I built this car many years ago when the kit was first issued. I never was happy with the paint (too dark) . I must have used gold as a base coat. Not bad but it didn't match the real car and that bothered me. I decided that a repaint was in order! Tamiya clear red over a silver base coat along with some new Slixx decals. Nice color. Only took me about twenty years to correct it!😀

That is cool!

Good job! Very clean.

Nah, I think that I've just become lazy or my skills have diminished . I don't care . I still have fun building models.

Really, really nice! The interior tub should be a model all by itself!😀

Great job! You've taken an ancient ( below average ) kit and turned it into a masterpiece!

Nice job on the car! Photos are also very well done.

Well done! Interior looks great.

You did a really nice job on this one!

I also like the lowered look! Very nice.

Very realistic and extremely well detailed! My favorite kind of build!

I believe that main reason S&M engines and even the cars through ‘69 were painted with Ford paint is that they had so much of it. When the team requested paint from Ford back in 1964, they were sent a truckload from Michigan. It was part of their sponsorship agreement. They had enough paint to last for years even though the sponsorship was over a few months after it started. That is the story I got from a former S&M team member.

Looks good! I built a bunch of those when first released

I found that kit difficult to build due to a severely warped chassis. Yours turned out great!

Sometimes you just need to build a slump buster. This kit was languishing in my stash for decades. I've used this kit in the past as a base for other cars but never built it as the Hemi Under Glass. Very simple (and inaccurate) kit but it was fun to build. Took less than a week. Not highly detailed at all but I did put an injected 426 in the back as the kit engine is completely wrong. Tamiya gold and gloss black along with Slixx decals completed the body. I think it will look good in the back of the showcase.😛 Someday I might put a 1/25 scale Bob Riggle in the seat and take some wheelie photos!As usual , the large pictures on the forum show all the flaws that my ancient eyes don't pick up!
