1968 Plymouth Road Runner

[crazyjim]

Weird kit.  AMT 60s Sizzle 1968 Plymouth Road Runner - with GTX emblems on the side.  Anyway, it's painted with HOK cocoa pearl.  It's pretty much out of the box except for engine wiring and wheels.  Carbs sit too high and it's impossible to use air filters.

That's cool. Always liked this body style. Great color also. 

[Snake45]

Great color! I'd love to find some of that stuff.

[Harry P.]

I love that color! Nice work.

[Scalper]

I like the paint. Nice work. Whole model looks great. 

[Can-Con]

Looks good Jim. Love the wheels with the colors

Not just GTX emblems on the side of the body though, That's the '69 GTX body, it's different in some ways than the '68 like the side marker lights, trunk lid and tailights.

[Mr Stock]

Very nice Jim, great colour choice and those Spyder wheels really suit the car.

Very nice Mopar

Looks awesome Jim. Another masterpiece!!!!

[crazyjim]

Holy cow.  Thank you everybody.

[bbowser]

Looks great in that color.  Did those wheels come in the kit?

[crazyjim]

Thanks Bruce.  Spyder wheels are my castings, not the kit.

[JTalmage]

Great looking build! But where are the GTX taillight housings?

Also, with that intake and carb setup, it was meant to have holes in the hood, which is why they wouldnt fit. If you were wondering. 

I always love your use of HOK colors.

Looks nice!

[crazyjim]

Thanks Chris.

Very nice build on that Plymouth Jim, and I just love dem Mopars!

[crazyjim]

Thanks Nick.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Jesse. 

The kit taillights didn't fit so I used some transparent red stuff with BMF backing. 

The hood has a line underneath for a cutout, but there was no scoop in the kit.  That's what I get for trying a different (for me) intake setup.

HOK is good struff.

[Kit Basher]

Looks great as usual, Jim.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Hugh.

That looks great! Love the color. I have some of that HOK Cocoa Pearl. Nice to see what it looks like on a body. I may have to do my 40 Ford in it.

Later-

Thanks Tom.  I shot the cocoa over Duplicolor sandable primer.  It's a fairly dark grey.  A '40 Ford would look good in cocoa.
