kelson Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 New project,i've had sitting for at least a decade or more so i decided to rebuild it,going to repaint it Bittersweet Orange from Scalefinishes.The plan was to use Ray decals to,but he's a little behind,luckily i had a old Fred Cady sheet laying around . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 I've made some progress over the last few weeks,dashboard is done,i couldn't get the BMF strip straight on the dash no matter how many times i tried,i also painted the engine using Scalefinishes AMC engine color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 Body has been painted and stripes added today,the stripes didn't quite fit so a little trimming was needed,hopefully clearcoats on the body tomorrow. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Looking good so far. The 70 Javelin was such a good looking car, in my opinion one of the best looking American cars built. I'll be watching this one come together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportabout Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Looks rally good. Have you planned to replace the old torque tube gearbox with the correct one, e.g. 4-speed T-10, which has been in the Javelin. Such can be found in the AMT Matador NASCAR kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Nice looking build Curtis. Nice to see a rare Johan kit being built. Not sure if I missed it, but where are the dash gauge decals from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
