I've decided to offer up my services. I build model cars in my spare time. I've built around 20 and I've been building for around 10 years. I've won a few awards at shows that I've attended in the last year. Just recently, I've decided to start building model car replicas for people.


I do mainly Mopar models but I am willing to do other muscle car models too. I'm not too firmilar with the newer cars. All models are plastic and either 1/24 or 1/25. I include the following things when I build models:

-Carpeting
-Athentic looking chrome trim (not silver paint)
-Detailed interiors
-Detailed chassis'
-Detailed engine compartments (battery detailing, firewall detailing, ignition wires)
-Custom licence plates to match your car

That's just to name a few things. I do mainly stock looking models because I'm not too skilled with custom cars.

Prices on models vary. I've consulted a few people regarding a price I should charge and most people said I should charge $15 an hour. I think that is too much so I do it for $10 an hour. I get a lot done in an hour. Supply cost, kit cost and display case cost are extra. I insist people do the display case charge because I've seen too many built models get wrecked in the mail. Display cases really help get it there safe. They cost around $9 but are completley worth it. Model kits cost around $20. You can either supply a model kit or you could send $20 CAD so I can purchase the kit. It's entirely up to you. I'm in BC, Canada so please keep that in mind when it comes to funds. I only do money order because I don't have a pay pal set up.


I'm pretty busy right now. I currently have 5 model builds going for people so if you'd like me to build you a model replica of your car, please let me know either on this thread or via PM. It shouldn't be too long, I'll start building new orders once I get a few of the current builds around 50% done. All funds from building the models go to restoring my Charger and Duster :) I'm including some pictures of some of my personal builds.



Thanks,
Cody

Is there a 70 Road Runner kit available? I have a 70 GTX kit. How many hours do they usually take? I would need it to look like this!

If by some miracle you could find a 1974 Plymouth Satellite Custom 4-door model, I would happily pay you to build it. I however, do not think that they exist.
 
I've been searching for a while now and I couldn't find anything. I'll keep looking.

Oh and a note to everyone, hourly rate is negotiable!
 
let me know if you find a 68 GTX model, i've looked all over God's green earth and have yet to find one!!!
 
'69 would be the closest kit available but I can get '68 stripes made and there is probally a conversion kit I can look around for. Let me know if you're interested.
 
I can build any model, however...finding a kit is a different story. I'm not sure if they made a L600 kit. I'll look into it.
 
So, I found out IMC makes a L600 kit. '67 Charger kit is the same as the '66 with a few minor differences (if you're fine with that?).
 
very kool,, i have had an intrest in building a model of my 66 pro street barracuda,,,and i have collected all the kits i need to get all the correct parts,,,except i havent gotten a dizzy,,and wires or any wiring or braided feul lines and such,,i recently got gun ho again about doing it my self this winter,,, i havent built a model in over 20 years,,im wondering if you would take this on,should i not be able to get to it?? heres a pic of the real car,,
