Spike Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 NEED A PREWIRED DISTRIBUTER WITH RED WIRES ASAP!!!!
Spike Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) got the exhaust done. this was my 1st time makin my own and i think it turned out pretty ###### good Edited April 16, 2008 by moparkid999
Spike Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 got the interior bucket pretty much finished up. painted grey hammer finish with ford engine grey center counsel (closest i could get to the factory interior color) seats,shifter,and fire extingeser mounted the back half is done to. i used the original rear shelf, custom made smooth side panels (he's gonna make his own), and the floor and piece goin from the shelf to the floor is one piece from a 71/2 chevelle interior bucket. i also left the cutouts for the rear wheel wells as they poke through on 1:1s when you pull the backseat
lordairgtar Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Nice work so far. It's really something when you can make a model of an actual car. Nice mods. Ever think of taking a Buick kit and modding it to look like your Chrysler 5th ?
Spike Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 thanks man. still gotta make door panels for it to, just remembered that lol never thought of turnin a GN into a 5th but when the diecast diplomats come out im gonna take one of those and turn it into a 5th like mine, or at least try lol
crispy Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 WOW! Great work. You're really getting that thing done. All looks great right now. Keep going. Chris
Spike Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 thanks chris. right now im basicly stuck where it is. i can make door panels and finish jambing the trunk but im waitin for some parts to come in for the body and im waitin on a distributer n plug wires that i bought for it
Spike Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 got gauges on. not autometer but at least its got gauges lol and i got bored last night and figured id make it look like it was doin a burnout
RodneyBad Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Now your smok'in.. It is looking really dang good. So 1:1 All those little details are really making there marks.. Still can't wait to see it finished. It will look so cool and your Bro should be Dang Proud. If not, Just sent it my way. I'll be Proud to have it

RodneyBad Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) lol thanks zuk. i told my dad earlier while i was paintin it i dunno if im gonna wanna give it back when im done now n then ill see my cuz and when i show him what ive done i think he ###### near pisses his pants i should have another update tomorrow Sorry. (I got lost in the build details) Cuz. It is hard to give away something with so much into it. I have built 2 for my dad.(who has said I should grow out of it(25yrs ago)) one for a X-G/F (never seen it since)man, I loved that Model. But 3 for Me.. (my p/u, Towtruck, and first car (still a WIP tho) The build is the fun part tho. Truly Expiring to do True scale replicating. It Get's the creative juices flowing..
