Model Car Replicas

[69bronzeT5]

Wow. That's a shocker. I've left my models at model shows before and nothing has happened to them. Although, I caught some other guy trying to move my model so he could make more room for his display. I wasn't too impressed. Do you have any pictures of your models? Also, they moved YOUR car without telling you?

[KS71owner]

Yep, they said they needed more space so they moved my '71 into a corner in the building. It pissed me off because they would NEVER ask one of the high-end guys with a Barris-built customs to put up with treatment like that but they clearly don't give a crap about the everyman car enthusiast if they're willing to treat us like that.

I don't have a lot of car model photos but I can post a couple of in-progress ones. Give me a few and I should have something up.

[KS71owner]

Ok, here's a few pics. My interests vary greatly so they're not all cars. 

'57 Chrysler 300


'99 Red Bull Yamaha

On vacation for the rest of this week, so I should have time to get some stuff done. 

[69bronzeT5]

Not much interest

[KS71owner]

Yeah been busy with other work, haven't had much time for models the last few weeks. Hoping to get some time to work this weekend.

I would say that there is a tone of stuff there that you couldn't do on a model. Such as, Tach. you'll never know one way or the other. How you going to know if its a AM/FM radio??? Oh, you wanted a right hand remote mirror? Make sure it's not power! Don't really know how you could tell. Performance axle pack huh? I think a dana looks just like a dana. 3 speed wipers would be a no go too. 426, are you paying, or just want it done? Just an FYI also, a duel snorkel air filter assembly isn't correct for a 69.

Not baggin on you, just curious.

Six Way Seat Adjuster
3-Speed Wipers
Tachometer
AM/FM Radio
Fiberglass Belted F70-14 Redlines

That stuff is kinda hard to do on a model. Whatever comes in the kit goes on the model unless it's something different like different valve covers or whatever. My question for you is, would you actually pay for it (keep in mind $90-$115)....or do you just want to see one?

[C_stripes]

Cody, someday I need you to build me a 73 Duster. 
I have Duster parts to trade.

Whenever you're ready

[C_stripes]

What parts are you looking for?

[69bronzeT5]

What parts are you looking for?

Don't need much actually. Just Duster emblems for the front fenders (as we discussed) A passenger side non-remote mirror.

[C_stripes]

I sent you a PM.  And I may have some Duster emblems. Give me a few days to look.

Well I will address that the Dual Snorkel is correct for '69 440's w/AC.

Tach - That is a standard decal on the model
AM/FM Radio - that I guess you are right about
The mirror is the same on the kit so use 2.
Performance Axle Package is a 489 Case with 3.55 gears
3-speed wipers - jack it from a 71 Cuda Kit or make one from scratch from clay.


I would pay Bronzie I would like to see a bit of work he has already done.

[69bronzeT5]

Abit of work done on the actual model or any model?

[426HemiCharger]

I have done a model of an F6 440 4-Spd and It looks so real!!! So I know what it takes I spent 3 months on it.  One more month and better painting I would have had it where I wanted it.

You still haven't answered the question

[426HemiCharger]

Sorry. Well I guess there will be work.  The TorqueFlite is a hard to find model transmission.  BTW 1969 Charger R/T from Revell Muscle.

I'd like to see the '69, when it was done.

[69bronzeT5]

Not to sound rude but sorry but I only build models for myself for free. Unless you plan on paying for the model and paying to get it built, then I'm not going to do it. If you want me to build one for you for $, then I'll be glad to do it. Let me know.

[426HemiCharger]

Well It doesn't sound rude I totally understand. I'd want to get paid too. I'll be glad to pay you but I wanted to see a sample of work you have done.  That's what I meant if it wasn't clear enough first.
