Thanks Joe. Maybe I'll try Elmers again, I've used it before and thought it was just ok. I wonder if Micro-Scale Kristal Klear is any better?

Thanks Carl, I wasn't sure about the color choices, glad you like them, seemed kind of drab to me but there will be plenty of color in other places. The engine is going to be either Tamiya Italian Red, or , some kind of Hemi Orange with 'flat red' headers.

Awsome Valiant. Early A-bodies are gaining in popularity.

That looks very nice Rob, what color on the interior?

Nice project Ron, can't wait to see what you do with this.

Thanks Stephen, It may be that I am making progress. The next step is to do the front axle, there are other options but I'm just going to use the kit axle, that way the brake rotor's aren't touching the wheel assembly at all! Then comes the engine, which , was assembled using Mico-Scale Liquitape, which needs to be removed with paint thinner after it's dried, not fun to me. My recommendation, don't use the stuff for a full engine mock-up. I wish someone would come up with a glue that actually holds styrene securely, that can be cleaned off with just water, I haven't found anything yet that 'really' does that, it's been 'sort of like that' so far. My LHS guy told me to use that 'Blue Tack' stuff for mock-uips, anyone have any experience with that?

This is an actual update, it's been a while. I bit off more than I was ready to chew on this resto, it's testing my styrene metal that's for sure. Got the frame, tub, rear end, springs, shocks and sub-frame painted. Those rear springs are beauties aren't they? I don't know if I'm going to use the steering wheel pictured, after futher viewing of the PDA Plymouth, I think the kit steering wheel is actually closer to what was used, minus the holes of course which, I'm not going to fill, I added spacers cut from round styrene stock to each side of the rear end to give it a wider track, I have some for the front end too. I'm sure there's something I've forgotten, nothing is glued together yet. All comments are appreciated and welcome! From the bottom, we have Tamiya Light Gun Metal for the frame (I messed with the color badly for this photo), Dupli-Color Universal Black on the front springs and sub-frame, and Tamiya semi-gloss black for the rear end. Front Springs: Rear side view: From the rear : Parts is parts, the shocks are Dupli-Color Cardinal Red: That's all folks! Thanks for stopping by! Keep your lamps trimmed and burning! (I knew there would be something I forgot), Yureka, it's the tub! The roll bar will be Model Master Stainless Steel Metalizer with sealer:

It's kind of hard to tell, looks promising.

Looks great Brizio. How did you make the things that go under the ramp?

That will look so awsome when it's done!

Great job on a beautiful car, that color is killer.

Nice job TJ! I love those Challengers, can't wait for the 2015's. Your color choices worked really well on this car. I'd be putting that one somewhere safe and clean.

Really nice job Ludwig, very nice build. One fairly easy thing that I see that could make it even better would be to make some seat belts from scratch (or, after market) to replace those big clunky plastic ones. Nice work.

Nice job Raymond, the colors look good, so does the trunk mural.

It looks mean, and ready to deliver. I like it.

I like it.

It's almost ready for final assembly. I've been consumed (literally it seems at times) by the Barracuda.

Sorry to hear about the decal/stripe problem Joe.

JC, That ring around the small gauge looks really good. I have some of those in a couple of sizes from MCG, will use them. The straight pin shift lever looks in scale, nice job on the whole dash set-up.

Thanks Mike! Those boots look good, I will probably order some for the Hemi Hustler. I won't do the plugs for this build, you wouldn't see them anyway. I'm not seeing things that aren't there! (yet)

Thanks Mike, that must be the ones I saw somewhere. I'm trying to find a better picture of them now. I've also seen some turned aluminum spark plugs somewhere, I can't find those either.

It seems that I saw some ready made black rubber(?) plug boots for the 426 Hemi online somewhere but I can't find them now. Does anybody know who makes them, or , was I seeing things? Thanks.

Nice JC, How do you do your gauge faces, with wash and tooth pick? And what's under the shift boot a piece of sprue?

Thanks Riley, I just dropped the frame and tub from Speed City Resin in some Super Clean five minutes ago, will let it soak overnight, so , I should have some things to update in a couple of days. The weather prediction here starting Friday and lasting for the next seven days (unheard of in these parts) is conducive to painting, if that holds out I hope to make some real progress on this, and , one other build I have going. Yes! I hear my can a rattlin'

This is looking awsome Ron, The blue color is yummy and the engine is very nice. I think you might knock this one out of the park, I hope so.
