This started out as an easy build that I like to do occasionally just to keep me from burning out...but I spent as much time on it as any other model. This is a Polar Lights pre-painted 65 Coronet 500 convertible. I loved the color but it was pretty dull out of the box. I clear coated it with HOK clear coat & foiled all the trim that they had pad printed with silver & it really came to life. I detail painted the interior in tan & turquoise & did some detail on the chassis & found some old red stripe tires & Mopar Rally wheels in the parts box. Hope you enjoy.

That looks sweeeeeet for a Polar Lights Coronet. Makes me want to pull mine out of the stash and build it. Real nice interior also.

I concur.

WOW, that kit's never looked so nice.

Very nice

That is one nice model.  Those Polar Light Coronets are good for something quick to build, even if they do need a little attention- but, what kit doesn't?  Did your kit have a six cylinder distributor?  Both of mine did.

Very nice build, I have the same color Dodge kit and thinking about repainting it, but looking at yours make me change my mind !!!!

[Modlbldr]

I wish I could have found one or two in that color. The only ones I saw were red or black. I love what you did to detail this one. Looks nice!

Beautiful!

I was thinking about doing the same exact thing on one of these! Yours came out fantastic. I think this is the best color on these, and your clear makes it all the better.

Looks great....

Really well done...great finish !!!   And a super nice job on the wheels/tires .Makes one want to revist those Polar Lights kits .

Thanks guys for the great comments. This was one of those kits that was suppose to go together fast but the more I did to it the more I wanted to do. It is a really nicely detailed kit even though it's advertised as a snap kit. I glued most everything as I went. I'm glad you all liked it

[Danno]

Very, very nice.
