  1. I managed to get a couple coats of paint on the body, then it got wet sanded with soapy 2000 grit........ It will get probably two more coats. Just wanted to get a mockup of how this is gonna look. To be honest, I kinda like the "suede" look of this without clear. Thanks for looking.........
  2. I really like this kit, and REALLY like this build...............
  3. So I'm back on this one! Got the body primed, sanded, and cleaned and all ready for paint tomorrow.. that is if we have nice weather...... The second pic is how the color will look I chose for this..... thanks.............
  4. Hey, friend, DupliColor makes a color shift paint.
  5. Thanks a Bunch, Guys! Hey, friend..... The body is done with Model Master Dark Bronze Metallic, and cleared with DupliColor. Also this is the first car I put any wax on, but I didn't really polish it....
  6. Thanks for following this one, Fellas....... It's now under glass
  7. I took all the guts from the '71 Charger and bashed it with a '73/4 MPC Charger to come up with this. Added the vinyl top and rocker trim.... Hope you Guys like it, any and all comments are welcome!!
  8. Thanks, guys, from looking around on the forum and online, it may be Colonial Red that I use. and I can get it in satin, which is nice......... Thanks again!
  9. Steely Dan was just in Raleigh, NC a couple years ago........ Really wish I could have gone. I've had the same lyrics in my signature since I joined here, have been a fan since I was a teen and had discovered one of their albums, the one with "Show Biz Kids" on it...
  10. Thanks for the replies, Guys...... I was just looking at images of oxblood interiors, and that is about the color I would need. Does anyone make an oxblood color that's non-metallic? I've found some paints close in color, but they were metallic.......
  11. Hey, Fellas, I need a dark red/crimson color that's non-metallic to do my next project's interior with. I'll be painting the body either a deep blue or a dark gray. The paint needs to be in a spray can. Anyone have an example of an interior they've done with this color? Pics would be awesome....... Thanks for any help!
  12. Here's my girl Callie almost 6 months after my adopting her...... but Ducks have bills, Wrens have a Beak!
  13. I like the p1800 a LOT..... It's hard to replicate the sportiness of the original one!
  14. Man, That's pretty..... Lots of effort there, and it really shows.......
  15. Final mockup just to see how it's gonna look........... I think the old man will be pleased...........
  16. Once the clear cures, I may go over it with some Scratch-X to try to bring out the shine better.....All that's left is to paint the interior, vinyl top, and do some foil work....... Then comes final assembly!
  17. I wanted to go ahead and clear while we're having such nice weather here......
  18. Put the color coats on today! This paint is really pretty until it dries, looks kinda muddy now......... The clear will bring the shine back..... Thanks again for viewing.........
  19. I found a new band, called The Sheepdogs...... They have a song called "Sharp Sound" that's pretty good.
  20. Here's the vinyl top trimmed out..... First time doing this. Kinda glue-bombed it a little. Almost ready for some color coats! Thanks for checking it out..............
  21. If you're a steak guy, you need to go to Food Lion and pick up some Ribeyes marinated in Montreal season. They come in a pack of two, and there's no blood in them, it's all marinade, so there's no need to over cook them. I cut out pork pretty much completely, and my blood pressure reflects that..........
  22. Hey, Doug! I cut the inner fenders from the '71 from the top using my trusty Trumpeter scriber...... Nifty little tool....
  23. Still working on this one! I need some help, tho..... The interior paint just will not cover the orange, so I've put a wanted post in the proper forum for the parts I need in either gray or white. Will have some more progress on this one soon.
  24. Hey, Alix..... I didn't chop the top, this kit has a chopped top already. I just put weld seams where it would have been put back together on the 1:1 (at least I HOPE they are where they should be!)
  25. Hey, Guys...... I'm still curious about the 1/16 906 from Entex/Bandai........ It says on the box that it's full detail, I'm just wondering if anyone has seen one in person? or maybe seen one online somewhere with a review of the kit? This would be an excellent gift to get myself for my upcoming birthday, I think..............
