Dodge Magnum

[Cesar Bossolani]

Front suspension almost done.

Engine compartment almost done also. All as possible was plumbed and wired... Wire was revested with Kyosho 0,7mm tape to looks like a real car.

Hemi in place... All of sensors was wired like as throttle sensors, air flow sensor, vaccum hose etc....

Now need some cleaning in there because it's a "showcar"... So it'll looks like as new!!

Thanks to see!! All feedback are welcome!

Stunning work Cesar, the detailing under the hood is beautiful! What gauge/size is the wire you used for the sensors? I can't find anything that small around here, I'd love to get my hands on some!

[Guest Sickfish]

Bro... What can i say... Fantastico! This is the 1st modern Hemi i have seen wired/plumbed! & it's spot on! 

You made really great shocks! 

Cheers Cliffo 

Updating!

Last engine pic outside of the body.

I did wheels logo with 5 min epoxi glue.

Before

After

I'm closing the car... Most difficult part, especially in the Magnum... The things doesn't fit like on pre-assembly did.

And no courage no put chassi in the body... Needs a lot of patience and time... Will be in another day!

By the way, I need to thank my great mate Cliffo again for windows. Without them my model didn't came to this.

Thank you my Mopar bro!!!

Feel free to post!

Cheers!

Your level of detail is great and the finish is superb. Keep it up.

[Cesar Bossolani]

Cesar, who cares if it's been a year, for this level of detail and quality, take as much time as you need! That engine bay looks spectacular, and the front fascia is beautiful!

[tyrone]

Spectacular work, the paint is off the chain.....

[Scale-Master]

Talk about stuffing 10 pounds of something into a 3 pound bag... That engine bay looks full.

I especially like what you did with the chassis and suspension. Very nice.

Talk about stuffing 10 pounds of something into a 3 pound bag...

That, my friend, is what we in Indiana call a 'Blivet'!

I just discovered this thread... Don't ask me how I missed it all this time... I am beyond impressed! I have a new Charger in the works and am really inspired by this build! I think I'm going to go in a different direction with it now...lol!

[Cesar Bossolani]

Unfortunately my build doesn't running in the expected speed. Was too much hard to assembly and align tail gate with body/lens/glass

1st I glued glass in place with tail gate closed and aligned.

So, tail gate has own life and want to be opened in down position. Then I glued some wires to push it down and keep it closed.

I found a better adjustment for inner panel in place with tail gate opened. Then put epoxi glue, then I closed tail gate then used some tape to keep all close and aligned.

Tail gate didn't keep closed yet. So, I found a latch in inner panel and it was far to the body. I used 0,5mm styrene and ok!! Tail gate works now!!

I'm really tired, because I did all pre-assembly before paint job and all was fixed... But in final assembly are too much hard to put all together than pre-assembly.

I must confessed also. Isn't distraction/hobby... I did this in the same time was spent in 350Z polishing job and was very fun build.

Thanks to see.

I had the same issues with my tailgate, I added a piece of steel to the bottom edge of the tailgate, and a few earth magnets under the floor board, did the trick for me! Beautiful paint BTW, Black is always one of the hardest colors to get looking really good!

Bro it's looking close to finish.... Fantastic re-alignment job... I knew you smart enough to fix problem ;-) .... Now just add chassis & boom... Finish... After 1 year!!

Saude Cliffo!

[Cesar Bossolani]

Merry Xmas Fellas!

After 11 months without put a finger in this build, yesterday I decided finish it.

I re-polished machined lips and painted scratchbuild intake tube and element.

Still need mirrors, wings, put brake lines in calipers, some detail and touch up before finishing.

I hope you like it and feel free to critics and comments.
