a maybe. The AAR is most diffidently , one for sure , Maybe more if the flared fenders are fixed The 57 Gasser Ford is kinda neat. just not my style the rest,,,meh

I sure wish I could. otherwise probably not much

I built a couple of the Peterbuilt 359s and don't remember any issues going together. such as = https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1970s-AMT-Peterbilt-359-California-Hauler-plastic-model-kit-unopened/254187362351?epid=1601429384&hash=item3b2ebf582f:g:IBUAAOSwJ8hcpKT1:sc:USPSPriority!85641!US!-1 I would actually like to find one of these, but I'm not interested in paying this kind of money for one.

Well, I think the only thing ive ever ordered fro the hobby was BMF and I had it in maybe 3 or 4 days. Bought kits via ebay ( both old and new ones ) and I think the longest Ive ever waited was a few weeks

We think A LOT alike. Not a bad one in the lot A close second for me would be 1969

No stryene .resin only. I remember seeing both versions. Stock and Hurst cars. But dont remember who

?

maybe a manifold for newer ford engines , pretty please

Sorry. I dont remeber what is in the kit. But there was a 426 street wedge available in the car (it was blue i believe) but it was single 4 barrel inductuon only. Only cross ram power plant avail in 1965 was race hemi. They were a light orange

When ever I look at some of these wild one off show cars. I wonder. What ever happened to a lot of them. I know several have survived from back then ,,,,but this as an example I've seen or heard of before makes me think its gone edit, just used google and found out this particular car was done in the 1975-76 time frame. and went thru a couple changes . but still exists . residing in the Daryl Starbird museum in Kansas

Just an fyi, you are correct. the cross ram intake was never avail in a 1965 Fury. although the 426 wedge was it was single 4 barrel only
