Hey everyone back on the bench,haven't built anything Mopar in a long time,decided to build a Coronet R/T using a old transkit from PSF Hobbies.But had problems right from the start,the transkit had 2 scoops for the passenger side,😡luckily i bought 2 and the other was okay. IMG_7193.thumb.JPG.6c9a07ee73a374ce63eb7d285b9ff93b.JPG

However the scoops were way to large!rather than give up i cut the scoops into sections then sanded them down and reglued them.IMG_7185.thumb.JPG.9583cf5fdf70be4517d1504dcc71fc83.JPGIMG_7195.thumb.JPG.3d2fc581599dba97149a0c52ba88d2a5.JPG

Have the chassis semi completeIMG_7239.thumb.JPG.a3204e1a19c55ec7e6a67d5324390edb.JPG

Going with a tan interior,doing the bmf/woodgrain was tough,i covered the area with bmf first ,then applied some light sand as a base for the woodgrain decals,i used the same technique on the console and shifter and the dashboard,thats it for now. IMG_7240.thumb.JPG.5563c167da659f7f8983b25cc4e0788d.JPGIMG_7241.thumb.JPG.369873dce8fb5c50daed58c370ade0e0.JPGIMG_7242.thumb.JPG.c8c44c0ee8ae7a0a8c1a7ad3b6a63064.JPGIMG_7243.thumb.JPG.1adfcf662008a2d1241e6e11534e3467.JPG

I built this a long time ago when it first came out.  Be sure to test fit the engine to hood clearance.  I could not get the air cleaner to fit.  It might have just been me.  IDK if they fixed the issue or not on later versions.

Curtis I like details on your interior and nice choices on your colors. What color are you going with for the top?

I was thinking of going with a white top.

Curtis, May I ask how you do your wood grain?

I use an old decal sheet from Detail Master,you just paint a light color for a base and lay the decal overtop.I don't have the skill to do it by hand.IMG_7248.thumb.JPG.6d4a00f8d546311a17f205b74c8d3f1c.JPG

Time for a couple updates, i added seatbelts and flocking to the interior. IMG_7275.JPG.1ee6b958d130177cf92f79b1e84308b9.JPG

I airbrushed a little Tamiya clear blue on the windshield.IMG_7268.JPG.06ddf1780607455e083292f18ac6115e.JPG

Next up the wheels and tires,i used some Fireball decals on the kit tires, i also added wheel weights and valve stems.IMG_7270.JPG.67969d52a4212ed50db720fecf8720c3.JPG

Next up the tailights,painted Tamiya Matt black i used bmf on the lettering first then used a little thinner to remove the black paint after.I used a tamiya silver sharpie for the area around the taillights.IMG_7269.JPG.a8771b87f6a963fae9d85ee335cb92aa.JPG

Part2 of my updates,body is painted and cleared and applied the decals,but the decals didn't want to curl around the body that well,even after lots of decal softener was applied!😡IMG_7272.JPG.f0a092d6142b7d0d12cdc31ab1804de2.JPGIMG_7271.JPG.efb62182945f5dd23d17569525eb1eb0.JPGIMG_7273.JPG.437b35540d808b69eafb631611c212f1.JPG

The engine is installed,i had to modify the exhaust since i put in a Hemi,i used Alclad Hot metal Sepia to heat stain the exhaust.That's it for now.

Awesome looking build of my all time favorite Mopar!!

A tiny bit of advice if I may. The wheels in the kit are meant to be the Rally wheels with trim rings. The wheel weights would be behind the trim rings instead of on them.

I’ll be honest I agree too it’s a small detail and just move them to the back side
