Furiousgeorge Posted March 20, 2016 I'm trying to get this one banged out for a local contest to sit with a box stock Super Bee. I'm a fair ways into this one already, so I should be able to keep up with a wip! Color is Tamiya sky blue, the interior is white. I went with a 440 4bbl, with the intake and coil from the Revell '68 Charger, and the carb from the AMT '71 Charger. It's wired and plumbed, though not quite done yet. I'm also adding bits from the '68 Dart (door handles, wipers and whatever else strikes my fancy). I've got a set of the pad printed Polyglass tires to throw on.

Snake45 Posted March 21, 2016 Very, very nice! And thanks for using black plug wires for a stock build and not yellow or blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furiousgeorge Posted March 21, 2016 Speedfreak mine is the little square 1/4 oz bottle, #1185.Snake45 I have used yellow in the past, but only for racing or hotrodded engines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTalmage Posted March 21, 2016 That's going to be a beautiful car when finished. Lots of good detail going in... I can't bring myself to go that far. I have trouble with tiny parts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snake45 Posted March 21, 2016 Snake45 I have used yellow in the past, but only for racing or hotrodded engines. And that is exactly where they belong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furiousgeorge Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks for all the kind words! I just got off of working nights, and got a little bit accomplished. The engine bay is done, hopefully it holds together when I jam it into the body! I always hate that stage of a build... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carl63_99 Posted March 25, 2016 Nice work! This model makes me ask, when Mopar painted the rockers black, did they mask off the underside so the black didn't get on the bottom? Anybody know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
