Something I ran into on this very conversion.,,,, the Plymouth body is about an 1/8" wider than the Dodge body so the roof needs split down the middle and widened to make it work on the Plymouth lower body. If I try again, I may just remove the Flinstone resin 64 Plymouth roof and transplant it on a stryene kit lower body

I'll edit my original statement. There were in fact .,,facyory built hemi powered 2 door hardtops But they're were not light weights and had the stock 4 head light grille. Yet had the same wide flat hood scoop the hemi sedans came equipped with. Still digging for info on interior choices avail for these . Hemi sedans were all light weights.(aluminum front sheetmetal ) 2 head light grille. With the bostrom style light weight bucket seat interior. No back seat.

Fill me in, what did Arruzza do to it

ALL of these look killer gentleman. I for one ( doubt I'm alone here ) would LOVE to find a clean 1970 AMX builder

Well I gotta say. It looks good. Love the color combination. It definitely has the late 60s /early 70s street car vibe to it with the tires / wheels and lack of fender skirts . Makes me think of it as Junior got moms hand me down fury in high school and he spent all his money 'fixing it up' at nationwise auto parts Well done my friend , LOVE all the little details you put into it

I don't remember anything else about it, and right now have NO idea where its at ( we moved across country last year and 90% of my model stuff is still packed away.) Best I can remember the lettering on the decklid trim across the back was so faint and/or full of pinholes . There was no way was it going to survive even a few coats of primer , paint and clear . I think I had decided my best option was just eliminate it altogether and move on . Then the make my own idea popped in my head . I started a conversion of my own using the Dodge sedan roof on the Plymouth hardtop body. . I got as far as a basic trim and fit then shelved it for some reason . No idea where even its at right now I'm in process of configuring the garage / making a model work bench area . But its at least a couple months away from completion due to I have other projects I have to complete before any model bench time can resume .

Let me know please if his is any good. Please. I have gone as far as making my own . (That's still unfinished ) Biggest issue i have with the JF version is the trim across the back edge of the decklid is unrecognizable.

I bought mine off ebay. Maybe 2 years ago?????

Ps. I assume the 64 sedan body you have is resin. Mind if i ask. Who made it. I have a flintstone resin body.....I'm not impressed.

1964 max wedge cars were avail with any interior color ..even bench seats. Late 1964 and all 1965 Hemi cars were all same/similar to the Flash 65 Plymouth. I think 1964 hemi cars were either fawn gold or red interior. (Bucket seats ) I'll need to verify color options. Will update when i find out for sure 65s were all fawn gold bucket seats. Max wedge cars ended mid model year 1964. Then Hemi production took over.

Any Tail stripe colors were avail on any exterior color. Some might not be 'recommended ' but chrysler would build pretty much any way you wamted it. I know of a 1970 challenger thats sand pebble beige exterior. Red painted roof and red interior.

Light weight was avail in both. Single headlight grille is hemi only. (Unless customer / owner added ) Hemi is sedan only. Max wedge was both hardtop and sedan body styles .

cool picture, Those early X frame cars sure twisted up good on a sticky launch

I know someone with an A4 silver 1969 Charger with red interior and it looks amazing ( red tail stripe) I can also know of an A4 silver 1969 Charger 500 that has blue interior ( black tail stripe ) IMO black interior on a silver car is boring ,,but then again, I'm not a huge advocate for black interior cars anyway That said, I restored a clients car a few years back that was silver , blk vinyl top , tail stripe and interior

Does the Mica Silver have a metallic to it ?

Considering i dont build anything newer than maybe early70s. You could say. Nostalgia is the only reason i build models. ?

Correct No 60 or 61 Chrysler 300. the 1st one in scale was the 62 I'm taking the remains of a 1962 300 and combining with the remains with a 1961 NY and make my own 1961 Chrysler 300, might even chop the top off and make a 1961 300 convertible in 1.25th scale

Thats cool. I have several survivors from a long time ago.. Some are my builds......some built by others. 99% of them will ever come apart to be redone . I remember building this Vette kit and have thought about picking up another ...just for the nostalgia sake of it.

The large oval chrome air cleaner is race hemi only. Max wedge cars had 2 small black round air cleaners hsgs

Ive done this several times with good results. Takes a couple coats to get the black look, one coat and its look purple

Another Johan 1969 Roadrunner, Like I really needed another one.,,,,,,,,BUT the price was right and its molded in white .

Meaning one model line, from beginning of production to the end ? None

Interesting question. I was wondering the makes and models of just about all of them. And on a side note. I can only imagine th time and effort to restore any or all of these. As I'm sure fro the most part they are all zinc diecast. which time is not good to Thanks for all the great pictures

I think I saw this car on a trailer in our hotel parking lot back in the early 90s . We were in Atlanta at the time. And best i remember it was a 409 , ( had the hood open at the backside along the cowl )
