I spent some time this week on the interior , the MPC interior lacks any molded in detail so I just did some quick painting . The dash and steering wheel are from the Charger kit .

One of the most impressive builds I've seen in a long time ! Simply beautiful !

Man that's Green! Beautifully detailed and a really great looking Cutlass !

Here's a better pic after some more wash and without the reflection .

Looks like you've overcome some issues and it's looking really great ! Good job fitting the front bumper !

Very well done Randy , beautiful Cougar !

Beautiful ! Both of them !

UPDATE 11-9-20 I purchased the Roadrunner Grille Insert from Greg Wann , they are really nice and Greg is a great guy to deal with ! The inserts are designed to fit the Monogram 1/24 scale grilles so I had intended to modify one of those to fit the 1/25 body , but then realized to was much easier to fit the insert to the MPC grille . The plan is to file a recess in the MPC grille . The insert was carefully located then some CA glue was used to attach it permanently . A little trimming and it's done . I painted the grille Dark Argent with a black wash and Light Argent was used to accent the headlight openings . The Roadrunner was a real pain and took two tries to get it decent . Next I mixed a dab of white with some clear and painted the molded headlight lenses . And here's the finished grille ! The overhead light is reflecting off the paint , it's actually much darker than in the photo .

Man that looks really nice !! Lighting is probably the hardest part when taking photos of models , I think what you have there looks great !

Those look really nice ad the best thing is they don't need a lot of space to display !

Those colors are going to look great !

Thanks Carl ! Thanks ! Thanks much Dann !

Looks pretty good to me , nice job ! I've built a couple Metal Earth airplanes and you're right the metal is pretty thick , I bought a couple pair of small flat nose pliers to bend them .

Really nice work so far and your modifications look great ! Too bad about the hood , I'm sure you'll figure it out .

Nice save Ray ! I like that True Blue color , may have to pick up a can .

Thanks very much everybody ! Getting busy here so there may not be any updates for a while .

Finished Engine . To be continued . . .

Finally had some time yesterday to get a bit more done on the engine . Lower alternator bracket was added , and I modified a Chevy fuel pump to resemble a Mopar pump and added fuel line made from solder . Also made a fuel filter out of styrene rod . Oil filter glued in place and I added a dipstick . I modified the air cleaner housing by opening up the snorkels , adding vacuum lines , and I added the hose to the valve cover breather . Here's the housing decal artwork I created a while ago . It lost a little resolution when reduced but still looks pretty good . And the finished housing . It still needs coat of clear .

Thanks Mark !

Thanks ! Thanks Rooster ! Thanks Carl !

Well done ! The Powder Blue is a nice change and looks great , also nice job on converting the grille !

Sharp lookin Coronet John ! Interior and engine detailing is excellent and it surprises me that I really like the green paint , great job !

Many have tried and failed including me but you have succeeded in building an Orange Crate worthy of winning "America's Best Competion Car" at the 1963 Oakland Roadster Show ! Very very well done !!!!

Now that's a gorgeous convertible , well done !

Beautiful work as usual , love the colors !
