Things where going kinda good until i unwrapped the grill,then i realized i got screwed on Ebay. It clearly said

1:25 scale and Johan,but it`s obviously an 1:18 grill from some sort of diecast. I had no way to check this out.

The resin grill is gone,i had to separate it from the bumper to fit,also if i was to crome it myself.but the grill cant

be saved. Well,so i got tired and annoyed so i ordered grill,lights and bumpers from Modelhaus. This means

this will be on hold for a good while. Also i noticed i dont have enough BMF,another great day lol

Anyway,here is how the exhaust will look like,also sanded the slicks.

Engine more or less done,needs more touch up on the firewall.

If anyone knows aftermarked production of these i would really appricate it.

super looking build. am a bit mopar guy and have been wanting this kit for a while. did you get just the body or does it come complete? the exhaust you want comes in the polar lights 65 coronet. cut outs and all.

Posted

Thanks Al. I think i have been bitten by this mopar bug myself. The body is Flintstone resin,i bought a part out from Ebay.

Chassis,tub and engine are Lindberg 64 Dodge 330 Color Me Gone. Thanks for the tip,is this of those kits who are more or less

done painted, so you just have to assemble them?

Posted

yes, that is the kit. I am not sure if it comes in the convertible or not, so if you purchase one, get the hardtop. or post up a "wanted" add here.

Yes there was a JoHan 1963 Dodge Polara Convertible kit. I have this one in line to be restored.

If your looking for a grill/bumpers/rear facia bumper...Modelhaus has them..Got some for the 63 Dodge I got off the bay years ago....Fit perfectly and are very nicely cast..Chroming is perfect...

Posted

Thanks for the tip and suggestions. It looks like i will get hold on the correct exhaust.

Carl,it`s parts from the AMT 57 Chrysler 300C.

It say 4 to 6 weeks but this took less then 14 days. Coupe of days and the parts are here. I have read lot`s of nice

things about Modelhaus so i am excited to get these parts. I also order some Cadillac stuff.

Tommy, what parts did you get?

Everything plated,bumpers,grill,headlights,rear panel and rear bezels.

Posted

Great build so far,I did those 426 Max Wedge cars.

What other 2 door post sedan is on the table next to your Polara?

It`s the 65 big block Biscayne,i think you find it in the "under glass" thread somwhere.

The other one is a Lincoln Woodie project.
