'70 Dodge Challenger R/T

[Wheels]

This is a model of my '70 Challenger that I owned a long time ago.This was the car that few knew that I owned. Only a couple friends and my girlfriend at the time. I never took any pictures of so this will be done from memory. My biggest regret was that I sold it. The kid that I sold it to wrecked it at his high school parking lot. He was showing off doing donuts, he slammed it into a telephone pole! It was a great car with a perfect interior.

Here's my starting point. I purchased this kit a few years ago for this build.

I stripped the model to bare metal, shot it with self-etching primer, then a coat of white primer before spraying the body with House Of Kolor Tre Blue Pearl. I really like this paint it went on quick and easy and it is a beautiful shade of blue!

THAT is going to look sweet !

I've been working on this kit as well , more off than on , for years now . It goes-together nicely ; its 440 Six Pack / TorqueFlite combo is probably the nicest assembly of the kit's contents .

"True Blue" was the name of a factory colour , although I cannot remember what years or paint code it is (EB5 or EB7).

That's good to know! This Tru Blue is a little darker. Gloss coat coming the decent day.The hood is going to be painted flat or semi-gloss black. I'll be using BMF on the trim. Looking for the right wheel and tire combo. The real car had 50's on the rear mounted on Crager style mags.
