michelle Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) i decided to mimic the old mpc customizing parts givin with the 68-70 charger kits with this 69 500 parts car i had it was missing the back window ,the hood, the front grille, the taillights and was missing the stering wheel and shifter, the original wheels and tires ,the wheel backs and engine,and engine bay parts so i figured i would do a custom with it i used parts from my other parts cars and parts i got in boxes with rebuilders the paint is a metallic gold base coat with a top coat of orange color coat to give it this metallic burnt orange color Edited May 31, 2019 by michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1 model citizen Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Very nice color! Is the orange color coat a translucent paint or was it a light single coat of solid color over the gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on! CT thank you the orginal mpc 68-70 charger customizing kits came with side window filler pieces and louvers for the normal recessed rear window along with a split rear bumper and one peice tail light and a custom grille and custom hood the only reason i know they did was due to the pics of the box art and the online repository of scans of the original instruction sheets so i did my best to replicate the look they would give the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olschoolkid Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Nice Charger. I really like the paint and all of the custom parts you added. That's the beauty of model building, being able to mix and match parts to build what we want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
