ChYsler 300C Touring SRT8

[Mopar - D]

This is my first posting of a WIP and also my first resin build. To start with I've picked up the following kits to use for my build Jimmy Fintstone Magnum SRT 8 with a Chyrsler 300C front end. Over in Europe Chyrsler sold this car as the 300C Touring model and also offered it as a SRT8 option. My build will be in the SRT8 version. I also picker up a Revell SRT8 Magnum, SRT8 300C (1/24 scale) and the AMT Chyrsler 300C. So far I have cut the rear bumper from the SRT8 300 and resized it to fit the Magnum. to get the SRT 300C wheels I used the custom wheels in the Magnum kit .

This is also my first time entering on a post with my iPad it has been a lot of trial and error to get it to work.

Nice job on the bodywork! I like what you've done!

Was able to find some time this past week to get some work done on the 300. Finished buffing out the body and added what little BMF there is and some black trim. Made a lot of progress on the interior paint and build. Also have the engine painted and built. Thanks for the comments. also did a trial fit up to see how the resin body accepts all the different parts.

Is that 6.1L I see on that engine? Do those cars come with that size of an engine? Or is that the size your using for your build? Sorry if you said something and I missed it. Looking good.

Ron, all the 300C, Magnum, Charger and Challenger SRT 8 s are 6.1 motors with 425 HP. For 2011 and 2012 they bumped it to a 6.4 liter with either 470 or 465 HP I can tell you that the SRT 8 Magnum 1:1 hauls butt. Even after 5 years of getting groceries

[Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants]

Oh wow! Give it 5 more years and im sure itll still haul butt. Seems i've over looked cars like that. Not no more.

Thanks

Ron I ail still have both of my 6.1's five years om now to.

[Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants]

Dan thats awesome. You havent had a problem with either one I bet.

Whats the other color in your interior btw I cant make it out, black and?

[Mopar - D]

Ron, I've just had some warranty stuff over the years. I used 3 grays on the interior MM light gray, airship gray and gun ship gray with black flocking on the floor. Here are some new updates from this weekends progress. I should have this finished this coming weekend if I don't run in to any more problems with it all fitting together.

Finished this was a challenge to build with the resin body and the mixed kits.
