What a beauty. I wanted one for many years as a kid... til I realized how expensive mopar stuff is. Closest thing I had was a clapped out '74 Plymouth Scamp lol

Very cool. Love it

Grille looks good to me... I'm still gonna try and scoop a lot of em up.

wow... beautiful Charger. Still got it?

I just taped them up. I'll hit em w/ BMF when its done. And yes, the roof and trunk will also be done. I am trusting my friend w/ creative control on that.

I need a front air dam from that kit lol

Beautiful work. Almost wish it wasnt a curbside! Would love to see how a full detail would look the way you are doing it.

Great imagination! I like it!

Friend of mine is masking it off and will be cutting the flames out since I just dont have much time outside of work. Here's some progress showing about how the flames will be. I really hope they turn out.

Ugh. I bought some SEM high build primer... and it reacted w/ my OLD crappy red 1-part bondo spot putty. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of sanding and then sealing it w/ another primer before the SEM. This sucks. Gonna take that much longer now.

Wow.

Just when I think I see your coolest WIP... you go and post this kind of stuff... holy cow. You have really inspired me lately to chop/cut/rebuild some old gluebombs and even NEW kits and rebuild them into hot rodded glory. I would LOVE to see what else you have out there... I still want to see that chopped 30 Model A finished.

probably due to the crossmember that revell put on the channeled frame in order to mount the grille and radiator. In order to drop the grille shell below the rails, the radiator has to be shortened. Plus, if you look at the pictures linked in the fotki album, the radiator hoses are definitely different. The channeled car has a 90 degree top hose and the highboy has a 45 degree top hose.

I'd imagine the duplicate radiator hoses are for the short and tall radiators depending on which route you take.

That's what I'm using. I'm not super impressed with it.

Thank you. I need to get a better filler primer. This doesnt "fill" as good as it should.

I'd say the Revell "streetburner" SVO, or the Easy Builder Thunderbird TurboCoupe would have similar if not the same engines as each other.

I'd chop it. but not as harsh as the JF body. BTW, the frame is amazing. I really like the design of it. Where did you get the rear crossmember over top of the axle, and even the axle itself?

I was going to say the same thing yesterday... reminds me of little coffin.... I love it though. Very out of the ordinary!

I havent, but I'll be masking the whole car, and my friend is really really good and drawing flames and he'll be cutting them out on the car. I'll definitely take pics

I love it! Is that chassis scratch built?

I sanded off the drip rails as previously mentioned. Got it in Tamiya matte black now. I'll let it sit a few days then my friend is going to mask the whole car and cut out some sweet flames for me since I've been so busy. Then I'll spray some color on it... and see where it goes...

I did a little bit more body filler work, and managed to get it in its first coat of primer last week. Been working a ton again so updates will be slow (as usual with my stuff) But here's a few tidbits to check out I think my roof turned out amazing. One spot on the passenger side I'd like to fix though. And I broke the A pillar when working on it once so I have to address that too. I dont know how you guys keep from accidentally smashing these things when doing bodywork! I had put some body filler on quarters behind the door but it fell off when I tried to sand it... guess it doesnt stick to zapagap real well. Hopefully it will now that it has primer. Also needs a little work on the fenders it looks like. But its better than it was!

I considered taking pictures but I was too busy drooling over beautiful builds and blowing money.

Speaking of Eleanor.... I have the 1/18 scale die cast Eleanor. I love it.
