Nice build of one of my favorite early exotics. Shame about the glass. You handled it well. I did the same thing when I built my 1/12 scale Lauda 312T. After all the work I put into detailing it I couldn’t live with the kits thick windscreen so I sanded it down with a furniture polishing kit that goes up to 12000 grit and polished it.

Interior is pretty much done. Still have to install the tach on top of the dashboard. I shaped a piece of sheet styrene to the curve of the transmission tunnel and used a blob of Tamiya putty as the shifter boot. After it dried I filed, sanded and painted it flat black. The shifter is a piece of aluminum tube flattened and bent.

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the compliment’s. Took care of the hood pins for the trunk lid. The pins that secure the hood are going to be tricky.

That is exceptional. Really beautiful build. I really have to get on of those MFH kits. Thank you for sharing. -
Also made the structure for the tilt front . I tried to mimic the actual support frame from pictures I found online.
-
Progress has been kinda slow. Finally got the chassis where I’m happy with it. Started by cutting off the front frame rails and replacing with styrene strips. Made them a little short but I think I can make it work. I made the transmission cross member from styrene rod and sheet and sprayed with Alclad chrome. I based it on a reference picture I found online

Excellent! That front end looks spot on. My build of this car is also creeping along. I’m constantly having to redo the suspension parts using styrene and other parts with trial and error. Mine definitely won’t look as accurate as yours. Keep up the great work! Have you thought of offering those parts as a trans kit?

Looking good. They’re coming along nice. The Blasphemi decal looks really good. Which engine are you going with in the General Mayhem?

Looks great. You’re doing an excellent job. Definitely following this one. -
Cool Mustang Michelle. My goodness you must have some collection at the rate that you print these models out. Keep it up. They get better every time.
-
Very nice. I can smell the exhaust.
-
Some pictures of the chassis. I could have done a better job with the header collectors but it wss poor planning on my part. I had the rear end in and didn’t want to remove it to fix the exhaust pipes.
-
The dash looked fine to me. Maybe an optical illusion. I posted pics in the Under Glass section and they look okay. I’m out now but I’ll check it when I get home
-
Nice build and diorama. Not one of my favorite Chargers but at least it’s a Shelby.
-
Thank you for the compliment.
-
Thank you!
-
Thank you. One of my favorite models and years too. Grassy ass. Thank you Michelle. Probably the chase scene from the movie Bullet. Great film.

And two with the dog dishes on.

Some shots without the white background.

Finished my 68 Charger R/T Hemi car.
-
Started final assembly. Will post some shots in Under Glass.
-
Thank you for the comments. Will probably drop it a little. Yes the wheels are not perfect but I don’t like the ones I’m finding on ebay. I’ll keep looking but if I don’t find a set I like I’ll just use what I have.
-
Trying to figure out how I’m going to do the front suspension. Mocked up for ride height and wheel gap. Might bring the rear down a little but I think I’m close.
-
Coming along nice. That’s a sweet color. Going to look real nice with the black interior.
-
Those 3D printed parts are going to make all the difference. This should be really good. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
