1966 Chrysler 300, Update, 5/1, DONE!!

Steve, that air cleaner may have taken a lot of time, but it's well worth it! Little details like that really make a model stand out.

Thanks Dennis!

My biggest concern was figuring out how I was going to mask that perfect circle.

Especially the "center".

It came out pretty well.

I knew a decal was not really any option without finding someone to make one for me & I really wanted to utilize the original casting if possible anyway.

Awesome detail work, you sure know how to make an old Mopar guy smile

I'm an "old Mopar guy" too Gene.

These old unusual kits sure make me smile working on them.

I think my next one might be a '65 Plymouth Fury hard top.

Either that or a '63 Fury or '62 Dart.

Cant wait to see your next one, a 63 or 65 Fury both would be awesome.  Got both thought here I need to get around too one day

Still hoping to finish this one up before the 1st of May, but the real car has been keeping me busy on the weekends lately, & I don't seem to get a lot done during the week.

Getting close though, & I did manage to finish up the engine this afternoon.

Hopefully I'll get a little more done this evening.

The engine is straight from the box with a little detail added.

For someone that doesn't like building engines you sure build some nice ones Steve.

My same thought

Thanks guys!

I'm relatively confident that I should have this one wrapped up sometime this weekend.

All of the components are done & detailed & ready for final assembly.

Hopefully you can expect it in "under glass" in a few days.

Thanks for all of the interest & kind comments everyone!

Whew!

My goal was to finish this one by the first of May!

I guess I made it.....just barely!

Look for it very soon in the "Under Glass" section.

Thank you all so much who followed me on this build.

You all keep the fire burning in me to complete these kits & I am eternally grateful!
