09 Challenger

[Jared Roach]

So, I built this when the kit first came out, and was never happy with the way the paint came out. So a few days ago I was board, and decided to strip the paint. It came off very easily, and was ready for primer the next day. So today I painted it gm fathom green metallic, and it looks pretty good. I'm going to let it sit over night, then I am going to clear it the next day. It will not have the hood strip, since It was on the car when I stiped it, and I think it will look better without it.

Hopefully I will have this build done soon, because I really want to finish atleast one more thing before the yaers over lol.

I also started detailing the underside

I FINALLY got this paint at Wal Mart. I have been waiting for atleast a month for it, and it was in the back room the whole time But I am good for awhile.

But anyways, thanks for looking and I will keep you updated as I get more done.

Looks interesting, is that the color on the body, is it like a greenish black?

The car is painted fathom green, and those paint cans are flat black, but I like that brand because it don't damage the plastic when you do interiors and other parts.

looks nice, very nice!

i agree about the hood strip, it looks better without on darker colours like this.

[Jared Roach]

Thanks.

I got a update.

So I cleared it, and it is really rough, so after a few days it will be wetsanded and polished out. Then I have to tape it up and do all the black parts on the body. I painted the wheels flat/semi gloss black, and I also finished the chassis, and weathered it a bit.

Thanks for looking.

I do wish Dodge would offer the Challenger in green with a beige interior. I think it would look SO nice in that color.

The local Enterprise office has a base 6-cylinder Challenger in silver, and it actually looks really nice. I might actually try building one like that for myself.

Nice work, Jared.

Thanks Charlie.

So I started wet sanding and polishing out the body, also got the interior half painted, but no pics.

After:

Over the next few days I will get this polished out and will have an update when I get more done on it.

Thanks for looking.

Here's a update on my 09 challenger, I finally finished polishing it out, and also got the interior done, which I'm not happy about, because I still can't find a tan I like, but I think it still looks all right. I also got the black accents on the car painted, and the rear bumper is done.

I hope to finish this one soon, because it's coming along good.

thanks for looking, and I hope to have more progress on it soon.

The rebuild is looking good. Dodge is going offer 4 interior colors on the 2011 Challengers. Not sure if there will be a dark green but there is talk of the sub lime in a limited run.

Looks like it coming along great and I love that paint color too.

[Jared Roach]

Thanks guys.

So this is the last few pics I forgot to upload, so here they are.

I got the body on the chassis, and the mirrors didn't have a good mounting point, so I drilled them out and put a piece of wire in them.
