1968 chrysler 300 drop top refresh

Trying to get back into the whole modeling groove.

One of reissue Johan friction promo

Purchased long ago. In plans to replicate a car I used to own. Sadly...the car was destroyed . lost it in a fire. 

Car is molded red with red interior. 

But incorrect colors for the year.

Simple plan is....a take it apart and paint the correct colors of my old car.

I'll do some BMF work on all the trim.

Give the paint a light polish. And in the case it goes

 Duplicolor gloss black and clear .

Herbs parts for the interior color. Same as my 66 satellite

All rattle cans

Looks good. Wish i hadkept all my old 1:1s. Has to be sickening to loose a car in a fire.

Had a 68 Newport Custom 1:1 with the same bucket seats.  Looking good ?

It was a project but rust free and complete.

 

440 TNT motor, console auto, Factory air, factory cruise control pwr drum brakes.  In 15 years or more, Ive yet to see another one like it 

 

I was crushed when I heard of the fire

Cool ride. Nice car. I too lost a 1:1 to an engine fire. I had 9 years of blood, sweat and paychecks invested in it.
