Chuck Most Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 This is the Moebius kit. I started it back when the kit first came out, but I ended up with some nicks and blemishes in the paint, so I left it in the box for a bit. Over time I decided to leave the paint problems on it, as they give the car a kind of "as-is" used car lot appearance. I was going for an old lady's car that was purchased used by a guy who then swapped in the Hemi and added the Keystones. That Hemi came from a Revell '68 Charger, along with the hood scoop, while the wheels are from an MRC parts pack with AMT pad-printed tires. Now that this one is finally finished, I want to do a better version with the pillared coupe body. Or a rattier version with a slant six. I have to say, for a car that doesn't do much for me in 1:1, I like the kit.
High octane Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Nice job on the Satellite as I just love dem B-body Mopars!
TooOld Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Absolutely gorgeous ! Great color choice and you just gotta love those MRC wheels !
David G. Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Yup, I still remember the days when you could get a real one like this for about $800.00. Yours looks great, I'd buy it! David G.
DeeCee Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Nice tidy build, color suits it too. Bit high in the front for me... but that's just me
CapSat 6 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 That's a great build, Chuck! That's very much like a '65 Satellite that a good friend of mine owns- he bought a survivor '65 coupe from an elderly gent about 18 years ago, it was gold with a cream painted top, and a 273 V-8. He improved the cosmetics of the original-paint car without a full repaint (he's a Paint & Body Guy), added a Hemi Hood Scoop & mags, ran the 273 for awhile, but then eventually replaced it with his "Doomsday Engine" (a built 440 with Max Wedge heads & intake). It's uncanny how you captured the vibe of his "Fun Car". I will have to see if I can dig up some pics of his car and post them.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Looks pretty good. Almost too good. Are you feeling OK? I can see no rust, or patina.
Robberbaron Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 Nice job, mission accomplished! That gold looks like something Aunt Mable would have bought.
