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

Once you have the 68 GTX grill in hand. post some pics. I would be interested in a few of them

I'll bet most of us here are closer to the end than we are the beginning. sad days indeed. Hardly a day goes by when I look at my mirror I dont think of Harry

You see these pop up on ebay every once in a while

How about any pre 1972 Dodge pickup

Be careful. some of the AMT 1969 GTX kits have a 1968 hood But yes the Johan is light years ahead of any issue of the AMT kit. Problem is you will pay dearly for a Johan 69 GTX kit ( I know I did )

fortunately, I have 2 LHS near me. both are less than 20 minutes away. Although one is more RC car/plane/boat stuff and the other is trains. ( mainly HO scale I think ) Both carry a decent model selection as well as paint and supplies. I try my best to give one or the other all my business

Sweet

Yep. That was me. Sorry guys for the delay getting them out when promised

how about the 340 out of the AMT 1971 Duster I like the mopar 8-3/4 axle idea as well

VERY nice. Always thought this was one of Ivos better looking rides. And wanted to build one ,,,just because. But cheated a few years back and found a screaming deal on a 1320 diecast

excellent build.

I saw the original post date. Thus my question did the tooling exist back then?

so by reading this , the tooling exists ,,,in at least some condition?

Dude, You sure did it justice Love the seats especially.

Hit the local HL near me yesterday. Nothing marked down i could find. I left empty handed.

Anyone know how TS36 compares ? https://www.tamiyausa.com/articles/ln/72/TS-chart.pdf

Looks killer. I built one a few years ago using the Polar Lights kit. As I feel its more accurate to the original car back then. The recent Revell kit more replicates the current new nostalgia car being campaigned today .Same goes the Chi Town Hustler

Guess, Im not a 'car guy ' Funny, Ive been around cars all my life . Guess it was all just a waste

Ive seen the restored car a few years ago and even in my own pics it looks red. But thought it was more of an orange. Ive got hundreds of pics and in every one the car looks red. except the 73 Duster it most definitely looks orange I did a spray out with a couple rattle cans today and none looked right.( far to red ) I'll keep looking for a better color match via rattle can
