I wish they would make a
Sox & Martin '71 Cuda Pro Stock (NHRA) with the Hwy 61 tooling. The '71 AHRA Super Stock Cuda was made, and an Ertl tooling '71 Pro Stock was done (MIC years ago). Who can we talk to so the '71 NHRA Cuda Pro Stock in the very detailed Hwy 61 tooling could get done?

Just gotta love that l-o-n-g nose 'Cuda. An outstanding MJ effort (IMO).

I would like to see a photo shoot of just that car, the teaser looks good, more please!

Outstanding set. I'm a GM-guy; but, I'd love to see a '65 Satellite fastback hardtop in 1:24 or 1:18

PICS - Here you go! I must admit, this one really kicked my butt! It was a lot more...
... difficult to do that I anticipated. The tri-color paint along with the complexity of the stripes was a really challenge. It ain't perfect but it's done and I'm glad it's over!

The struggles just make it that much more special. The results look worth the effort, thanks for sharing Marlowe.

You're loosing me Billy. That first car is the '65 Plymouth hardtop in 1/18.
16/05/2019 3:12 pm
Right. And any slight imperfections make it that much more realistic. Ever see real gassers?

...They are far, FAR from "spotless, show car" poster-perfect.

Isn't it technically a Belvedere? And the hardtop has no post / window-door frame.

Actually, it was a hardtop. However, a bit modified. Allow me to explain.
To the credit of Supercar Collectibles, they wanted to replicate the AWB Mopars as accurately as they could. The actual 1:1 car were hardtops and had acid dipped bodies. The chemical milling caused the bodies to be paper thin and to give the vehicle more structural strength the builder Amblewagon attached narrow window frames to the doors. So, the model car being a hardtop and accurate to the 1:1 AWB funny cars, had the door frames as well.
