We think A LOT alike . Being a product of the late fifties myself . I tend to gravitate to the cars of that time frame . And I would gladly pay $50 or so for a NICE kit . ( God knows Ive paid for more than that for a good portion of my stash as it is ) pm coming btw

You already know I like them. Nice

In all honesty, I don't remember for certainty. I know I have the Fugitive, the Butch Leal car. We are planning a cross country move early this summer. so about all my model stuff is packed up or about to be in prep for said move. Jacks decals are sweet. You will not be dis-appointed

Thanks. I have 6 built so far. Maybe enough kits and decals to do maybe 3 or 4 more. It is hands down my favorite kit of modern times

not entirely true. builders pop up for sale fairly regularly. And USUALLY sell for similar money to the Modelhaus resin kit. I have a really clean builtup and dont have anywhere near invested in it the Modelhaus kit was ( just bought it last summer off Ebay .) Actually I have 1 - 1968 Coronet hardtop. 3 - 1968 RT convertibles 1- each of the 1969 Coronet in hardtop and convertible versions All but one of the 68 convertibles were bought in the last year or so and none were over $100 ea

Agreed, Ive been thinking I need to do this one as well.

Thanks fellas I have builders of both the 1959 and 1960 Johan annuals. Plus I have all the AMT/SMP 1958 annuals so it seems only fitting to add one more( like I really NEED one more ) I'm not against paying up just a tad to get the Johan version . But for the prices I seem them today on ebay,,,I'll pass completely . Although I would prefer a convertible,,,,,, I would take the more accurate Johan to keep it 1.25th ,,,,even if its 4 door. Resin is not my 1st choice ,,,not matter the scale or body style. Anyone got one they are thinking to cut loose any time soon? ps, wasn't there a Revell kit that had a multi piece body ? Comments good bad or what .

Ive found Imii, Heller and Amex , may be all the same kit just reboxed ? Plus the old Johan promo kit ( which would be my 1st choice if the price were comparable)

Not today, but a few days ago saw a really nice looking 1960 Chrysler New Yorker . .

Guys, Im thinking I need a 1958 Cadillac kit in the pile . Question is , WHICH one is the better option Id prefer 1.25th. but if 1.24th is my only option. I may go that route

A HUGE price difference might be a factor

Either one. doesnt matter. I would be ticked pink to own either 1969 Gtx convertible. hemi auto ( I actually was trying to buy this very car when it sold before I could get the funds together) 1961 Chrysler 300G convertible,

Missing link makes or at least made something like those.

I cant find my article on this car. But I believe the interior should look something like so https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0117-267934/1968-plymouth-hemi-road-runner-coupe/

Love it. Sure wish I could find a clean builder for my own. Thats one of a few I have yet to come up with for myself

Essentially, Yes. Except for the intake , and exhaust manifolds .( and sometimes valve covers ) they are all basically the same outside appearance

I guess Im sort of a scale snob. I cant or ' will not buy or build a 1.24th scale kit. No matter the subject. The difference may be minor , but sitting side by side the difference is VERY apparent

Give me a day or so. I may have a wing to spare . Ive had several of the Johan birds in various stages of completion . . I still have maybe a half dozen unbuilts ( none for sale before anyone asks )

i bought 100 of these in prep of a cross country move https://www.ebay.com/itm/50-8x4x2-White-Corrugated-Shipping-Mailer-Packing-Box-Boxes/290784344841?hash=item43b418fb09:g:jxYAAOSwjL5ZME~Z edit, just double ck'd. The ones I bought are 11 x 4 x 3 . best i remember They were under $100 for 100 boxes , delivered ( bought them last year )

some dang fine iron in that shop

Its still ugly. You need to send it to me so I can save you the embarrassment of ownership lol

Another set of the Modelhaus Howard mags for a future build. This makes 2 sets I have. Also picked up a second Dodge Thundercharger as I want to build both the car in both paint schemes it was seen in.

Looks pretty good though

Ive done this with EXCELLENT results This one had some light scratches in it. Dipped it in Future and nothing else. I was impressed

Love the color. I have a rebuilder 67 convertible I want to get to here soon,,,might get the thing on the bench for a this winter rebuild
