Archive 1 2 3 4 5 Message Index Has anybody heard from or have any news on two of our female builders, Mustang Gal, AKA Jackie, or Mopar Shannon, I think was her name? Just popped in to my mind. *NM* I would imagine that this car looked awful even when it was in its prime with that continental kit..........*PIC*.......... Mashpee 354 Taking us to school.... *NM* And I'm in kindergarten eating paste . . . *NM* Finished PICs I know it crazy. 7 finished since Jan 1 but all of them had been started long before that except the 2016 Vette. Anyway this one had been setting for over a week awaiting BMF. I hate BMF but a coupe friends, pushed me to just get it done. Nice to have friends push you into finishing something that beautiful! *NM* Yes, it's a love, hate relationship. Today is love. *NM* Beautiful *NM* Thanks *NM* It shines *NM* Thank you. *NM* You may not like BMF, but you're good at it! *NM* Update on Matador........ Oh well....sometimes it's good when they want too much. Good for the wallet, that is. I've passed up 3 or 4 cars where the seller wanted too much, and in about a week or two, I no longer regreted it. *NM* Yeah, $6K is way too much. I guess they'd rather let it rot in the yard than take a fair offer for it. *NM* Remember, that to them 6k IS a fair offer. In fact: Yeah, I wonder how many people out there with unrestored green '68 Mustangs now think they have a three million dollar car? LOL *NM* Or, maybe the owner is not really serious in selling it. Just trying to test the market of potential buyers out there. I've seen this a lot on Craiglist with those $80K+ "pro touring" muscle cars. Ugh! *NM* FWIW, respectfully give them a standing offer for what you think it’s worth and tell them you understand if they don’t think it is enough. You never know, you might get a call in a month’s time... *NM* Lots of wishers these days, Been looking at the trader guides and Fbook marketplace, tons of dreamers. *NM* Anyone here every try putting an AMT 66 Ford SOHC 427 into an AMT 66 Fairlane? Well, I am! (PICS) That'll be nice when completed! *NM* Why not? The way I figure it, model cars allow us to do crazy but cool ideas that we couldn't afford to do or wouldn't dare do on a 1:1 car. *NM* The new Moebius "Golden Commandos" 1965 Plymouth Satellite Hardtop Altered Wheelbase A/FX kits are expected Monday. Order now and we'll ship them as soon as they arrive. Build the bronze and white car or the all-white version! …*PICS* I like to make the best new kits available to order a couple weeks ahead of time, but it seems like even with the best of information, there're always late! So this time I waited until they're all but in the truck on their way here so I KNOW they'll be here Monday. *NM* In your post, I noticed a post which makes me think it may be a sedan. *NM* Phil, I think that might be the roll bars you're seeing in the pictures. *NM* Looks like a sedan to me as well, as I'm pretty sure I see a 'post', and a roll bar in the pics. *NM* The AWB cars (most of them) were built by an ambulance company. They had lightweight side glass, and sedan-style door frames despite being hardtops *NM* There ya go...that explains it. Interesting to know, thanks for the info. *NM* Ambulwagon (sp?) in Detroit, IIRC. *NM* IIRC, Dick Branstner might have been a partner in Amblewagon. The Ramchargers book has some photos of the conversion manual *NM* Didn't know that either, thanks for the info! *NM* As I noted in my post, it's a hardtop. Sedans have a completely different squarish C pillar. *NM* Sorry, I see what you're saying. It's the hardtop roof but with that thin post. I was thinking there was still no frame around the window when the door was open and the window was rolled down, but now I'm not sure. *NM* There are window frames on the doors of the AWB cars. Not sure if the side windows go up and down, if they do they probably use a "strap" setup like the Super Stock lightweight cars *NM* I thought the Satellite only came as a convertible, 4 door sedan or 2 door hardtop. The Belvedere was available as a 2 door sedan. *NM* Re: Thanks Tom as I got my order in and hopefully(?) this kit will get me out of my 9 month building slump. *NM* Once you see it you won't be able to resist it. And yours is the first order in, so it'll be the very first one shipped. *NM* Re: Thanks Tom and I hope that you're right about not being able to resist it. Have a great weekend. *NM* Re: We so need a '64 or '65 Dodge/Plymouth station wagon in plastic!.....Been asking for one for several years now. Personal preference is a 63/64 Plymouth. *NM* I'd love to build one similar to this! I really enjoyed seeing vintage drag PICS! *NM* Agree. I think they would need to do a new tool for the wagons, but they could always use most of the back 1/2 of it and tool up different front ends for the Mopar Wagons from '63-'65. They are very popular as Drag Cars and street toys. *NM* It would be a logical extension of the B-Body product line for Moby "roof rack, kids fighting in the back seat". LOL. *NM* Re: They were also used as tow/push vehicles back-in-the-day. *NM* Was a two-door wagon offered in 1:1? *NM* Last year for the two door wagon was 1961. *NM* Sooo, is this two-door a custom ? *NM* *PIC* LOL Mike. There is nothing on that car that's stock. *NM* Yes, it was actually built from four different cars spanning three years. Here's a link to their blog. *NM* *LINK* Thanks Lee. Ran across it at the Nelson, BC car show back in sept but hadn't done any research yet. *PIC* Love it, kool stuff. *NM* 1 2 3 4 5
