Mopar - D

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.

Nice project Kari I like how your using what you to work with to build this Chevy.

Nice progress Pat looking good.

Built the engine and added the spark plug wires and still working on the buffing of the clear coat.

Thanks Stu for the underside picture of the Superbird. I’m going to keep your picture for my future builds.

Worked on the front grill and still buffing out ther clear.

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.

Test fitting completed interior. Still have to finish buffing out the clear coat.

Thanks Carl.

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.

I’m working on buffing out the clear coat and started working on the chassis.

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.

Thanks DJ for sharing the link with the article on a rare Barracuda.

Thanks John, I also found this on Hamtramck indicating the colors for the different models. https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/paintChipCharts/_1971PaintChipCharts-01.shtml?load_img=2 Thanks Guido Thanks Eric Thanks John. I’m going to try and get some time to clear coat today seeing how we have a nice day. Thanks Curtis Thanks Rich

Thanks German Thanks Bill, with this being a special owner ordered Barracuda and based on what Jens has said this is a very rare build but possible. Thanks Jens, I appreciate your feedback information.

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.

Was able to get a day off and have the weather where I could spray paint. This is Scale Finishes E7 Burgundy.

John this Barracuda came out looking nice.

This week’s progress I built up the engine and wired the plugs and started painting the interior. I’ve decided to go with the magnum wheels. I’m also going with the split bench seat.

John nice work on the 69 Barracuda and thanks for sharing your information with using the Duster chassis. I have a 67 & 69 in my stash and I now need to get 2 more Duster kits from Hobby Lobby.

SSteve awesome build on your 60 Fury wagon. Thanks for sharing your work I have one of these in my stash and now I’m going to have to buy another 57 Chrysler 300 lol I like adding the engine bay details on the JoHan kits.

Nice collection of Mustangs John.
