Sharp color, looks good!

Here's the AMT 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS427. It's done in Tamiya TS-87 Titanium Gold and cleared with Tamiya TS-13. I used Evergreen .010 x .030 styrene strips to trim in the vinyl top, and just used Apple Barrel Black craft paint airbrushed from a distance to get a bit of texture before moving in closer for the final cover coat. The interior is a mixture of craft paints as well, and so is the engine. I wasn't too keen on the tires from the kit, so I used the extra set from the AMT '68 Camaro Z28 kit. The trim is all Bare Metal Foil, and I added valve stems, door locks, and ignition wires for extra details. This seems like one of AMT's nicer kits, and it was a really fun build. Thanks for looking!

Very nice work! Great paint/color! The Impala is a stunner as well!

Very nice!! It looks like quite the challenge, to say the least!

Very nice and well done! Hard to make a 4-door Taurus look cool, but you aced it!!

Very nice, especially for being that old! Foil from a Nestle candy bar wrapper, now that's using some resources!!

I like the color! I didn't know Testors made Turquoise in the Extreme lineup, it must be new. Is that the Greased Lightning kit?

Nice looking Roadster! I'll get around to mine whenever I figure out a color, lol.

Excellent work! Very nice details!

Revell 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 1/25 Scale 2'n1 Kit.

Thanks everyone! While the plug wires are admittedly just a tiny bit overscale, I don't consider them egregiously oversized, especially considering they're the same 30 AWG size most everyone else uses. They may look like the same size as the heater hoses, but they are not. I do admit the heater hose diameter is on the small side, but it's the kit supplied heater hose assembly that I chose to use. -
Nice save!

Here's the Revell 1968 Dodge Dart GTS. What a fantastic kit! Everything fit great, and I had pretty much no issues at all with the build, although I did have to shorten the rear axles to fit the wider tires inside the stock fenderwells. The color is Tamiya TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue over gray primer, and was cleared with Tamiya TS-13. The red stripes are decals from the Revell '68 Charger 2'n1 kit. The seats, door panels and dash are Apple Barrel Gloss Black craft paint. The engine is a mixture of Folkart Dutch Aqua with a touch of Apple Barrel Laguna craft paints. The wheels are from Morgan Automotive Detail and were airbrushed with Molotow Chrome. The rear tires are from Fireball Modelworks, and the fronts are from the parts box, although I'm pretty sure they came from the Revell '68 Chevelle kit. I did the trim in Bare Metal Foil and added door locks, valve stems, and ignition wires for added detail. Again, what a great kit, I really enjoyed this build. I included both indoor and outdoor pics to show how the metallic paint pops in the sun. Thanks for looking!

Revell 1968 Dodge Dart GTS Restomod/Restified?

The trim got Bare Metal Foiled on Monday, followed by a wax with Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I got the interior finished up this morning, and also finished the motor. It's just setting in the chassis for now, and it looks like it needs a few touch-ups and I have to paint the oil filter yet. Next up is to get the "glass" in the body and get it ready to mate with the interior and chassis. -
