Furiousgeorge Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I'm trying to get this one banged out for a local contest to sit with a box stock Super Bee. I'm a fair ways into this one already, so I should be able to keep up with a wip! Color is Tamiya sky blue, the interior is white. I went with a 440 4bbl, with the intake and coil from the Revell '68 Charger, and the carb from the AMT '71 Charger. It's wired and plumbed, though not quite done yet. I'm also adding bits from the '68 Dart (door handles, wipers and whatever else strikes my fancy). I've got a set of the pad printed Polyglass tires to throw on.
moparremco Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Looks very good!!!How do you have make that chroom by the wheel walls?
Monty Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Looks very good!!!How do you have make that chroom by the wheel walls?It's probably Bare Metal Foil or one of its variants. A couple other companies make similar products.
Furiousgeorge Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Yup, it's the "new and improved" BMF. Seems to work and look good. Thanks for the comments!
Furiousgeorge Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks for all the comments! Other then attaching the transmission, I'm calling the engine done!
Speedfreak Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Trent, nice work! how did you get the color for the exhaust manifolds? Looks pretty real, they look textured as well, thanks.
Furiousgeorge Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks! The manifolds are painted Testors rust. They're nicely done pieces, and the texturing shows through paint nicely.
Speedfreak Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks! The manifolds are painted Testors rust. They're nicely done pieces, and the texturing shows through paint nicely.Ya, I think they look really good, thanks for the info. I'll have to pick me up some of that paint, is it a 3oz bottle?
Snake45 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Very, very nice! And thanks for using black plug wires for a stock build and not yellow or blue.
Furiousgeorge Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Speedfreak mine is the little square 1/4 oz bottle, #1185.Snake45 I have used yellow in the past, but only for racing or hotrodded engines.
JTalmage Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 That's going to be a beautiful car when finished. Lots of good detail going in... I can't bring myself to go that far. I have trouble with tiny parts!
Snake45 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Snake45 I have used yellow in the past, but only for racing or hotrodded engines. And that is exactly where they belong.
tbill Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 engine looks superb! body color is a beauty as well. keep up the fantastic work!
Furiousgeorge Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks for all the kind words! I just got off of working nights, and got a little bit accomplished. The engine bay is done, hopefully it holds together when I jam it into the body! I always hate that stage of a build...
Furiousgeorge Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Alright, calling this one done. Hopefully it makes it to the contest intact!
Belugawrx Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Nice clean build Trent I like how that came out.. Well Done, Cheers
mikemopar70 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Really nice Mopar.t's been built very clean, congratulations!!
carl63_99 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Nice work! This model makes me ask, when Mopar painted the rockers black, did they mask off the underside so the black didn't get on the bottom? Anybody know?
