Very cool , it turned out great !

Thanks Gareth ! The last couple of times I did parking brake cables they were just a couple of wires glued in place . I did attempt to make some brackets but not successfully , this time with my new glasses and a magnifying lamp it was quite a bit easier ! It was still a challenge that took all week but most of the time was spent looking for correct size wires and figuring out how to make the hardware . Here's the finished chassis . The front subframe , exhaust , and driveshaft are held temporarily with tacky glue so they can removed for the engine installation during final assembly .

Looks excellent , great job !

Those are great ! I'd love to have that '68 !

Beautiful Charger Tim , love that color !

Man I love that color !! Great looking '32 Jim !

Instead of replying to all your posts I'll say it all here . . . Such a great project and I've enjoyed watching your progress building the cars from the 50's , the greatest decade for style and design innovations ! Excellent job ! I'm a bit surprised that "56 is the only year you've completed , I would have bet you finished more .

Thanks much Claude , actually not that much time at all ! It would have taken me just as long trying to paint the molded-in lines , do touch-up , paint some more , more touch-up , more paint , etc . . .

Thanks much Francis ! I thought I did too much overspray but maybe it will look okay when finished .

Thanks David ! Like I said it's not very powerful but will do small tasks , be sure to trash the Chinese batteries that come with it and by some good AAA batteries . I did the whole floorpan with just one pair of Duracell batteries .

I'm going to make my own fuel and brake lines so the molded in ones on the underbody needed to be removed . I used a cheap little grinder from Harbor Freight to do this , it's not very powerful and won't do any major grinding but it's perfect for this ! The primer helps me see what I'm doing . Primed and with the front subframe and rear suspension set in place . I used .015" and .022" diameter solder to form the brake and fuel lines . Clamps were cut from a thin strip of aluminum tape and held in place with a small dab of CA glue . The front subframe won't be glued in place until final assembly . I need to figure out the parking brake cables then I can install the rear suspension .

Thanks much Anton !

Thanks Carl !

That's a really sharp looking color !

Your paint looks great , looking forward to seeing some more progress !

Thanks much Dave ! The Charger parts turned out to be a much easier upgrade than I thought , working on the underbody now and should have some pics soon . As for color I almost went with a blue/white like yours but settled on Y8 Gold Leaf Poly . It's not your usual Roadrunner color and is a bit classier looking , should have the paint tomorrow !

Thanks David ! Thanks Roger !

Excellent body work Roger ! I think the Red Brown paint will look sharp when your finished !

Thanks !

After going through all of the Boss photos I'm looking forward to seeing more of your build !

Looks even better with the decals , beautifully done ! Just shows you don't need to spend $$$ on aftermarket parts to have a super model , great job !

That's a real beauty ! Your mods really make a difference , great work !

Glad to see you finally built a Miss Deal , great job ! Not sure why your paint didn't turn out like it should have , looks more like oil drops instead of swirled paint , still it is pretty cool looking !

The A/C vents were pretty shallow and were easily filled with acrylic paint , no sanding needed .

Thanks ! The dash and console are actually decals , the gauge cluster and steering wheel are painted .
