jbattersby Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Now that the Mercedes is finished I can devote more time to finishing the Challenger I started back in November. At this point the interior and chassis is already finished, I'm currently working on the body to fix any problems and get it painted. This is a box-stock build, the color's are inspired by the 2013 Kia Provo Concept Car. Enjoy!
mustang1989 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Looks like you're up to some great building here Jason. The photography is equally as good.

All I did for the grill was paint it matte black, and I used a Silver Paint Marker to paint the Chrome around the grill. Hope that helps!
moparfarmer Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I hope when you do the body you mold the front pan in and rescribe proper lines..Looking good so far...

jbattersby Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 Finally an update on my Challenger. I spent the weekend wet-sanding the primer, and during the week I sprayed the Body in Zero Paint's Titanium Silver. The roof and shaker hood scoop are done also in Zero Paints Orange. Hopefully I can clear coat everything this weekend and finally assemble the model before the Christmas holidays. Enjoy!

426-Hemi Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Thanks for sending that Jason! I'll be having a look! -Any comments from me will be posted there.... Unless questions, I'll ask those here!
426-Hemi Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 On your Charger build, I seen that you re-chromed the whole lot, question is that grille man that looks KILLER, besides the Alclad chrome what else (if anything) did you do to it to get it to look like that!? That has to be thee best '69 Charger grille for a model I've seen yet!!!!!

That has to be thee best '69 Charger grille for a model I've seen yet!!!!!I didn't do anything special, its just the regular Alclad over gloss black. I didn't clear coat my chrome parts, I find they look quite good with just the Aclad. Glad you like it!
426-Hemi Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Well it turned out GREAT! (I too use Alclad Chrome over gloss back), but man 'o man that turned out SWEET!
