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.

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 )

What did you see on the road today?
gtx6970 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Pierce is a maybe. There were literately dozens of car manufacturers back about this time frame. Would like to see more of it. I have a decent late teens / early 20s model stash put away . And the desire to dig into that section of the pile is growing steadily -

I would definitely be in for a 1957 Mercury turnpike cruiser . Or even better, how about a 1955 or 1956 Chrysler Imperial ? -
Same here,, my brother in law plays guitar. so getting his used guitar string for free makes it even better. I may have to try this method to get the 2 piece antenna look I did one years ago and my only complaint is ,,, its just a straight antenna . Which for Mopars was not used till 1972 and later

'58 Fairlane 500 Semi-Custom! Finished at Last!
gtx6970 replied to John Goschke's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Great work. I've got a vert near the top of my to do list. Although mine will be replica stock. I like the tips / corrections to the body. -
I have one kit thats off limits to glue or paint. A sealed Barry Setzer Vega funnycar. ( Ive got 3 or 4 builders so Im good with it ). Only because it's one of the few kits I remember having back when new. Otherwise every kit I have is a planned build. My 59 Edsel was a near mint unbuilt kit when i started. I have a mint untouched 62 Buick conv and a mint untouched 1960 Edsel conv. I bought them both to build

Mind if I ask where the decals are from

How much have you spent on a build?
gtx6970 replied to Jantrix's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
High dollar builds with loads of aftermarket isn't something I'm interested in. I don't do contests, as I build for my case and my case alone. Thats said, I think the most I've got tied up in any single one build is maybe $100 , $125 at the very most. Now,that said . I may have that or more tied up in a kit. But keep in mind, I tend to buy vintage kits and old annuals. And I have a few I've paid over $100 for. Those are mostly curbsides and other than maybe $10 in paint. Thats pretty much tops them out investment wise. BUT,,,,I dont really need to keep track of my spending on MY version of a HOBBY. My bills are paid my wife and I pretty much buy what we want , and my 2 girls don't go without what they may need. -
1967 Pontiac Bonneville. 2/20, COMPLETE!!
gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
agreed. I like the 67 the best. Mainly due to the uniqueness of it. -
Im in. This is one of my favorite kits. Ive done a few of them ,,,, And I have maybe another 3 or 4 to build. fyi, Both Testors and Tamiya have there own version of champagne gold. I've use them both for the interior . Also fit and re-fit the grille to the body around the headlight to fender attaching area to get the best fit. if not the thing hangs and leaves a gap on the top near the hood

yes. Based on the recently released all new fast and fuious kit

gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Gee thanks, Now Im looking for a clean 1967 Bonneville kit ( builder ) Did a google search just now, and I think I'll stick with just a 67. Dont care much for the 68 or newer front end Already have a nice 65 Gran Prix done. -
Yep, No roll bar in either of Lawman 64 Plymouth

On vacation this past week in . But still kept an eye on some plastic for the pile. Picked up an unbuilt Johan 64 Dodge . I already have a few of them but for the price I just couldn't pass it up. Especially the fact its molded in a light cream color ,,,,an almost white. Came from one of Facebook groups I'm part of And a decent builder MPC 1970 Mercury Cyclone off Ebay. Ive been trying to get either an original issue 70 or 71 Cyclone for a while now .
