The dark chrome was definitely a happy accident, as it really adds to the sinister look it has going for it. That interior, wow! Great stance and paint as well. Congrats! Thanks for posting, it gives me some inspiration to dig mine out of the stash and get it started. Planning on something similar to what you've built here.

Thanks again guys, and I agree, that I wish this kit (and their others) were a little cheaper.

Oh that's nice! Beautiful paint, black sure isn't easy to play with. Wheels/tires are a great choice and give it a very aggressive look. Really like that shifter as well.

Thanks a lot guys. Maybe I should have put a warning in the title about the bright color LOL. They are the kit supplied decals. They laid down beautifully with just a little setting solution.

Beautiful job on those decals, very intimidating looking indeed. Congrats on another great build and thanks for sharing!

That looks great to me. Those 300's had such beautiful, clean lines. You can never go wrong with that color combo either.

Finished this one up last weekend. It's the first Aoshima kit I've built and it went together pretty smoothly. Though, I did bugger up the side windows a little bit unfortunately. She's completely box stock other than the license plate decal. Hosed down in Tamiya TS-22 Light Green and polished out. I left all the LW decals off for a cleaner look. This was a nice change of pace from my usual 60's & 70's American iron builds. Thanks for lookin' and any comments or questions.

A turbo 300? Heck yeah! And man, I never would have thought steelies & caps would look so good on this gen. Very cool build Chuck!

Nice lookin' Scout Mike. It wears that green well. They sure are pretty simplified kits, but they are such a cool subject and never get tired of seeing them. Congrats!

Pretty cool build Chad. Those tires, wheels, and grille are a great upgrade and really make it stand out.

Thanks Tom, and sorry for that late reply. For mine, during mock-ups, I found two things that seemed like it would help remedy that situation. I first mounted the cab to the chassis, and in doing so didn't seat the leading edge (behind the bumper) all the way down over the framerails. Then when throwing the box on I kind of repeated the process, this time with the rear mounting tabs. I believe those tabs a just slightly inserted into the holes. Pretty sure the front ones are about half way inserted. This also helped remedy the bowed-up look it had in the center like it was an old worn out plow truck. She's not completely lined up, but much, much better. This worked for me at least, don't know if it will work for all or maybe was just pure luck. I've got their '72 F250 plow truck to tackle someday and hope to get a similar result with it.

Was getting ready to fry up a couple eggs for breakfast when I looked out the patio door and saw a mama with two fawns in the backyard. A third fawn popped in right after taking the pic.

Now that is one great looking Dart. Who doesn't love redlines & 5 spokes on a Mopar?! Excellent build, Jason.

Bravo Dan, that's a beauty! Love all the additions you added. Nice to see one in white, looks great along with the vinyl top.

73 Charger, either just bought or still trying to be sold. Hopefully it's got a better future ahead of it. And awhile back, a McLaren 570S at a gas station in Hudson, WI.

Thanks again guys! You're correct in thinking that Chuck. I had missed out on purchasing one before he discontinued it for a time. I, too, have become really fond of the '70 front end.

Thanks Sonny. Fireballs kit (along with the wheels/tires) includes the axles and all suspension pieces, driveshafts, and transfer case. Also a couple crossmembers for the frame to bring it to F250 spec. For the body he's included in the kit the emblems, clearance lights, and optional western mirrors (mirrors are purchased separately). I think it was 3 different choices for wheels offered as well. Everything was top notch quality and fits together well, highly recommended if your interested in building one yourself!

Love the look of it, she'll look great next to the Badman.

You nailed the look of it for sure! Very nice work on modifying the wheelwells & wheelbase. I always thought this was such a cool car, and you've done it justice. The real one is on display at the Museum Of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska. I snapped a bunch of pictures of it for reference for the day I attempt to build it for myself.

Sharp looking build, been some time since I've seen one built. I gotta remember transparent blue over metallic grey as I love how that looks, and it suits very well on the GTO.

Wow that paint looks glass-smooth, always a challenge to get black looking this good. Well done Charger, Ken!

Beautiful P-38 and back story. The Mustang is sharp too. Last fall I took a two night trip up along Lake Superior. Stopped at the Veteran's Museum in Superior, they have a replica of Bong's plane and some personal items of his. I also went to the little town of Poplar (just outside of Superior and where he grew up) and visited his grave.

Sinister looking indeed! Superb build as aways Randy, love those Coronets!

Wow that is a knockout, Larry! Beautiful finishes everywhere on the build.

That is one outstanding build, Bill! Like it's been previously said already, everything looks spot-on factory. Love all the detail you added under the hood and the wired up receiver hitch. I'm gonna have to look at your WIP thread, as I like the modification to the dashboard. Also noticed the Montana plates, maybe our trucks have crossed paths at some point! LOL
