mademan Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Well Ive wanted to do another Modern Muscle car for a while, and Clearly scale is determined to take all of my money, so using their parts ( 6.4 Hemi supercharged, and ACR hood) I am going to build one. I was going to use scale finishes snakeskin green, but I decided to try out SPaz Stix Kandy apple green, sprayed over Dupli-color Dodge magnesium pearl, and I really like how it turned out.( no clear yet)Â I plan to use Scale Productions Foose Nitrous II wheels also, but with a wider rear than they provide.

GTJUNIOR Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Paint looks fabulous. Keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I like the green, bet it would be a really bright antifreeze shade using a pearl yellow for a base.Now you've teased us, where's some shots of that engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOPARmaniac Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Looks good enough to eat right now. Can't wait to see that engine, What color are you going to paint it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Rider Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I love the color. Â I have looked at the Clearly Scale parts and they seem very nice. Â I would like to know your opinion on the fit and finish if you wouldn't mind. Â I look forward to more. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Love the green. Is the paint really as green as it looks in some of the shots, or more dark silver like the hood shot?Or is the hood just the Duplicolor "magnesium pearl' before the topcoat of Spaz Stix green?

mademan Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Looks great Mike, love the colours!! I got several more Challenger parts almost ready to add to catalog You just tell me when they are ready and ill put another order in, haha I cant get enough of your stuff, its just so clean! Love the green. Is the paint really as green as it looks in some of the shots, or more dark silver like the hood shot? Or is the hood just the Duplicolor "magnesium pearl' before the topcoat of Spaz Stix green? Its a really deep green, Ill try and capture it outside tomorrow with a good camera, I used the magnesium pearl as a base, and shot the spaz stix Kandy Apple green right over top. It layed down really nice. The hood is just dupli-color flat black at the moment, I was going to paint it green also, but I think im gonna just leave it black for that oldschool look.

mademan Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) I love the color.  I have looked at the Clearly Scale parts and they seem very nice.  I would like to know your opinion on the fit and finish if you wouldn't mind.  I look forward to more. Thanks, SteveTo tell you the truth, ive got 10 of their engine kits/ transmissions, and 4 of the challenger hoods and I can honestly say ive never worked with resin aftermarket engines this clean, fit is perfect right out of the bag.Looks good enough to eat right now. Can't wait to see that engine, What color are you going to paint it? Im thinking I may go with aluminum/billet for the block/heads and satin black on the charger.

mademan Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) the next one I do is going to be this new resin body, with the supercharged 6.4 and the other Ram air hood that Clearly Scale offers, probably in Plum Crazy Edited December 17, 2015 by mademan add photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 That color on that body looks awesome, and i really like the viper style hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) That body color is fantastic. Looks a lot like the early 70's KJ6 (I believe) Avocado Gold. I have been wanting to do a body in that color. Now I know exactly what I need to replicate it! Thanks.Later- Edited December 17, 2015 by Modlbldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOPARmaniac Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Nice idea for the next challenger, Plum Crazy is one of my favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademan Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Thanks for the comments. Here are a couple of pics taken with my Camera instead of phone. Also some pics of the heart of the beast. I painted the block and heads in billet silver, and started detailing; Also a pic of the Tremec T56 6spd. I will be using Scale Productions Foose Nitrous II wheels for this build, which were painted an anthracite metallic w/ machined barrels. I also included a pic of my building partner my Rescue Pit, Rita DeVille. She always curls up at my feet while I build. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
