Glenn Tooley Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I am still trying to decide paint/interior colours. Should i go high-impact, or use a softer colour? Chassis is almost done, just finishing up the 440 six-pack I am using the better, wider wheels and tires from the older Revell 'Cuda kit Front and rear spoilers are being used, but i am using a slightly bigger deck spoiler from an old AMT kit Edited May 7, 2016 by Glenn Tooley finally! paint!!

Speedfreak Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Did they have a high impact blue for this year? I never see these cars in blue. I found this online, it's not high impact but looks good with the black striping/accents, I think it might be 'Lucerne blue? Not sure.

Glenn Tooley Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have considered several shades of Mopar blues....looks good for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I love it; I'll be starting one soon myself. Where did that hood come from? My kit (Monogram) only has the grabber hood. Also, was your front end piece a really lousy fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Tooley Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Well, back in the '80s Monogram made this kit minus the GTX emblems, And this was the hood feom that kit. I found a built up kit on ebay yearsAgo for cheap, so i grabbed it just for the hood. My lower front end piece seems to fit okay, but it willRequire some body filler I think.

My kit had a terribly misaligned lower front piece, requiring several applications of filler and CA. I guess I'll just stick with the grabber hood on mine then.

Glenn Tooley Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Something i did, you may want to do too....i dropped the front spindles. The stock heightis just a bit too high for me, so i took my saw blade on my exacto knife and cut them off, flas as possible, and re-glued them higher in between the a-arms. This trick worked great, and it really looks alot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'll certainly keep in mind, Glenn, so thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95neon Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have 3 of these kits, I just did one in "lemon twist" yellow/ black interior which really looks sharp, but they also look excellent in medium metallic blue (like b5 or so) with blue, white, or black interiorlowering the front end makes a big difference looks good, this is a beautiful car, looking good and I'm looking forward to see what colors you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I would build it using a softer color,but if your not sure just build another one in your second color choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
