Thanks for the update, Jeff! I'll watch for it.

A mock up to see where I am at. Some touchups this morning and rear spoiler assembly. The instructions don't call out the rear spoiler assembly so I had to guess where the stanchions assembled which way. Looks like I have it.

I have finished my '69 GTX. This is suppose to represent a "Day 2" car with Cragar SS mags and a different paint job as seen in the last picture.

Thanks David! I saw someone else's Torino in this color and it does look similar to the color I want and I happen to like orange!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate the nice words about the Demon!

Since one of my current projects, the AMT '69 Plymouth GTX is almost done, it is time to start on a new one. This time it is the AMT '21 Ford Bronco First Edition. My plan is to paint the body with Tamiya TS-92 Metallic Orange with a black roof and a black interior. I am a little upset with the fact that this is only a 2 door and not a 4 door since most of the new Broncos around here are 4 doors and not 2 doors SUVs.

I just finished adding some more chrome parts to the GTX. The rear bumper, right rear taillight and the exhaust tips. Next is the side view mirrors and touchups and some cleaning of the model then it is ready for the model shelf.

Thanks David, Jeff and Carl! The inner fenders should fit a Chevelle as they are both the same GM product. Or, you can paint the Chevelle inner fenders red. It would save you from dismantling the Chevelle front end completely.

Thank you Larry and Mario! This was a rush job as I wanted to challenge myself on a fast build. I think I could have done better, but it is what it is! Thank you again!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate it!

I painted more parts for the 442 today! Need some touchups and movin' on. Hey, that's a neat country song! Movin' On!

Thanks Carl! It figures! After all of the issues with paint, this GTX is fighting me! I have polished the body and hood and trying to assemble the car, but parts keep on falling off. Time to walk away from this!

I have finished my '71 Demon 340 and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to view and to comment on my WIP.

Painted with Model Master Hemi Orange with two coats of Model Master Ultra Gloss Clearcoat, Cragar SS mags, semi gloss black interior and a wired engine.

Thanks Topher! I'll do some touchups and then it will be time for clearcoat.

I repainted the GTX with a different color since I didn't have enough paint left over from the previous paint job. Looks better than the first paint job! Now to repaint the rest of the cowl and the engine compartment.

Thank you Charlie and Eric! Go for it Charlie!

I wish you much luck with yours! I worked on the Jag Coupe today and in the hour I had, I got some done. Firewall is in, steering is done, much painting is done, rear suspension is complete and the exhaust system is on.

Thanks Ken!

Rich, the color is Model Master Hemi Orange Lacquer. The decals are on with a lot of setting solution. Thanks Rick, David and Carl! 1971 Dodge Demon 340 I have finished the chassis and the interior. I should have painted the wood grain on the dash and then used the individual decals in place of the entire decal strip. The body is next!

I painted my missing parts and I decal the dash, but the decal didn't settle into the dash like I hope it would. The speedo and gauges were too tall and I used a lot of setting solution just to get the decal were it is. I have seen pics of one, but I have never actually seen a manual shifter with a console on an A body car.

Thanks Carl! I did some work on the Jag XK-E this afternoon. I installed the rear axle and suspension uprights. Then I installed the drive shaft and the engine. Some time ago, I ordered some parts due to a short shot or lack of a formed part and I received them fairly quickly. I noticed that the torsion bars (I think that's what they are) seemed to have suffered the same thing. I'll either leave them as is or maybe replace them with a similar size sprue.

I got the 3.8 Litre Straight Six Engine wired. I started on painting some of the many parts that require more than one color of paint. This is going to take a while!

The chassis is almost complete. I usually forget to paint the side view mirrors, but not this time. I forgot the rear bulkhead, core support and the front valance. Bummer! Out comes the paint and primer.

Thanks Kyle, Guido, Carl and Dann!
