Scottnkat Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Well, here's my latest build all finished. This was the MPC Dodge SuperBee. I painted it in Wet & Wild Buffy the Violet Slayer nail-polish. I ran brake lines from the brake master cylinder to all four wheels. I added a fuel line from the gas tank to fuel pump, then to all three carbs. I made a throttle return spring for it, and drilled out six holes in the three carbs to represent the venturis for the six-pack induction. I used a Detail Master distributor kit, and ran the battery cables and heater hoses. The kit was missing a few parts, so I used a part-box transmission, then had to lengthen the driveshaft. I also added a fuel pump and a coil for the distributor, as well as an oil filter. I added pins to the wheels to represent valve stems. I added seat belts to all four seats, and added flocking for the carpeting. I stripped the chrome and re-did it in Alclad. The decals were from the kit. Anyway, on to the pics: Here's the engine compartment: Here's the interior: and Here's the Underside: Edited May 18, 2013 by Scottnkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Nice detail!! And i always wondered why they give you a RoadRunner horn for the windshield wiper motor in these kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realgone58 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think Buffy the Violet Slayer used the formula for Mopar's Plum Crazy. Looks perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluhead Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Nice push on yourself there. Looks pretty good. I'm not much of a muscle car guy. I can appreciate them, but I rarely lust over them. There's a handful that are exceptions to that and the '70 Coronet is one of them. That mean-arse stare is just killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
