1970 Dodge Super Bee

[geetee66]

I bought htis kit on a whim a few years ago...didn't really know what I was going to do with it, but it was only a tenner.

google rersearch brought up the well-known Biohazard 1:1 car.

I decided that all chrome should be black and it needed a roll cage. (which I made from styrene rod)

Wheels are Aoshima Watanabe's. I dropped the suspension, added plug wires, battery cables and wires from the dynamo.

The paint is rattle can (A Chrysler hue: Snakeskin Pearl Effect) and has a nice gold glitter inside the lime green.

There were two engines in the kit (I think there's a pro street version as well as the stock version) so I opted for the Hemi and the more racy looking headers and pipes.

There was a bit of filling and bodywork to do, in order to get it all straight. The chrome was actually some of the best I've encountered on a kit and in a way a shame to destroy it, but once I decide on an idea, there's no going back....

I also added heater hoses and drilled brake discs (Pegasus)

That's nice . . . and different . Not sure what I think of the blacked out trim , but you did a great job with it and the paint looks super smooth .

[Jim N]

I like that, I like the wheels you used on it

[bbowser]

Great paint, nice job on the engine. Very clean build, congrats.

[W-Machine]

I like the sinister look of blacked-out chrome.

[Tonioseven]

Supremely sinister!!!

[slusher]

Thats a really cool build, love the black chrome. Excellent.

Here's a shot of the interior. I just used flat and semi-gloss black and some BMF on the dashboard. I added an indicator stalk made from fuse wire and opted for the kit's Hurst pistol-grip shifter.

I dunno bout you, but if I suddenly saw this grille in my rearview mirror, I'd get out of the way!

Now that's a cool looking 'Super Bee'

[Chuck Most]

Mean looking Mopar.

[gtx6970]

I love it. One of the best looking body styles from Dodge ever

I think I know where the insperation came from. http://shannongrasso.com/

This looks mean. If this was the pro street Bee that other engine is the DOHC Hemi, the "Doomsday motor"

[1930fordpickup]

What a way to make an ugly duck cool . Great looking car !

[Dr. Cranky]

Very nice and beautiful. Love the color too.

[zenrat]

Like it. Good job.

[bsoder]

Well I think it looks pretty MEAN!..very cool

[phil-east]

i love the green and black combo, looks really mean, nice work !

[FatManScaleDesigns]

Personally one of my favorite mopar models I've seen. This is awesome!

[Harry P.]

I think you should paint the hood flat black. Oops, I mean bonnet.

[geetee66]

Cheers guys. Thanks for the nice comments.

I did consider a black hood Harry, but I decided that the flowing contours of the nose, extending out to the tops of the fenders, would look better without a split in the colour.
