The ROARING '65

Can't get enough of these Moebius '65 Plymouths! This one was sort of a "get back into the hobby" deal. Started on it a few months back but I wanted the correct paint color (Ford poppy red). Ordered the bottles from that famous paint guy , Took forever so I had a body shop supply company put some in a spray can for me. It is amazing! Two part paint and clear. Decals are Slixx. It went together so well that I' building a few more SS and AWB cars.IMG_9660.thumb.jpg.bd9e0b8027ad24137ce1764bc6fddfb1.jpgIMG_9658.thumb.jpg.64f15aee0dba650b92915a28b560b0ef.jpgIMG_E9777.jpg.5d1531e8c37b63abc0291dedb275724a.jpgIMG_E9779.thumb.jpg.eeba8209e387062ca1e0060a587e2e12.jpgIMG_9778.thumb.jpg.6f63df0c99d5947289de5c2893d8586e.jpg

The big photos show me a lot that  I can't see ! Gotta hook that upper radiator hose back up!

Better L/S photo with a door handle. You have to be really careful with these as they are quite flimsy and will either break or disappear forever into the carpet! I bought a handful of resin door handles for replacements.

It looks just amazing. I like your use of the black steel back wheels as they give a nice contrast. I have found that the tamyia bright red is a pretty close match for that shade of red.

Nice work. What paint did you use for the interior?

Thanks!

I've been using Tamiya TS 75 Champagne Gold for the vinyl parts and TS 46 Light Sand for the carpet area and headliner. Almost all of the factory A990 and AWB cars came with gold interiors. Only a couple were red. Some cars had black rubber floor mats while others had the tan carpets.

Very nice job Walt. I know what you mean about these Mobius Mopars, I think I’ve built like 6 or 7 of them (hard tops, sedans, AWB’s). They are absolutely addictive!!!! I stopped building them when I ran out of decal options. Can’t wait for the Dodge kits to be released, I have three sets of decals waiting for them. Love early/ mid sixties super stockers!

Nice job on the Butch Leal car! It's a classic. I had the opportunity to chat with Butch at last year's Nitro Revival at Irwindale and he would not let me leave! He had so many stories to tell about all his cars. This ones a classic. Great work!
