Furiousgeorge Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) A fun build, though the final assembly was a very irritating challenge! After hours of trying it finally got together. Though I couldn’t get the tail stripes (2 white and a black) to work out, it’s good enough for me. Paint is Tamiya Park Green. Done in a half junk-half new style, I enjoyed adding and scratch building the small stuff. I added bracing in the engine bay, along with some nuts to liven it up some. Junk side of engine is mid tube up, with the distributor cap and plug wires removed. Leaking upper rad hose has been removed. The owner forgot to change the washer fluid to winter stuff, and the tank cracked, so it was removed. This car has the front suspension and rear axle from the ‘68 Charger kit to widen the stance (these kits are way too narrow!), and I used the interior tub from a ‘68 Roadrunner. Not correct I know, but the kit tub was just terrible! Rims are Fireball Modelworks resin pieces with three caps from the ‘68 Charger and one from the Monogram ‘70 Roadrunner (with miss-matched tire). All in all a fun build, but definitely glad it’s done! Edited October 15, 2019 by Furiousgeorge Added to title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koellefornia Kid Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Very cool idea and very nice executed! The junk side looks very realistic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Great idea for your build. Both sides are well done and very realistic looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoDak1 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Excellent weathering excellent build! I saw a 1:1 57 vette in a half and half scheme exactly like that and I thought someone slipped something in my drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Extremely well done weathering, although you did miss the great big hole in the floor pan. Every reconstruction show I watch on TV requires new floorboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furiousgeorge Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Thanks! It’s nice to have something different on the shelf! I thought about glows in the floor, but just didn’t get around to it, next time I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 A unique idea! Looks good. A suggestion...remove the "bumps" on the hood scoops. They shouldn't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
