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

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

WOW. I like it. Well done

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 -

Biggest issue is going to be removing the molded in rear finish panel. Coronet RT -

1/16 Beach City Corvette: On the bench 8/19/17

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. -
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)
-
Agreed. There are numerous restoration mistakes out there. If you have any questions on what is replica stock. Ask away. Been a Mopar guy my entire adult life. And a former judge for the Mopar Nats. On a 1970 the shaker was argent silver (some early models in FE5 red were avail with red shakers. But that's the only exception. The 1971s the shaker was a dark argent (almost black ) As far as wheels.All Hemi Cudas were 15" wheels. The 5 spoke wheels were 14" only on a mopar. But that's the nice thing about models. We can build them any way desired.

I vote (like my vote really matters ) the silver Rallye (the 5 spokes were not avail on a Hemi Cuda ) But I will say B5 looks good with B5 blue steel wheels and beanie hubcaps.
-
Very....VERY nice. I've got one of these kits for later on. You may have just given me my color combo.
-
Looks good. Probably one of my favorite kits to build (have 6 done so far and counting )

I've got a couple digital slide calipers from Loews. Had them for about what 10 years. Replace the battery every couple years and never an issue -
Nice. I worked on these cars when they were new. They were a blast to drive.

Lindberg 64 Dodge 330 stock and 64 Plymouth Belvedere

I've built 4 or 5 Biggest issue for me. As mentioned the attaching points for the wheels is really fragile. -
MAIL CALL Johan 1959 Cadillac 4 door builtup. Not a cream-puff by any standards. ( front fender ornaments ) and hood emblem are sanded off. paint is on a tad to thick to tell if the side emblems are there or not . Either way,,,,,,, with a little work. It should rebuild without a whole lot of fuss. One more to scratch off the want list .

Fyi. The car has an 8-3/4 rear diff. Your model part is a Dana .
-
For me its simple. If it's out of the country.....i don't bid. My only exception is Canada. Even then it has to be something I absolutly can not find anywhere else.

I use Future

A couple new additions to the pile. Johan 1959 Cadillac builtup And an original / only issue MPC 1966 GTO convertible builtup. Been keeping an eye out for each of these for a while now. But I had a budget and stuck to it ( under $50 ea )
