heyjohnxx Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 This one's number 3. Backstory is a poor amateur radio operator needed a used car with a strong electrical system. This one looked like a good deal as an ex-Michigan State cruiser, maybe used by a ranking trooper as it had some nicer features. Colors are are by guess, I couldn't find 2 pictures that agreed.
mrmike Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Michigan State Police cruisers were a blue close to what you have used here. They have a 100th Anniversary paint scheme that was black with gold graphics.
heyjohnxx Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 I'm no Dann or others on the forum, but I'm pretty happy with my radios and GPS
heyjohnxx Posted November 4, 2019 Author Posted November 4, 2019 I missed a step. Here's one of the interior before radios, yada yada and after
heyjohnxx Posted November 5, 2019 Author Posted November 5, 2019 A bit of a setback, the body for the Charger has gone for a swim in the purple pond. One gigantic goober from my thumb on the door.
heyjohnxx Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 This model doesn't like me. I was just finishing the respray of the body and my can of paint splattered all over. Back in the pond. Then when I was at the other end of the house, I heard a crash from the living room. The box containing all the finished bits and pieces had fallen to the floor. Bad news, I found everything but an exhaust tip. Good news, I found the missing mike and a lens belonging to an unknown kit. Is it Tuesday yet?
jefropas Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) That's really close to MSP blue in the sunlight...I almost bought a used one (14' Charger), went with an ex- OHSP Charger instead...what blue did you use? Thanks. Jeff Edited November 10, 2019 by jefropas
heyjohnxx Posted November 11, 2019 Author Posted November 11, 2019 Rust-Oleum Sail Blue. Someday I'll have enough money to buy real paint. Sigh.

jefropas Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Thanks, I'll look for it, I've got a few MSP cars to do yet... Jeff
heyjohnxx Posted November 28, 2019 Author Posted November 28, 2019 Last shots for the Charger. I lost the headliner piece. so if it ever turns up, I'll pop the windows out and polish them. Sigh, me and glue.
