Very nice -

Simply taped up the entire seat / door panel . Then cut the areas I wanted darker with a sharp exacto blade. Sprayed the dark red right over the Italian red. Floor is done same way Silver accents on door panels is brush painted with flat aluminum and a new fine brush. door handles are fusion chrome Its not exactly what I was going for...but I can live with it.

“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 122 GAS RONDA’S 1964 FORD THUNDERBOLT

Nice. I think this kit is one of Revells best ever. I have i think 6 done and in the case. Plus I think I have kits and decals to build another 3 or 4 in the pile. -

I normally use a paint from True Value I think it's called safety orange maybe The 1/ 1 color has much more yellow to it than this one. My ultimate goal looks like so

I'll ck. Im not 100% sure if it will stay this color Its a little darker than it should be for early max wedge.

Its decaled i'll post a few pictures later today Not The Ramchargers car either

good guesses but nope. A hint. The body is painted the color it's going to be. The car was restored, and semi actively campaigned up until a few years ago. Steppenwolf

So ugly, Its plain cool. Blairs Speed Shop 1962 Dodge Dart

Thanks gents. They definitely have a face only a mother would love. Its not my favorite body style. But the more I worked on this one. The more I liked it. And it's definitely one of my favorites in the case . Doing that quarter glass and trim was done with the car completely assembled. ( I dont recommended that method btw , tedious is an understatement ) I should have done it while building the car. But sadly, wasn't paying close enough attention to the photos of the actual car I have. All's well that ends well I guess. -
