Ive seen a few of Paul Hetticks builds top $5k ( not a typo either ) The one the OP posted is not one of his

is there one avail. Im not real interested in 1.24th scale unless its my only option ( I already have the Baldwin Motion kit to build if I got that route) if more then one, which is best ,,,and why ?

I'll bet you can see the light at the end of the tunnel about now. And photographed in the right setting would be hard to tell if its real or a model. Keep it it , head and shoulders above ANY other model kit Ive ever seen .

Let me see what i have. I may be able to help

Yes. The lindberg wedge would be correct. Keep in mind its a typical big block mopar. Single 4 barrel carb only. Chrome valve covers and i think chrome round air cleaner? Pretty sure the engine is a turquose color as well (definitly not orange )

Agreed. pretty much the only primer i use,,,under any paint

just ordered 2 of ea

Cool, I call shotgun

Just curious, Whats the purpose or advantage of running the dist off the pulleys instead of the normal Mopar

Nice, Ive always though that car was one of if not the best looking SS car on the planet

As much as I like vintage drag cars . I may just pass on this one,,,or at the most I may get one of these. I already have maybe 3 or 4 of the model king issues and Ive never touched even one of them yet. and how long have they been out .

ditto

Ive used the Lucas decals on one other build with no issues . ( the Iron Butterfly 1964 Dodge sheet ) And I would bet the seller I linked to is either Lucas or someone selling his stuff. Ive heard conflicting stories if he is still taking orders online or not

we think a lot alike

decals by lucas are out of business...long gone....oldr-n-drt https://www.ebay.com/sch/us2014-sm/m.html?item=253472552208&hash=item3b04243510%3Ag%3ADgwAAOSwMkJaakFr&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Same here. I'm lucky enough I have 2 mom-pop places within a 15 / 20 minute drive. And will do my best to support them when the need arises . But even the its usually just paint or the rare occasion some new kit I cant live without. its rare I even go in the local Hobby Lobby anymore.

Meh, maybe . But for the costs / efforts ( aka my skills ) I just keep an eye out for another one

A couple ckd off the want list this week . A decent builder Thundercharger. Been after one of these for a while now ( would like to have a 2nd so I can build both both ways the car has appeared.) And an original issue 1962 Chrysler 300 convertible, this is simply a parts kit I'll use the interior on a hardtop build of said car. The rest will go in the parts pile or use a trade material

Ok, Been thinking about this for weeks . And am curious what the masses do . For me I tend to buy local or at shows. I realized a few years back and the older Ive become,,, that if I have to buy online I usually just do without. The one except to this is are vintage kits / annuals I need ( ok WANT) to add to my want list and said list has gotten quite small the past few years. Plus 99% of the time I build box stock anyway so the majority of the items i do buy are simply decals. Plus add to the fact my stash is well beyond my capable build plans to get them all done before I'm sniffing dirt so my buying has become extremely selective. That said I did purchase a couple vintage builder kits this week .( both eBay buys ) So Im not quite ready to quit buying just yet.

Looks good. Im in for a couple of each.

I just tried. The windshield would work in a pinch. The back glass would take some work but MIGHT be able to pass if you have nothing else

Very VERY nice. Im typically not a customs fan. But man that car rocks
