Kit Basher Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Amazing work! How did you do the chrome bezels around the guages? They look perfect.
gearhedjon Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Great work! Where did you get the Mopar oil filter decal? Spark plug boots, did you make them or are they from a vendor? I learned to drive in a 68 Charger, I remember the dash being black with vertical lines from the gauges to above the glove box. Is the R/T model suppose to have wood on the dash? Again, your off to a great start
JTRACING Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Thanks! I looked at many pics online, some dashes are aluminum and some have wood grain, I just like the wood look better so I made it that way lol, the oil filter decal comes in the kit, spark plug boots are just some small wire from an old broken radio.the chrome gauge bezels are thin wire I wrapped around a drill bit, attached them with future, then really seal them on with some clearcoat.

diymirage Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 weathering looks greatis it all paint and washes, or did you also use pastels and such?
martinfan5 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Some very nice work so far What did you use for the carpeting ?
JTRACING Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 weathering looks greatis it all paint and washes, or did you also use pastels and such?thanks!, not a fan of washes or pastels, I mainly use craft paints now, and artist oils "neat" from the tube no thinning. This is craft paint over a aluminum base color, layered up different colors and lightly rubbed some off to reveal all the colors.
JTRACING Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 Some very nice work so far What did you use for the carpeting ? thanks, I use embossing powder got the front suspension painted
JTRACING Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) chassis painted, grey with body color overspray, weathering with artist oils. Sealed all with flat clear. i noticed I missed painting a section of fuel line! I'll have touch that up Edited January 2, 2016 by JTRACING
Snake45 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 One of the nicest and most subtle renditions of factory overspray I've ever seen.
crowe-t Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Incredible job on the chassis! The factory overspray is perfectly in scale.BTW, what color gray did you use in the chassis?Is it light gray primer?Do you have a picture before the weathering and overspray was applied?

Sorry I didn't take pics of every stage, I got in the zone lol. I airbrushed the grey on, then airbrushed the front frame black and the same in the rear tire wells, I brush painted the gas tank, Then airbrushed the blue overspray on. clear coated everything and then did my weathering.The grey is craft acrylic, kinda a medium grey color.
