Watching this one. I also have a soft spot for a 1960 Mercury. I picked up a decent builder a few years ago. If I can ever find stock tail light lenses I'll get to it My goal for the build is this exact car

Ive built a couple of these kits, and always go with testors silver with a light coat of clear ( both rattle can )

Ive always liked that car ( movie sucked though ) As for how much, I got no idea where to start. But I might be interested in working something out once you find a value so keep me in mind

Very cool, I like that one a lot. I started to build one of these ( I have a decent original issue) I had a screw up with the decals and put it away. If they do it in the original box art, I'll buy one simply for that. Then use the body to build this exact car like shown.

Good considering its age.

Most of the re-issues of this car had a body with 68 side markers and everything else is 1969 I agree, sure would be nice to see this kit get back dated a correct 1968. I'll deal with the subpar chassis detail as I see fit

Ive got a few of these missing link intakes , and will say they are better than even the Johan versions

Back when I built my LRW, I bought an unbuilt kit of this one to use. going on 15 plus years ago now I guess ( this was way before any LRW re-issue and it was considerably cheaper than any issue of the LRW I could find ) I sold the box and decals on ebay and they brought nearly what I paid for the complete kit. I dont remember what happened to the phone co. parts

Actually bought a couple over the past few weeks. A near mint Johan 1961 Dodge - one of the re-issue promos Also bought a builtup Johan 1969 AMX , wanted it strictly for the body glass and chrome

Thats what I used. Just 1st coat spray it on a little light.

Ive used testors wetlook clear over decals with no issues. it might depend on the decals used thoughMod These are kit decals under maybe 3 or 4 coats of said clear

very nice

STELLAR build. Hands down one of my favorite year of the early bullet Birds. Excellent color choice

What kind of problem will I run into if I transplant the front doghouse of this 72 Chevelle on to a current issue 1968 El Camino ( my preference if it is feasible ) Reason I ask, is a potential client is asking me to build a replica of his 1/1 car. and he has a resin body ( not my favorite route, especially if its a Flinstone body )

Any thoughts on how to achieve this one by chance

yes

WOW< just quite simply be enough. But WOW

Does the car even exist in 1/24 or 1/25th scale ? I dont think so

Agreed, Ive had more than one roll off the shelf and make a mess .

Very. Very nice

Closest I've found thats easy to find is plasticote spray cans of hemi orange. You can also buy mopar performance hemi orange in rattle cans (my preference btw )

Whats the point digging up 5 year old threads , especially when there is nothing in the beginning of the op to give a clue as to what the thread is about

If I remember right there is a box cut into the firewall for the battery, basically behind one of the front tires The grey box behind the driver in the above photo is the rear axle cooler

If you can find one of these its probably your easiest ( cheapest ) route

A few of the top of my head. Just to name a few I can think of right now Soapy Sales Challenger and the Barry Setzer Vega funny cars The Badman and Monkee Mobile The Monogram
