Scottnkat Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I recently finished this up. Watching a friend's 24 hour build got my butt into gear and I figured that if he can do everything he can do in 24 hours, I had no excuse to not get my car done that day. This kit wasn't too bad. Missing only a couple of pieces, but I had spares in my stash so I didn't have to make a single part - that was nice for a change. Everything I needed came from the extra '64 Plymouth I had. On to the pics: It's funny how you miss some things until you take a picture. It's also funny how you miss some things when you're rushing to be finished. While I did remember to paint the headliner, I forgot the insides of the fenders - I still have overspray there! Doh!! Anyway, here's a pic of the underside: A shot of the engine compartment - thanks to my friend Tom for the inspiration to put mesh over the velocity stacks and thanks to my wife Kathi for (sort of) allowing the use of a reusable coffee filter which is no longer reusable: A friend of mine had an old '64 330. I always thought the front end was butt-ugly. Her car was puke green in color, so I used to call it her "swamp doggy". Well, Here's a closeup shot of the swamp doggy front end - I'll leave it to you to decide how ugly it is for yourself: Here is the interior. I tried out acetate gauges for the first time on this under dash pod - they are different Finally, here's one last parting shot at the car before it literally goes under glass: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 "It's funny how you miss some things until you take a picture." Isn't that the truth, especially when you post it on here, it happens to me every time. Every time I see the "Color Me Gone" car I get excited. I love your example, nice work, especially for a 24 hour build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I have no idea how I managed to miss this build, but it sure looks great! There can never be enough Stockers/Super Stockers. I really like the paint on it, and the extra details you have added are really nice. Now, let's go Racing, I have built the Ramchargers version of this kit.
