Furiousgeorge Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I’ve got this in the go now that the GTX is done. I’m doing something a bit different with this one, though I’m not sure how it’ll work out, so I’ll keep it under my hat for now ?. So far I’ve got the basic engine together (440 six pac), it’ll have basic wiring and plumbing. Some body work and engine bay detail were added, since these kits are a bit light in that area. I’ve used some parts from the Revell ‘68 Charger (braces and bolts) as well as building the hood latch plate. I just have to add the spring. I’m also using the Charger front suspension and rear axle, since these Super Bee and Roadrunner kits all seem to have the wheels way to far in. It'll have steel rims and dog dish caps (Fireball Modelworks resin pieces). I haven’t decided on a colour combo yet, suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Nice additions and modifications / improvements ! That c.1990 AMT Dana 60 never looked right to me -- looks closer to a Chrysler 9.25" rear or 1973-1980 . Colour combo ? GB7 blue with B5 / B7 interior .

Furiousgeorge Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thanks! The charger rear end definitely looks better! Im actually using pics I found online of this car for reference and inspiration! It does look good with that colour combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I'm partial to black with a red office, but this car can look cool in SO many combos! Looking forward to this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Nice details on the engine bay. Can’t wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) After seeing this one on Graveyard Carz, I've falling in love with the colors. By the way, great work so far adding more details. I have one of these in the stash but haven't gotten to it yet. I will be watching.

I believe the paint code is T7 Just for grins . ..... the above and this one are pictures of the same car. As Found in a Canadian junkyard There were a total of 3 1970 Hemi Coronet RT convertibles. This one, Sold new in Canada , there was a FJ5 limelight one, sold new in Switzerland .( imported back into the US maybe early 90s timeframe. ) Then a 3rd one produced/sold for the US market , that one is unaccounted for as far as I know Edited September 18, 2019 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiousgeorge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I’ve never found anything that awesome in a junkyard! Not a lot of progress lately, we had 4 extra high school kids boarding here this week for a big student leadership convention. Now things are back to normal, so hopefully I can hit this one hard and get something done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragcarz Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I did mine in Vitamin C with Burnt Orange interior, replica of my high school buddy’s car. I like the addition of the lock support and fender brackets. Looks great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 "Bout ten years ago I almost bought a black with black interior '70 Coronet, I believe was an R/T if I remember correctly. Your model would look great in black Trent, although the picture above with the bronze color looks great also. Like your added details. I've used Fireball wheels, tires, and dog dishes on a Mopar build a couple of years ago and it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiousgeorge Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Ok, got some work done on this, though not alot. I got distracted by Steven Guthmillers ‘65 Fury, and ended up starting a ‘66 Sport Fury to replicate a car I used to own, into what I wanted that car to be. So the plan with this build is to do the drivers side as a factory fresh car, the passenger side as a worn out old beater. I want to say I saw this idea somewhere, but I can’t remember where for the life of me! I’ve got a start on the rust layers, and the base engine (440 six pac). The engine will be fun, as the beater side will be missing parts (I opened the distributor, adding the rotor, belt will be gone, and the upper rad hose is gone, there’ll just be a bit of it on the drivers side). Color-wise, I haven’t settled on exterior colour yet, though the interior will be white. I think that’ll show off the new/old difference best.

randyc Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 nice project. Makes me want to dig mine out and start on it. but then I know it might get stalled... And color - what in the world would I do? I have a 67 Charger in bronze with bronze interior. Lots of B5 blue cars. High Impact colors seem too easy. I like this generation of cars with a poly exterior and matching interior. That was always to coolest to me. Especially considering the color choices now. I guess wanting to build one is what keeps me from selling it and the multitudes of the AMT variants I have. I need to finish one more car and may need parts... Keep it coming.

Furiousgeorge Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Got some grunge down today, looking close to what I want. This project just might work out after all, as long as my luck with it holds out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 With the engine weathering, are you building a "barn find", or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiousgeorge Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 It’ll be both! The passenger side will be a junker, the drivers side showroom fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiousgeorge Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Got some work done on this. Some bits added to the engine, and most of the rust layering on the body. Having fun with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
