Carl I’ve been having problems painting here with the humidity and i end up with having to do a lot of sanding to get a smooth finish and I end up burning through the paint. The weather has dried up for me and I’ve been able to get my paint and clear coats to stay smooth for me. Here’s my clear coat it just needs a little buffing and then finish it. I can’t believe that I started this one back in 2022.

Thanks Kieth, I was able to buff the Charger out with out burning through and have new decals on order that will be better than the old ones that came in the kit. I had to do another test fit to see how it going to look.

Going to be a cool looking Mack Seth

I was not able to get the shine on the body Iwas looking for with out burning through the paint so this one also has new paint.
-
Thanks Carl

Thanks Mike, with buffing out the body I burn through in many places so I had to repaint and clear coat. I had clear coat over the decal on the hood so I taped it off to repaint but it came off after I painted so I’m ordering some new decals for the hood.

Thanks Stu, so only the lower K-Frame is black and the upper is primer and over spray.. Thanks Nicholas it’s probably going to be at least 2 weeks for me to finish this one. Thanks Brian, it’s going to be a new build for the early 70’s transporter rig and it’s a 71 load from the factory to your local Plymouth/Dodge dealership’s.

Thanks Francis this will finish up my 71s for transporter.

Bill there may of been more than you think remember that was when gas prices were high and the slant 6 was better on gas. I have the interior glued together and test fitting. So far everything looks good but I did trim part of the interior trim around the back side windows. I still have more buffing to do.

Thanks David Thanks Bill, yeah I can see that it would be like a cave sitting back there. I was able to get the wheels done and did some test fitting to see how it’s going to look.

Thanks Gene I’ve decided that I will go with bucket seats and center console. I’m working on buffing out the clear coat and have started on the chassis.

This is the AMT 71 Charger R/T that’s going to be my 8th 1971 Mopar for my transporter project. I’m going with Scale Finishes Dodge Q5 Turquoise that would have been a special order color “999” for this Charger. I’m going with a white interior as well.
