xs650shawn Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Started this recently. Going for a mild custom/pro touring look to it. Swapping in a 440 from the '68 GTX kit. Wheels from Revell Dodge Sidewinder show truck. Made some lowering spindles for the front end. 6
slusher Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 I am a big Mopar fan. Nice start and I will be following your build…
Vintage AMT Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Which transmission and bellhousing are you using ? Spindles look good..

xs650shawn Posted October 22, 2023 Author Posted October 22, 2023 Well, tried painting, experimenting with Quick Shine as a clear. Got some runs on the body. Tried sanding, and went through the base color. When I tried touching up the color (Wicked Silver metallic acrylic), remaining clear started bubbling/lifting. Oh well, into the purple pond. Will redo the silver, and back to 2k clear. Not impressed with Quick Shine at all.
xs650shawn Posted October 24, 2023 Author Posted October 24, 2023 Body now refinished, Stynylrez primer, Createx Wicked Silver metallic, 2k clear. Much better. Also got some other parts painted. 2
Bills72sj Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 That is an interesting color for the engine. If Quick Shine is the same a Pledge. you can remove it with a household ammonia and cotton swabs. doing so does not bother solvent based paints in the least. I recleared the roof on my Chevelle 3 times with no affect on the color. 1
Zippi Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Turned out pretty nice on this one. I'm liking the Silver metallic.
David G. Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 It looks like you're off to a good start despite the paint hiccups. David G.
xs650shawn Posted October 31, 2023 Author Posted October 31, 2023 Just a WIP pic. Most painting is done (except for the grille, which I forgot about), and I can start assembly and detail painting. 3
