bryan_m Posted June 24, 2012 Author Posted June 24, 2012 Nathan, those wheels came from the Revell 2009 Dodge challenger kit. it comes with 2 sets of wheels, one stock, one aftermarket. bryan
Hedgehog Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 you're doing some good progress. I wanna see it finished. I also liked the idea of a modern interior in a classic.
bryan_m Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 thanks Dan! originally i was going to go triple black..........black paint, black interior, and a black vinyl top. but now i think i am going to use this green (forget the name) that i shot on a new ford at work the other day.... its a newer color, not light, not dark. i like it. that green with tan interior and a tan vinyl top is what i am thinking now. i havent taken any new progress pics lately, its all been sanding and filling, and sanding and filling.......pretty boring stuff. once i get the body ready for color i will post some new pics. cheers! bryan
TooOld Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Lookin' good Bryan ! The Challenger interior is going to look great ! As smooth as you are getting it , it deserves to be Black !
bryan_m Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 thanks Bob! the color is still up in the air, for now....... cheers bryan
Hedgehog Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Oh that's one of my future proyects (68 charger) its one of my favorite custom cars since I saw all the episodes of WCC lovely ride. It would be "bananas" to See that color on your ride Bryan Edited June 26, 2012 by Hedgehog

Marcus M. Jones Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 primer color would look really cool as the main color with white as the accent color.
Dr. Cranky Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 This thing is going to be a monster. Loving it, keep it going. Eat more chicken wings and make more progress. Come on.

bryan_m Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 what grit did you block sand the primer with? started with 800, then hit it with 1000 grit so it was nice and smooth, but scuffed enuff for the basecoat to adhere.... thanks bryan
bryan_m Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 ok guys, i finally picked a color for this build! actually 2 colors.........its gonna be metallic black on top, and silver on the bottom. with a very thin red stripe seperating the two colors! yea, im goin two tone! LOL im hoping to shoot the silver tonight, when the temperature cools down a bit, its a little warm and humid right now to shoot paint. when the humidity is too high it makes basecoat cloudy..........stay tuned, im hopin to shoot it in an hour or so! thanks for all the great comments guys stay tuned bryan
nboldman Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Sweet! Can't wait! What engine setup is going into this bad boy??

bryan_m Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 SWEEET!!!!!! i found it!! LOL now i can start painting, as long as the humidity has gone down a bit. stay tuned! bryan
