I went back and forth on the interior. Actually painted it like 5 or 6 times, all orange , orange and white, a couple different tans ( even a 2 tone tan ) Finally settled on the orange and black and I think it fits the car quite well. Same here I wanted POP and not the same old same old. The dash is actually painted with Testors Fiery Orange which is a slightly different shade than the body and not the same as the seat inserts just to give the interior a little bit of flare .

I like it. And have one on order as well as the Owens Twin

I did finish it yesterday but due to the actual Halloween ,,,,I couldn't take pics till this morning . Anyway ,,,,,, after a few minor setbacks and outside of a few very minor touch ups this one is done and headed to the case. I picked it up at Ollies a few weeks back and decided I needed to build one,,just for something different . Built almost 100% box stock , , Kit comes with wide whites,,,and I used them on another build . So I decided to substitute some parts box tires on the front. Painted Testors Flaming orange which is a real heavy metallic . with multiple coats of wet look clear that just shines. No polishing needed . Interior is Testors orange with Duplicolor semi gloss black . I cant decide if I want to do the BMF to the rocker trim or not,,,so for now it stays orange. If I had been thinking ahead of time I would have sanded it off like I did the rest of the trim and emblems. I like the roof in all orange so there will be no trim highlighted on it. Thanks for looking and comments good or bad more than welcome.

When I did mine many years ago. ( its an old R+R Resin body on a Johan kit ) I taped it off and painted all the blue . I think I used Testors dark blue enamel (non metallic )

WOW Love it

The slicks on these Lindberg kits are not correct for a true 64 SS car. Let me ck I 'MIGHT ' have an extra Johan set I can spare. Or your best bet is Speed City Resin as mentioned. As far as the red color, ?????? I'm still looking as well. I have the same car in process( body is already painted in white ) I'm thinking I may mask it off and just airbrush some clear red over the white and call it good

Ok, Messing with this one for a bit between games. Decided to see how a 2 tone dash would look. Opinions , Yes , No, Maybe ? Steering wheel will be detailed with silvers spokes and I'll do the embossing powder trick for carpet Already decided I didn't like all orange. and doubt I'll like all black . Handle for the pass side cove will be done with bare metal foil

Tried them once. That was all it took. Now they just go in the trash can

i want the correct hood with the correct six pack style scoop that was on the originl sox and martin cuda. If harts parts is my only option...ill make my own

Thanks all. I had actually stumbled on the pic of the 1/1 car before I bought the model. So when the model was released I just had to have it . I just wish my photographic skills were good enough to capture the true color I see in person. It looks killer in my case Especially the outside sunlight pics REALLY make the metallic look so much bigger than it does in person

I think I've seen this picture before and thought i read it was a photoshop

Cool. I might have to pick one of these up ,,,just to set in my case as contrast.

Sorry....but I respectively dis-agree. He obviously had no trouble taking customers money for orders. If he got overwhelmed he should have cut it off until a reasonable time till to fill orders could be achieved. Taking in excess of 90 days to fill orders is un-acceptable. If he was providing a service as opposed to a product. I would be more understanding...but he's not. That said ,,,,had it been mentioned up front it MIGHT take in excess of 30 , 60 , 90 days to fill said order is another story. But my understanding is it wasn't .

Few more These last 2 probably are the best to show the true color And Yes, I know I'm missing the air cleaners. ( oddly enough they are molded in white plastic and NOT on the chrome tree ) Need to figure out to make them look like chrome instead of painted plastic . And the kit doesnt have an upper radiator hose either.

Started this one a few months back. Painted it back in September I think. Along they way I had some issues I had to decide if I was going to correct or not ( decided to leave them as is and finish it ) I'm not 100% happy with how the paint layed down. Its the recent Round2 reissue in the large flat box , molded in white. Built 100% box stock . ( I tend to loose interest if I go hog crazy with details ) I actually dug out and blew the dust off my airbrush to do this one. Painted with a base coat of Light Iris metallic I had mixed locally , then topped it with 3 coats Upol rattle can urethane clear . After a few days using my sanding pads and rubbing compounds Went to work on it tosee if I could make it where I was happy with it. And I get it to look pretty slick. Interior is simple semi gloss black from Sems with some silver and wood grain details brush painted . Chassis and engine compartment are Duplicolor semi gloss black . Engine is dupli-color Pontiac engine blue enamel. Comments good or bad more then welcome. Thanks for looking in

Anyone know of a quality hood to correctly replicates the six pack hood on the 1970 Sox and Martin Cuda. The kit version doesn't do it for me . Or am I going to have to make my own

I would rather not do any spray painting at any temps where I need a coat on to do so. Its why I do all my spray painting bodies in the fall when its upper sixties - low seventies with low humidity. On average I'll paint maybe a half dozen or more cars for the winter bench time ( I get very little modeling time during spring / summer months ) I've got 3 painted now and have ideas on 2 more If I have to do any spray painting the winter, such as maybe an interior or chassis ,I'll step out in the garage then head to the laundry room downstairs to let it dry.

Thanks Steve, I had to add some blocks to raise the rear end up a touch as it sat far to low in the rear. But here is some final mockup pics. Engine is painted and goes in today maybe. Then its button up a few details and I should finally have it done this weekend . I'm so glad I picked this color. It looks exactly what I had in my inspiration picture . Thanks for looking in

Not my usual era of interest. But this looks killer. I might even have to pick one up for myself

Just about have the interior wrapped up. . Decided to forgo the embossing powder / carpet trick. with it being black and in a hardtop you cant see it once its all together. Doing all the bare metal foil work on the door panels was not fun btw

i've seen a few Mopar B bodies with the inner fenders removed but they were cars with a fiberglass front end. With no inner fenders there nothing to bolt the exterior fender to

Cool. I dont think ive ever seen one of these built

NOW we're talking. Bring on the big boats

Cool. Have one ordered thru my LHS
