crazyjim Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I wanted to play with the airbrush so I started the rear of the care with HOK white, into HOK yellow, into HOK orange, into HOK red and then covered everything with some Pearl Ex powder. It sparkles! I tubbed the rear and stuck a pair of Ma's Resin fantastic M/T Sportsman tires in there. The axle is about only an inch wide. I took the original 4427 SOHC engine and molded copies of it so I'll have the engine available through Crazy Scale Auto Parts.
72 Charger Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Thats nice jim did you have a problem with the hood fit?
Bartster Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 That's perty ! Sign me up for one of those 427s ! I always liked this kits version. Now if they'd just make one un-chopped ! I love the fade job. Check your e-mail, l just did something very similar ! This thing looks wicked with the big meats tucked in the back. Nice wheel treatment too. I'm loving this whole build ! Bart.
crazyjim Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Yeah Doobie, I did. I ran a fuel line (yellow wire) down to what I thought is the fuel pump. The line goes to the front and that messes up the alignment of the radiator. Plus, with all the work I did on the tubbing, the alignment holes/pins were gone. And there's the alternator riding low on the right side. So much for planning ahead. Thanks, Bart. I have a couple just anxious to jump into a box for you. Those Weld wheels are my castings too, but I just cast wheels for myself nowadays.
Dr. Cranky Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 That's a beauty, Jim. No decals on this one?

Bart. Drastic Plastics makes a resin body with the stock roof height. Looks awesome Jim!
TooOld Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 That's a pretty sharp paint job , Looks like your experiment worked ! I'm glad to see you posting some builds here , I was beginning to think everybody went on vacation !
crazyjim Posted December 8, 2012 Author Posted December 8, 2012 Thank you, guys. I very rarely use decals, doc.
surfjunke Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Very cool build. Very nicely done. Like those rear meats tucked inside the fenders. Nice finish as well.
