Mopar - D Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Thanks Jeff. I worked on the engine and so far everything in the engine compartment is fitting nicely. I’m still working on the interior to fit better and found my tires to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s my test fitting to see how it’s going to look. I’m working on how to build or find a air conditioning unit on the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 I’m getting closer on finishing this one been working on the engine bay and interior plus the chassis. I’m starting on the chrome trim now. Again here’s some test fitting pictures. The paper on the top is to keep my dirty fingers off white.

gotnitro? Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Nicely done Dan ! Really amazing how large these cars were and how they ever fit inside . That head on shot really shows how imposing these cars were designed, something sadly lacking now Edited November 16, 2021 by gotnitro?

Mopar - D Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 I finished the interior and buffed out the blue paint. I also did more chrome trim. Ended up having to respray the trunk and my tape peeled some paint off on the top of the front fender so more spraying tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your comments I appreciate them.

Mopar - D Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Working on the final details with the front windshield being my last hurdle to get done. It looks like my second attempt is going to work waiting on the glue to dry to see if it stays in place. Here’s my progress pictures.
