1969 super bee A-12

[Nicholas]

Well, as if I don’t have enough on my plate, I decided to join a group build off on Instagram, it’s a 1969 A-12 superbee here are some pictures of the work in progress, I put the rapid transit 70 Cudas  on hold for now. I have one month to finish this. What did I get myself into??

Nicholas you’re making great progress on your Super Bee. Your B5 blue and the white top will look really sharp. Nice detail on your engine too.

Great looking body color. Like the paint detailing on the chassis and engine. Are those carbs and manifold the kits intake setup? 

[Brutalform]

Looking good. You have all the necessary parts from Fireball to make a correct looking A-12.  I’ll be following along.

Beautiful engine and chassis detail so far!

Good color choice.

Great Start and great clean work!

[Nicholas]

Some more progress on the engine, the iceman collections 3-D carb intake air cleaner set up is one of the best I’ve ever used very realistic, even the drains on the air cleaner, housing, although I added my own hoses , also got the vinyl top painted, I used MCW textured white paint. The stuff is great. I use it for all my vinyl tops .now on to wet sanding the body decals, clear coat, then some bare metal foil and possibly assembly time ,i am  plugging along on this and should make the deadline barring no un forseen disasters ?,this is my first ever online build/build off, very exciting!

That is indeed some mighty fine engine detail.

The vinyl top looks great too.

Your color choice looks great. A couple years ago, I built a couple of A12s. A Mystic Green Superbee, and a Hemi Orange Roadrunner. I also used Joseph’s parts as well.

Coming along nicely - really good engine detail!

[Mopar - D]

Nicholas excellent engine details and nice work on your white vinyl top.
