Haven't felt like taking pics. of this project till now.



It's pretty far along but it's finally starting to come together.



I've decided not to wire the Hemi just because. Too humid to get all that fiddly with plug wires.



It's built to replicate a special order '68 - Buffed silver over a silver and black interior.



I just had to see if the recently arrived resin from Perry's would fit nicely and it does. A future project will be a '69 RR painted Spanish Gold to replicate a local 1:1.





A mockup to see how the interior looks/fits.





Wheels are painted Tamiya NATO black which is more of a very dark grey.

Its looking good John

[Stingray69]

Yes indeed that is looking very good! Great clean work :mrgreen:

Looks good. The silver/silver combo makes this baby bright. It would definitley be hard to miss with the top down.

Not a fan of convertibles , but that looks great , I think its the interior area that really catches my eye , cool one John

[Mr. Can Am Garage]

Got Jackson to polish some paint today.



It's starting to look pretty good IMHO.

Looks great!

Great color scheme, coming along nicely!

[Mr. Can Am Garage]

It's almost too dang humid to work on a model so progress is slow.



BMF is almost finished.



The marker lamps were done with Sharpies and some Testors Clear Parts Cement over BMF.



The woodgrain was done using a brown Sharpie over Tamiya Red Brown acyrlic.

I like your woodgrain John!

I can never get mine to come out right when I try it.

It's been finsihed about a week now. Pardon me for taking so long to post pics.. Been fretting over a new PC. Finally took the plunge last night and bought a Dell.

Yeah. I know about the hood. There's a few other minor details that need to be looked at before it hits the road.
