JTRACING

workin on the frame.

finished up the trailer

finally they had this kit at the LHS so i had to start on it! some work started on the trailer.

anything 50's to early 70's. modern engine bays are just plain ugly.

i think they could have chosen a better car to do in big scale.

engine bay complete

great start! nice to see some stuff on your bench!

nice wheels! and the hood closes fine after adding those shock mounts.

thanks all, slow going but added a few more bits. added the carb and fan belt. also a few wires to the wiper motor just some vinyl tube form a motorcycle kit. thin wire for clamps. i robbed them from an amt ford talladega, i didn't need the inner fenders on that one it will be a nascar later on.

hey thanks! I normally add plug boots but I ran out of small black tubing. I left them unglued so can always add some in later for weathering I just coat the engine in brownish mix of artist oil. let it set up a bit, then wipe of most of it and feather it around with a big soft brush.

thought I'd start this amt kit. nice kit highly recommended starting to detail the engine bay not that anyone would notice but for once I made the correct firing order for the plug wires lol body color will be cream.

added in a few smaller grey wires. just made form stretched sprue

body in primer

nice! dash painted up, I just dry brushed the gauges since there not that visible when the dash is installed added "glass" to them with epoxy and also added lenses to the shades the same way

small update. just made "glass lenses" for the headlights to replace the molded in chrome look nothing from the daisy duke kit was use in the engine bay. all super bee @ Monty, I use artist oils for all the weathering.

not sure on a color yet, if I can find a similar blue I may go with it. added in some fuel lines I just use whatever orange I have lol, I always weather everything so the colors change with that.

just a quick check to make sure my air cleaners fit under the hood! lol, luckily the big bulge in the hood gives perfect clearance

engine painted and glued in. next is detailing carbs etc. pretty sure its a 73. other options in the kit are none , but it has a nice decal sheet that includes decals for all available engines. some cool bumper stickers and plates for the dukes of hazard cars

my LHS never has the 71 charger kit so this one is all I had available

love this car. I picked up the daisy duke kit, and will use the chassis from the MPC 1970 super bee. it drops right in likes its made for it! the body is in need of a ton of cleanup oh ya and this baby has got a Hemi

finished this up, Sterling Marlin's 1988 Oldsmobile, used excellent powerslide decals, and added some weathering. I put the antenna on the top corner of the rear window, I think that's where they were back in the day.

very small drop of 5min epoxy.

those are heat shields attached on the valve cover. they have slots in them for the wires to pass through, and other times they just run the wires underneath them.

dashboard painted some '79 vintage reading material and plates
