jbattersby Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Now that the Mercedes is finished I can devote more time to finishing the Challenger I started back in November. At this point the interior and chassis is already finished, I'm currently working on the body to fix any problems and get it painted. This is a box-stock build, the color's are inspired by the 2013 Kia Provo Concept Car. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbattersby Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Finally an update on my Challenger. I spent the weekend wet-sanding the primer, and during the week I sprayed the Body in Zero Paint's Titanium Silver. The roof and shaker hood scoop are done also in Zero Paints Orange. Hopefully I can clear coat everything this weekend and finally assemble the model before the Christmas holidays. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

426-Hemi Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 On your Charger build, I seen that you re-chromed the whole lot, question is that grille man that looks KILLER, besides the Alclad chrome what else (if anything) did you do to it to get it to look like that!? That has to be thee best '69 Charger grille for a model I've seen yet!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be thee best '69 Charger grille for a model I've seen yet!!!!!I didn't do anything special, its just the regular Alclad over gloss black. I didn't clear coat my chrome parts, I find they look quite good with just the Aclad. Glad you like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
426-Hemi Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Well it turned out GREAT! (I too use Alclad Chrome over gloss back), but man 'o man that turned out SWEET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
