Brutalform

This is a unique car I recently saw at Carlisle. 64 with a Max wedge, but what is interesting, is the rust and dings are intentional. The rust is painted, and cleared over. Under the hood is show quality, as you can see. Hands down, one of the coolest Mopars I’ve seen.

They both look amazing. I had a hard time telling if they were models or real cars. Yea, those panel lines are a royal pain. The Belvedere l that I just scribed, was a bit nerve racking, to say the least. The lines were almost non existent.

It’s the Jo-Han Kit, with the Lindberg Color Me Gone chassis.

Thanks for the positive replies everyone.

I wasn’t totally sure myself. I would like to build this car, but I would need the grill you used. If I remember correctly, someone said the hide away grill was the one that is supplied in the AMT kit.

Btw, didn’t that kit have hide away headlights? Is that grill from the 70 kit?

Very nice Ford, Michelle. My dad had this car, but it was maroon. I was surprised to see you didn’t build another Mopar. lol Just kidding... I love them all.

Absolutely... a gorgeous build. Love those old Ford big cars.

A top fuel dragster wire isn’t even nearly as large in scale as some of the wires these street engines have.

Sometimes, in many kits, the directions are wrong. Off to a great start. The only two things I don’t like about this kit, is the way the hood fits near the grill, and that the windshield could fit better. Over all, it’s one of my favorite cars, and kits, of all time. I’ve built over a dozen, and plan on a “do over” of the Platt car, that I did years ago. I will definitely be following this build.

Looks fantastic. One of my favorite old cars, from one of my favorite old shows. Zebra three.

Another well done build. Love the color.

I clean the body thoroughly with Dawn and dry. I wipe with a tack cloth. I paint without a shirt on ( bare back). This alone has stopped tiny fibers from getting in the paint. I paint in thin layers, and after every coat, I inspect the paint with my magnifying visor. If there is any thing in the light thin layers, it can easily be removed before the next light coat. This goes for every clear coat also. If you miss a piece or junk or hair or dust, and paint or clear over it... it’s in there. Inspecting and removal as soon as the light coat dries is key. This is all rattle can as I don’t own a air brush.

Very stout looking Olds to hit the strip. Complete with the red inner fender wells. Nice!

Nice clean build. I don’t see many cars that color. You did a fantastic job on it.

The maroon looks great, the interior looks great. Coming along real nice, Jason. I have to pick me up one of these kits real soon.

Still not showing up. The last one I can view is the door panels with the flocking added. Maybe they’ll pop up soon.

Thanks Al... will do. Really looking forward to going. It’s only two hours away from my house.

The chassis is the same Duplicolor as the body. Light Blue Metallic, no clear. Vallejo Air Aluminum brushed on the tank. Tamiya Semi Gloss Black On all other parts, with MM Chrome enamel dry brushed on the black parts.

Pretty much the Lindberg Color Me Gone. The only thing that isn’t Lindberg is the rims from Fireball.

Should a Dana look larger than the one in the Lindberg kit?

Yea, I hear ya, Alan. But it’s way better than that rear Moebius put in the 65 Plymouth kit. That rear looks like it came out of a Subaru. At least it can be cut out easily and replaced. I’m not really up on Mopar stuff like I am on GM. Mostly the drivetrain stuff.

I have a few of those razor saws lying around. I use them for lager miter cuts, or if I’m cutting a chassis to back half a pro street car. But this little one I I’m using is very versatile for small jobs. It’s easy to get into areas like removing the crew posts radiator supports, etc. Oh and by the way GUESS WHOS GOING TO CHRYSLERS AT CARLISLE TOMORROW? This guy. I plan on getting a lot of pics.

Thanks everyone.
