Looks great! Love the color.

The Challenger was another project at the shop where my step dad got his car restored.

So the real one is a shade of the original 1968 Bronze. When they restored the car, they had it mixed so obviously it won't match my model paint. Gravity Colors has a Pontiac autumn bronze you might be able to get to match the original color. When I airbrushed it, it was darker than the paint color in the original car, but you might be able to spray it light enough to match.

thanks

Hello, I am new to the forum! That being said, I thought I would share my recent car project. My stepdad owns a 1968 dodge coronet 440 with a 318 cubic inch engine. So I decided to make a scale model of it. I shaved the R/T badges from the 1968 R/T body I found online. Used painted masking tape for the black vinyl top. I also had to modify the engine mounts for the smaller engine to fit with the roadrunner frame. I have added a picture of the actual car for comparison.
