  1. WOW.... just plain WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. It was early ( pre coffee ) and on my phone . But yea, me to
  3. As far as older songs . Little Old Lady from Pasedena works to. I'm not really a ' HOT ROD ' guy. More of a muscle car guy myself.
  4. Danny Haggar . I can't drive ....55
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. Ck out pantherpink.com For all kinds of pink Mopars
  9. one can only hope. I've got my fingers crossed they happen someday......sooner than later.
  10. Jack Smith Decals. https://www.facebook.com/Top-End-Decals-134521409998295/ I used his sheet for my Reynolds Ford and Phil Bonner Thunderbolts. VERY nice stuff.
  11. Thanks all. Ive posted pics of this car before. But never been real happy with the picture quality . Ive literately taken hundreds of pics of this build with my phone camera and another different / older Sony camera. And I've never been able to really capture the color of the lower body like I want. So Im not sure if the camera eye likes the color or what.( I'm not going to rule out user error either ) Plus get a full depth of field in focus . I want to be able to read all the lettering along the side of the car in one frame. I'm still not 100% happy , but I think its the closest Ive come to date. These were done solely to give me a baseline with this particular camera. My goal is to learn how to fully take advantage of everything the camera is capable of,,,,,sooner than later. Talking to the camera sales tech we came to the conclusion its a good starter / entry level DSLR . ( If you can call $300 entry level) I was looking at a $600 + Nikon camera and decided it might be best take baby steps first.
  12. Just playing with my new camera. Not a big money camera in any way. Just a good entry level Canon DSLR . Bought it mainly for my daughters high school photography class. Hopefully, She will learn how to properly use it to its full extent, then show us. yippee All taken outside in natural light with no flash. Some have the sun , others are when the sun ducked in behind the clouds. I just left the camera in Auto mode this time around to establish some kind of a base line to compare to later on. For the 1st time using it, I think they came out great. Shows the color better than my phone camera. And a pretty decent depth of view for a 1st timer.
  13. No fair posting pics of the actual car though....... WOW thats nice
  14. Sure was, Called Q5 Turquoise. Pretty rare color on any 1969 Mopar of any body style To the op, nice job.
  15. It took me a couple years to get a clean MPC 1968 Coronet. So I'm not about to modify it to a Bee. But I want to do the Dick Landy car in the background here and Im pretty sure its a Bee.( not 100% though ) So I'm thinking modify a resin body instead. Im just so against resin because there so much junk resin out there I'm reluctant to pull the trigger on one unless I have it in my hands to ck quality first.
  16. Not that Im aware of. Monogram used to make one in 1.24th scale but it left A LOT to be desired . Another AAR factoid. ALL AARs had a molded in satin black grille and lower valance insert. . ALL other 1970 Barracudas / Cudas get a medium argent grille AAR All the others
  17. I had a so so glass for an old annual 1960 Ford. Nothing real serious that like you could feel with your finger. Typical hazy light scuffed looking glass . But I was amazed how well it looked after a simple dip in future. No polishing or sanding in any way. Dipped it and pulled it right back out. l Let it sit over night an viola . It looks killer
  18. WOW. I like it. Well done
  19. Correct, Top of fenders, , header panel and along the top edge of the doors / quarter window openings as well Challenger TA is the hood only
  20. A resin repop of the MPC annual kit pops up on ebay pretty regularly. I have a stryene RT . I avoid resin as much as I can But as much as I want a Superbee at some point I may pull the trigger on one sooner than later' 1968 Bee
  21. Biggest issue is going to be removing the molded in rear finish panel. Coronet RT
  22. Not to drag this build of subject But was there a 67 Gran Prix model made back then
  23. Ok, All the pics I have are the Pat Foster driven car ( aka the one I plan to replicate and is how I do my searches ) Carry on .
  24. If I may ask, Where did you obtain the info this car had an offset driver / engine arrangement ? Ive been collecting info on this car for a while now ( also looking for the decals in 1/25th scale ) To do as a future build . And I don't remember anything ever stating anything about off sets . Ps, this last pic / body down is a new nostalgia car. but even it shows a center engine / driver arrangement. And it shows the lowered rocker panel ( ala, pro mod style / new nostalgia ) That the original car did not have.
  25. That's a NICE build. Color combination is perfect Gonna have to get me one of these kits. (Already have an original 59 annual for later on)
