crazyjim Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Here's my Citrus Coupe. Why citrus? The body is painted in HOK candy tangerine; interior is mango and cream with orange flocking; running boards are mango; frame is cream; suspension conponents are cream & mango. I tried to really detail this build with heater hoses, AC lines, fuel lines, throttle linkage, oil & trans dipsticks. The hood sides were opened up and a piece of Evergreen glued in.

funhouse1 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 That is really beautiful, looks very nice in that color. I have that kit somewhere and really hadn't given much thought to building it until now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S. Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 That's a beauty for sure. Great color combo and the details on the engine look real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Thank you all very much. It's a wonderful kit except for the interior. I prefer an interior tub where 1 unit slides up into the body. On this kit you glue the door panels & dashboard in and then the floor board, seats, and truck seperator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldboychas Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 That's just jaw-dropping beautiful !!!!! Thanks for sharing it with us. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Holy cow! Thank you fellas. Believe it or not, the little shiny pieces on the heater & AC hoses are necklace bead things. I found them in 4 sizes at Hobby Lobby. I refuse to pay the too high price for scale AN fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
