spkgibson Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I just finished this one yesterday, I painted it with Krylon Butter Cream, It is an exact match for the Jasmine Yellow Chrysler used that year, The interior is Painted in Duplicolor Medium Tan Interior paint, The entire gas tank Is aluminum BMF ,As is the Muffler,and Cat Converter, The rest is hand painted, I didn't detail the engine bat as much as the last one I built, I was being lazy, I made sure I got all the Details correct on the Chassis, So from underneath It Is 100% correct detail wise using the chassis in the kit, Enjoy, By the way I started this on Tuesday, So Not to bad for 3 days work, The body and other parts were painted back in October of last year.

realgone58 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice build, and you got the tail lights right! So many folks overlook that area on these. Jasmine yellow it is. I had a '78 Newport in that color. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 who needs them hehe If it's supposed to be a factory stock, which I assume it is, the fact that they're missing sticks out like a sore thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice work Steve, in spite of the missing mirrors. Sometimes you can be a bit retentive Harry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice work Steve, in spite of the missing mirrors. Sometimes you can be a bit retentive Harry! Would you build a model and leave off the left front wheel? Or the hood? Or the steering wheel? Or the right side valve cover? Of course not. So why leave off the mirrors?

Guest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Easy Harry, just joking around. Maybe he did not have any. Some kits do not. Edited April 14, 2013 by midnightprowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Easy Harry, just joking around. Maybe he did not have any. Some kits do not. I know, I probably sound like a raving lunatic... But I see this all the time... otherwise nice models, fully detailed, foiled, polished, even flocked... obviously the builder took time and made an effort... and yet no rearview mirrors, inside or out (most of the time, out). It's sort of a pet peeve of mine. I realize that some kits are missing them, but that's what a parts box is for! Especially on a factory-stock build, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 True enough. If I dont have what I need, I'll post for the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Let the absence of mirror not reflect otherwise on a good build. I'm surprised I missed this one....two years ago? Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spkgibson Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Mirrors?...I don't have the 64' dodge kit to swipe it out of, Yes the car still looks exactly the same, Thanks for pointing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
