ChrisPflug Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Building a 70s era street machine for another forum community project and using up a bunch of parts I had lying around in a none-too serious build without going into too much detail Theme is a '69 Charger 500 bought for cheap off the used car lot around '74 during the gas crunch and treated to some custom body work and paint as well as a big blower and chrome accessories, big tires and slotted mags Thinking of two (or more) tone paint featuring some big flake gold and "cranberry" (purplish maroon metallic) Duplicolor. Anyone have a source for small scale lace? Kit is a AMT release General Lee I hadn't planned on building and it's always fun to raid the parts box Who knew tacky could be so much fun? The start.....

RodneyBad Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The Flares are a cool touch. I like it.. Scale lace? Check out the Fabric stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisPflug Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Still deciding on what type of spoiler treatment to go with for the rear- made some very rough mockups rather than spending a lot of time - neither of the masking tape spoilers would probably quite so tall in plastic. First one is an extra MPC '71 Roadrunner part reshaped to match the supports of a Revell Daytona but was afraid it might be too "Joe Dirt" What do you think?

diymirage Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 this one is too much of a nascar look this one is too much of a camaro IROC look this one is the best of the three in my opinion but like you said it does look a lot like a RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The SB wing should be fine so long as it's now how the car would look today after a few decades of negelct and abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPflug Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Made a rear spoiler out of some scraps lying around, sprayed the body with a light clear coat to seal the orange plastic then shot a first primer coat over the rough bodywork. Scrounged up a blower and the rest of the engine parts and found an even better set of deep slotted mags out of an AMT Avanti kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samm1970 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I like what you've done so far.It definitely has that 70's "Street Freak" feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
