Nice job with the chrome work.
-
I'm quite partial to blues, and this one looks great.

Sprayng Molotow chrome; anyone here ever done it?
Roadrunner replied to Roadrunner's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I suspect it's a very Molotow like product. -
My first WIP here; '70 Dodge Challenger T/A, Parts
Roadrunner replied to Roadrunner's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I still wasn't real happy with the hood, so I mixed up a batch of semi-gloss Testors Dullcote/Glosscote and dusted it on. I like this much better now, and won't mess with it anymore.
-
Hood and radiator housing had some minor alignment issues, so I filled, sanded and re-scribed that interface (it was actually worse than I had originally thought). It now looks much better, I think.
-
I see you didn't go for the wheel well trim on yours. I really don't blame you for that, it's extremely fine detail there. The rest of what you did looks wonderful though.
-
Thanks for all the inputs, fellas, I really appreciate the support.
-
I made the dumb decision to buy the AMT '69 convertible, only to discover it's just the re-boxed '68 kit!
-
After some sanding, grinding and carving, I now have an adequate fit of the rear fender area (both sides).
-
Hood/radiator interface had a nasty low spot, probably from heavy handed sanding on my part, so I've added some surfacer to level it out.
-
Chrome parts are really well done, and I'm very happy to see this. The front grill, after applying some washes, should look great, and I really like that the headlight buckets are chromed as well.
-
In my opinion, you can't beat the stock 5-spoke wheels on this car, so that's what I'll be going with.
-
I was already thinking white interior (actually an off-white) with black carpet and dash.
-
Thanks, fellas. I'm leaning toward the darker green myself, so that's what I'll go with.
-
Given that the other two cars are blue, I thought a change was in order. This car will be painted metallic green (Tamiya) as per one of these two versions. I’m not quite sure which one yet, but have plenty of time to figure that out.
-
So, while I’m waiting for some much needed supplies to arrive that will allow the continuation (and finishing) of two other projects, I decided to start cracking on this one. I just recently grabbed this at a local model car contest/swap meet, and had been wanting it for months.
-
I love that carpet.
-
Excellent.
-
Looks real good to me.
-
Nice!
-
Thanks, fellas, I appreciate the encouragement.

Test fitting the body. Revell instructions call for adding fenders to chassis much later, but I decided it best to do it now. Good thing I chose this option, as body needs some tweaking to mate properly with fenders.

Suicide doors and a rumble seat;... awesome!
