northendmetalallstar Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I've put the ZZ Top Eliminator on the back burner to start this Charger model I want to enter in a local contest (my first). The car will be painted the new Alclad Kandy Orange enamel with a black vinyl roof and black interior. Doors and trunk cut out waiting to be hinged Here's some of the stuff I will be using on this build Engine in progress Trying to make the inside of the trunk a little more realistic More to come...

severin681 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 OH super nice. I love this car. I have 4 of them in various stages. Great start and I like what you did with the trunk. The braces for the door are really nice idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePopsicle Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I look forward to seeing this one done. I love chargers and that kandy color is awesome. Nice job on the cutouts, hinges and door panels too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydime Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Odd to see the trunk hinges done like this but, I like it. They are much closer to accurate because they are attached inside the inner trunk structure on many 1:1 cars. Great Work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northendmetalallstar Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Putty, sand... putty, sand... I hate this part. Decided to put the wheels on. Wow are they ever big... too big to turn the front ones and the back ones are touching the body. I need to either lift the suspension a bit or enlarge the fender openings... or possibly a bit of both. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
