[Bronzekeg]

my 3rd go at this great kit. body color is undecided at this point so I'll be starting with the engine. c&c are welcome as always and thanks for looking.

i have the 69 dodge coronet, I'm going to cut the roof off to make a convertible

I'll certainly keep an eye on your build

What will you do with the roof? ?

[eldo60]

if i don't ruin it, probably the parts box

[slusher]

I have this kit have not opened it. Looking forward to your build, Ken!

I got the engine coming along and leaning towards black for the body. I haven't had much luck with bmf lately so the side trim will be a challenge to paint. it will have a black interior and top boot.

[Bronzekeg]

engine pretty much done and I have started cleaning up the chassis.

I got the rear of the chassis coming along. these are nice kits with the only drawback being no separate headlight lenses.

 

[Bronzekeg]

the wheels are done and have been working on finishing up the chassis and engine compartment. needs radiator and hoses to complete engine bay.

Coming together nicely

wheels and tires have been put on and interior painting has been started.

I'm thinking your wood grain is nicer than Chrysler's ever was! ? I remember even as a kid thinking how fake the wood in dad's Plymouth looked! Build is shaping up nicely, and your interior is sharp.

[slusher]

Real nice work, Ken!   Are the tires red line or decals?

tires come red lined in the kit Carl. thanks for your comment!

[Bronzekeg]

interior pretty much finished now. have started body prep for paint.

[Bronzekeg]

the body has been painted and drying for a couple of days. some pictures of where the build stands so far.

[Bronzekeg]

I got the side trim and emblems done, red decal stripes next.

Very nice progress. The interior is particularly well done - always important for a convertible.
