I can say Its finaly done. After several months of extensive small details, I've haven't done in many years It felt good to go this deep in a build. But I had my times when I regretted starting that process. And my hats are off big time to those that get that detailed. Looking back at it now . I wish I had the eyes to wire the firewall / engine compartment But my magnifier only helps so much In my haste to call it done,,,,,I see I missed the wiper motor install, as well as paint the front bumper brackets black ,,,,, I'll have to correct this asap There is a build thread in the Drag build section if you care to ck it out There is far, far to much stuff to bore you with here I used both a Car Craft April 1967 and SS/Di magazines for research to duplicate the car from early in its life span. No RO style hood scoop and when it still had the trunk lid decal on it, which disappeared sometime shortly after the when the hood scoop was installed . Which is best I can tell happened sometime in late winter - early spring 1967 Enjoy and as always Comments or criticisms are always welcomed. Updated pics

Oh believe me I have plenty to work on even if the Belv 1 body never shows But I would like to build either the Grotheer car in above epic. Or the Jere Stahl sedan SS car

Thanks all Leal did in fact run a 1968 Hemi Dart ( unlikely it was an original LO23 car ) So these decals are for that car As to when , I dont remember I have a Leal Belv, but only the one and would like to build several more. But not at the typical ebay asking prices for the kit Should have bought more when they were avail I guess. Same deal for the Sox and Martin SS 1970 Cuda kit I guess

Is the only difference between these 2 kits the decals and boxart ? I have the Leal version, but not the Belv version to compare the 2 side by side And sellers with the Leal car are asking insane money for them now

Im die hard Mopar Have owned 4 or 5 69-70 Road Runners , Including 1 A12 car and 2 different hemi cars( a 1969 and a 1970 _ , Then 4 total 1969 GTXs , ( 2 hardtops and 2 verts )

If you're wanting to be some what correct for the era Max wedge was long gone by 1965. Hemi actually took over mid year 1964 1964s were steel head , Aluminum cross ram intake with 2 carter AFBs ( most were replaced by Hollys later in the year ) 1965s were Replaced by aluminum head, magnesium cross ram intake with 2 holly's. Now, That said. its not to say some racers were still running the max wedge at that time So,,, then by all means . Its a model car. Build what you want.

I always clear over decals. But do Not clear over BMF

As a general rule. Dodge tends to be a slightly longer wheelbase compared to its Plymouth cousin. This applies all across the Mopar line

I have a couple of these. If the OP wants one, pm me . Its yours

All depends on manufacturer . Put a Monogram 1970 GTX side by side with a Johan version. And the difference is very noticeable

Anyone own one of these care to comment on quality I want one , maybe 2 1/25 3D printed resin 1967 Dodge D500 Car Hauler truck kit | eBay

I was told years ago by someone who used to build AMT boxart kits The 1971 RR tooling was damaged Thus would never see the light of day again As to whether or not thats changed in the past 10-12 years, Ive no idea

Interesting idea. I'll take a look, But I dont have one of the 68 Fury to part out , and they arent exactly cheap Might be easier / cheaper to just wait for the MCW resin body

Heard back from MCW The 66 Belvedere sedan will back out soon. I can wait.

Agreed I can see one of these kits in my future

I have several of the Dodge kits . I'll take a look maybe later today,,,, but I think the rear glass shape is all wrong for the 66 I see MCW no longer shows the 66 Plymouth in a sedan. BUT they do show a 1966 Coronet.? So maybe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sent him a message this morning to ask

Sedan glass is in fact taller More vertical on a 1/1. Not sure it would matter that much to me in a model car

Resin body I assume ?

Wrong Year Thats a 1965 Plus has a completely different C pillar shape to make it work

I have 3 of these so have decided to cut one loose Unbuilt - untouched BUT is missing the funky wingcar parts . otherwise 100% complete My interests are late 50s - early 60s Annuals builders Drag car kits, especially Mopar stuff No interests in motor cycles, No semis , no equipment or Implements stuff And to be honest I cant say there is anything currently avail Im willing to trade with

I know someone used to make this body in resin But cant find it now or remember who made it And Ive gone down all kinds of Google searches to no avail Or, if I can come up with a reasonable facsimile of the rear roof section. I can maybe make my own Suggestions or ideas ? Im all ears

Final update in process. Interior as well as all sub assemblies are done. Interior is painted with exact match color for the year of the car. Bench seat from harts Parts ( not dead nuts correct, But it will have to do ) Flocking for carpet, seat belts added shifter and dash mounted tach and its drive cable are from the spare parts bin One final dry test fit. to confirm how it sits. I had to remove the air cleaners. Hood didnt fit..and i dont want to cut a hole in the hood and add the RO style scoop. Im trying to replicate the car from early in its life. Next is push on to final assy , hopefully by the end of the week.

I'll be following I have one of the high wing cars on my want to do list So keep pics and info coming please

Looks killer

Well The Hemi Is done. After breaking one of the linkage arms off the front carb. I decided its as done as far as Im willing to go . And Ive already gone so much farther with details than I normally do Throttle cab will attach to the firewall and the coil wire will attach to a coil mounted on the inner fender , to replicate the actual car.
