Excellent work! Great kit bashing! I'm sure it'll be a beauty!

Thanks Dennis. I’m really surprised how well the 71 Charger interior, engine bay and chassis fit.

My paint order arrived 3 days before the ETA date so I was able to get the 3rd coat sprayed on and it is now ready for the clear coat.

I love the kit bashing and the color. I always liked this body style more than the Charger. Opening up the grille is impressive.

Thanks Bill, I didn’t open the grill on mine that’s Brian Schindler‘s build but it looks good.

I’ve clear coated and waiting on it to dry to buff it out. I’ve also ordered some white pin stripes to add on the sides.

That looks slick Dan!!

Don't think you'll need much polishing on this paint finish.

Thanks David, I just started with 6000 and worked my to 12000 grit sanding and then some novice 2 polish.

I buffed out the clear coat and added some chrome trim around the windows and wheel openings. Did a test assembly to make sure everything is still going together the way it should. I’ve ordered some white  pin striping today for the sides.

Thanks Mike, I’m using Scale Finishes paint and Testors wet look clear decanted and sprayed with my air brush. Then I wet sand with 6000, 8000 and 12000 grit and then several applications of Novus #2.
