Sharp looking Nova

Thanks but stripes alone doesnt help me.

The actual car it replicates I plan to do his 6pack RT/SE Challenger as well someday

Another one done And other than a light waxing . I'm calling it done...for now Other than tires...it's built box stock A replica of a friend's car..although his car . Is a console auto. The kit is 4spd But for me....it's close enough Testors K2 vitamin C orange.( body was rattle canned maybe 8-10 years ago I think.) Duplicolor semi gloss blk for the interior Duplicolor hemi orange engine enamel for the HEMI Comments good or bad...more than welcome. It's good to be retired and have lots of bench time avail.

I would take all the upper blue sections Or just the one by my finger

Anyon used the chassis components from the Revell 68-69 Chargers under the mpc 1968 Coronet bodies yet ? Any issues using it? I don't have any of the amt ertl chassis left over

Thanks I have the parts kits. The are 4 of each size But really don't have much use for that many of the L60 sizes

Yes. Just the roof section is all I need. Just Let me know

Best I remember. the 60s era stock cars just used a widened stock steel wheel The Johan Petty Superbird and/or 64 Plymouth has some good ones in it maybe take a look at the rims in the Lindberg Petty Plymouth I might have some if you need just the wheels

Revell 1970 Cuda kit. Final body to chassis fit. Getting close now If all goes well. I'll have it finished this week maybe.

Mine has a mark on the roof section of the sheet . so really only need that piece I know , Its a long shot . But have to try

In the past Ive used thinned enamel paint. But the only place around here sells testors enamels is Hobby lobby, and its Not convenient to get to as its the complete opposite side of town from me I just bought a bottle of the Tamiya black for grill work , and I like it. Its extremely thin so it flows out nice

Interior is done. Nothing spectacular. Rattle can krylon satin blk Various details picked out with a 1mm chrome pen Grill is done..and came out WAY better than I expected. Brush painted with testors burnt metal metalized. Very lightly fogged with a bright silver from about 2ft away Tamiya panel line accent flowed in the grill bars to highlight them. A touch of clear yellow on the back of the turn signal lenses to simulate the yellow bulbs in the 1/1 car ( I really like how Revell did the head lights on this kit btw ) Then just run a 2mm chrome pen on the outer edge to simulate the chrome mldg on a real one

Well done, The cougar kits can be quite a handfull to get them to sit right

Dash / instrument panel done. I ended up just painting the woodgrain as I could not get the decal to stick Gauges glued in from backside. With clear Elmer's glue on the ft side / faces to give it a clear lense look. Again..thanks all for looking.

My 2cents here But a quick cursory view Engines from the era used a 4 bolt valve cover thus have a slightly different shape than later 6 bolt models In you file pic it has holleys - not avail in that period , should be carter AFBs Air cleaners should have a defined flat back edge and nearly touch each other in the 1/1

Define ' Classic ' For me personally, My numero uno is a 1961 Chrysler 300 convertible

WOW< Just doesnt seem to be enough. But , WOW is all I got. Impressive sir

The kits center clutch is chrome, I just dabbed some clear yellow on it to give it a kinda sorta factory look

Wheels and tires done. Tamiya flat aluminum rims with a light coat of testors burnt metal for the centers Engine done. Painted with duplicolor hemi orange Engine enamel..built box stock. Chrome Valve covers stripped and sprayed with duplicolor black wrinkle paint. Overall just detailed with various shades of paint

Body was already painted. I didnt catch the wide flares in time

Thanks. I have the remains of the sheet for the Charger . Plus I have an extra sheet from the Revel Landy SS Dart kit and I will most likely use it for the upper Blue/Red body color stripes The darts side red color decal has a slightly different shape than the Coronet would require. So probably will have to paint the red side panels

This is another kit that was painted years ago . then boxed up for one unknown reason or another From the beginning it was Slated to be a replica of a long time friends actual car . 1/1 is real deal Hemi auto , 4.10 Dana car Only deviation planned from box stock will be AMT pad printed Polyglas tires, in F60+ L60 15s like the 1/1 car has . Kit builds as a 4spd. The actual car is auto. But not likely I will change that in the build . Jury is still out on that Painted K2 Testors GoMango / Vitamin C with black interior to match the 1/1 It has some scuffs in the paint , luckily I still have the Testors can and hopefully It sprays out well enough to repaint the body and hood. Fingers crossed on that. If not maybe I can decant it and break in my new to me airbrush I got for Christmas. If not, I will have to look at other avenues for paint. If anyone has hints or tips with any known issues with this kit. Let me know
