What a great place this forum is, it's good to talk with like minded people! I have a Jo-han 1963 Dodge conv. kit that's yet to be built, also have the 63 Dodge and Plymouth wagons by R&R, but I picked up a 1962 Dodge Dart 4dr. kit by Revell-it's an original kit with metal flake plastic! WOW what a find! in 1:1 my Dad left me a 63 Valiant conv. with 72K. orig. miles, Thank Dad! and Thank you Fury 3 for sharing your art with us!

 Hi Chris

 

I was a little confused by your topic heading.

Were you looking for info on converting one of these Dodge kits into a '63 Plymouth Fury hardtop ?

Hey Cycolac Fan,

 First I would like to thank you for welcoming me to this modeling forum, as you can see, I am new to computers and all the other high-tech stuff that goes with it! I love model cars-I do'nt love computers so much,

 Sorry to confuse you with my chat with Fury3 Re: 63 Fury 2dr.HT - I had to go back and read my posted response again, I think what confused you was that I used the term conv. instead of the whole word- convertible! sorry.... I would never try to convert a Dodge to a Plymouth or vice-versa, The 63 Plymouth and Dodge kits by Jo-han are still around but it will cost you!  I paid more for the plastic kits of early Mopars by Johan,Revell,AMT and SMP than I did for the 1965 Plymouth Valiant I drove to highschool! and I've had more enjoyment from the plastic ones, Sorry if I strayed a little off course of the 63 Plymouth by Fury3, but it's not hard to do if you if you look at fury3's photo-bucket! theres good stuff in that bucket!

thanks for being here!

PRAY FOR PEACE,

your pal,

Coo-Coo Chris

im sorry to hear your disabled! i had no idea you are.

 

That is one sharp 63!  By chance do you have engine detail to share?

Sorry, I do not. These photos were taken (as mentioned) at the last minute, fighting a failing camera battery by a friend I see infrequently. As mentioned earlier, I hope to have this situation rectified with my computer so that I can use my camera at my own will, and my computer will then allow the downloads from it....a faulty port) The engine that is hiding under the hood is the one provided by Jo-Han in 1963....a rather uninspired looking 383 4-Bbl "Commando V8", painted in the correct Chrysler Turquoise. (I did fabricate a proper air cleaner housing, though!)  I like to build these old Jo-Han kits out of the box, (while still adding wiring, BMF, and MCW paint, and flocking) as I feel they represent a part of history we will never see again..to include some of the ancient tooling's. Thanks for asking! Fury3 

Great looking car,very clean and the color is excellant.I just got one of these at the swap meet last weekend ,and wondering what color to paint it. Well I know now.Thanks for posting a picture of this great oldie. Hopefully I can do as good of job as you have done.

Happy modeling.

Rick

LOOKS REAL, NICE WORK

 Good to see some off your build finally. Anyway nice build, paint looks very shiny. You've done this kit justice.

I really like this one Dave nice color choice you did use mcw paint did you???? once again it really looks nice. i hope you can keep posting more of your bulids too.

No nit picking here....it's beautiful....Great work, and thanks for the look. I've always wanted to see some of your builds.  Now hows the green '67 Shelby coming?

'Bout time you got with the times technically fury3  The old build looks great!
