Monogram 1970 Challenger T/A Rebuild-Under Glass 03-13
mustang1989 replied to mustang1989's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Thanks Riley! See the 56 Ford F-100 thread in the light truck workbench section! Kevin: Thanks man! I've gotcha covered if you need any parts. As far as your front end, take the posts that you cut off and glue 'em in the head light bucket holes to fill the holes. I filled the bottoms with super glue and painted chrome silver over all of it to smooth it out. Doug: Thanks bud! Fun??!! Actually..................it was! Carl: Me too....me too! I took care of the ejector pin marks on the bottom of the hood yesterday and primed it again today. -
Troy & Al: Man I hope I don't disappoint! lol . This'll be a drawn out WIP as I'm building another kit as well which means I'll be making good progress one week and then the next week there won't be any but I'll get this done , rest assured. I've already got the plans going in my head. I know what I want, it's how I'm gonna get there that I'm still rolling around. And then you have what's actually gonna happen during the build itself! John: Thanks for the comments. I'm most likely going to have to take some out of the bed for this one. There's just a lot of tire back there.

Just got the kit in last night along with the Tamiya TS-14 I'll need for priming a few things that I'll be using Alclad on (which is still coming in the mail). The only thing wrong with the kit is that it was missing its original wheels. The owner stuffed a set of wire wheels in the boxing from a later release of the kit. I'm not too worried about it due to the fact that I've got a set of Draglites to put on it. I also have a spare parts kit on the way as we speak as I've got a few mods I want to do to this one. Looks like I'll be tubbing this one.

Awesome stuff Tim!!! You have really pulled off a feat here with all of these builds. I mean I've seen folks build two or three at the same time but never six!!!!! Are you considering showing all of these at one time at show? -

To be honest with you Tom, I surprised myself with this build. There are definitely things that I'll be improving on in the next build but I caught myself sitting back looking at it this morning after I had reached the end of my morning bench time thinking, "Did I just build that??". -

Brodie: Thanks man! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your Challenger build. As far as my build going in the Under Glass section......I can't wait either. This project was only supposed to take a week!! And that was over 4 months ago!!! Tom: I appreciate you're comments and input buddy! The negative battery cable does need a little touch up. I'd rather catch it now!!! Dan:Thanks and me too! -

Well this morning at the end of benchtime finds me with just the hood to go and I'm thinking about putting a radio antenna on it and that's it. I got the rear spoiler finished up this morning and installed the rear bumper / valance assy. I'm not real happy with the tail light panel in photos because it looks like I missed the mark all together at the back up light area but it's straight I can tell you that! It'll take me a few days to sort the hood out due to the ejector pin marks on the bottom side to iron out but this thing is all but there.............................. -

Thanks Carl! Man that was a find all to it's own there. I was at my shop and found this wire on the floor. I almost tossed it and thought to myself.................."Now that's just the right scale for a heater hose!". The rest is history! lol -

Tim: I want to bud....I really do! I've still got the rear valance/ tail light panel, hood assy to repair and paint, and an antenna to install. I think that's it. Thanks for the comments buddy! Tom: Thanks man!! I'm having nightmares about hose clamps! lol -

Jose: Thanks dude! Randy: I appreciate the good word man! I like what you're doin' with that GT-40.....wow! Dan: Thanks buddy! I'm lookin' forward to bein' there myself. We'll see how the red beast fares! lol Brodie: Thanks for the encouragement! Glad you were able to fix that. I have three of those kits and none of 'em have that issue. I'd like to suggest Revell kit #85-4213 for some additional goodies for your T/A build. The engine in that kit sucks canal water but the air cleaner and brake booster/master cylinders alone are worthwhile additions to the engine bay. There's a few other things you can use out of that kit as well. I used the IP decals out of it for the IP gauge work on this build.
