Easy on the s, you need a steady hand on that radiator.

I got my 69 4 speed Hemi Super Bee from Supercar collectibles today. (1/18 scale) Much cheaper than the real thing! Close to the same as mine was except for the wheels. Thanks to Richard for telling me about this model.
Removed, cleaned, detailed and reinstalled the ballast resistor and voltage regulator (then proceeded to buy a repro regulator) Removed the wiper motor, started to clean & detail. Ordered a new horn & start relays.

Careful Jeff, one thing leads to another, then another, then another... then "honey can we refinance the house please" LOL

Thats nice. I may just need to buy that one. The previous 1/18 scale 69 Bees were all 440 six packs with the lift off hoods, with only one exception. Several years ago there was a "Mod Top" 69 Hemi Bee in Spring Green Metallic. That was the only other 1/18 69 Bee with that hood (though there were a few 1/18 scale 69 Coronet RTs with that hood.
My recent 1/18 scale additions are the Sunstar 59 Dodge convertible and the Sunstar 60 Fury hardtop. The 59 Dodge isn't a Coronet, but removing some chrome could probably make it a 59 Coronet.

Cool Joe, I'm glad you're pleased! The only problem is that you took the car out of it's display box my friend!!! :eek:
Some will say that I have problems taking mine out of their boxes...........ok, I can't argue with them on that!

For some unknown reason, nobody seems to take me seriously............
