I just picked up a steering wheel from an early 70s Dodge B van kit that can can pass for the rim blow wheel pretty well. Need it for a Superbird build I have in process
I think I would use the Moebius 65 Plymouth for chassis / drive train update. it will even have the correct air cleaner and I think it even has the white wall tires in it
Cool, and I can see it on the car lot now. Back in about 1976 ish or so. I bought a 1966 Pontiac Tempest. OHC 6 cyl auto. Gave a whopping $50 for it and drove it home. about 2 years later bought a so so shape 1969 Roadrunner 383 auto. Gave a whole $150 for it and drove it home. Those were the days my friend
Not today. But end of last week mail man dropped of my latest. A really good looking 1963 Ford Galaxie convertible builtup. Paint is really nice / shiny dark brown color. That I think I may just leave it as is. Originally I just bought it to get the stock wheel covers for another one I have . All the original chrome is REALLY nice shape and reasonably shiny. But after looking it over once it arrived. I think I'll just add some bare metal foil to the body. Take the chrome pen to detail the interior and call it done and put it in the case. Interior was painted this fugly light cream / beige color. But its already been stripped and painted in a semi gloss black.
Decal challenge is a huge understatement . I Got so discussed with mine......back in the box it went. Congrats on a good looking build . I gave up till another day.
Im not sure I would judge it based on these pics. I'll wait and pass judgement once the kit is in my hands. But , yea, I would have preferred a 440 six pack auto myself
Excellent color combination. Ive always had a secret admiration for the early 60s Ferrari cars. . I might get the inclination one day to actually build one for my shelf,,,someday.
Thanks again. After seeing the actual car maybe 20 years ago. Ive always wanted to build this one. Its not perfect by any means. But I'm happy to finally have it in my display case. And once I found out Tamiya made the paint colors for it. I went for it just this past winter. Just had issues getting the colors to photograph well IMO. Thanks again
