1970 Dodge Coronet "Super Bee"


Car Crazy 81

Recommended Posts

Heres another one of my newest projects that im slowly getting started my plans for this one is: Bronze paint with "Super Bee" C-stripes, 426 ci Hemi engine with a 4-speed, Dogdish wheels , Dana 60 rear axle, Black interior with bucket seats & a pistol-grip shifter. What ya'll think i wanted to go different since i havent seen any bronze metallic Super Bees. The paint im using is Rust-Oleum "Metallic" Copper to replicate the original Bronze Metallic.

Great job so far.

My very first 1:1 was a '70 Super Bee. Same color.

Have even built a replica of her, using the Fred Cady decal sheet.

and MCW Dark Burnt Orange Metallic paint.

my car was a stripe delete. just had a Super Bee decal on the quarter panel.

I have a great fondness for this model Dodge.

Just started building mine today. Thanks for the inspiration and yours looks good so far.

Depending on your ultimate interior color choice, I would either go with the White Bumble Bee stripe (for a light or two tone black/white interior) or the Black Bumble Bee stripe (for a dark interior).

i love it man did you just spray the paint right out of he can any problems ?

The paint that i'd used on the Bee is Rust-Oleum "Metallic" Copper which i'd bought from Wal-Mart its right out of the can. It can be also found at Home-Depot & Lowes.I didnt have any problems with it i'd primed the body with Valspar Primer Gray which is an enamel. This is some good paint i'd would recommend this to anyone.
