I just cut out the trunk for my 69 Dodge Charger and I was going to totally rely upon the hinge to hold it in place. i realize now this is a MUCH better way to go. Thanks!

wow that mod on the hood was mad impressive!

Carbon detail looks great. Looks like it was super tedious. Looking forward to more.

That is a great color. Thanks for sharing everything so far! You've got me excited to go and try to scratch build a frame!

OH super nice. I love this car. I have 4 of them in various stages. Great start and I like what you did with the trunk. The braces for the door are really nice idea too.

I will make sure I do, thank you for that. Any tips you can offer is always appreciated! Thank you!

Small update. Its been raining and cold here for the past week so I haven't been able to go outside and spray anything. So I just did some small stuff. Got the center console started with my detail piece for model car garage. I haven't worked with bare metal foil in a while and then I had the kids running around shaking the table I've been working on so my detailing on my doors is terrible. I think I might have to redo them at night when they are in bed.

Thank you! It was your work on your very own that inspired me to start back up again and finish this!

Wraith is cool.

Awesome! Great concept.

Cooool. I like the rim choice.

Totally worth it!

Nice custom fab stuff going on there. Good start. Lookin forward to see what you do. Thanks for sharing!

Man, I love that car. The Dodge Charger (68-69) is my favorite car of all time. I am sorry to hear about your troubles. We'll be here waiting for you when you get back. Look forward to seeing the final build.

I sit here totally intimidated by this build, the photo etched parts, and detail work you put into it. The quality of your builds really make me sit and analyze what I'm doing, and how to do it better. What parts can I modify and make better looking and what I can do to add that additional detail to really make my builds shine. These are great inspirational pieces. Thank you for sharing. Holy moley this build is awesome.

A darker take on it. I like it. Came out great!

Thank you!

Wow, that is a nice paint job. Excellent color, and oh so smooth.

Gah! And I did the mistake repeatedly!

Thank you!!

My favorite car of all time. Love seeing different versions of this car. Great build!

Woah, super tedious detail. The kind I like! I'd like to see how it all turns out!

So the last thing I was working on 10 years ago before I had to put away my hobby was this, a 1969 Z28 Camaro. I was doing it for a friend of mine who really likes this car. Well, until he got his awesome job and now drives a 2005 Corvette. (Sigh). I had originally did most of the work for this. The only thing I needed was the body paint. Well I had screwed that up royally. I ended up sanding the car down and loosing some of the details. I bought the Camaro detail set from Model Car Garage, so no harm no foul there. But, when I did the interior paint originally I had zero space to spray paint as I lived in San Francisco in an apartment. I had tried using an acrylic spray that was non toxic. It worked great. The color came out smooth and it dried quickly to be handled. Unfortunately it also remained ever so slightly tacky, so it collected amazing amounts of dust and lint. I had put ALL the detail into the interior, the dash, the console, the gear box, etc...Well I found it and took it out. I quickly dismantled the whole thing and only managed to break one part that's easily fixable. So after cleaning off the old paint, I have started the process to get it all reworked. I have slightly changed my plan for the interior colors, and managed to reshoot the body paint, and I am not unhappy with it. Oh, and one more thing, I really wanted to stick a Viper engine in it. So enough talk, the build! If you look real close at the fan shroud piece, you can see where I broke it. I don't even think it was attached, I think I just broke it painting it. The concept! I am going to try and mask the center seat parts, and do the spray glue technique for a 'vinyl look'. Then spray the outer part of the seat black. It's nothing ground breaking, but it will be the second one I'll be completing after my extended break. Thanks for looking.

Oh man I love CarToons stuff! Loved the magazine too. I will be watching this build. That engine brought a smile to my face! So awesome! Keep em coming! I went through the last 3 pages very quickly excited to see more!

Nice procedural photos of a really clean build. I like that technique of using various metalizers. Thank you for sharing!
