Captain Spaulding Posted June 12, 2021 Author Posted June 12, 2021 Done some painting last night, happy how all this turned out.
Captain Spaulding Posted June 12, 2021 Author Posted June 12, 2021 Started work on the interior and detailed the center console. Slow work but I'm happy with the results.

doorsovdoon Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Nice progress. I like the wheels and the centre console, looking really good. I have the dreaded MPC version of this to build soon!

Captain Spaulding Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 Got the interior assembled, just haven't installed the roll bar yet. Happy with how it came out.
Captain Spaulding Posted June 16, 2021 Author Posted June 16, 2021 Decided to put some paint on the body today, not a perfect paint job but I'm happy with it.
bisc63 Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 This is progressing beautifully. Snazzy detailing on the interior!

SickBoy Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Looking really good, interior is very nice, great work on the console. That engine! I built a version of this kit years ago, broke to pieces during several moves but think I have some surviving pieces in my parts box.

slusher Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Great looking interior. I like the body color also..
Just Jim Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 This looks great. Have always loved the 68-72 Chargers. I have the MPC Country Charger kit and was thinking about building it next. Sorry, don't mean to ask a silly question but when you say "after seeing how badly the mod had become" what do you mean? Not sure what you mean when you say "Mod". I have not heard great things about that kit so I'm expecting a challenge. Hopefully I can overcome it.

Typed mold but guess my phone must of changed it to mod instead. I've found the kit has been reissued so many times there are lots of issues with it. Mine has half the trim missing from the drivers side window, that's why I decided to use the better kit for this build and thinking of turning the country Charger into a stock car.
Captain Spaulding Posted June 22, 2021 Author Posted June 22, 2021 I'm still working away on this, had some paint issues that forced me to strip the old paint off. Now it's wearing Dupli-Color Hemi Orange which I'm happy with so far Picked up some Dupli-Color clear, first time using it and looked great on a test piece. Question for anyone reading this who has used it, is it best applied after the chrome and decals are on the kit or before?

Makes sense, appreciate the quick reply.
David G. Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Great progress on this! Nice interior detailing. Good color choice but I can't help seeing it as a DOH Charger. That's not a bad thing, it's just a thing. It's amazing how those pop culture influences can rewrite one's software. David G. Edited June 23, 2021 by David G. typo

Thanks David, it's gonna be a General Lee when it's finished. I'm sure us 40 something year olds on here remember that car as a kid outrunning the sheriff and jumping over everything and wanting one lol.

I kind of thought so but I didn't want to assume anything. Are you going to go with the traditional version or the socially adjusted version? David G.
