Glad you added the flappers...they look great.

That's coming together really nice, I'm liking that short nose and stubby stacks

Thanks for the comments I'm going to try and get some paint on it this weekend.

I painted the front grill with black primer and been working on the front bumper.

Mighty little Dodge. Very nice work Dan.

[72 Charger]

Very tough looking Dan what colours are you thinking?

[Mopar - D]

The cab will be blue metalflake with a tan and ivory interior. I'm hoping to have some blue sprayed on this weekend.

[Mopar - D]

Thanks Gino,

I BMF the Dodge letters before painting and also made some brackets to hold the oil filters and I have the cab in the paint booth drying with the blue paint!

Vey nice progress Dan. I dont think I would have done anything different. It looks great. I saw in the pics that you swapped in the rear springs from the WF dual drive kit. Thats a nice touch. 

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Looking very nice! I don't think that I've ever seen a Luberfiner on each side like that. Nice touch.

Sergey I used model Master GTS Blue Pearl. 

Thank for the support I've decided to cut out the front grill and use this PE mess grill. I used Black BMF on the dash and rubbed off the the black on the gage rings and Dodge emblem. I've got the clear coat drying now. I painted the backs of the head lights before spraying the clear on. 

[SergeB]

Hi Dan!
Excellent color and excellent quality of the painting!
Good idea about the bars. But there is quite a complex pattern on top of the grid. How it will simulate?

[gatorincebu]

 

   Dan,

        your clearcoat looks awesome. I like your dash treatment. And that mesh for the grill should look great.

 

 

 

      Be Well
