mrmike Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 I decided to add more detail to my 440 6 pack. I used a piece of wire and some superglue and added the hose from the PCV valve to the carbs. Then I found my Shabo Tire Graphics and added Goodyear to the tires. I thought I had an extra set of water slide decals, but I must have used them elsewhere. More GTX to come... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 Thanks Alex! I did a sniff test on this and it is still gassing out even after 12 hours in my dehumidifier. It is dry to the touch, but still gassing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 I did some detailing on the front grille, rear trunk lid and the taillights. Then I started taping the hood for the Performance Hood Treatment. More GTX to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 I finally painted the '69 GTX with Tamiya TS-6 Matt Black. Next will be Gloss Clear over the Matt Black to bring out a glossiness to the paint. More GTX to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks Carl! I haven't been working on this project like I should. I haven't felt like like working anything like I should, so some projects have languished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 The engine bay is complete. I even added the extra horn on the other side of the radiator core support. After looking at several other builds of the '69 GTX, I noticed a squat in the rear suspension. I decided to add a couple of risers to the rear leaf springs to raise the suspension a little. More GTX to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWT Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Nice touches on both. Those risers will be cool add on for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks Jeremy! I want to eliminate the rear squat and I searched my many parts boxes to find the raisers for a '68 Dodge that I had to modified. I can't remember if it is for a Charger or a Dart.
