'67 Plymouth GTX build Update 7-28-14 (Under glass)
TFchronos replied to TFchronos's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Here's what I've been up to these past few days. Got some engine work done, detailed as much as my skill level will let me. I can't tell you how much respect I have for all you guys that do these ultra detailed photo accurate engines, it's nothing short of extraordinary what you guys do. Next is a little modification to the exhaust, I chopped off the old turbo style mufflers and made some cherry bombs for it. And last but not least are some custom exhaust tips inspired by the C6 Corvette tips. Thanks for looking! -

'67 Plymouth GTX build Update 7-28-14 (Under glass)

Part 2 Finished and in place. Having smoothed over the bumpers I decided to move the turn signals under the grille. Also a look at the tail lights they look darker in the picture than they really are. And last but not least at the request of Gene, some purple fuzzy dice. Thank for looking! -

Here's another update with another modification I'm making. This one is to the front bumper, I didn't like the gap between the grille and bumper, it doesn't match the lower body line or mount very flush to the body either. Plus with its lower stance on the front it does need to be picked up anyway. So that's what this update is about, tightening the bumper up to the body a bit better. Stock straight from the box. Sorry, I forgot to snap a picture of it on the body before doing this. Bumper mount before. Just cutting out the supports raised it enough. Glued back together. Test fit. Update will be finished off in the next post. -
Very nice and clean work, looks amazing!

Thank you Shaun I found the gauges on Amazon, saved the images, did a little resizing in MS paint and printed them on my printer using card stock paper. For the tail lights I have this sheet of clear plastic I bought years ago that is very flexible. I just cut some narrow pieces and bent them to the shape of the read end. -

Thank you for the very kind offer, I greatly appreciate it. But this (for now at least lol) is the only build I was planning to do darker lights on. I don't think I would have a good use for any right now. I ended up painting these with some Tamiya Gunmetal Friday. Thank you again Mike, keep on making killer custom tail lights my friend. Thank you Jason, it did take a few tries to get them right lol. -

Those tail lights are awesome Mike, thanks for the tip. I don't know any smokers, but will keep that in mind. -
