Looking at the photos it's hard to tell what's BMF and what's foil , your hand is steadier than mine ! I guess we'll survive without using BMF . Seriously though , we're all critical of our own work but from what I can see it turned out great . . . Congrats !

That looks great , I like your Vicky body !

Perfect color for a '70 and nice detailing ! That diecast looks pretty nice too !

Glad to hear , I'll go check it out !

That dash and steering wheel look terrific ! I like the PE rivets added to the steering wheel .

Beautifully done Jim ! I like everything you've done here , but the washes and detail on the engine really catch my eye . Excellent work !

Haven't seen one of these built for a loooong time and yours is excellent ! The paint and added details along with the use of Spaztix really make it stand out , really nicely done !

All decals have a clear lacquer coating or binder and as the decals age this coating degrades to a point where the decal disintegrates when dipped in water , the solution is to recoat the decals with a clear spray of some kind . A clear lacquer such as Testors works the best , but just about any clear will work . Be careful with acrylic clear sprays like Krylon . While they dry very flexible which is a good thing , the decals also end up being easily stretched . With small decals this isn't a problem but with larger decals the stretching will actually crack the ink as you apply the decal ruining your day . Also be aware that decal solvents and setting solutions can dissolve Krylon if over used also dissolving the ink , so use them sparingly . Clear lacquers don't dissolve as easily and don't stretch . Bottom line is you can use any spray clear but always try to test it first on your decals so there are no surprises .

Wow ! Very very well done ! One of my favorite cars and driver from that era .

Beautiful custom Jim ! That color is gorgeous !

That's gorgeous in blue with white interior , excellent job !

Thanks Chris ! Thanks much Michal !

Excellent ! Would never know you used decals instead of paint , those colors really look great !

Oh that's sweet looking , love that color !

That's a nice one Ray , Beautiful paint !!

Those are soooooo coooool ! What a great concept and great workmanship !

Thanks Chris ! Thank you Gareth ! Lots of patience and re-do's to get the foil done . Thank you David ! Thanks much Roger ! Lots of memories , especially while searching for photos of the original car . Thank you very much Carl !

Like already has been said the color is perfect for this year Camaro and so is your choice of wheels . The added details to the engine are the icing on the cake , great job !

Love it , great job Tony ! I really butchered one of these as a kid , may have to try another one !

Glad to see this got bumped , seeing this a couple years ago inspired me to get off my but and build the one I had planned for years . Beautiful Dodge !

You and me both !!! I actually cleared my bench and sat the body right in front where I would stare at it every day , I did that for two weeks before I got up the nerve to start cutting ! Thanks for the comment though I've seen plenty that are much better . The top for my convertible came from the Monogram '59 Impala kit . I hope you find a 2dr sedan one day or can convert a hardtop , it's a good feeling to build something that has a family history .

When I tried the foil now available from BMF (I hate calling it new) I also had problems when cutting it , the blade not only pulled at the foil it also put little tears or rips in it all along the length of the cut . A complete mess ! Now I've used the last of my "New Improved" Chrome on the '60 Dodge so not sure about the next build . I can't blame you for throwing in the towel , I guess we have to start thinking old school and go back to painting all of the trim .

Beautiful 'Cuda Roger , and a great story ! I like the "Dated" look myself , most of the cars I've ever owned ended up with that look .

I can almost hear it starting up and rumbling out of the driveway , great job !

Thanks very much Steve , you may have built your '60 years ago but it's still the nicest one around ! I used your photos for reference many times , it was a huge help !
