What he said!! ^^^^ ??

?….. that firewall detail…… I quit…..again ?

I still use Testors tube glue for some assembly. But I have learned the uses of CA glue(all consistencies) as well as using Tamiya liquid cement. I only use rattlecans for my paint jobs, but I have tried airbrushing. I used to cut and glue pieces together and not even give mold lines or little nibs a second thought. Now, thanks to advice I’ve received from here, I try to treat each sub-assembly as it’s own separate model. Mold lines get sanded down, each part gets smoothed and primed before paint. I also attach front and rear valance panels permanently before I paint and deal with assembly. Online information and reference availability has made a definite difference in my building from 40 years ago when I started til now. The amount of tools and detail items and accessories that is able to be used is just amazing.

I’m just….WOWED by this build. I actually bought this kit to use the chassis under the GT500 kit but now I’m having second thoughts lol. I may have to purchase another one to build instead of part out. Keep up the great work sir! ??

???…….ok that’s it…….after seeing this build come together I quit ?? Beautiful build sir, I keep going back and look at the pics as the build has progressed and I am absolutely blown away by the level of detail that you have done to this car.

Sorry for your loss sir. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Loving it so far, can’t wait to see it finished!

*jaw drops*…….. ? WOW!!

Love , Love, LOVE this build!!!

Now THAT…. Is a BEAUTIFUL Bird!!

Can’t go wrong with FC7 Plum Crazy Purple/In Violet ?

I just listened to this for the first time in my 50 years. My wife is from upstate New York (Hopewell Junction/Fishkill area) and she confirmed it was a thanksgiving tradition.

Beautiful Mopar!! And I agree with the previous replies about the front fenders.

I used to love watching NHRA on TV when the cars actually resembled what they were supposed to be. Now I have more fun going to my local 1/8th mile drag strip and watching true cars race.

Thank you sir. It hasn’t even been cleared yet. That is Rustoleum gloss black straight out of the can.

Started this kit last year sometime as a “quick build/slump buster”. Had it in my head how I wanted it to look when I was done. Painted the body and did a quick mock-up and then it went back in the box. Over the past year or 2 I’ve lost almost all motivation to build anything, I get to the paint/mock-up stage and it goes back in the box. Drug it out last weekend and decided to go in a totally different direction. First 3 pics are how it sat in the box for a few months and the rest are where it’s at right now.

Great! Thanks! Now I’m gonna have to buy another kit for the wheels ?

Looks awesome so far! What are those wheels from?

I believe that particular kit comes with white and black “C-stripes” for the sides and also red,black, and white tail stripes on the decal sheet

That engine looks amazing! If I may, can I make a tiny suggestion? the bottom edge of the air cleaner needs to be white to represent the paper air filter.

Looks awesome!!! ??

It never looked quite right to me

I found that out too, tried gray primer under white and it made the white look kind of dingy , even after 2 coats. You may be onto something with a thing coat of white primer.

Thank you for that answer sir. That makes sense to me. Sometimes I tend to get either caught up in making progress or impatient and want to see it done like I see it in my head. I’m going to start using your advice on my next build.

Wow!…….just….WOW!! that looks amazing!!!
