cannonball 2025 Cannonball Run - Finished builds thread
Pat Minarick replied to Mattilacken's topic in Community Builds
The 73 Charger is ready to make out to the starting line. There my be a little something hidden in the mostly stock looking Charger. This started from a glue bomb ,I used a lot of a '71 Charger to fix it. Best of luck to the finish line everybody. -

A few touch ups and a little cleaning my Charger will be done. I'll take pictures in the day time. Pretty happy how it turned out and I saved a glue bomb. -

Not the greatest paint but I'm happy with it. I don't do a lot of shiny , most just end up with patina. I really like the color but the flake is big. -

Wer sanded and another color coat . Now started BMF , I'll clear it after that. Shouldn't be much longer till it's done. Still have wheel well trim and around the side windows. -
The front axle from the Beer Wagon kit or Garbage truck kit fits very nice and slams the front end . You can shave some off the leaf spring and mount to get it even lower.

I painted them with a thin coat of taillight red . Think that's going to work. -

They have glue damaged on the back , tried BMF and it makes the damaged show. But thanks for the idea. -

Painted it Bronze. Going to give it a very light sanding , foil it and clear after it dries about a week. Has anyone painted taillight red over clear red plastic? These look a little weird in person. -

Got everything primered and base colors on. Some small detailed parts and the interior are dull coated and ready for what ever color I decide on. Started some light weathering on the chassis. Body has a silver base coat, just can't decided what color. -

I've been working on the Charger of and on. Starting to get everything ready for paint. This was a pretty bad glue bomb, I didn't have a good hood, so used the one from the 71 and added a AAR scoop. Trying for shiny paint, but may end up slightly worn and weathered. -

I used the Monaco roof with the stock height ,the Monaco windshield fits without changing it. In the rear were it meets the Cuda roof and the Monaco roof was sanded down just to blend into each other.The b-pillars were shortened to fit the body about a 1/16 of an inch. It is taller than a two-door. The 1:1 would be much better if they would have used the B-body windshield like the factory would have. And maybe pinched the rear door tops in a little. I'm not putting down the 1:1 car , that had to be a lot of work. A plastic model is a lot easier to work with 😀 Jimmy Flintstone did a casting of this with the interior and chassis pan and supposed to be making it available soon.

Just to let you guys know of I dissappear it's not my choice. Keep having to send emails and reset my password. Keeps saying I'm banned, but then says to reset my password. Can a moderator please let me know what's going on? -
