I like it. But can only image the difficulty to make everything else for this Did this thing even run ?

Thats a pretty neat looking little car. I would drive it

The problem is, most dont just warp. They shrink. Look at the wheelbase . A lot Ive seen the wheels are no longer in the center of the wheel opening

Ive got these 2. Yours for the asking , I'll never use them . No idea what they are out of though

Nice. Just enough custom touches you have to really look for them. Well done

What does 'archive item ' mean ?

EDIT, Never mind. I made an offer on one and it was accepted. Considerably less than asking i might add. There are ( were ) 3 of these kits on Ebay right now. All have issues to some degree. I took a chance, made an offer on the one I felt was my best chance , the condition I can work with fairly easily in my budget range . http://www.ebay.com/itm/MPC-1-25-1967-Pontiac-Bonneville-Convertible-Dean-Jeffries-Custom-1067-150-Kit/252969695159?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2748.l2649 should be here the end of the week . Right before we leave for vacation

Everyone stay away from this one. I WANT that

Ok, Bought these in a pile with several others last year. And Today is clean off my desk day. Now have the task to identify these. any ideas ? I know they're Mercury..... just need to know what year. That way I can either put them in the box with there respective car. OR in the parts bin

For me I rarely have a choice. Most of the kits I build anymore were curbside only back then ( late 50s - early60s annuals ) Otherwise. It comes down to how much time I want to put into a build that's never going to be judged, or rarely even seen my anyone but me family and a few close friends.

So speaks the king of interiors , IMO

Not relevant to the topic. But I see your in Glendale AZ. I will be in Glendale in about 10 days . Wife has a seminar there for 2 days for work on the 24-25th. We are staying across the street from University of Phoenix Stadium . From Monday afternoon the 23rd Then we fly back out EARLY Friday morning the 27th. Any recommendations for eats or night life near there? Not likely we'll venture to far ,,,,, Or spend a small fortune either. But we're open to ideas of most any kind. ( We'll actually get into town early Saturday morning on the 21st . But we're going to Tuscon the 21st thru late afternoon on the 23rd visiting family. . )

Did a test fit. This will do EXACTLY what I need it to do

THIS is the 1965 Plymouth Ive been waiting for. FINALLY,,,,, An accurate 1965 Plymouth A990 car. I'll stop in my local LHS and order a case of them the 1st of the week . REALLY looking forward to see what decals the aftermarket does for this kit. ( I ve already got the decals to do the Chuck Ostrich car )

I like it. Just picked up a couple of these for myself. Plan is get on them asap

Does the Hemi Dart kit still have the backseat in it like the stock version does ? I haven't looked in one of these kits in a while and my memory isn't what it used to be

I picked up a couple yesterday. With my current plans for these, I'll need at least 2 more. So far my initial impression it looks pretty good. Also,,,,,Is my mind playing tricks or did they tone the door scallops down a touch from the 68-69 body? ( I may need to pull an earlier body to compare them for myself )

While out yesterday running errands . I picked up a few cans of paint. And while there I just had to grab a couple of the New 1970 Charger kits.

Back when, the spice girls used a 1969 Charger Daytona in one of there videos

About a month ago. We bought the wife our 1st new car in over 10 years. A dealer demo 2016 Chrysler 200S . Paid right at half what the original new car sticker price was. Its fun to drive, rides REALLY nice and extremely quite . And even with the 2.4 and 9 speed auto it has plenty of pickup for us both ( it has the paddle shifters but I haven't used them yet ) I even get to drive it on a regular basis .

Someone I know formally connected with the former MPC told me the tooling for the 1971 Roadrunner was damaged beyond repair

I have a spare we might be able to work out something. I 'might ' even have a spare interior tub Its actually the body from the Stardust funnycar where the hood is molded shut - AKA promo style

We think alike as far as inspiration. I know the owner of the white 1/1 quite well. and had been looking to replicate his car for some time. So when I found this I knew exactly what it would look like when I dug into it

One and only issue Johan 1970 GTX builtup. Been after one of these for some time. I now have builders of all 5 original issues of the cartoon box Johan Plymouth kits from 1969 + 1970

Ps, mind if I ask why your going with such a high back seat. The actual car had a low back seat like the kit has
