Alan, Any chance of any Dick Harrell Nova decals?

Yea I'm always drawn to them at the shows when I see them. I built the 70 Hemi Cuda Mod Top and now working on the Dart and have the items to build the 69 Barracuda Mod Top when I get to it.

I have the mod top material in decal but do not recall if it came from Decals by Lucas of Keith Marks.

My next project I started to get ready will be this. Ordered F6 Bright Green paint from Scale Finishes and used half round .040" plastic for vinyl top trim and seams, sanded down seams to be flat. Primed and painted this morning since the hot humid weather has broken in Maryland.

Not sure about wheels and tires though. I was just going to use the redlines and magnum wheels the kit came from but, they look to small to me. I do have a set of AMT Tire Packs Goodyear Polyglas I'm thinking about using instead. Mock up with kit supplied wheels and tires

Got chassis just about completed Engine

Got the bare-metal foil done

Finally got some good time in on this model week. Will try and get pics next couple of days

According to Landy's Dodges book, the 63 car was Mercedes Db-180 Silver. There is a color picture in the book as well

I have seen black engine blocks and blue engine blocks. Does anyone know for sure what color the engine blocks were?

I like it but it needs an early hemi instead of what appears to be a Chevy "W block".

Looks great. Nice save.

Just decided to go with Testors Desert Sand for the interior. Here's a quick mock up.

Need some ideas for interior colors. This was the inspiration for colors but. I've always liked the darker color on bottom for some reason. Body started with Duplicolor Deep Jewel Green pearl and Tamiya PS-60 Pearl Green. Need to clear coat yet. Not sure what color to do interior in. Was originally thinking dark green but now thinking about a light tan. Ideas or suggestions?

Just paid $21.00 for mine at the 2017 NSRA East show

Just got my kit today at the NSRA East show and looks like a great kit. Don't think I will be building it as a replica of Foose's Black truck, will be doing a different color.

Testors has/had in there lacquer paint line a vinyl top base and vinyl top top cost in black and in white. This is how I have been doing my vinyl tops. My father says it doesn't look right but he still does the old masking tape vinyl tops so, I don't know. I like it.

Got the vinyl top painted black with Testors 2 step system and have started the bare metal trim.

Got the body cleared today with Testors Ultra Gloss lacquer. Looks great, sorry didn't get a chance to get a picture. Got the interior sprayed Black today as well.

Went to Keith Marks Decals and seen that his 68 Charger set has the correct Bengal emblems for this car. Ordered a set and now waiting for them. https://public.fotki.com/mofobow/dodge/charger/68-charger-rt/68chargerrtcloseup.html Seen some dirt and a couple spots in the paint that I wasn't happy withso, I grabbed my 2000 grit and wet sanded body and resprayed the 999 Orange. Looks better this time. Now to let it dry a couple days, then some clear. Got the interior sprayed Black today as well.

I like brightly colored cars so, taking advantage of some great weather here in Maryland, got another paint job under way. Back in 1968 a Cincinnati Dodge dealer commissioned Dodge to build 50 special paint Chargers to commemorate the city getting a football team. Decided to try my hand at replicating one these Chargers known as a "Bengal Charger". Order some Orange paint from Scale Finishes and using the main body from Revell 1969 Charger, to have the vinyl top and trim already, and the rest will come from Revell's 1968 Charger kit. Gilled the sude marker lights, primed with Tamiya White Primer and airbrushed the Orange. Need to clear yet and tape and paint the Black vinyl top. Will get some pictures outside when cleared. This thing is so bright. Here's a picture of a real car Model

This what I am after. 1 of 1 export.

Got the body primed and painted. Used Scale Finishes Winchester Gray Poly. Need to clear yet
