My build of a '64 Dodge Max Wedge lightweight. Kit is the AMT Color Me Gone kit.

This is the first time I applied bare metal foil. Didn't have any major problems applying it & I think it turned out ok. Even did the door handles. Paint is Rust-Oleum gloss white that was decanted from the rattle can & air brushed. Interior was painted with kraft paint. Wired engine, added seat belts and20220415_004108971_iOS.thumb.jpeg.0e82ece4a7fe9096e113287a66ed7b4c.jpeg20220415_004131925_iOS.thumb.jpeg.993000a157f13bb165c199cf7d5df335.jpeg20220415_004146638_iOS.thumb.jpeg.295fd7a01963109451501e57f415a539.jpeg20220415_004303188_iOS.thumb.jpeg.7fb98c5cd7b34e3b2e08de2c96b16892.jpeg20220415_004322488_iOS.thumb.jpeg.60906d8bb0affe59f473a4567a38aa60.jpeg20220415_004246173_iOS.thumb.jpeg.87f7eaabde0ed662c5cb7ca622759522.jpeg20220415_004213863_iOS.thumb.jpeg.c145cab3c790d2353e0eb4222eef2aba.jpeg valve stems to the wheels.

I’m impressed with your BMF trimming, particularly around those radiuses bends on the front fenders. I also like the paint detailing you did on the molded-in wiring on the firewall and inner fender wells and the panel highlighting on the doors and trunk.

Overall very nice job on this Max Wedge street sleeper!

Great looking paint finish and I like the basic white color. The chrome trim is all cleanly done. Something about the "Sleeper" look that I just have always liked.

Thanks for all the comments. 
I owned a car like this back in the 70’s. That’s how I came up with the color & interior color..sadly, mine wasn’t a light weight, but did have an original 426 wedge from a super stock Plymouth that was destroyed in a fire. Have always liked these mopars.

Very well done John , looks like a real sleeper in white !  I'd never known this was your first time applying BMF , congrats !

Good looking Dodge. Love the subtle appearance. The engine looks spot on. Nice work on the foiling.

Many say foiling is their least favourite part of the build, but I love it. Sure, it’s frequently frustrating, and I often re-do a bit that I can’t seem to get quite right, but that makes it all the more satisfying when you finally nail it, and the whole thing just pops. You’re off to a great start on yours, and as John noted, particularly tidy around those tricky trim corners. Great work.
