Next up 1964 Dodge 330 started out as the "color me gone" super stock, but the decals were crap, and typical Lindberg model it was warped, had to use a heat gun to get the chassis reasonably straight It came with a 426 wedge, that lacked detail, but did have a nice set of headers Lindbergh...

The 61 sat way too low in the rear, a little creative modeling and it looks much better (I'm old school, bigger tires in the back, and a jacked up stance)

The aluminum slots may have come off " silhouette" a vintage kit, but the 79 pinto cruzin wagon has aluminum slots as well I bought "color me gone" 64 dodge 330 it has a 426 wedge in it The 70 coronet super bee has a 440 six pack and a 426 hemi The pro street 70 coronet has a 426 hemi, and the...

And next, an A body..... AMT 71 duster The rally rims were nothing to write home about, so put a set of torc thrusters off a 61 chevy I had laying around Could build with a 340 single 4 bbl or a six pack, even has A/C only thing I didn't care for is, you had to open the holes for the dual...

If its like my 74 duster its from the inside, taking out the glove box and instrument cluster helps On mine a pivot seized up and everything popped off, that was fun trying to figure out what went where and which way

Learned something new,I had never heard of a DOHC hemi, I bought a model car, a 70 pro street coronet, and the engine is a DOHC hemi, I figured it was just a pretend motor somebody made up, but I guess it actually existed In real life it was just a prototype, and never ran under its own power...

The latest in the collectionwas going for the sleeper look, not quite finished, but close enough to go on the shelf This one I went all out on because the kit had a lot of detail Exhaust still needs connected, but I do have brake and fuel lines Look at the decals for gauges, came with the...

I haven't built a model car in 30 years, used to build the heck outta them as a kid/teenager Anyhow, at the beginning of the covid crisis I ordered several models to pass the time during quarantine, but turned out we were only closed for a week, so I'm slowly going through the stack of boxes...

Yes I love those, ordered these two from the auto world store

Hey, they got it fixed Years ago there was a show on called "Cuban Chrome" you wouldn't believe the things they do to keep those old American cars running, hammering out entire new body panels with wood and mallets, and those old cars are passed down from father to son like heirlooms

wow, talk about someone getting upset about another's opinion, did you write that article? That's the problem these days, there's a difference between stating an opinion and being rude, and that problem extends all the way to the highest levels You can respectfully tell me you disagree with my...

motor trend started it, they could have titled the article" advantages of new cars over old cars" I wouldn't have had a problem with that, and would have probably agreed with some of it, but instead they went straight for the jugular with " old cars suck" I read that and was like" wait a minute...
