They all look great Jason. I especially like that trio of Mopars!??

I forgot my 1957 Bel Air as well

That A12 Superbee looks plain EVIL in black!! ?

With a red stripe and red interior it would be perfect!!

Great looking paint work.

I've got a red stripe to try but will have black interior

I'm blinded now, but those are nice paint jobs!  

I really like the color of the Challenger.......

Boy you’re off to a great start ?

Sounds like you have the same problem as me. Too many projects on the go at once, and I just want to do to work on them all now.
Great paint job on all those. My favourite is the blue/white Hornet.

I paint outside too. Even in winter, dash out, paint and dash back in. The only paints I have a blush issue is with Duplicolor spray cans.

As a kid, I used a big cardboard box that sat with one side cut out, on top of the washing machine. I may have to do that come real cold weather. My main concern then would be the dryer lint.

Just got another body ready and painted for assembly this winter. MPC 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Convertible. Primed and airbrushed with ScaleFinishes Chrysler Turbine Bronze

I'll really be looking forward to seeing what you do with the Challenger. What kit are you using? AMT?

Challenger is the Revell model based off the diecast mold.

Yea, I've heard that one is sort of weird, but don't really see it myself.

Those paint jobs all look great!   Should make for a fun winter of building. 

I paint outside too,  and have been in a mad rush to get a couple shot and ready to go.   But the weather has turned quickly here.   Kinda looking like I'm done for the season.   Time to start building!

Love ‘em all but particularly the Hudson & the Merc. Great idea to paint the big shiny parts (bodies) while the weather is still warm. Your WIP is inspiring me to start an assembly line for my winter auto builds….it was 84F here today!
