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...

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.

Looking good there!

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!

[Skydime]

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.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
The weekend is here and it's supposed to rain, hoping to get alot of modeling done!

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.

Superb work .... loving all the detail you're putting into the build.

NICE WORK!!!

Looks Great!

Wow this is looking pretty sweet. great pictures with the hinges and such. Makes me brave enough to try that on a model

Also that color for the chassis looks great!

And great details on the engine. Can't wait for more!
