Mopar - D Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Getting started with a new build this is going to be a 67 Belvedere station wagon that I picked up on eBay. I'm going with a slant 6, base hub caps and the bench seat. It's going to be dark turquoise from MCW. I'm going to cut out the back seat to change out the GTX seat that came in the resin kit. Here are some pictures of what I'm starting with. Edited December 8, 2013 by Mopar - D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thanks for the encouragement everyone I'm going to get some bench time this weekend I'm hoping to be able to get some paint on it.

FASTBACK340 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Dan, I have a `67 Wagon too, but I think it's an old R & R kit. That is going to be awesome! What made you chose the `67 shade of Turquoise? I own a `68 Plymouth that's the lighter `68 version of that color, L1. Love seeing this being laid out, great start so far. And that Lindberg slant 6 is a gem. Nice project, I'm watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel-Dan Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Agreed!!! I would love to do one too. But mine would be LAPD!! So yes, I would also have to replace the seats with one like in the Jo-Han 68 Fury kit!! But, V8 or Slant 6?? And, I have 2 1 of those Stock Belvedere, and 2 Dodges, and NO 6!!!

gtx6970 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) I have a question I'm looking to find out what color Plymouth painted the 225 slant 6 in 67?? Thanks . Not 100% sure , but I think red . What are the bench seats from ? Johan Police car I assume. If so , I need to find a set of them .

Genegenie Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I have a personal liking of the now defunct Plymouth brand. .Great model, and never seen a wagon before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Here's my weekend progress updates I found that the interior tub would not fit in as it should so I cut the resin tub apart and used the GTX interior to fix the problem. I also sprayed the dark trequise and have decided to go with a tan interior as this was the only color that was offered in the Belvedere base model. I have also found that the slant 6 for 67 was red.
