restoman Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 A bit of a tribute to a long-ago grade school teacher's car, one of the very first performance Mopars I can remember. From Grade 1 in 1970, this would have been a new car, and it sure dressed up the school yard! Painted in Scale Finishes Q3 Light Turquoise base/clear, it'll have a white bench seat, column shift interior, white wall tires and a white tail stripe. ThatScale Finishes base is soooo nice to spray! I used the Dart GTS big block, as it'll be a basic 383 Bee and the kit's 440 six pack didn't fit my plan. Comments always welcome.
geetee66 Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Blimey! I'm impressed with the shine on your paint. These cars had a lovely shape. Your colour choice does its lines justice.
High octane Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 VERY nice build as I just love dem B-body Mopars!
espo Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 As pointed out by others the paint is outstanding. I like how you have detailed the engine compartment.
Belair2k Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Beautiful job so far. Really nice colour selection.
moparfarmer Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Very nice job on the Bee..Well done engine compartment but maybe pass on the white walls..Rallye wheels looked better and tougher with black walls or Good Year Raised White Letters..Very nice work..So far so good..Gonna look killer when done..

Absolutely, but this one is more of the type of car that most people drove back then: a basic, affordable muscle car, and as the Bee was pretty new when I remember it, it most likely came with whitewalls.
dan_a Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Very nice. Nicely optioned too, can't wait to see the bench seat, column shift.
Againmikewins Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 This is a great looking build so far! I really like how classy the thin white walls look!
