Looks really nice. I think you got the fade spot on?. And who cares about the gas cap, maybe you do but I think it looks good anyway 

That picture is what it feels like sometimes when your working with removing tranys from engines isn't it.

Thanks bro!

Great job on the paint Scott!  Those colors look like a great match.  It will look awesome once the decals and clear are on.

[Moparman18064]

That turned out really nice?

[Scott Eriksen]

...........decals on , once more with some decal set then clear coat tomorrow

[Moparman18064]

Looks awesome

[FoMoCo66]

Ooo yeah I like the look of that ?.

[Scott Eriksen]

..........clear on ........cut and buff in a day or so

[FoMoCo66]

Ooh shiny. I like it. 

[Scott Eriksen]

polish done.....bare metal next

[Scott Eriksen]

............Hemi going together ,,,not gonna do the Clutchflite,,,I would have to bastardize 3 complete Mopar kits to do it right 

[FoMoCo66]

Nice job. My sox and martin cuda's engine is no were near as nice as that.

[Codi]

Nicely done Scott. 

The paint job is spot on and you have to be very happy with it.  It's amazing to see what is possible now in the world of 3D printed products.  That engine pic you shared is quite something and being a lover of the 70's pro stocks, this will be one to certainly follow.

cheers, tim

..............have to make my own headers out of solder,,,those great looking 3D print headers no worky with the torsion bars

[Bainford]

The Challenger is looking great. Nice work on the paint. It's going to be cool!

[dragcarz]

Super nice work Scott, that’s coming out beautifully!

[6bblbird]

Another museum quality build by Scott! ?

[AmericanMuscleFan]

WOW !!!!!!!!  Fantastic job Scott, the paint job is absolutely superb. The Clutchflite would have been an incredible detail, but I understand your feeling about all the resources that would have been required to make one.  Sometimes you have to make choices and that doesn't take away from the quality of your project. ?

....................getting close

[Scott Eriksen]

.............. a little bit of wiring and plumbing left,,make some wheelie bars ,,,couple more decals on the windows ,,some chrome pen,and Bare Metal foil here and there ,,and clean up

[FoMoCo66]

Looks good but is it just me or do those rear slicks look a little small ?. Either way I love it.

I used the slicks from the JoHan Pro Street(S&M) 'cuda kit,, they fill the wheelwell pretty much like the 1:1

Ok. Whatever works ?. It might just be me.

[dragcarz]

14X32 slicks were not developed until 1972, about the largest slick you could get for a 15 inch wheel in 1970 was a 12X30. 

[dragcarz]

Your  build is beautiful by the way!

[Scott Eriksen]

..............pretty much done except for the wheelie bars,,I got some 3D print ones on order for this and some future builds ,,,so putting it on the shelf and back to the 53ft trailer
