Mopar - D Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I’m going to be following along with you on this build as I also have this resin kit in my collection to build. Did your kit come with a interior and photo etched parts? What colors are you going with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

restoman Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'm following this... I've got a resin 300 that might make it to the bench this winter. Love the fuselage Chrycos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montelsc Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 This is what im going for but not with the wheels you see in this pic looks like cragars needs some firewall work not a big deal still undecided on how to chrome the frt and rear bumpers paint may end up dull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koellefornia Kid Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I will follow that build because I have a ´70 300 Kit, too. Mine does not have an engine bay and has a built-in hood (so I´m a little bit jealous). I will send my bumpers to a company that did some chrome plating for me before. It´s not the cheapest way but it looks definitely better than Alclad, BMF or Molotow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Bruce nice progress and it’s going to look good in blue. Are you going with a vinyl top like in the picture? What are you going to use for your engine? I’m also interested in seeing what you do with getting your bumpers chrome. I’ve got the same issues.

58 Impala Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Looking forward to seeing your progress. My best friend growing up his dad had a similar model, it was a 69 Chrysler LeBaron 2door. 440 4 bbl, 727 torqueflite. The car was a monster, weighed 5100 lbs, and could smoke the tires at will. It was a cruiser but got awful gas mileage around 10 mpg.Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Very cool! I wouldn't mind having one of these kits. For such a monumental boat, these cars looked pretty sleek. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
