Mr. Can Am Garage Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Haven't felt like taking pics. of this project till now. It's pretty far along but it's finally starting to come together. I've decided not to wire the Hemi just because. Too humid to get all that fiddly with plug wires. It's built to replicate a special order '68 - Buffed silver over a silver and black interior. I just had to see if the recently arrived resin from Perry's would fit nicely and it does. A future project will be a '69 RR painted Spanish Gold to replicate a local 1:1. A mockup to see how the interior looks/fits. Wheels are painted Tamiya NATO black which is more of a very dark grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey429 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Looks good. The silver/silver combo makes this baby bright. It would definitley be hard to miss with the top down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 It's almost too dang humid to work on a model so progress is slow. BMF is almost finished. The marker lamps were done with Sharpies and some Testors Clear Parts Cement over BMF. The woodgrain was done using a brown Sharpie over Tamiya Red Brown acyrlic.

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 It's been finsihed about a week now. Pardon me for taking so long to post pics.. Been fretting over a new PC. Finally took the plunge last night and bought a Dell. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Yeah. I know about the hood. There's a few other minor details that need to be looked at before it hits the road.
