drodg Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I am about finished with this 65 Coronet 500. This is not the snap kit but after multiple purchases on Ebay I was able to get a pretty complete original 65 kit. I am replicating my 1:1 car, except for the Hemi engine and the wheels. First time I have not clear coated in a bit but got a pretty decent finish. I will mostly likely do a bit more work on the paint before I put it away. Thanks everyone for looking 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Looks good. I got one of the pre-painted ones and was not impressed. Gotta re do it one day. The 1:1 car is pretty sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kah puts Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Man that's a sweet ride, you've done a fantastic job replicating your own car. Don't put it away to soon I would put it somewhere so that I could see often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have built a couple of the snap kit cars and I think the body shape of the original kit looks more correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 There is something very rewarding making a model of your present or past cars and trucks. The paint finish looks great, and I like the engine and wheel upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn97 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Fabulous job David, love the look of the whitewalls & mags with the red paint, very mid-60’s vibe. Also very envious of your 1:1, what a sweet looking ride! Your build made me think about the upcoming Moebius ‘65 Dodge releases, can’t wait to buy and build a few of those!

echo Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 AMT/MPC did a great job on this kit. I had several when they came out but built them as AWB drag cars. Looking forward to the upcoming Moebius Coronets and seeing their body as compared to this fifty plus year old pre-computer designed body. Your model is coming out great, a nice tribute to your real car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
