Anyone know who made or still makes the side scoops and tail light panel for the AMT / MPC 1970 Coronet 

 

I saw them on ebay a few years ago, Now cant find them

It would appear that Hart's Parts offers this conversion AMT/MPC 70 Dodge Coronet/ Super Bee R/T Conversion Flat Hood w/ Scoops – Harts Parts Resin

Ive bought from them before. a sixpack style hood for the AMT duster and the 71 challenger conversion. All was garbage. 

Just looking at the picture of the tail pane tells me is trash

 

Thanks, But I will do without first

Can you be more elaborate on what was wrong with the parts you bought?

Both the duster hood And the 71 Challenger grill and tail panel were so thin and flimsy there was no fixing it .

I eventually dropped them all in the trash

Harts Parts are nicely casted parts My '70 Coronet taillight panel is very crisp and as good as any model kit made .

Ok, I guess for $12 I'll take a chance as I cant find them anywhere else.  I want to build a replica of this car . The one and only 1970 Coronet RT vert 426 Hemi auto 

A friend of mine owns the very car

I've never had any issues with Hart's Parts, and I've purchased quite a few items from him over the years ; recently, the 1972-1976 Demon / Dart Sport / Duster hood scoop. 

They're perfect.

I've been toying with the same conversion, albeit via bashing the new '68 Coronet with the now-old MPC-come-AMT '70 Super Bee. 

Your friend owns that WS27R0G ?? One-of-three total , IIRC - the other is an FK5 4-speed ; and one is M.I.A.  Wasn't that FJ5 auto originally shod with the 14" Road Wheels (colloquially, "Magnum 500") ?

Same here. I've bought at least 1/2 a dozen Mopar 727 transmissions, Mopar pistol Grip Shifters, a couple of his '69 Chevy Nova COPO conversion kits and assorted other odds and ends and am happy with each one. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Harts Parts again.

Harts Parts...Judge fer yerself...'68 Ford Torino front and rear bumpers, full of holes,  completely useless. Blow the pic up and take a good look.

Got em a few months ago, sent several messages...no response.  

Lesson learned.

Yes, this is the Export car.  Sold new in Sweden I believe, maybe Switzerland. Hemi console auto

The other one known is dark tan poly I believe, NOT FK5 burnt orange  Hemi 4spd

The dark tan car came out of a Junk yard in Canda. But this picture IS NOT the hemi car. This picture has traveled the net and mentioned its the hemi car. That info is false

How the car was originally equipped. The OE stock tires/wheels go on it every so often, he just prefers it with the 15x7 and F60-15 tires/wheels

This is the other one known, Hemi 4spd, In burnt tan metallic Its FT6 I think is the correct term for the color,

 

The 3rd one , Built for the USA market, has never been found and believed to have been destroyed many many years ago

Ok I have 2 70 coronets one is for the cannonball Run  and it’s a super bee.  No hood or side scoops. The second one pro street will be a full bench coronet interior by harts parts and it’s excellent..

I bought a couple pairs years ago on ebay by a seller named PSF hobbies i believe,the plan is to build one as a hemi coupe and build one as the Hemi convertible in Burnt orange you pictured using a Missing Link convertible i have.IMG_6786.thumb.JPG.cd0fd2ed935071db404316f956bfdcfd.JPG

Bought 2 70 Superbee pitchfork hood from him as well as an MPC roadrunner hood. All 3 were warped pretty bad, to the point that one of the Superbee hoods and the roadrunner hood both broke when trying to fix them. I do have his 70 coronet rt conversion set and it is definitely worth the money as well as I’m sure his other items. Maybe I just got a bad batch or something ?‍♂️
