Thanks Steve! Please feel free to ask any questions about anything I do that you may be unsure of. I'll try to explain it better to you.

Thanks Nick!

Thanks Kevin! I finished foiling the '68 Charger R/T. More Charger R/T to come...

I started to foil the Charger R/T today. I still have to foil the wheel opening mouldings, then I'll be done. More Charger R/T to come...

I foiled the Satellite yesterday. This is not one of my better jobs as this foil must be getting old and losing it's adhesive. I have Microscale Metal Foil Adhesive that I used for the second time, but I had breaks and small spaces that needed to be covered. I used my Molotow Liquid Chrome Pen to cover the spots.

Welcome Benny! What part of New Hampshire are you in? I'm from Nashua born and raised.

I had painted the air cleaner top with Model Master Hugger Orange and then I added 3 coats of Model Master Ultra Gloss clearcoat. The air cleaner base was repainted with Model Master Flat Black and will get a coat of Model Master Semi Gloss Clear. More Hemi Satellite to come...

Thank you Anders! The more I look at these pictures, the more I want to fix some of the flaws that I see.

I built the '72 Sport Custom pickup and have the '71 Ranger waiting in the stash. Both cabs were warped. I contacted Moebius and the replaced one cab that they thought was the worst of the two, but not both of them. I inserted the front windshield in the cab for the '71 Ranger and the windshield is taking the warp out. I found out from others that the way they packed the boxes produced the warp. Moebius wouldn't say the warpage was their fault. Moebius really needs to use bigger boxes to help prevent any damage.

Thank you Larry and Jim!

I reglued the dog house together after cleaning up the glue joints again and I let the dog house set up completely overnight. This afternoon, I superglued the brake backing plates to the front wheels and glued them to the uprights without any spindles. The stance looks okay, but I would like it lower. At any rate, the front end is on and I'm fairly happy with the result. And, for the first time since I painted the body, I got a shot of the model with the hood on. The decals on the air cleaner needed some touchups and when I added some clearcoat, the ink ran. The air cleaner has been stripped and repainted and drying in the paintbooth.

I started adding the wheels and tires to the chassis by modifying the suspension. Then the dog house started giving me problems by coming apart. I modified the head pipes for the exhaust system mounted to the headers. Now I need to figure out where to mount the spindles for the front suspension. More Satellite to come...

I finished wiring the Hemi that was in the kit. More Charger R/T to come...

Thanks Kevin! I may have a solution for lowering the suspension on this Moebius Satellite. We shall see...

Thank you David, James and Chris!

Thanks David! Painting can be my friend or my nemesis. I'll keep running that play until I get it right...

Thanks Jeff! Now to figure out how to lower the front and rear suspensions. Even with the front spindles inverted, the front is still too high.

The chassis and interior are done with the exception of a couple of small items. I mocked up the chassis with the engine bay and the wheels and tires. I will need to modify the exhaust system to fit the headers. More Satellite to come...

Thank you guys! This was one of those builds that I just had to do back then.

I have been putting off painting the '65 Satellite. Probably due to fear of messing it up...badly! I went and painted the body and hood with Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue and it looks really good. Very, very little trash in the paint...which is a good thing! I went and painted the interior floor of the chassis pan. With paint over the embossing powder, this looks pretty good.

Thanks for the nice words, John! I just turned 67 and I am grateful I'm able to still enjoy this hobby even if I am dropping more parts than usual.

Some more work has been done on the Hemi Satellite. The dash has been assembled and detailed. I installed the exhaust system on the chassis, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself since I want to add embossing powder to the other side of the chassis pan. I wired the 426 Hemi for my '68 Charger R/T, but will have to wait a bit for the glue to set up on the Satellite 426 Hemi before I run the wires to the cylinders. I figured why not do both at once until the distributor cap on the Satellite 426 Hemi decided to come loose. More Satellite to come...

I had finished this build several years ago and I thought I would bring it back out again. I wanted a base Coronet R/T with a 440 CID 4-bbl. V8, 4-speed transmission, steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps.

I've been painting today and I'm not done yet! There are a lot of parts to this kit. I still have to add the dark blue paint to the seat inserts, detail paint the dash, semi gloss the gloss parts since I ran out of Tamiya Semi Gloss Black paint and add embossing powder to the interior floor and paint that with Dupli-Color Light Metallic Blue. Oh, and assemble the darn thing! I still have a ways to go... More Satellite to come...

Thanks Dave!
