freakshow12 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 thanks Casey. I looked at that one yesterday. I meant a built up one. I should have been more clear lol
dimaxion Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 you can also get one at modelhause. The Modelhaus version is a '67 MY . The f.b/g is slightly different . The taillights differ . The hood is different . The body is missing side markers / reflectors mandated by the Feds . MoPar paid fines for every '68 MY they made for the little round side markers . MoPar did the same for the '69 MY for reflectors instead of lights . The fines were outlandish . The Product Identification ; Priceless . In the day before this phrase was "coined" . If all else fails , May I suggest a Modelhaus '67 Notch back & '68 fb/g , taillights and add the small round side markers . In the '80's there were tutorials to make these . The kit makers made the body trim and detail way too shallow / thin . Only to be buried in the primer coat . What's that ? Still doing this ? You could check photo etch parts . Thanx ..
gtx6970 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I drilled holes on the body and inserted /super glued a small aluminum tube, then once dry fill fill the hole in the tube with paint of your choice to replicate the red and the amber , then polish . Tada , almost instant 1968 side markers
Craig Irwin Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Someone here on the site was selling 68 Mopar side marker lights that looked great, just drill a hole and install, but I sure can't remember who.
whale392 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Since I haven't figured out how to interlink to threads here, search for a thread by MPC Marc about his 69 Barracuda Nortchback in 'Under Glass'.
KDog Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Here's a link to a couple Marc & I built from my body @ Bandit Resins.. http://public.fotki.com/KDogGraphix/my_models/2-1969-cudas/
