Nice build of an often forgotten car. I remember pulling for Kinser back then.

That is fantastic, superb work! I'll be watching for Bryan's ride in the future.

Wow, that is a beauty. Fantastic work!

Superb work, that Dodge is a thing of beauty!

Beautiful, just the way I love them. I need to add one of these to my stable.

Yuri, are you sure you didn't accidentally post photos of a 1:1 Charger? Lol! Seriously though, good grief that is one amazing build, words can't describe how truly beautiful it is. And, your photos are just as impressive. Very well done my friend!

Holy smokes that is beautiful! Fantastic build and pictures.

That is a great looking model, very nicely done!

Wow, what an incredibly beautiful build! Building it in 5 weeks makes it even more impressive. Congrats!

Very nice work! I'll have to remember that paint for whenever I bring mine to the bench.

That is a beautiful Porsche Kenny. Awesome color choice and the stance is just right.

Thanks again guys. I had wanted to build it in something other than the common bright hues, and couldn't be happier that I went with black.

Looks darn good to me.

Thanks guys.

What a truly beautiful build. If I didn't know any better I'd say it's the real deal. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece with us!

Outstanding work Bill!

That's a great looking Chevy, and an excellent color choice.

Thanks again everyone. Your friend's Daytona is a beauty for sure, love the look with the steelies.

That is a wickedly cool build, very nice!

Great builds John!

Thanks so much guys, glad to share it with ya.

Very sharp build Derick. Davey was one of my favorite drivers as well, gone far too soon.

Thanks a lot guys, glad you guys like it. I had wanted to paint this in something other than the seemingly popular red with a black stripe, so when I was doing some research I had come across one in black/red stripe and was like "Yup, that's what it's going to be!". Derick - First off, welcome to the forum! The heater hoses come with the kit, otherwise all other wiring I added myself. The dizzy is a Preston's pre-wired unit. Everything else under the hood is supplied in the kit. You are correct, the Duplicolor engine paint I used on the spoiler says "with ceramic" on the label. I didn't experience any issues with it. For primer, I use Duplicolor Filler Primer (FP101), and the basecoat was the same DC Universal Black that I used on the body. I really like that primer and have used it for many years. As long as you have good coverage with it (I always apply several coats) you should be ok painting with hot laquers, at least in my experiences with it (so far so good). Plastic spoons are great for testing various paints and their compatibility, prior to shooting it on a body and hoping for the best.

Very nice! Man, I'd have a hard time attempting a decal job like that, I bet it was difficult but you did a very good job with them. Love those pics with Delicate Arch in the background!

Here's my third one off the bench this year, finishing it this morning. The kit went together very well, though the radiator core support is a very tight squeeze during final assembly and took some finessing. I moved the rear axle forward slightly to center up the tires in the wheelwells. The tires are AMT pad-printed units, and the Torque Thrusts are from the Revell '68 Mustang GT. Paint is Duplicolor Universal Black polished out with MCW Buff-EZ and Final Finish, with no clearcoat. I used Duplicolor GM Orange-Red Engine enamel over a black basecoat for the spoiler for a pretty close match to the decal stripe. I had put the Charger script decals on the roof and tail light panel, but removed them as they had silvered pretty bad and looked like garbage. The air cleaner decal was a real pain as well, and didn't come out the best, but it's there. Now to figure out what to build next......
