W-409 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Those little parts what needs to be painted fit nicely to the body, so I installed the glass and then interior to the body, and now body and chassis are together... It's starting to look pretty good, I think. Next I'm going to wait those little parts being ready, then final assembly. Brett, thanks for the kind words!
Guest Markus355 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Niko, ive got to say, the improvements in your builds over the last little while is nothing short of amazing. this looks great.
brodie_83 Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Love the '70 Bee's! You did a fantastic job at restoring this kit!
MrDemon340 Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 looking good man i love mopar did u notice the wiper motor is missing in all most all these kit i cant never seem to find one in mine
W-409 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Thanks, Mark, Brodie and Joe! The wiper motor is still missing, I haven't find one from my parts box, maybe I must scratchbuilt one. Also there are still lots of little things to do... Little update. I glued the lower front panel on its place. (what is that part name in english....?) Also grille is glued on its place. I detail painted the taillight panel too. Next step is building the wiper motor, and installing shocks. Hope I can finish this one soon...
Guest Sickfish Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Niko you have done some nice work, so far, on this Superbee I was building a couple of these late last year before i had to stop work on them But before you install the rear tail-light panel you should check these pictures out & try to replicate the red line around the panel... Either with clear red paint or some very thin red wire... Keep up the good work mate, cheers Cliffo
W-409 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks, Tyrone! And thanks, Cliff! And that red line on taillight panel is a good note, I'll paint that one. I have one clear red paint, and that will work fine, I think. Now needs to find some reference shots from that wiper motor too. Thanks, both!
Guest Sickfish Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Hope this help's you out Niko? Cheers Cliffo
richcrabman Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Looks good that niko I like the White stripe on the red paint work. Can i just point one thing out without being critical.mabe you should think of using red or White primer next time you do red paint work.as the grey has made the red a little dark....but a nice build by far Rich
W-409 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks, Cliff, that picture helps. I just found one too, so maybe I'll build that part with those pics. Thanks. And thank you, Rich! White stripe fits better than black one with red, I think. I know, that the white primer should make the color bit lighter, now it's bit dark as you said, but I like this shade of red better. This is just correct color for '70 Super Bee, I think. Thanks both, there might be update coming in next couple of days.

W-409 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 Super Bee is now finished, and here comes the last set of WIP pictures. HUGE thanks, to everyone, who has took time to view, and post comments to this topic. THANK YOU!!! And here are the pictures: Hood is completed... Washer wiper motor is installed, it's close enough, I think. I installed rear shocks... And complete taillight panel, as good as I could get... I'll post finished pictures in Under Glass soon. Thanks.
oldscool Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Hey Niko, nice work but that's not the wiper motor. That's a roadrunner "beep beep" horn that is left over from another kit that the sprues were originally made for. The instructions wrongly tell you to put it there. The real wiper motor is a small chrome piece that is between the shocks and air cleaner on the sprue. I have seen many, many AMT Mopars built with this mistake. gus Edited August 26, 2011 by oldscool
W-409 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 Cliff, I tried using Humbroll's clear red. That's bit too thick, I think, wish I could have Tamiya's clear red paint.... I need to pick up one bottle of it, and then I'll fix that problem. And Gerald, I was thinking, is that supposed to be horn, but that's as close as I could find from my parts box. I don't have the parts trees, because this was a glue bomb restore, so I didn't find the original part for it... But anyway, I'm pretty happy about the end result, even if there are some mistakes, but next one better... Thanks, for the Comments everyone!
