Great color combo. Nice job

Great collection

Nice Ford Zippi. Love that root beer color. Great job on the engine

Classy! Those wheels are perfect for this car

In final assembly. The next time you see her, she'll be in the other section. Thanks for playing along

Much like Chrysler back in the 60s, I too am experimenting with new ideas. I'm using the dull side of tin foil to cover the lower half of the body. It gives that bright look without being too shiny. Then I'll go after the trim with the Molotow pen. Another experiment was to use a fresh Sharpie to cover the roof. I don't hate it.

After 2 coats of paint and one coat of clear. 2 days after the clear dried... I got an anxious and I had to do a test fit. There are a few things that I should be addressing but I'm willing to let them go. I got a little overspray on the headliner. I may go after this with some light grit to remove the overspray and generally tone down the red. The body lines still slightly show the plastic color. I didnt notice this before I shot the clear. I need to polish the glass a bit and throw on some chrome yet. Not to mention adress the worn bumpers. Stay Tuned...

Aw man, this is gonna be cool!

Good news! Glad to see something is working. Hang in there

Great looking Charger. Love the engine bay! Top shelf

Very well built. Love the interior

Thanks! I believe that there are 3 flavors. One was a promo and Johan made an easy build kit and a more complex kit with all the fixins. I'm sure others on the board have more info on this. This one, I think is an easy build. The bottom was held on with 2 screws. I have another one that has 2 rivets holding it together. Not sure of the scale size of the Pegasus wheels. They are definitely not on the larger size. I think these look just right.

Great looking chassis! Glad to see that you made the front wheels poseable

As shown earlier, I had to bust apart the interior so some detail could be added. Everything including the headliner got a splash of red. I wanted to stick with Chrysler Fire Red but the only can the auto store had was open and used. I had to settle for the GM alternative. The large chrome areas on the door cards and seat backs were done with white glue and cheap tin foil. I couldn't find my flat white for the dial faces so I used what was on hand. Liquid Paper. Next I held the tub together with tape while I applied a liberal amount of glue to bind it all together. I found a set of headlight lenses in the junk yard that snapped right in. Next I'll brighten up the chrome with some Molotow. Stay Tuned...

Nice job on the wheel tubs and frame. Love the color and finish

Classy

Nice job on the Duster. Ive used pill bottles more than once before on some of my builds. The stance is going to be killer

Great idea! I wish I knew how to do something like that.

Nice looking piece. Might try oven cleaner before brake fluid. Just sayin

How about a blown Hemi 55 Nomad? This one has been on and off the shelf more times than I can count. One day...

Thanks gents. Next I worked on the rear half of the chassis. In order to get the wheels up under the body I needed to narrow the frame. I had to reinforce the frame so it wouldn't fall to pieces. While I was at it I narrowed the rear axle as well. I'm keeping this car a curbside so most of this will not be seen so I mounted the rear axle to the frame hard tail style -no springs. It's a shame not to have a power plant. This old engine would wave looked cool in an open engine bay. Now that the foundation is complete it's off to the interior. As you may know this was molded as one piece. Well 2 pieces if you include the dash. In order for me to add detail to the door panels, I had to liberate them from the rest of the interior. Even as a curbside, this is proving to be a lot of work. Stay Tuned...

Looking real nice so far

I love the idea. As for 3D printing your parts makes it even better! This way your project will be unique and it will turn out just the way you want it. Cant6 wait to see it finished

Super clean build

I was inspired by one I saw on this site. I wanted to take it a step further by having posable front wheels. I found 2 cars on ebay. They were a little more than I wanted to pay and I was a little nervous about possibly wrecking an expensive car. But the desire to have it look the way I wanted won out. Both cars arrived safely so i decided to go after the one that was of lesser quality of the two. I wanted to have poseable front wheels so the chassis that came with her just wouldn't do. I looked around and just wasn't thrilled with my 442 so I decided to use its frame. I used the upper and lower a arms and I cut the springs. I used disc brakes from the parts box and spindles are picture nails. I had to put in spacer blocks for the upper a arms. The steering rod is tube stock and I used fishing hooks for the ball joint ends. I'm using pegasus wheels. I picked up some duplicolor Chrysler Champagne for the outside. I'll be using red for the interior. Stay Tuned...
