Decided to try and knock out a Halloween build... and add to my star cars... I don't know if I'll get her done by Halloween or not.

Got the body sprayed with Tamiya Bright Red and Pure White...

Now to try and tape her off and spray some silver... fingers crossed

Very little time for models during the week...

but I did get the chassis/interior put together. I'm going with the blacked out windows, so not much detail to be involved here...

and it's hard to tell from the photos, but I got some black on some of the chrome goodies

Hoping to get some more done on her tomorrow before the weekend festivities start...

Stay tuned...

My all time fav movie. But the book is better.

I have a handful of these kits, two currently started. One movie accurate Christine, one not so much.

Looking forward to seeing yours all wrapped up.

Well after 2 hours of taping, a 5 minute spray job, and 10 mins of tape removal...

Looks great! I didn’t enjoy the tape time myself.  What tape do you use.?

Tamiya mostly

Well... I had a bit of a mishap with the side glass. Got most of the glue off them.. most...

but regardless, just in time for Halloween, she's done.

Still have to get some decent photos before I post under glass.

As always, thanks for looking...

Thanks man! With work going the way it has I didn't think it would happen. I cheated and sprayed the inside with flat black.

I have the non-evil version of the movie star in her box, waiting to queue-in. I hope mine turns out as nice as your's did. As much as I love the red/white scheme on the '58 Plymouth, I will likely do something else. Maybe downgrade to a Savoy. Anyway, congrats! Great looking MoPuppy!

Thanks guys! I do appreciate it... she's heading under glass right now (got some outside shots)

It might look like one of these. The side trim conversion is the easy part. It's the stupid bumper "wings" where the work is. The result is a cleaner look (in my humble opinion) more suitable for a mild custom or a resto-mod like the ones pictured below. By the way, sorry for the untimely reply.

Oh HECK yeah!!! Great finish on this one Jeremy!! I haven't tackled one of these kits yet but every time one is built up, I get the itch to try one. Good turn out buddy.
