Hey guys! I'm back and I have updates!

The body has had decals applied and two more coats of clear applied.

The engine is done.

I painted the chassis. I may add some brake lines and such, but I would like some input on how to go about that, as I've never done it before.

And I painted the interior pieces. I also flocked the floor pan.

Guess who's back, back, back, back again... Let's just jump straight into the the pictures...

The body had been further detailed. I went with BMF on this one, turns out it was a little bit of a challenge. The trim is not very defined on the body, so you have to go slow and use very little pressure on your knife. I glued the taillights and glass in, and we'll just leave the story on how the front windshield ended up in a white haze a mystery. I've applied to Revell for a new one though.

I completed the interior and got it all put together. I have to give credit, I love how this interior builds up. Everything locks together, and I did not have to use one piece of tape to hold things up while the glue dried.

I detailed up the Rallye rims in their appropriate shades of silvers and metalizers.

And finally, I seated the HEMI in it's final home.

Updates! Get your updates here!

I wired and plumbed the engine today. I still have to build the fan belt/pulley assembly and mount it to the block, and attach the exhaust manifolds but that will be done all in good time.

As with my previous builds, I painted the carbs a more appropriate shade of aluminum and then added a black wash. Used, but not abused.

Got the Shaker and air cleaner painted today, also I sprayed the exhaust manifolds too. They look silver on camera, but in person it's more of a gunmetal color.

I also painted the body and hood. I am in love with this Ice Blue. In my opinion, it's come the closest than anything else to B5 Blue that I can go buy on a store shelf.

Shiny!

And some food for thought.... First one to guess it gets a cookie. :P
