FabbricaP Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The blue looks great. All your awesome Mopar builds really make me want to finally try my hand at an American muscle car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Not to nit pick as I think your doing a bang up job. BUT Are you sure of the color ? TS44 is more like Plymouth Bright Blue poly ( aka B5 ) This car was far darker than B5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) If start from the beginning of the thread you will see that JC chose the "alternate" color for the car, based on his reference photos.

afx Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Bill, I'm doing the early team car which was a different color to the dark blue almost purple color most people are familiar with.

Ok, Not seen the car in that color before. Every pic I have on file and have seen in person is the real dark blue car. Carry one. PS, If memory serves me right. The rainbow color hooded car is the Swede Savage car correct ? Solid Blue was Dan Gurneys cars ? Edited October 28, 2017 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 I thought only Swede ran the hood stripes as well but as always seem to be the case there is an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks fantastic. Just waiting for the hood/spoiler to come back in stock. Did they use yours as a master JC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they use yours as a master JC? The decals are impressive. No they didn't use my parts for the resin hood & spoiler David but they look to be based on the same Revellogram kit I sourced mine from.

Mr. Metallic Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 So JC, now that you have the decals, does that mean this one is back on the bench? Or are you waiting until you finish your sweet Falcon gasser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yea Craig I would like to get the gasser wrapped up before I dive back into this one. I also have a handful of other builds in various stages of construction that I really need to finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublin boy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Are you going to polish out or clear it JC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a Cuda from Michaels a couple weeks ago with a 50% off coupon, decals from Mike's are in, just need the hood/spoiler. I could make my own too, but for $7 I'll pick up the resin one. But that pic of the rollcage and your WiP pics are gonna make it easier to build this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'll rub it out some Shay, I don't typically clear my builds. Your welcome David, please post your WIP when it gets underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Racing Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 This car was one of my favorite back in the day. Swede Savage was a brilliant driver taken from us too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
