TTT? Please enlighten me.

That was me thinking about your comment about economically making a whole fleet '68 '69 Chargers. I was kinda liking the idea.

A whole fleet....Hmmm......

Thank you Bill. I printed off you notes to add to my Charger builds when they come up in the queue.

I am from Omaha too though Salem, OR is home now. Welcome to the forum. There will be a lot for you to learn here. There are quite a number of excellent builders. Check out the on the bench (WIP) and under glass sections.

WOW! I am very impressed with mods and detail you are putting into this one. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful result. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. I hope mine turns out half as nice.

Way cool!

Very nice. I should get to my GTO's someday.

Nice paint and beautiful wood bed. How did you detail the tailgate letters?

Nice save. I wish I still had some of my builds from my youth.

Since we have some Charger kit experts tuning in, which of these kits are good, bad or ugly? Opinions welcome. Of my two builts (from long long ago) notice the location of hood pins and/or turn indicators. After opening some of the AMT and MPC unsealed kits, I now see the difference in the spacing of the recesses.

Very nice indeed.

Way cool interior details and beautiful paint!

Very fine result indeed. I recommend you continue to expand your rainbow of E-bodies. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/147689-4-dodge-challengers-batch-built/

Very nice touch with the two tone interior. Beautiful red color too.

Snake, I am of nearly the same opinion as you. I like the folks that are basically well behaved and have fast cars. JJ has grown as a person over the years but the show is hard to watch when I have so little free time. I have TiVo so I fast forward through all the drama until I see tire smoke. Then I know a race is actually going to happen. Some shows are 12 minutes in before the first actual race happens. I could do without JJs commentary to his "harem" after each race. I just saw the race with my own eyes. I know what just happened.

Definitely one to be proud of.

Nice work Tim. Beautiful color.

What he said!

You are so talented and imaginative. I envy your results.

Nice collection. I have been trying to acquire every year from 58 to 70. Still missing the 68 and 69 (rare and expensive). Way cool El Camino conversion BTW.

Where did you get the LED lights? I needs some for my display case.

I have coated a number of models with future. It is a low risk operation. Which it why I like it. These are the two darkest that I have done. My layering process is rattle can enamel over bare styrene. No polishing or wet sanding. (Yes, I often have orange peel). I then apply Bare Metal Foil, then decals, then the bumpers. After the visuals are done, I brush apply future before the windows are installed. Apply it fast and heavy with a 3/8" wide brush. Avoid rebrushing areas that are starting to solidify or it will leave brush strokes. do not worry about any bubbles, they will go away on their own. You can apply it so heavy it runs off of the edges. Simply wick away the excess with paper towels. If you screw up a small area, let it cure overnight. You can wipe it off with tee shirt material soaked in household ammonia with out bothering the paint. Numerous times even. Try that with any other clear top coat. Also do not hold the body with your fingers. Mount it to something you can hold.
